Integration of social work into specialist palliative home service by Janice Lee Wartchow, Stefan Bär, Bernd Alt-Epping, Christina Gerlach

“…Their perception of the SW profession determines the extent and manner of its integration into daily practices. Attributions on SW in SAPV as determined by nurses and physicians were social-medical knowledge, counselling, being a core competence in SAPV and similarities to the profession of psychologists. …”

Sleep drive is coupled to tissue damage via shedding of Caenorhabditis elegans EGFR ligand SISS-1 by Andrew J. Hill, Bryan Robinson, Jesse G. Jones, Paul W. Sternberg, Cheryl Van Buskirk

“…We show that SISS-1 overexpression induces sleep in an EGFR-dependent, sleep neuron-dependent manner. We find that SISS-1 undergoes stress-responsive shedding by the ADM-4/ADAM17 metalloprotease, and that the ADM-4 site of action depends on the tissue specificity of the stressor. …”

L’urbanité de l’héritage industriel by Zeila Tesoriere, Renzo Lecardane

“…From Chicago to Philadelphia, and not forgetting Rotterdam, many cities now envisage the rehabilitation of vast urban sectors in the same way, by converting their railway viaducts in the manner of the High Line. The importance of this operation allows us to consider deindustrialisation as a process capable of engendering a change in the urban territory through an approach at different scales and crossing over existing boarders.…”

‘Over-hopefulness and getting-on-ness’: Ruskin, Nature, and America by Sara Atwood

“…Ruskin’s understanding of the natural world was connected by ‘all manner of strange intellectual chords and nerves with the pathos and history of this old English country of ours; and on the other side, with the history of the European mind from earliest mythology down to modern rationalism and ir-rationalism’ (36.533). …”

Pharmacological Inhibition of p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases Affects KC/CXCL1-Induced Intraluminal Crawling, Transendothelial Migration, and Chemotaxis of Neutrophils In Viv... by Najia Xu, Mokarram Hossain, Lixin Liu

“…After adhesion in the lumen, many leukocytes crawl to optimal sites at endothelial junctions and transmigrate to extravascular tissue in a Mac-1-dependent manner. The signalling mechanisms that regulate postadhesion steps of intraluminal crawling, transmigration, and chemotaxis in tissue remain incompletely understood. …”

The impact of digital transformational leadership on digital intensity among primary healthcare entities: a moderated mediation model by Magdalena Kludacz-Alessandri, Liliana Hawrysz, Katarzyna Żak, Wei Zhang

“…Abstract Background Uncertain times require healthcare entities to demonstrate strong leadership, develop digitalisation, and respond to change in a creative and flexible manner. Based on emerging new institutional theory, we developed and tested a model of how digital transformational leadership (DTL) affects digital intensity (DI) among healthcare entities through the mediating role of organisational agility (OA). …”

Task Allocation in Distributed Software Development: A Systematic Literature Review by Marum Simão Filho, Plácido R. Pinheiro, Adriano B. Albuquerque, Joel J. P. C. Rodrigues

“…Assigning a task to an individual or team can be done in a rigorous manner, taking into account a number of factors. In this scenario, the more data on factors that influence task assignment are available to support the assignment decision, the more likely the project will succeed. …”

Hierarchical Spatial Clustering in Multihop Wireless Sensor Networks by Zhidan Liu, Wei Xing, Yongchao Wang, Dongming Lu

“…The resource-limited sensor nodes usually transmit the sensing readings to Sink node collaboratively in a multihop manner to conserve energy. In this paper, we consider the problem of spatial clustering for approximate data collection that is feasible and energy-efficient for environment monitoring applications. …”

Antihyperlipidemic Potential of Polyphenol and Glycoside Rich Nerium oleander Flower against Triton WR-1339-Induced Hyperlipidemia in Experimental Sprague Dawley Rats by V. Gayathri, S. Ananthi, Hannah R. Vasanthi

“…ENO pretreatment showed a significant ameliorative action on elevated lipids and lipoproteins in a dose-dependent manner when compared to standard. Altogether, the results prove that Nerium oleander flowers are not toxic at the tested doses and exhibit antilipimic activity.…”

TNF-α Promotes IFN-γ-Induced CD40 Expression and Antigen Process in Myb-Transformed Hematological Cells by Wenyi Gu, Jiezhong Chen, Lei Yang, Kong-Nan Zhao

“…We observed that both interleukin-4 and interferon-γ increased CD40 expression in these hematological cells in a dose-dependent manner, although the concentration required for interleukin-4 was significantly higher than that for interferon-γ. …”

Expression and Secretion of CXCL-8 and CXCL-10 From <emph>Mycobacterium Bovis</emph> BCG-Infected Human Epithelial Cells: Role of IL-4

“…In addition, IL-4 decreased CXCL-8 (in a graded and significant manner) but not CXCL-10 secretion. These results were further confirmed, since a significant reversion was obtained with a neutralizing antibody to human IL-4, whereas an isotype-matched control antibody had no significant effect on CXCL-8 secretion. …”

Walking coral: Complex phototactic mobility in the free-living coral Cycloseris cyclolites. by Brett M Lewis, David J Suggett, Peter J Prentis, Luke D Nothdurft

“…High-resolution time-laps captured the biomechanics of forward motion that appeared driven by three key factors: tissue inflation, which increased contact surface area for lift and friction; the ventral foot/pads, adjusting substrate interaction/friction; and the contraction and twisting of lateral peripheral tissues, which propelled the coral forward in a coordinated manner resembling the pulsed swimming motion of jellyfish. …”

Equilibrium expectations for non-Gaussian fluctuations near a QCD critical point by Karthein Jamie M., Pradeep Maneesha, Rajagopal Krishna, Stephanov Mikhail, Yin Yi

“…Furthermore, the correlation length, as a central quantity for the assessment of fluctuations in the vicinity of a critical point, is also calculated in a consistent manner with the scaling equation of state. An understanding of the equilibrium estimates of proton factorial cumulants will be useful for further comparison to estimates of out-of-equilibrium fluctuations in order to determine the magnitude of the observable fluctuations to be expected in heavyion collision experiments, in which the time spent near a critical point is short.…”

Functional anatomy of zinc finger antiviral protein complexes by Jennifer A. Bohn, Jennifer L. Meagher, Matthew A. Takata, Daniel Gonçalves-Carneiro, Zoe C. Yeoh, Melanie D. Ohi, Janet L. Smith, Paul D. Bieniasz

“…We show that KHNYN is an active nuclease that acts in a partly redundant manner with its homolog N4BP1. The ZAP N-terminal RNA binding domain constitutes a minimal core that is essential for antiviral complex activity, and we present a crystal structure of this domain that reveals contacts with the functionally required KHNYN C-terminal domain. …”
