Technology Decomposition and Technology Recombination in Industrial Catch-up for Large Emerging Economies: Evidence from Chinese Manufacturing Industries
Authors: Chen Xiaoling , Guo Bin , Guo Jingjing , Li Wen Helena 
Published: June 2021

ABSTRACTThe influence of technological learning on industry-level catch-up has long drawn substantial attention in the catch-up research field. However, the underlying mechanisms of technological learning and the unique catch-up context in large emerging economies are much less explored. To explain the technological learning processes of latecomers that face the technology gap and strive to build differentiated competitive advantage, this study builds on the absorptive capacity perspective and deconstructs technological learning processes into two mechanisms: technology decomposition and technology recombination. The former entails decomposing advanced technologies into pieces, parts, or modules, while the latter entails the process of capturing market opportunities through recombining knowledge from diverse sources into commercial products through localized innovations and adaptations. Then, we propose a unique ‘ladder-like’ catch-up context (i.e., technology ladder and market ladder) and investigate how the technological learning process and the unique catch-up context jointly affect industrial catch-up performance in China. Using seven-year panel data from Chinese manufacturing industries, the results indicate that only technology recombination has a significantly positive relationship with industrial catch-up performance. In addition, the market ladder strengthens the positive impact of technology recombination on industrial catch-up, while the technology ladder weakens the positive impact of technology decomposition on catch-up.
Defining Asian Socialism: The Asian Socialist Conference, Asian Socialists, and the Limits of a Global Socialist Movement in 1953
Authors: Imlay Talbot Charles 
Published: June 2021

AbstractThe article examines the debates at the Asian Socialist Conference's (ASC) inaugural gathering in Rangoon in January 1953, using a variety of sources, including the minutes of the conference meetings found in the Swedish Social Democratic Party archives. The focus is on the efforts of Asian socialists to define Asian socialism in terms of three broad subjects: international politics; domestic politics; and economic politics. Throughout, particular attention is accorded to the role played by understandings of European socialism. The argument is threefold: that socialism was central to the ASC project, prompting efforts to define Asian socialism; that these efforts invariably raised the fraught question of Asian socialism's relationship with European socialism; and that the stakes involved in Rangoon were not limited to Asian socialism, but also involved socialism's potential as a global movement.
Martial
Authors: Sullivan J. P. 
Published: June 2021

Martial presents a critical problem. On the one hand, there was his undeniable popularity and literary influence on European literature from the Renaissance to at least the end of the seventeenth century. On the other hand, there is the obvious embarrassment he presents to modern literary historians.The two viewpoints are easily contrasted. Pliny the Younger in the famous letter written about 102 had expressed doubts about Martial's literary survival, but gave him generous credit for his talent, sharp wit, candour, and mordancy. (Erat homo ingeniosus acutus acer, et qui plurimum inscribendo et satis haberet etfellis, nec candoris minus, Ep.3.21.1.) Nevertheless Martial's work survived the wreck of late Antiquity and the Middle Ages handsomely, and with the Renaissance, he came into his own as a poet. Angelo Poliziano described him asingeniosissimus, ‘very talented’, andargutissimus, ‘clever’ (Miscellan. 6); such judgements were echoed by Jovianus Pontanus (De sermone3.18) and Julius Caesar Scaliger, who claimed that many of his epigrams weredivina, praising theirsermonis castitas, ‘purity of speech’ (Poet.3.126).Festivissimus, ‘most witty’, andlepidissimus, ‘charming’, were the adjectives used by Adrianus Turnebus (Advers. 8.4; 13.19). Only a few critics, such as the censorious Andrea Navigero and Raffaele Maffei (Volaterranus), objected to him on moral grounds. His reception among English poets was equally enthusiastic. Sir John Harington stated firmly ‘that of all poems, the Epigram is the pleasantest, and of all that write epigram, Martial is counted the wittiest.’

AbstractObjective:To evaluate diets in terms of nutritional characteristics and quality from the perspectives of health, greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and possible associations with each other in a representative sample of students at a public university.Design:Cross-sectional. Dietary intake was evaluated with a validated FFQ, and diet quality was assessed through the Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2010) and MedDietScore (MDS). GHGE data were obtained from the literature. In addition, sex, socio-economic status (SES) and body fat (BF) status were analysed as covariates.Setting:Basque Autonomous Community, Spain.Participants:Totally, 26 165 healthy adults aged 18–28 years.Results:Student diets were characterised by low consumption of carbohydrates (38·72 % of total energy intake (TEI)) and a high intake of lipids (39·08 % of TEI). Over half of the participants had low dietary quality. The low-emitting diets were more likely to be consumed by subjects with low HEI-2010 scores (β: 0·039 kg eCO2/1000 kcal/d) and high MDS scores (β: −0·023 kg eCO2/1000 kcal/d), after controlling for sex, SES and BF status. Both the low-emitting and healthy diets were more likely to be consumed by women and by those with normal BF percentage.Conclusions:UPV/EHU university students’ diets were characterised by moderate quality from a nutritional perspective and moderate variation in the size of carbon footprints. In this population, diets of the highest quality were not always those with the lowest diet-related GHGE; this relationship depended in part on the constructs and scoring criteria of diet quality indices used.
Establishing white clover (Trifolium repens) as a living mulch: weed control and herbicide tolerance
Authors: Basinger Nicholas T. , Hill Nicholas S. 
Published: June 2021

AbstractWith the increasing focus on herbicide-resistant weeds and the lack of introduction of new modes of action, many producers have turned to planting annual cover crops as a method for reducing weed populations. Recent studies have suggested that perennial cover crops such as white clover could be used as living mulch. However, white clover is slow to establish and is susceptible to competition from winter weeds. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine clover tolerance and weed control in established stands of white clover to several herbicides. Studies were conducted in the fall and winter of 2018 to 2019, and 2019 to 2020, at the J. Phil Campbell Research and Education Center in Watkinsville, GA, and the Southeast Georgia Research and Education Center in Midville, GA. POST applications of imazethapyr, bentazon, or flumetsulam at low and high rates, or in combination with 2,4-D and 2,4-DB, were applied when clover reached the 2- to 3-trifoliate stage. Six weeks after the initial POST application, a sequential application of bentazon and flumetsulam individually, and combinations of 2,4-D, 2,4-DB, and flumetsulam, were applied over designated plots. Clover biomass was similar across all treatments except where it was reduced by sequential applications of 2,4-D + 2,4-DB + flumetsulam in the 2019 to 2020 season, indicating that most treatments were safe for use on establishing living mulch clover. A single application of flumetsulam at the low rate or a single application of 2,4-D + 2,4-DB provided the greatest control of all weed species while minimizing clover injury compared with the nontreated check. These herbicide options allow for control of problematic winter weeds during clover establishment, thereby maximizing clover biomass and limiting canopy gaps that would allow summer weed emergence.

Published: June 2021

AbstractOverexpression of the receptor tyrosine kinase HER2 plays a critical role in the development of various tumors. Biparatopic designed ankyrin repeat proteins (bipDARPins) potently induce apoptosis in HER2-addicted breast cancer cell lines. Here, we have investigated how the spatiotemporal receptor organization at the cell surface is modulated by these agents and is distinguished from other molecules, which do not elicit apoptosis. Binding of conventional antibodies is accompanied by moderate reduction of receptor mobility, in agreement with HER2 being dimerized by the bivalent IgG. In contrast, the most potent apoptosis-inducing bipDARPins lead to a dramatic arrest of HER2. Dual-color single-molecule tracking revealed that the HER2 “lockdown” by these bipDARPins is caused by the formation of HER2-DARPin oligomer chains, which are trapped in nanoscopic membrane domains. Our findings establish that efficient neutralization of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling can be achieved through intermolecular bipDARPin crosslinking alone, resulting in inactivated, locked-down bipDARPin-HER2 complexes.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
Introduction Women with a pathogenic BRCA1/2 mutation have a markedly increased lifetime risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer. The current preventive treatment alternatives that are offered are an intensified breast cancer screening programme and risk-reducing operations. Before deciding on one option, medical and personal factors such as life situation and individual preferences must be weighed carefully. Decision aids are used internationally to support BRCA1/2 mutation carriers during their decision-making process. In this study these are analysed structurally for the first time and their applicability to the German context is examined.
Material and Methods A systematic literature search in five electronic databases and a manual search were performed. The identified decision aids were evaluated with regard to formal criteria, medical content and quality. The qualitative assessment used the criteria of the International Patient Decision Aid Standards Collaboration (IPDASi v4.0), which examined various dimensions (e.g., information, probabilities, values).
Results Twenty decision aids, which were published between 2003 and 2019 in Australia (n = 4), the United Kingdom (n = 3), Canada (n = 2), the Netherlands (n = 2) and the USA (n = 9), were included. Nine focus on BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and eleven include other risk groups. Eighteen include risk-reducing operations as decision options, 14 list screening methods for breast and/or ovarian cancer, and 13 describe the possibility of pharmacological prevention by means of selective oestrogen receptor modulators or aromatase inhibitors. Nine of the 20 decision aids meet fundamental quality criteria (IPDASi v4.0 qualification criteria).
Conclusion International decision aids can serve formally as a basis for a German decision aid for BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. Some of them differ markedly in content from the recommendations of German guidelines. Only a few achieve a high quality.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
Background and study aims Delayed bleeding and thrombotic events are uncontrolled adverse events that are hard to balance in patients receiving anticoagulants after endoscopic resection. The present study aims to assess the clinical effect of warfarin, when compared to direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), in terms of delayed bleeding and thrombotic events.
Methods A comprehensive electronic literature search was conducted for eligible literature. Pairwise meta-analyses were performed on outcomes of delayed bleeding and thrombotic events. Two networks within the Bayesian framework were established based on the management of anticoagulants and type of DOAC.
Results Eight cohort studies with 2,046 patients were eligible for inclusion, including 1,176 patients treated with warfarin and 870 with DOACs. There was no significant difference between warfarin and DOACs, in terms of delayed bleeding (OR = 1.29, 95 % CI [0.99–1.69]) and thromboembolism (OR = 2.0, 95 % CI [0.32–12.39]). In the network meta-analyses for delayed bleeding, the rank probabilities revealed that the safest management was discontinuous warfarin without heparin bridge therapy (HBT). Rank probabilities for the types of DOACs demonstrated that the safest drug was dabigatran.
Conclusions There was no significant difference in delayed bleeding and thromboembolism between warfarin and DOACs in patients receiving endoscopic treatment. In terms of delayed bleeding, discontinuous warfarin without HBT was suggested as the best management, and dabigatran was recommended as the best type of DOAC.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
In this paper, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation software LAMMPS is used to simulate the elastic properties and stability of Ti-V single-crystal alloys. The relationship between the elastic constant and the mechanical stability of Ti-V alloy with a body-centered cubic (BCC) structure is studied. The energy relationship between TiV alloys with hexagonal close-packed (HCP) structure and BCC structure are compared, respectively. The effects of temperature, crystal orientations, and V content on the mechanical properties of TiV alloys are calculated under uniaxial tensile test. The results show that both ultimate tensile strength and plasticity of the Ti-V alloy with BCC structure decrease with the increase of temperature and V content, due to the phase transition from the BCC structure to the face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. Finally, it is identified that the modes of the transformation from BCC structure to FCC structure during the tensile process are BCC(100)//FCC(110), BCC(010)//FCC(1

A case report of fulminant primary streptococcal pericarditis
Authors: Bousoula Eleni , Stratinaki Maria , Malakos Ioannis , Sbarouni Eftihia 
Published: June 2021

Abstract

Background
Bacterial pericarditis is a rare, rapidly progressive, and highly fatal infection, even with drainage and antibiotics. Gram-positive cocci, specifically Streptococcus pneumoniae, have been the most common cause of bacterial pericarditis from either haematogenous dissemination, or spread from another adjacent site of infection. Following the introduction of antibiotics in the 1940s and more recently the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, the incidence has drastically decreased.

Case summary
A previously healthy young male was diagnosed with acute pericarditis with no signs of haemodynamic compromise on initial presentation. Several hours later, he became unstable suffering from cardiac tamponade and septic shock. Despite urgent pericardiocentesis and drainage of purulent fluid, culture positive for streptococcus pneumoniae, multi-organ failure was eventually fatal.

Discussion
We describe a rare case of primary S. pneumoniae purulent pericarditis leading to tamponade, septic shock, and death. Due to the high mortality rate of purulent pericarditis, a high index of suspicion is needed in order to initiate appropriate therapy with antibiotics and drainage.
Metalexicographical Investigations with the DiCo Database
Authors: Sajous Franck , Martinez Camille 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
This article presents DiCo, an inventory of the changes in the nomenclature of four French dictionaries (Dictionnaire de l’Académie française, Dictionnaire Hachette, Le Petit Larousse and Le Petit Robert). For each modification recorded, DiCo provides additional information on the microstructural level, such as the linguistic labels included in the article where the change occurred. Based on a manual comparison of the successive editions of a given dictionary, DiCo can be the starting point for quantitative and qualitative metalexicographical studies. The description of the diachronic evolution of a dictionary and the comparison of different dictionaries reveal that not only does lexicographical change reflect language evolution, but that the content of a dictionary is also bound to the editorial policy of a publishing house, itself subject to change. Given the scarcity of information on this topic provided to the general public by French publishing houses, a resource facilitating metalexicographical investigations is particularly helpful. In addition to enabling a better understanding of French dictionaries, DiCo may be useful to linguists interested in lexicology and diachronic and diatopic variation. Finally, it might also prove useful for building lexicons for natural language processing.
Sliding Amyand’s hernia: a case report and review of literature

Abstract
First operated by Claudius Amyand in 1735. Amyand’s hernia is a rare presentation and accounts for only 1% of all inguinal hernias. Amyand’s hernia is described when the appendix is trapped within an inguinal hernia. In most cases, Amyand’s hernia is an incidental finding intra-operatively due to variable clinical manifestations, and features. Amyand’s hernia has variable theories explaining its pathophysiology besides having multiple proposed surgical approaches either via laparoscopic or open repair and with the latter being in a debate of pro and against mesh repair. We present a case of a sliding Amyand’s hernia in which the vermiform appendix and part of the cecum were adherents to the wall of a right inguinal hernial sac. Amyand’s hernia is a rare form of inguinal hernias and its presentation is widely variable. However, in most cases, it is non-complicated and is found as an incidental intraoperative finding. Many studies debate among different diagnostic and management approaches to serve a better outcome with fewer operative complications.
Metacognitive asymmetries in visual perception
Authors: Mazor Matan , Moran Rani , Fleming Stephen M 
Published: June 2021

AbstractPeople have better metacognitive sensitivity for decisions about the presence compared to the absence of objects. However, it is not only objects themselves that can be present or absent, but also parts of objects and other visual features. Asymmetries in visual search indicate that a disadvantage for representing absence may operate at these levels as well. Furthermore, a processing advantage for surprising signals suggests that a presence/absence asymmetry may be explained by absence being passively represented as a default state, and presence as a default-violating surprise. It is unknown whether the metacognitive asymmetry for judgments about presence and absence extends to these different levels of representation (object, feature, and default violation). To address this question and test for a link between the representation of absence and default reasoning more generally, here we measure metacognitive sensitivity for discrimination judgments between stimuli that are identical except for the presence or absence of a distinguishing feature, and for stimuli that differ in their compliance with an expected default state.
The costs of occupational gender segregation in high-tech growth and productivity across US local labor markets
Authors: Scarborough William J , Sobering Katherine , Kwon Ronald , Mumtaz Mehr 
Published: June 2021

AbstractTheories of endogenous economic growth propose that the exchange of information between workers with different knowledge facilitates innovation. In this study, we explore whether occupational gender segregation poses a barrier to endogenous growth by limiting the extent to which women and men workers exchange information, ideas and perspectives. Focusing on technology industries as a sector where information exchange plays a large role, we use error correction models to test for the potential long-term costs of occupational gender segregation on industry growth and productivity across US local labor markets from 2005 through 2019. Results indicate that occupational gender segregation stalls tech growth, while also hindering productivity. Conversely stated, the occupational integration of women and men provides a boon to growth and productivity in local tech sectors. As regions strive to be competitive in the new economy, those fostering collaboration between women and men will be better positioned to succeed.
How do intrinsically disordered viral proteins hijack the cell?
Authors: Dyson H. Jane 
Published: June 2021

Intrinsically disordered viral proteins are central to the infectivity and pathogenicity of viruses. For oncogenic viruses, the presence of disordered proteins coded by the viral genome is an important part of the process of disruption of the host cell cycle that leads to cellular transformation. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a DNA virus that infects cells of the skin and mucous membranes. The infections are mostly benign, resulting in the formation of papillomas (warts), but infection with certain strains causes a high risk of transformation to cancers, especially cervical cancer. High risk strains include HPV16, while HPV6 is a related strain with low risk of cancerous transformation. The proteins most implicated in the cancerous transformations mediated by HPV are E6 and E7. We studied the interactions of one of these proteins, E7, to elucidate the structural basis for the differences in cancer risk between high and low‐risk strains. The E7 protein interacts with two major cellular control proteins, the retinoblastoma protein pRb, which controls the entry of the cell into S phase of the cell cycle, halting the progression of cell division. pRb acts by sequestering the factor E2F which is required for cell cycle progression. The HPV E7 protein displaces E2F from pRb, initiating uncontrolled cellular proliferation. The other important interaction of E7 is with the CREB‐binding protein CBP, a transcriptional activator that mediates the transcription of p53‐related genes. The E7 protein disrupts p53 binding to CBP, abrogating the processes that lead to apoptosis of infected cells. Residues 1–51 of HPV E7 are intrinsically disordered and bind preferentially to the TAZ2 domain of CBP. Pull‐down assays show that a ternary E7‐pRb‐TAZ2 ternary complex is formed in the presence of full‐length E7(1–98). NMR chemical shift perturbation studies of TAZ2 in the presence of E7 and pRb demonstrate the formation of a ternary complex. The stability of the E7‐TAZ2‐pRb ternary complex probably holds an important clue to the oncogenic potential of the high‐risk HPV strains. A stable ternary complex will bring pRb into proximity to CBP, which contains in addition to the TAZ2 domain an acetyltransferase module that can acetylate pRb, leading to its degradation.Support or Funding InformationNIGMS GM113251This abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2018 Meeting.
