The romance of Asian capitalism: Geography, desire and Chinese business*

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In their elegiac reproach of the discursive fantasy of the 'Asian Pacific region', Rob Wilson and Arif Dirlik write, '[i]f such a region did not exist, it would have to be invented by policy planners and social scientists along the East-West axis to figure forth an integrated source of boundless markets, wondrous raw materials, and ever-expanding investments'. Talking about the vast Asia-Pacific as a single fixed geographical entity, they warn, not only belittles the region's 'staggering complexity, discrepant hybridity, and nomadic flux', but also sidesteps the questions: 'Whose "Asia-Pacific" are we talking about, whose interests are being served?'1 Answers to these questions punctuate the complex entanglement of both the 'East' and 'West' in the making of the 'Asia-Pacific' discourse. The 'Asia-Pacific' is anything to anyone. For if the regionespecially fast-growing East Asia-is the West's new-found land of expanding markets and disciplined but still relatively cheap labour, and if the discourse about the region fuels Asia's imagining of its rise in the globalized world, then 'Asia-Pacific' is no longer a purely geographical entity. It is a global space in which nations and political leaders have invested their dreams and wishes. In these imaginings, 'Asia-Pacific' becomes an object which would rescue the West from its current economic woes, on the one hand; and affirm (East) Asian states' emerging political and cultural confidence in the world, on the other. The agendas unite for a moment 'East' and 'West' in a common discursive enterprise. And the enterprise takes place even in the midst of heated contestations over the issues of human rights, information flow, environmental priorities and the impending 'clash of civilizations' predicted by the apocalyptic vision of Samuel Huntington.2 What emerges is a reinventing of 'Asia', through an anxious rewriting of the texts about the place and its people. We see this in the remarkable East Asian discourse sponsored by Singapore and China which singles out the common Confucian heritage in the East Asian countries-China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Singapore-as the reason for theirspectacular economic performance.3 In the West, a seductively figured text like Joel Kotkin's Tribes: How Race, Religion and Identity Determine Success in the New Global Economy serves to assuage nostalgic regret for the loss of Calvinistic ideals which authorial fantasy miraculously rediscovers in the work ethics and commercial instincts of Asian-and other-'global tribes'.4

Results: The characteristics of public-private partnership models in conducting the vocational training of specialists for the contemporary needs of the labor market have been determined and substantiated. The participation of private companies in co-financing programs for the vocational training of specialists, the modernization of the material and technical base of vocational (vocational-technical) education institutions, and the creation of conditions for internships for students and teaching staff of vocational (vocational-technical) education institutions at high-tech workplaces have been analyzed. Conclusions: It has been found that the effectiveness of public-private partnerships in the vocational training of specialists is ensured through the implementation of models: joint financing of vocational (vocational-technical) education programs; internships for students of vocational (vocational-technical) education at partner enterprises; organization of dual form of vocational education; training of specialists on the order of enterprises. Among the characteristics of the application of public-private partnership models are: ensuring the quality of vocational training of specialists, reducing expenses from the state budget on the implementation of vocational (vocational-technical) education programs, increasing the level of employment in the profession of graduates, and strengthening the links between vocational (vocational-technical) education and private business. Recommendations have been formulated for activating public-private partnerships in the vocational training of specialists through organizing informational and educational work, improving the regulatory framework, ensuring funding for educational projects, coordinating efforts on the part of all interested partners, and enhancing transparency and accountability of their activities, in order to minimize the risks of corruption in the implementation of public-private partnership projects.
Abstract A241: Targeting FGFR4 for rhabdomyosarcoma therapy.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a soft tissue sarcoma in children. Despite advances in modern therapy, metastatic patients with this disease have a very poor clinical prognosis. FGFR4 is a tyrosine kinase receptor which plays a role in cell division, regulating cell growth and maturation. FGFR4 also involves in myogenesis and is a direct downstream target of PAX3-FOXO1A found in the majority of alveolar RMS subtype, and suggests its oncogenic role in RMS. Our and other's studies have shown that this gene is activated by amplification, over-expression and/or by mutation. Our previous data showed that activated FGFR4 promotes RMS tumor progression and inhibiting FGFR4 suppresses RMS tumor growth and metastasis. Ponatinib (Ariad, Cambridge, MA) is a multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitor that potently inhibits FGFR4 and is currently undergoing a pivotal phase 2 trial in adults with CML. Using a BaF3 TEL-FGFR4 model system, ponatinib was found to inhibit FGFR4 TK domain autophoshorylation and resulted in cell death. Five RMS cell lines that we have tested were all sensitive to ponatinib and the sensitivity was proportion to expression level of FGFR4. When treated with ponatinib, RMS cell line harboring the FGFR4 mutations K535 or E550, discovered by our group to be commonly mutated, were more sensitive to ponatinib compared to wild type as demonstrated by increase in active caspase 3/5 and in sub G1 population. Western blot confirmed that ponatinib inhibited autophosphorylation of FGFR4 K535 and E550 in a dose dependent manner. Furthermore, our pilot study also showed that the growth of subcutaneously injected RMS cells with the FGFR4 K535 mutants were suppressed after treating with ponatinib. Therefore our data suggest that ponatinib may be an effective therapy for patients with RMS and a clinical trial is warranted. Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].

Effects of Soluble Cluster of Differentiation 14 on Serum Levels of Pro-and Anti-inflammatory Cytokines in Mice with Serious Scald Endotoxemia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of soluble cluster differentiation 14 (sCD14) on serum pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines in mice with serious scald endotoxemia. METHODS: A total of 60 healthy Kunming mice were randomly assigned to sCD14 (5 mg·kg-1) group, treatment control group (normal saline) and normal control group (normal saline). The first two groups were established into scald model (scald of 30% body surface area, Ⅲ degree scald) followed by intravenous injection of the corresponding drugs in every 12 h via vena caudalis for 3 consecutive days. On day 4, the model mice were sacrificed to obtain the serum sample for the detection of levels of proinflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-6) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10). RESULTS: In sCD14 treatment group, serum levels of TNFα, IL-6 were significantly lower than in treatment control group (P0.01), but were still higher than in normal control group (P0.01). No significant differences were noted between sCD14 treatment group and the treatment control group in serum levels of IL-4 and IL-10. CONCLUSION: The anti-inflammatory action of sCD14 on mice with endotoxemia induced by serious scald might be achieved by down-regulating serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines.
Spacecraft Attitude Fractional Feedback Control Using Rotation Matrices and Exponential Coordinates

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Two fractional proportional–integral–derivative controllers are proposed for rigid spacecraft rotational dynamics. In the first strategy, the controller is developed on the tangent bundle of SO(3), which is the Lie group of rigid-body rotational motion, using states consisting of a rotation matrix and an angular velocity vector in the fractional-order derivative and integral feedback terms. In the second strategy, the exponential coordinates are used to design the controller. The fractional derivative and integral feedback terms have adjustable orders that can be used to tune the closed-loop response. The performances of the controllers are studied numerically for different values of the derivative and integral fractional orders in terms of control effort, steady-state response characteristics, and robustness to unmodeled disturbances; and the results are compared with those of an integer-order controller. It is shown that the inclusion of fractional orders in the controllers allows for a desired shape and spectrum of the controlled response to be obtained by tuning the fractional derivative and integral orders. For instance, the settling time and control effort may be simultaneously reduced, in contrast to the case of integer feedback control in which a tradeoff exists between these competing design specifications. The proposed fractional feedback attitude control strategies thus allow for a greater degree of flexibility over their integer-order analogs.
Thermoplasma volcanium'un ısı şoku yanıtı: moleküler şaperonin (termozom) genlerinin klonlanması ve değişimsel anlatımı

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Chaperonins (Hsp60 chaperones) comprise a class of oligomeric, high-molecular-weight chaperones that have the unique ability to fold some proteins that cannot be folded by simpler chaperone systems. The term “thermosome” is used for molecular chaperonins from Archaeal organisms since they accumulate to high levels upon heat-shock. In this study first time, we have cloned and sequenced two Hsp60 subunit genes (α and β) from a thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma volcanium. For cloning we have followed a PCR based strategy. Amplification of Hsp60 α gene from chromosomal DNA of T. volcanium yielded a product of 1939 bp amplicon and that of Hsp60 β gene yielded a product of 1921 bp amplicon. After ligation of the PCR fragments to pDrive vector, recombinant plasmids were transferred into E. coli TG-1 competent cells and recombinant colonies were selected by blue/white screening. The cloning of two subunit genes were confirmed by restriction mapping and by sequencing. Both subunit genes were then subcloned to pUC18 vector consequtively to construct a co-expression vector. Both subunit genes were expressed under control of their own promoters leading to production of active Hsp60 chaperonin (thermosome). Chaperone activity of the recombinant thermosome was shown by using pig citrate synthase enzyme as substrate. Thermosome induced refolding was observed when renaturation was carried out at 50°C for 2,5 h. Under this condition, citrate synthase activities associated with control and test were mA412/min:19.0 and mA412/min:24.0 respectively. Clustal W Version 1.82 was used for multiple sequence alignments of Hsp60 and Hsp60 proteins of T. volcanium and other Hsp60 proteins from various eukaryotes, bacteria and archaea. The highest sequence similarity was found between α subunit proteins of T. volcanium and T. acidophilum (94%) and β subunit proteins of T. volcanium and T. acidophilum (93%). Clusters of orthologous groups and conserved domain database searches revealed the phylogenetic relationships between Hsp60 and Hsp60 subunits of T. volcanium thermosome and other Hsp60 proteins from various eukaryotes, bacteria and archaea. Induction of both subunit genes under heat shock (65°C, 70°C and 75°C for 2h) and under oxidative stress (imposed by 0,008 mM, 0,01 mM, 0,02 mM, 0,03 mM and 0,05 mM H2O2) conditions was studied by Real-Time PCR technique and amplified cDNA band density analysis.
Evaluating Toxic Tort Cases

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The term "toxic tort" refers to any civil personal injury claim alleging an injury suffered as the result of exposure to an agent. These agents can be dusts, volatile organic solvents, or gases. Most exposures are occupational. Though somewhat less common, there are also claims related to environmental, home, and pharmaceutical exposures. Claimed injuries run the gamut from often-fatal cancers, non-malignant debilitating conditions, and fetal or fertility injury, to the need for future medical monitoring when no injury yet exists. Toxic tort cases require many of the same skills legal nurse consultants (LNCs) use in other cases. However, the LNC without previous experience in toxicology, occupational health and hygiene, or class actions may discover that these challenging cases come with a steep learning curve. Asking the right questions and using specialized resources to research unfamiliar legal and medical elements, such as those outlined in this chapter, will be fundamental to the LNC's success.
The Advance of Pentecostalism in China, 1907–1937

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter examines the many independent activities by tenacious Pentecostal missionaries that resulted in the formation of Chinese Pentecostal Churches. It reveals the individual, and often obscure, stories of western and Chinese Christians in the early twentieth century who were united in their commitment to evangelism. Pentecostal mission flourished in northern and inland China through a shared expectation of revival and, increasingly, a recognition of the necessity of organisational structures to sustain missionary activities.

The feasibility of R0 resection of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) encasing major visceral arteries (T4 lesions) using arterial resection and reconstruction: Short- and long-term outcomes.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

243 Background: LAPC is found in about 40% of patients with pancreatic cancer at initial presentation. Tumors involving major visceral arteries are commonly deemed unresectable. In this study we analyzed the feasibility of R0 resection of LAPC encasing major visceral arteries using arterial resection and reconstruction. Methods: The following data were collected prospectively following pancreatic resection with vascular reconstruction in patients with LAPC: age, gender, operative details, post-operative complications, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy and overall and disease free survival. Patient survival was calculated utilizing Kaplan-Meier survival probability estimates. Results: From Dec., 2002 to Sep., 2012, 12 patients with LAPC (8 males and 4 females, median age 58.5 yrs (range: 51–78 yrs)) underwent pancreatic resection with concomitant resection and reconstruction of major visceral arteries in our institution. The arterial involvement included celiac artery (n=8), and superior mesenteric artery (n=4). Resections included pancreatico-duodenectomy (n=8), distal pancreatectomy (n=3), and total pancreatectomy (n=1). Management of the arterial involvement included: resection of celiac axis without reconstruction (n=2), resection and reconstruction of one artery (n=6), two arteries (n=3) and three arteries (n=1). R0 resection was accomplished in 9, R1 in 2, and R2 in 1 patient. One patient (8%) died peri-operatively from pulmonary thromboembolism. Chemo- or chemo-radiation therapy was not protocolized. To date, 5 patients are alive and disease free at 7, 9, 11, 23 and 117 months, and 1 patient is alive with recurrence at 107 months. Six-month patient survival was 75% and median overall survival (MOS) was 19 months. Conclusions: The MOS in this patient population with systemic therapy is around 9 months. Although the sample size in our study is limited, observed MOS of 19 months is encouraging and provides the opportunity to reconsider the contraindications to surgical management of such patients with T4 LAPC. Timing of perioperative chemotherapy will be evaluated in a prospective trial.

The duplication time of the cell line was 3.3 d at a plating density of 2.0(105 cells/ml. It is proved that the cultures in Medium 199 supplied with 15% FBS showed the best result.
Parallel Lipoplex Folding Pathways Revealed Using Magnetic Tweezers

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Lipid-coated DNA nanoparticles (lipoplexes) are a powerful gene delivery tool with promising therapeutic applications. The mechanism of lipoplex assembly remains poorly understood. We explored DNA packing by a cationic lipid DSTAP (distearoyl trimethylammonium-propane) using magnetic tweezers. DSTAP-induced DNA condensation occurred as a series of bursts with the mean step size of 60-80 nm. The pause time preceding the steps could be approximated as a bimodal distribution, which reveals at least two distinct condensation pathways. The rapidly condensed DNA was more resilient to force-induced decondensation. The proportion of the stable, fast-formed complexes decreased at high salt concentrations. A similar trend was observed in bulk experiments. Lipoplexes assembled at low salt concentration more efficiently shielded DNA from fluorescent dyes and DNase even after transfer to the high salt conditions. These data reveal that lipoplex folding occurs via two parallel pathways even at the single molecule level. The progress through the two pathways can be monitored in real time using single DNA manipulations. The relative efficiency of the two pathways can be varied by external conditions.
The Form-Pleasure

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This section discusses pleasure by drawing on Sigmund Freud’s work on the subject of aesthetic form, particularly his notion of sexual pleasure as opposed to aesthetic pleasure. Freud views aesthetics as a matter of pleasure. Sensuality takes pleasure in tension and gives itself what Jacques Lacan calls “pleasure desiring” in commenting on Freud. It is impossible for Freud to consider aesthetic form or art as legitimate in their own right. The pleasure of form—in a certain manner doubly diminished by Freud as the pleasure of tension—is what he actually considers aesthetic pleasure. Also included in this section is a “Sketchbook” of quotations on art from André Breton, Plotinus, René Magritte, Paul Gauguin, Wassily Kandinsky, and Georges Bataille.
Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, 1990/1991-1994/1995

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program data were collected as part of annual evaluations of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program. That program began in the fall of 1990 and continues as these data are being released. The program was designed to provide opportunities for poor students in Milwaukee Public Schools. In lieu of tuition, the State of Wisconsin paid the private schools what the Milwaukee Public Schools would have received in state aid for each student. The program is the first in the United States to provide major subsidies to private schools as part of a general voucher program.
Astaxanthin profiles and corresponding colour properties in Australian farmed black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) during frozen storage

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The colour of commercial cooked black tiger prawns (Penaeus monodon) is a key quality requirement to ensure product is not rejected in wholesale markets. The colour, due to the carotenoid astaxanthin, can be impacted by frozen storage, but changes in colour or astaxanthin profile, during frozen storage, have not been studied in detail. Subsequently in this study, the aims were to define the astaxanthin (as cis, trans, mono-ester and di-ester forms) content, together with the colour properties, in both pleopods (legs) and abdominal segments. Changes in astaxanthin content and colour properties were further determined during frozen storage (−20°C). Total astaxanthin content was seen to decrease in all samples over time, with the rate of degradation being significantly greater (P < 0.05) in pleopods than abdomen. In both pleopods and abdomen, rate of degradation of esterified forms was significantly greater (P < 0.05) than non-esterified forms. Hue angle (increase), a* value (decrease) and L value (increase) were all seen to significantly change (P < 0.05) during storage, with changes being more prevalent in the pleopods. The pleopods are the key indicator of astaxanthin and colour loss in cooked black tiger prawns and preservation strategies are required to preserve astaxanthin and colour during frozen storage.
