From a Floating World: Emigration to Europe from Post-War Vietnam

This article aims to explain the origins and formation of Europe's Vietnamese communities. It argues that emigration from post-war Vietnam (1975–1995) was a result of the dismantling of two models of Vietnamese society — the southern regime and the structures of socialism. However, the migration routes owe much to Vietnam's international relations in the Cold War. Isolation by western countries led to the formation of a Vietnamese community in Western Europe, consisting of refugees. At the same time, ties with the Soviet Union led to the formation of a community in Eastern Europe, consisting of guest workers. Two case studies present contrasting approaches to integration, and suggest possible alternate futures for Vietnamese communities in Europe.

Scavenger Receptors: Different Classes and their Role in the Uptake of Oxidized Low-Density Lipoproteins

Oxidation of lipoproteins marks a fundamental early phase in atherosclerosis development, a condition distinguished by plaque build-up in the arteries. It is widely accepted that the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) plays a pivotal role in atherosclerosis progression. Oxidized LDL (Ox-LDL) exhibits numerous atherogenic characteristics, leading to endothelial dysfunction, the creation of foam cells, and inflammation in the arterial wall. The crucial interaction between Ox-LDL and specific receptors on endothelial cells is key to initiating these processes. In this article, we're going to delve into the various LDL receptors that play a crucial part in the uptake and metabolism of LDL, emphasizing their significance in the development of atherosclerosis. The Cochrane database, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Ovid, and other databases were thoroughly searched for works addressing scavenger receptors to explore how both native LDL (nLDL) and Ox-LDL engage with these receptors, facilitating the formation and progression of atherosclerotic plaques. We'll then proceed to a more detailed examination of the complex role scavenger receptors play in the uptake and internalization of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (Ox-LDL), and their vital role in the onset of diseases. The review will further cover the identification, categorization, and roles of scavenger receptors, along with their molecular mechanisms. Grasping the complexity of these receptor-ligand interactions is critical for the creation of focused treatments to fight against pathologic conditions such as atherosclerosis and its related health scenarios.

In vitro addition of docosahexaenoic acid improves the quality of cooled but not frozen–thawed stallion semen

The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of the addition of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the in vitro quality of cooled and frozen–thawed stallion semen. In Experiment 1, semen from 10 stallions was collected (three ejaculates per stallion). Semen was diluted to 100 × 106 spermatozoa mL–1 with 0.02 mM vitamin E (VE) and 0, 1, 10 or 20 ng mL–1 DHA and frozen. Semen was thawed and total motility (TM), rapid progressive motility (PM), acrosome integrity, membrane fluidity and morphology were assessed. In Experiment 2, semen from three stallions was collected (three ejaculates per stallion) and frozen as in Experiment 1, but VE and DHA were added after thawing. TM and PM were assessed at 30, 60 and 120 min and viability, acrosome integrity and membrane fluidity were evaluated at 30 min. In Experiment 3, semen from five stallions was collected (one to three ejaculates per stallion), diluted to 20 × 106 spermatozoa mL–1 and stored at 4°C. After 1, 24, 48 and 72 h, TM, PM, viability, membrane fluidity and lipid peroxidation were assessed. The addition of DHA had no effect on frozen semen (Experiments 1 and 2) but improved TM, PM and membrane fluidity in cooled stallion semen.

Symbolic boundaries, imagined hierarchies: a case study of women from post-socialist countries working as domestic workers in Istanbul

This study analyzes the different layers of the ''boundary work'' within Turkish private households employing migrant domestic workers originating from the Former Soviet Union countries. I suggest that in the specific encounter of these two categories, Turkish employers and female domestic workers from the Formet Soviet Union countries, symbolic boundaries are more determinative of employer/ employee relations in comparison to physical boundaries. The relative modesty of migrant domestic workers' wages entails a 'democratization' of the possibility of hiring migrant domestic workers. Hence, in many of these middle-class households, physical boundaries are either insufficient or inexistant. In addition, in some of the cases, we witness a contradictory class mobility. The situation is rendered even more complicated due to the incommensurability of cultural capitals acquired in different settings. Based on in-depth interviews with ten employers, and fourteen migrant domestic workers, this paper signals the emergence of a more interactive and dynamic employer/employee relationship in contemporary times. The possibility of transformation is due to the flexible nature of the new category of boundaries, i.e. symbolic boundaries. Depending on the quality/quantity of the interaction between the inside and the outside, the roles of both parties are constantly redistributed within the private households. In this sense, the substition of physical boundaries by symbolic boundaries can be interpreted both as a source of tension and a source of hope.

Heterozygous CELF4 variants in the N-term region crucial for the RNA-binding activity, leads to neurodevelopmental disorder and obesity.

<title>Abstract</title> RNA-binding proteins play a key role in post-transcriptional events, such as mRNA splicing, transport, stability, translation and decay. Dysregulation of RNA life can have dramatic consequences. CELF RNA-binding proteins appear to be essential during embryo development. In this study, we identified fifteen patients with heterozygous missense or loss-of-function variants in the <italic>CELF4</italic> gene by exome or genome sequencing. All variants affecting the N-terminus of the protein are essential and sufficient for the RNA-binding and splicing activity or RRM domains. Most patients presented with neurodevelopmental disorders including global developmental delay/intellectual disability (11/14), seizures (9/15), and overweight/obesity (10/14) that began in childhood. Clinical features are similar to the reported celf4-mouse mutant phenotype. This study highlights the essential role of <italic>CELF4</italic> in development and its involvement as a novel etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders with obesity.

Cooperative Search and Exploration in Robotic Networks

Great potentials of robotic networks have been found in numerous applications such as environmental monitoring, battlefield surveillance, target search and rescue, oil and gas exploration, etc. A networked multi-robot system allows cooperative actions among robots and can achieve much beyond the summed capabilities of each individual robot. However, it also poses new research and technical challenges including novel methods for multi-agent data fusion, topology control and cooperative path planning, etc. In this paper, we review recent developments in cooperative control of robotic networks with focus on search and exploration. We shall first present a general formulation of the search and exploration problem, and then divide the overall search strategy into different modules based on their functions. Methods and algorithms are illustrated and compared following the classification of the modules. Moreover, a 3D simulator developed in our laboratory is introduced and its application is demonstrated by experiments. Finally, challenges and future research in this area are provided.

On C*-algebras of singular integral operators with PQC coefficients and shifts with fixed points

A Fredholm representation on a Hilbert space, whose kernel coincides with the ideal of compact operators, is constructed for the C∗-algebra B generated by all multiplication operators by piecewise quasicontinuous (PQC) functions, by the Cauchy singular integral operator ST and by the unitary weighted shift operators Ug:φ↦|g′|1/2(φ∘g), g∈G, acting on the space L2(T) over the unit circle T⊂C. Here G denotes a discrete amenable group of orientation-preserving piecewise smooth homeomorphisms g:T→T with finite sets of discontinuities for their derivatives g′, which acts topologically freely on T∖Λ∘, where Λ∘ is the interior of the nonempty closed set Λ⊂T composed by all common fixed points for all shifts g∈G, with boundary ∂Λ of zero Lebesgue measure. A Fredholm symbol calculus for the C∗-algebra B is constructed and a Fredholm criterion for the operators B∈B is established.

How Processing Resources Shape the Influence of Stealing Thunder on Mock-Juror Verdicts

Stealing thunder is a dissuasive tactic that involves volunteering self-incriminating information before another party does. This study investigated how the impact of stealing thunder on mock-juror judgments varied with the processing resources available to mock-jurors. Stealing thunder, thunder and no thunder conditions were contrasted under conditions that were conducive to central route processing (high elaboration) or only permitted peripheral processing (low elaboration). Results indicated that stealing thunder reduced the likelihood of guilty verdicts under peripheral, but not central route, processing conditions. Further, it appeared to do so by eliciting positive perceptions of source credibility that were then used as a peripheral cue supporting the arguments of the source.

Beyond hegemony, world order as domination: Iran’s Green Movement and the nuclear sanctions regimes

Contributing to neo-Gramscian IR and debates regarding world order, this article puts forward Gramsci’s domination as a framework for better understanding the dynamics of a so-called ‘western liberal order’. It shows how Gramsci can be used to explore the power relations of world order that moves beyond Eurocentrism by highlighting the agency of the ‘non-West’ or ‘Global South’. In so doing, it illustrates the contradictions of a liberal world order. To make its case, it examines the relationship between Iran’s Green Movement, and the EU, US and UN sanctions regimes imposed on Iran in response to its nuclear programme. It is argued that domination, rather than hegemony, allows for a better understanding of the power relations in this case.

[Investigations for assessing some features suggestive of gastric cancer].

Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels as well as the presence of anti-Helicobacter pylori antibodies were determined by laboratory tests. Barium sulfate X-ray examination was performed in 52% of our patients; endoscopy concurrent with the histo-pathological examination of gastric biopsy samples showed that most tumors were of vegetative and ulcerative type, being prevalently located in the antropyloric area and lesser gastric curvature. Computer tomography proved to be the method of choice for tumor dissemination and staging. The late diagnosis of gastric cancer, with aggressive forms and poor prognosis, suggests the need of preventive population screening programs.

Resurgent Powers and the Failure of Conceptual Analysis

Jennifer McKitrick examines the causes moving many philosophers to pull Aristotelian powers out of history’s dustbin, the failure to reduce or eliminate dispositional ascriptions from philosophical and scientific discourses. Although many see this failure as grounds for rejecting Humeanism and return to Aristotelianism, McKitrick argues that only a more moderate reaction is warranted. She argues that restricting analysis to fundamental dispositions and adding a condition requiring the power ascription be grounded in or made true by the fact that the object possesses that fundamental disposition is the better reaction. McKitrick canvasses the main twentieth-century attempts to reduce or eliminate dispositional talk. She begins with the logical positivists’ attempt to replace dispositional talk with material conditionals. Then, after briefly considering Ryle’s version, she turns to Goodman and the move to replace material conditional analyses with stronger-than-material conditionals, such as causal implication or counterfactual conditionals backed up by natural kinds and laws of nature. Next, she turns to Lewis’s possible worlds semantics and concludes with a presentation of the ‘Simple Counterfactual Analysis’. Despite these problems with providing analyses of dispositional ascriptions in terms of counterfactuals, McKitrick recognizes that there is still an important connection between dispositions and counterfactuals. A thing’s disposition is its property of having a certain kind of counterfactual hold of it. But she advocates restricting counterfactual analyses to fundamental dispositions and powers and requiring that they be made true, or grounded by, the fact that the object has that power.

Should institutional investors use their considerable market power to influence the human resources practices of companies

There has been considerable speculation recently regarding the effect of the growing prevalence of institutional investors in the equity markets on investee company behaviour. Institutional investors include superannuation funds, banks, mutual funds and insurance companies. It has been posited that the growth of institutional investors may lead to the pursuit of what is generally referred to in the human resource literature as ‘high commitment’ employment practices in investee companies.1 This may be because institutional investors are using ‘voice’ mechanisms to pressure investee companies to adopt ‘high commitment’ human resource practices. For the purposes of our study it is sufficient to note that these labour management practices typically involve managerial attempts to motivate and manage workers through a series of workplace practices that incorporate the interests of employees rather than through strict command and control structures.2 These might include investment in staff training and development, employment security, flexible workplace practices and self-directed work teams, investment in occupational health and safety, equitable remuneration, incentive pay, and ‘partnerships’ and consultation with employees and/or their representatives. In formal labour relations terms, it might also include respect for freedom of association, the right to bargain collectively and other core labour standards. The purpose of this study is to discover whether it is the intention of institutional investors to encourage investee companies to adopt ‘high commitment’ employment practices through case studies of twelve prominent institutional investors with funds invested in the Australian equities market and the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (an industry body representing 39 superannuation funds).

THE IMPACT OF MARKETING STRATEGY ON COMPANY EFFICIENCY AND PROFITABILITY

Properly selected strategic benchmarks and target indicators of development, as well as the corresponding marketing strategy of the company will successfully affect its financial standing and profit. PIMS model (Profit Impact on Marketing Strategy) is a prototype of target analysis of company factors. The article describes the development of PIMS model, which includes indentifying factors affecting growth (or stabilization) of profit and related to marketing activity. The classic PIMS model embraces analysis of qualitative and quantitative information about the growth in company market share which can influence the indicators of investment efficiency. The author's research shows that traditional marketing mix that is taken into account PIMS methodology could and should be extended at the expense of factors describing customer loyalty.

Mercy and Authority in the Tudor State

Using a wide range of legal, administrative and literary sources, this study explores the role of the royal pardon in the exercise and experience of authority in Tudor England. It examines such abstract intangibles as power, legitimacy, and the state by looking at concrete life-and-death decisions of the Tudor monarchs. Drawing upon the historiographies of law and society, political culture and state formation, mercy is used as a lens through which to examine the nature and limits of participation in the early modern polity. Contemporaries deemed mercy as both a prerogative and duty of the ruler. Public expectations of mercy imposed restraints on the sovereign's exercise of power. Yet the discretionary uses of punishment and mercy worked in tandem to mediate social relations of power in ways that most often favoured the growth of the state.

[Carcinoma of the hilar bile duct: a clinical and pathological study].

From 1986 through 1990, 50 patients suffering from hilar bile duct carcinoma underwent exploration with the resection of the tumor in 31 (62%), and hepatic lobectomy in 16 (51.6%). There was no operative mortality. Resection of the recurrent tumor was successfully performed in 5 cases, among them 4 were still alive upon 1-4 year follow-up. The median survival period was 15 months for the resection group and late deaths were frequently caused by local recurrence. Pathological study based on 27 surgically resected specimens and 5 autopsies classified the tumors into 4 types: (1)papillary adenocarcinoma (6 cases), (2)well differentiated adenocarcinoma (21 cases), (3) poorly differentiated carcinoma (3 cases), and (4) carcinoma simplex (2 cases). The authors discussed the biological behaviour of such tumors, and stressed the need of early diagnosis of hilar bile duct carcinoma at its subclinical stage.

From past to present to future: Terlipressin and hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury

Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a rare and highly morbid form of kidney injury unique to patients with decompensated cirrhosis. HRS is a physiologic consequence of portal hypertension, leading to a functional kidney injury that can be reversed by restoring effective circulating volume and renal perfusion. While liver transplantation is the only definitive “cure” for HRS, medical management with vasoconstrictors and i.v. albumin is a cornerstone of supportive care. Terlipressin, a V1a receptor agonist that acts on the splanchnic circulation, has been used for many years outside the United States for the treatment of HRS. However, its recent Food and Drug Administration approval has generated new interest in this population, as a new base of prescribers now work to incorporate the drug into clinical practice. In this article, we review HRS pathophysiology and diagnostic criteria, the clinical use of terlipressin and alternative therapies, and identify areas of future research in the space of HRS and kidney injury in cirrhosis.
