Stem cell-based therapy for corals
The laboratory at Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel is concerned with immunology and focuses on transplantation immunology, mainly at the immune cell level. We focus on stem cell transplantation, specifically on the blood-forming stem cells, termed "bone marrow transplantation". Could medical approaches of stem cell-based therapy be a tool for corals' resilience to heat stress? Benyamin Rosental, Principal Investigator, Assistant Professor at the Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel answers the compelling question here.

After COP27: Whither climate leadership?
The twenty-seventh Conference of the Parties (COP27) – tasked, like every annual UNFCCC conference, to accelerate climate ambition and action – duly laboured under the current global crises. What and where next? 2022 has been a year of multi-dimensional crises as the Russian invasion of Ukraine fostered an energy crisis, deepened the food crisis and, intensified the water crisis and the ‘post-Covid' debt crisis. COP27 certainly felt the impact of these crises. Expectations of the conference were low. Indeed there was understandable worry from the environmental community that the oil and gas sector, heavily represented at Sharm El-Sheikh, would turn the climate conference into a ‘world gas trade fair' (pushing gas as the solution to the energy crisis). The dilemmas posed, for the developed countries, between short-term energy security and longer-term climate action and, for the developing countries, between development and climate action were not addressed head-on.

Global food security – Part 4; Enhancing a struggling food system
World Bank has characterized the livestock sector as a "pillar of the global food system and a contributor to poverty reduction, food security and agricultural development." (3) At the same time, World Bank also points out that improvements are needed in the livestock sector. In addition to increasing production efficiency, one area needing improvement is the reduction of the environmental impact of the livestock industry. Professor Curtis R Youngs, the M.E. Ensminger Endowed Chair of International Animal Agriculture at Iowa State University, analyses the flaws of the food system in his fourth part analysis of global food security.
Information overload and the ossification of immunological research

Information overload and the ossification of immunological research
Looking at how universities fund science and appoint faculty, as well as evaluating papers for publication – there comes an issue with the exploration and dissemination of the most innovative ideas and findings, argues Peter Bretscher, Faculty in the Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Saskatchewan. Addressing two foundational questions as to how immune responses are regulated and how answers may guide the prevention and treatment of clinical conditions associated with infectious diseases, autoimmunity, and cancer, Bretscher explores potential medical use in model systems for the prevention and treatment of disease, which still sit outside of mainstream immunology. In order to foster resilience in immunological research, he employs contemporary immunology as a case study, and proposes two parallel panels: a conventional one, and an alternative panel, also consisting of eminent researchers, but in neighbouring fields. The alternative panel would then fund more truly innovative proposals that challenge dominant frameworks, resulting in more impactful research.
Understanding Hydra Regeneration

Understanding Hydra Regeneration
Charisios Tsiairis from the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research explores Hydra Regeneration through genetic programs. Hydras inhabit pristine springs throughout the world and are shaped as hollow tubes constructed by two epithelial layers. These Hydras have a natural ability to regrow a whole organism from a small piece of tissue, and the animal is named after a mythical serpent monster that regrew two heads for every head chopped off. Hydra research can help identify genetic programs that may be present in our own cells, and help people to understand the mechanism of common diseases, such as multiple cancer. This link seems to be present in some of the earliest multicellular species, testifying to the importance of mechanical signals for the proper behaviour of cells.
Shrouded in genomic heterochromatin are ancient viral-like elements that could jump

Shrouded in genomic heterochromatin are ancient viral-like elements that could jump
The ‘dark genome' refers to the extensive amount of uncharacterized DNA within the human genome and contains strings of repetitive DNA sequences. Most of the dark genome is derived from transposable elements, which are ancient genome invaders, a minority of which can still replicate and jump to invade new genomic locations. Host defences operate to prevent these transposable elements or ‘ancient viruses' from ever jumping. Still, in cancers, cells lose multiple layers of ‘epigenetic' control and this can lead to the awakening of jumping or ‘retrotransposition' of ancient viruses. This jumping into our genes can disrupt their function and cause disease.

Exceptional moments of micro-strengths
Micro strengths: How can we understand and target exceptional moments in relationships, and how can they be drawn on within relationships as a basis for positive change? A micro strength can be thought of as a moment that stands out within an interaction. It is more than the obvious moments of a shared smile or hug. It may be a moment where you experience a sense of understanding with another person, for example, a shared moment of calm or intuitively knowing that the other person is sad.

Practising intellectual humility without compromising strongly held convictions
Here is the second part of the discussion of bridging the cultural divide in social discourse, Peter C. Hill at Biola University looks at intellectual humility with consideration to one's convictions. Surely many of us have found ourselves at some point in the delicate position of discussing a contentious social issue about which we have a clear and fervently held idea of what is correct with someone who is equally fervent in holding an opposite opinion. Such disagreements can carry with them the significant divisive potential that challenges, at a micro level, peaceful coexistence among friends or family members and, at the macro level, a profound social and political polarization within a democratic society. How can such a factional tendency be countered without compromising one's strongly held-convictions?

Allergic asthma and the legacy of structural racism on the African American urban communities
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that is characterized by bronchial hyperreactivity (wheezing due to narrowing of the airways) and it disproportionately affects African Americans. Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that is characterized by bronchial hyperreactivity and elevation of allergic antibodies. In the United States approximately 25 million people are affected by this disease with a death toll of about 3,500 per year. African American children are at least 10 times more likely to die from asthma than their white counterparts. Collectively, the mortality rate in the African American population is double the rate in Caucasians (21.8 vs 9.5 death rate per million). The 2005 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's report on the Disparity in Health Care among African Americans and Ethnic minority reported allergic asthma as the second largest disparity in the quality of health care for them versus Caucasians. Today, health disparity in asthma persists and several hypotheses for this disparity have been proposed.
Creating an environment that supports and protects breastfeeding

Creating an environment that supports and protects breastfeeding
Many mothers want to breastfeed, but the UK has some of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the world, which are still declining. As many mothers choose to stop breastfeeding in the early weeks, they aren't often ready to do so, and do not receive the support that they really need. Professor Amy Brown stresses the benefits of breastfeeding to tackle this problem for many mothers. In research and collaboration with governments, public health bodies, and infant feeding charities, promoting, protecting and supporting breastfeeding is at the forefront of baby campaigns. Key to these campaigns are getting people to understand breastfeeding and normal baby behaviour, highlighting the importance of breastfeeding for mental health, and calling for greater investment into supporting all types of infant feeding. Human milk is lifesaving for premature babies. When they cannot receive their own mother's breastmilk, specially heat-treated donor milk from other mothers who have been carefully screened can protect their health and development. Recent WHO recommendations are that donor milk should be available for all preterm babies where there is a shortfall of maternal milk.

Construction of aggregation-induced emission monolayer at the air/water interface
Kohei Iritani, Department of Applied Chemistry, School of Engineering, Tokyo University of Technology. Organic fluorescent materials using a molecule with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect have intense interest due to their potential utilities such as flexible display devices and photovoltaics. For the applications to two-dimensional devices, we purposed the construction of a monolayer formed by a tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivative as an AIE molecule at the air/water interface. To this end, we synthesized amphiphilic TPE derivatives. We found that the TPE derivative formed a thin film with blue- green emission on the water surface. Moreover, from AFM observations, we confirmed that the transferred film had monolayer thickness.
Reassessing our knowledge about mental health and LGBTQ+ practice

Reassessing our knowledge about mental health and LGBTQ+ practice
Here, Dr. Shanéa Thomas, a training Specialist and Assistant Clinical Professor, argues that trainers are the key to inclusivity regarding mental health and LGBTQ+ practice. Many of us may still be recovering from instability from the last three years, figuring out the new landscape of need amongst the populations we serve, especially within mental health. Moving into a new year means taking the constructive lessons from the previous year and reimagining how our practices and skills can make a different impact in the future. One way has been therapeutic practices finding ways to increase their reach of services. A 2020 study found that audio and video telehealth services have risen 80 percent over the pandemic in the United States (Karimi et al., 2022). Worldwide, the need continues, as the World Health Organization (WHO, 2022) states there has been a 25% increase in anxiety and depression. When looking specifically at LGBTQ+ people during the pandemic, "LGBTQ+ adults have been twice likely to experience mental health challenges compared to non- LGBTQ+ adults" (File & Marley, 2022). In working with these populations, the volume and specificity of service delivery require professionals to find innovative ways to accommodate the need and range of demographics, in person or online.

Exploring the partnership between the agricultural and social welfare sectors
Hiroyuki Tsunashima, a designated lecturer at Urban Resilience Research Center, Osaka Metropolitan University investigates the link between the agricultural and social welfare sectors. A movement toward a "partnership between agriculture and social welfare" seems to have recently gained ground in Japan. As proof of this, the competent ministries for the agricultural and social welfare sector have formed a new alliance to promote the movement, based on the idea that the shorthanded agricultural sector can offer job opportunities to the people excluded from the existing labor market.

Developmental research for social foster care and parental support
Japanese child welfare services serve over 42,000 children in social foster care. Almost 80% of these children receive these services at care facilities, and foster parent placement rates are comparatively lower than in other countries. The international community viewed this as a problem after Japan ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1994. The Convention establishes residential care as a less readily utilized option. Here Professor Keiji Noguhci at Fukuyama City University, in the Faculty of Education, presents a practical model for social foster care in Japan.

Published: January 2023

The article deals with the involvement of language teachers in high-stakes testing from different perspectives. The theoretical part discusses the problems of language teachers as testers in a broader context, in connection with the importance of language assessment literacy as a part of professional development. In addition, it reviews results of some studies focusing on teachers involved in testing. The main part of the article is devoted to the results of two surveys intended to gather and interpret the teachers’ opinions on a standardized language examination used in the framework of NATO, which were conducted among the language teachers of authors’ institution, as well as among the language teachers at military language institutions in several foreign countries. Furthermore, the main part presents the results of the questionnaire concerning the opinions and approaches of the teachers towards the item writing training which they received to be able to create test items. The objective of the presented study is to shed light on the teachers’ views concerning their participation in testing, since most literature published so far deals predominantly with the principles of language assessment literacy from theoretical viewpoint, not from the viewpoint of the teachers themselves.
