Authenticating Features in the TEI by Sean M. Winslow

“…This paper will discuss issues in the modeling of authenticating features across time periods and regional boundaries, from the existing element to medieval European chirographs to Japanese jitsu-in. Here, I will make the case for the applicability of authenticating elements, introduce a preliminary working vocabulary of methods of authenticating elements, and demonstrate how they can be modeled in TEI.…”

Patrimoni e protocolli: i beni culturali immateriali tra valori globali e pratiche locali come terreno di conflitto e di mediazione by Letizia Bindi

“… Intangible cultural heritage increasingly becomes a conflict/mediation field among different issues and global/local hierarchies of value. Here the author outlines the first results of an ethnography in South-Central Italy about a group of ceremonials involving animals, recently questioned by animal rights movement associations for suspected mistreatment and its very recent legal solution. …”

Ontologies, Data Modeling, and TEI by Øyvind Eide

“…This paper discusses the relationships between TEI and ontologies from the perspective of computer-based modeling, understood here as a way to establish meaning. The distinctions between creation and use of models as well as between modeling for production and modeling for understanding are presented and compared with other categorizations or models of modeling. …”

Plaider la « bonne gouvernance sécuritaire » au Maroc : Domestiquer les savoirs de réforme en régime de contrainte consensuelle by Irene Lizzola

“…In this register, the consensus is built around the reciprocal obligation to validate a legalist and managerial reformist discourse, strongly internationalized and deconflictualizing the issues, which unites the parties, as well as the mutual acceptance of the logics which accompany partnership selectivity governing the participation of associative and transnational actors in the “co-production” of public action. Here, the different actors play with these constraint factors, from the moment when each party benefits from the participation in the partnership dynamic. …”

Development of a Novel Fluorescence Assay Based on the Use of the Thrombin-Binding Aptamer for the Detection of O6-Alkylguanine-DNA Alkyltransferase Activity by Maria Tintoré, Anna Aviñó, Federico M. Ruiz, Ramón Eritja, Carme Fàbrega

“…Human O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT) is a DNA repair protein that reverses the effects of alkylating agents by removing DNA adducts from the O6 position of guanine. Here, we developed a real-time fluorescence hAGT activity assay that is based on the detection of conformational changes of the thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA). …”

Established Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato infection disrupts immigration of leaf surface bacteria to the apoplast by Kimberly N. Cowles, Arjun S. Iyer, Iain McConnell, Ellie G. Guillemette, Dharshita Nellore, Sonia C. Zaacks, Jeri D. Barak

“…Typhimurium) immigrants to the leaf surface can both enter the apoplast and replicate due to conditions created by an established Xanthomonas hortorum pv. gardneri (Xhg) infection in tomato. Here, we have expanded our investigation of how infection changes the host by examining the effects of another water-soaking pathogen, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst), on immigrating bacteria. …”

Blood-based biomarkers in patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with immune checkpoint blockade by Yo-Ting Tsai, Jeffrey Schlom, Renee N. Donahue

“…In response, there has been a growing emphasis on the development of “liquid biopsy”‒ derived biomarkers, which offer a minimally invasive means to dynamically monitor the immune status of NSCLC patients either before and/or during the course of treatment. Here we review studies in which multiple blood-based biomarkers encompassing circulating soluble analytes, immune cell subsets, circulating tumor DNA, blood-based tumor mutational burden, and circulating tumor cells have shown promising associations with the clinical response of NSCLC patients to ICI therapy. …”
