MODERN APPROACHES IN STUDENTS INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCY FORMATION AT BUSINESS ENGLISH LESSONS
Authors: Rezunova О. 
Published: April 2018

Language is a part of culture, and plays a very important role in the development of the culture. Some sociologists consider it as the keystone of culture. They believe, without language, culture would not be available. At the same time, language is influenced and shaped by culture, it reflects culture. Therefore, culture plays a very important part in language teaching. The article outlines the main approaches in the students intercultural competency formation at Business English lessons. The necessity of studying intercultural differences for successful business communication is argued. The author describes discussions, debates, presentations and project work as the most effective ways of students intercultural competency formation at Business English lessons.Key words: intercultural competency, Business English, business correspondence, discussions, presentation, debates, projects.

Authors: Jamkatelsh Bishnu Prasad 
Published: April 2018

The main objective of the study was to find out customer satisfaction of Himalaya airlines and analyzed the factors affecting customer satisfaction level. One hundred structured closed ended questionnaires were developed and distributed among the passengers who travelled through Himalaya airlines at Tribhuvan International airport (Kathmandu, Nepal) to collect data for result. In order to examine the effect, customer satisfaction was taken as dependent variable and ticket fares, airport services, employee behaviors, flight reliability and in-flight services were taken as independent variable. The users of Himalaya airlines in general were satisfied. It is suggested to the management to focus on fares in comparison with competitors.Int. J. Soc. Sc. Manage. Vol. 5, Issue-2: 69-71

Published: April 2018

BackgroundIt is unclear to what extent primary care practitioners (PCPs) should retain responsibility for follow-up to ensure that patients are monitored until their symptoms or signs are explained.AimTo explore the extent to which PCPs retain responsibility for diagnostic follow-up actions across 11 international jurisdictions.Design and settingA secondary analysis of survey data from the International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership.MethodThe authors counted the proportion of 2879 PCPs who retained responsibility for each area of follow-up (appointments, test results, and non-attenders). Proportions were weighted by the sample size of each jurisdiction. Pooled estimates were obtained using a random-effects model, and UK estimates were compared with non-UK ones. Free-text responses were analysed to contextualise quantitative findings using a modified grounded theory approach.ResultsPCPs varied in their retention of responsibility for follow-up from 19% to 97% across jurisdictions and area of follow-up. Test reconciliation was inadequate in most jurisdictions. Significantly fewer UK PCPs retained responsibility for test result communication (73% versus 85%, P = 0.04) and non-attender follow-up (78% versus 93%, P<0.01) compared with non-UK PCPs. PCPs have developed bespoke, inconsistent solutions to follow-up. In cases of greatest concern, ‘double safety netting’ is described, where both patient and PCP retain responsibility.ConclusionThe degree to which PCPs retain responsibility for follow-up is dependent on their level of concern about the patient and their primary care system’s properties. Integrated systems to support follow-up are at present underutilised, and research into their development, uptake, and effectiveness seems warranted.
Application of prescribing recommendations in older people with reduced kidney function: a cross-sectional study in general practice
Authors: Wood Su , Petty Duncan , Glidewell Liz , Raynor DK Theo 
Published: April 2018

BackgroundKidney function reduces with age, increasing the risk of harm from increased blood levels of many medicines. Although estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is reported for prescribing decisions in those aged ≥65 years, creatinine clearance (Cockcroft–Gault) gives a more accurate estimate of kidney function.AimTo explore the extent of prescribing outside recommendations for people aged ≥65 years with reduced kidney function in primary care and to assess the impact of using eGFR instead of creatinine clearance to calculate kidney function.Design and settingA cross-sectional survey of anonymised prescribing data in people aged ≥65 years from all 80 general practices (70 900 patients) in a north of England former primary care trust.MethodThe prevalence of prescribing outside recommendations was analysed for eight exemplar drugs. Data were collected for age, sex, actual weight, serum creatinine, and eGFR. Kidney function as creatinine clearance (Cockcroft–Gault) was calculated using actual body weight and estimated ideal body weight.ResultsKidney function was too low for recommended prescribing in 4–40% of people aged ≥65 years, and in 24–80% of people aged ≥85 years despite more than 90% of patients having recent recorded kidney function results. Using eGFR overestimated kidney function for 3–28% of those aged ≥65 years, and for 13–58% of those aged ≥85 years. Increased age predicted higher odds of having a kidney function estimate too low for recommended prescribing of the study drugs.ConclusionPrescribing recommendations when kidney function is reduced are not applied for many people aged ≥65 years in primary care. Using eGFR considerably overestimates kidney function for prescribing and, therefore, creatinine clearance (Cockcroft–Gault) should be assessed when prescribing for these people. Interventions are needed to aid prescribers when kidney function is reduced.

Abstract
We present the confirmation of a small, moderately irradiated (F = 155 ± 7 F
⊕) Neptune with a substantial gas envelope in a P = 11.8728787 ± 0.0000085 day orbit about a quiet, Sun-like G0V star Kepler-1655. Based on our analysis of the Kepler light curve, we determined Kepler-1655b’s radius to be 2.213 ± 0.082 R
⊕. We acquired 95 high-resolution spectra with Telescopio Nazionale Galileo/HARPS-N, enabling us to characterize the host star and determine an accurate mass for Kepler-1655b of

via Gaussian-process regression. Our mass determination excludes an Earth-like composition with 98% confidence. Kepler-1655b falls on the upper edge of the evaporation valley, in the relatively sparsely occupied transition region between rocky and gas-rich planets. It is therefore part of a population of planets that we should actively seek to characterize further.
Connections between Star Cluster Populations and Their Host Galaxy Nuclear Rings
Authors: Ma Chao , de Grijs Richard , Ho Luis C. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Nuclear rings are excellent laboratories for probing diverse phenomena such as the formation and evolution of young massive star clusters and nuclear starbursts, as well as the secular evolution and dynamics of their host galaxies. We have compiled a sample of 17 galaxies with nuclear rings, which are well resolved by high-resolution Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescope imaging. For each nuclear ring, we identified the ring star cluster population, along with their physical properties (ages, masses, and extinction values). We also determined the integrated ring properties, including the average age, total stellar mass, and current star formation rate (SFR). We find that Sb-type galaxies tend to have the highest ring stellar mass fraction with respect to the host galaxy, and this parameter is correlated with the ring’s SFR surface density. The ring SFRs are correlated with their stellar masses, which is reminiscent of the main sequence of star-forming galaxies. There are striking correlations between star-forming properties (i.e., SFR and SFR surface density) and nonaxisymmetric bar parameters, appearing to confirm previous inferences that strongly barred galaxies tend to have lower ring SFRs, although the ring star formation histories turn out to be significantly more complicated. Nuclear rings with higher stellar masses tend to be associated with lower cluster mass fractions, but there is no such relation for the ages of the rings. The two youngest nuclear rings in our sample, NGC 1512 and NGC 4314, which have the most extreme physical properties, represent the young extremity of the nuclear ring age distribution.
Mémoires du camouflage de la Grande Guerre dans l’art contemporain
Authors: Bouchet Renaud 
Published: April 2018

Le camouflage matériel appliqué durant la Grande Guerre est apparu comme une nécessité immédiate s’appliquant en contexte terrestre et naval dans la perspective défensive et offensive. Fait nouveau dans l’histoire militaire, sa théorisation comme son application ont principalement été confiées à des artistes et artisans d’art dont les compétences spécifiques ont été sollicitées notamment pour la dissimulation d’objectifs soit par fusion homotypique avec les milieux d’implantation, soit par déstructuration des formes révélatrices au moyen de procédés graphiques et chromatiques.Les démarches plasticiennes contemporaines ont pu croiser ce champ du camouflage sans que leurs initiateurs (A. Jacquet, A. Warhol, E. Rutten, K. Meyffret, S. Lang, R. Lichtenstein, M. Aubry, T. Hirschorn) aient toujours une conscience pleine et documentée de ce qu’ils devaient aux camoufleurs de la Grande Guerre et à leur contribution multiforme. D’autres ont clairement corrélé leurs pratiques à cette dernière - filiation à valeur de légitimation peut-être parfois délibérément recherchée - réinvestie et interprétée dans l’optique terrestre de la dissimulation ou bien au contraire dans celle de la Dazzle Painting ou « peinture tape-à-l’œil » navale (Lakonik, J.-C. Le Gouic, J. Koons, A. Bantjes, A. Judic, R. G. McHarg III, P. Van Lubeck, A. Reimann, F. Moreno, C. Fudge, J.-B. Sauvage, C. M. Kubricht). Tous ont assumé la dimension artistique voire esthétique du camouflage, niée, pressentie ou pleinement identifiée par ses expérimentateurs initiaux parmi lesquels H. Bouchard, F. Marc et E. Wadsworth. Une dimension très souvent autonome, faisant du « néo-camouflage » une expression étrangère à l’interrogation de la mémoire traumatique de la guerre.
Réfugiés kurdes de Turquie en Loire-Atlantique depuis les années 1970
Authors: Rondeau Coline 
Published: April 2018

Cet article analyse les parcours migratoires de
demandeurs d’asile kurdes partis de Turquie pour la France après le
coup d’état de 1980. Ces femmes et hommes kurdes se sont installés,
après plusieurs déplacements, en Loire-Atlantique, département
appartenant à un Ouest considéré comme une région de « faible
immigration ». Leurs parcours d’installation apparaissent
progressivement reliés à ceux de migrants économiques turcs et/ou
d’origine kurde arrivés dans la décennie 70. Dès lors, un
questionnement s’impose sur les liens existants entre les premières
générations de migrants et les réfugiés kurdes. L’exposé de ces deux
contextes migratoires permet une réflexion sur les stratégies
migratoires mises en œuvre par les Kurdes. Il s’agira de saisir, après
leur installation, les liens entre territoire et identité et de
comprendre comment ces Kurdes expriment ou dissimulent leur identité
en Loire-Atlantique.

O trabalho buscou compreender as dinâmicas de socialização e apoio materno à trajetória de militância política de sujeitos que se opuseram ao regime militar no Brasil (1964-1985). Para tanto, foram realizadas dezenove entrevistas semiestruturadas com familiares de militantes e com militantes opositores do regime. A partir da análise de conteúdo foram construídas duas categorias temáticas: 1) Formação moral-político-ideológica; e 2) Figura de apoio. As memórias pessoais e comuns dos entrevistados apresentaram a mãe como agente essencial para a formação político-moral-ideológica, e posteriormente, como principal figura de apoio às trajetórias de militância política. A influência materna repercutiu nas motivações e ações políticas da geração seguinte, fomentando novas possibilidades e ampliando os lugares de atuação feminina no cenário público. Dessa maneira, a investigação dessas experiências revelou facetas que colaboram para a compreensão das relações de gênero em suas conexões com a pauta política, impactando versões que compõem a memória histórica do período.
Enchérir ou négocier : quelle forme préférable de marché ?
Authors: Mignot Sylvain , Vignes Annick 
Published: April 2018

Sur certains marchés, les ventes peuvent se faire de gré à gré ou en enchères: c’est le cas du marché au poisson de Boulogne-sur-Mer sur lequel se fonde l’analyse empirique de cet article. Nous y montrons que, alors que les agents peuvent quotidiennement passer d’un mécanisme de vente à un autre, l’organisation du marché est stable au niveau agrégé, avec des quantités significatives s’échangeant chaque jour sur les deux sous-marché. Au niveau micro, nous mettons en évidence que les agents mobilisent des stratégies différentes, certains privilégiant un mécanisme de vente, d’autres en changeant régulièrement. Une certaine spécialisation apparaît : les produits les plus chers se vendent à des prix plus élevés de gré à gré, quand les poissons meilleur marché se vendent plus cher en enchères. Un modèle basé-agent permet de comprendre les conditions de stabilité de cette organisation. L’influence de l’hétérogénéité des biens sur le comportement des individus et le rôle des liens sociaux sont tour à tour analysés.

Synthesis of Human Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Contributes to Angiopoietin-Mediated In Vitro Proinflammatory and Proangiogenic Activities
Authors: Lavoie Simon S. , Dumas Elizabeth , Vulesevic Branka , Neagoe Paul-Eduard , White Michel , Sirois Martin G. 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are composed of nuclear DNA in a web-like structure extruded from neutrophils in response to either bacterial infection or inflammation. We previously reported the expression of angiopoietin Tie2 receptor on human neutrophils and the capacity of both angiopoietins (Ang1 and Ang2) to induce proinflammatory activities, such as synthesis and release of platelet-activating factor, upregulation of β2 integrin complex (CD11/CD18), and neutrophil chemotaxis. In contrast, only Ang1 but not Ang2 is capable of promoting translational and transcriptional activities in neutrophils. In this article, we addressed whether Ang1 and/or Ang2 could modulate the release of NETs and if they contribute to angiopoietin-mediated proinflammatory activities. We observed that Ang1 and Ang2, alone or combined (10 nM, 3 h), increase NET synthesis and release by ≈2.5-fold as compared with PBS-treated neutrophils. The release of NETs is Tie2 dependent and requires downstream intracellular participation of PI3K, p38, and p42/44 MAPK pathways; reactive oxygen species production; intracellular calcium store depletion; and protein arginine deiminase 4 activation. These isolated NETs induced neutrophil and endothelial cell activation, leading to neutrophil adhesion onto human extracellular matrix and HUVEC and in vitro formation of capillary-like tubes by endothelial cells. Our study reports the capacity of Ang1 and Ang2 to promote the release of NETs and that these NETs contribute to angiopoietin-mediated in vitro proinflammatory and proangiogenic activities.
Contribution of the Immune Response to Phage Therapy
Authors: Krut Oleg , Bekeredjian-Ding Isabelle 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Therapeutic phages are being employed for vaccination and treatment of cancer and bacterial infections. Their natural immunogenicity triggers intertwined interactions with innate and adaptive immune cells that might influence therapy. Phage- and bactierial-derived pathogen-associated molecular patterns released after bacterial lysis have been proposed to stimulate local innate immune responses, which could promote antitumor immunity or bacterial clearance. Conversely, immunogenicity of phages induces phage-specific humoral memory, which can hamper therapeutic success. This review outlines the current knowledge on the different types of immune responses elicited by phages and their potential benefits and adverse side effects, when applied therapeutically. This review further summarizes the knowledge gaps and defines the key immunological questions that need to be addressed regarding the clinical application of antibacterial phage therapy.
The TLR4 Agonist Monophosphoryl Lipid A Drives Broad Resistance to Infection via Dynamic Reprogramming of Macrophage Metabolism

Abstract
Monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) is a clinically used TLR4 agonist that has been found to drive nonspecific resistance to infection for up to 2 wk. However, the molecular mechanisms conferring protection are not well understood. In this study, we found that MPLA prompts resistance to infection, in part, by inducing a sustained and dynamic metabolic program in macrophages that supports improved pathogen clearance. Mice treated with MPLA had enhanced resistance to infection with Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans that was associated with augmented microbial clearance and organ protection. Tissue macrophages, which exhibited augmented phagocytosis and respiratory burst after MPLA treatment, were required for the beneficial effects of MPLA. Further analysis of the macrophage phenotype revealed that early TLR4-driven aerobic glycolysis was later coupled with mitochondrial biogenesis, enhanced malate shuttling, and increased mitochondrial ATP production. This metabolic program was initiated by overlapping and redundant contributions of MyD88- and TRIF-dependent signaling pathways as well as downstream mTOR activation. Blockade of mTOR signaling inhibited the development of the metabolic and functional macrophage phenotype and ablated MPLA-induced resistance to infection in vivo. Our findings reveal that MPLA drives macrophage metabolic reprogramming that evolves over a period of days to support a macrophage phenotype highly effective at mediating microbe clearance and that this results in nonspecific resistance to infection.
