Current issues of regulating on recording of the employee’s labor activities by O. V. Chornous

“…Within this period, it is possible to use both versions of the existing or entered information about the employee’s work history from the state register. We believe that the purpose of introducing a digital analog of a paper employment record book was to improve the recording of Ukrainians’ labor activity, reduce paperwork and the associated risks of loss or damage to documents. …”

The Spreading of Information in Online Social Networks through Cellular Automata by Yuda Wang, Gang Li

“…Lastly, the demise of information is affected by both time and heat decay rather than probability. We believe that these findings are in the right direction for perceiving information spreading in online social networks and useful for public management policymakers seeking to design efficient programs.…”

Quantum and thermal noise in coupled non-Hermitian waveguide systems with different models of gain and loss by Hernández Osmery, Liberal Iñigo

“…At the same time, we identify some universal properties such as the occurrence of phase-transition points in parameter space and intriguing phenomena related to them, including coalescence of pairs of eigenvectors, gain–loss compensation, and linear scaling of the noise with the length of the waveguide. We believe that these results contribute to a better understanding of the impact of the gain/loss mechanism on the noise generated in NH systems.…”

Le refus du monde tel qu’il est : vertus et ambivalences de quelques fictions contemporaines (Peyrebonne, Haenel, Vasset) by Pascal Mougin

“…Can these fictions, finally, contribute back to the critical business and dissident practices? Should we believe, with Yves Citton, "in the unpredictable power of the infinitesimal" or on the contrary, with Fredric Jameson, that "the artistic production brandished as utopian model of an alternative social life is itself a closed book" within a globalized economic and cultural system? …”

Laboratory-based x-ray phase contrast microscopy system for targeting in unstained soft-tissue samples by Michela Esposito, Nicole Schieber, Alessandro Olivo, Yannick Schwab, Marco Endrizzi

“…Its potential for soft-tissue microscopy is demonstrated on two biological specimens and benchmarked against gold-standard synchrotron data. We believe that the approach proposed here can be valuable as a bridging imaging modality for intravital correlative light and electron microscopy and be applied across disciplines where the three-dimensional morphology of pristine-condition soft tissues is a key element of the investigation.…”

Un lugar de la filosofía española de cuyo nombre no queremos acordarnos by María J. Ortega Máñez

“…Our interest is here focusing on this thought by layers or of the mise en abyme. We believe it brings a sui generis kind of philosophical interlocution, extremely fruitful, to which we refer in this work as vital dialogism.…”

Fluorescently Labeled Adenovirus with pIX-EGFP for Vector Detection by Long P. Le, Maaike Everts, Igor P. Dmitriev, Julia G. Davydova, Masato Yamamoto, David T. Curiel

“…The fluorescent label was associated with the virus capsid and conferred a fluorescent property useful in detecting adenoviral particles in flow cytometry, tracking, and tissue sections. We believe our genetic adenovirus labeling system has important implications for vector development, detecting adenovirus vectors in targeting schemes, and studying adenovirus biology. …”

Production of Platinum Atom Nanoclusters at One End of Helical Plant Viruses by Yuri Drygin, Olga Kondakova, Joseph Atabekov

“…By contrast, the Pt-NPs fully filled the central axial hole of in vitro assembled RNA-free TMV-like particles. We believe that the results presented here will be valuable in the fundamental understanding of interaction of viral platforms with ionic metals and in a mechanism of nanoparticles formation.…”

A Case of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Possible “Disease Flare” on Nivolumab Treatment by Shotaro Chubachi, Hiroyuki Yasuda, Hidehiro Irie, Koichi Fukunaga, Katsuhiko Naoki, Kenzo Soejima, Tomoko Betsuyaku

“…Six weeks later, after 3 cycles of nivolumab treatment, rapid lung cancer progression was observed with an increase in the size of the primary lesion, multiple novel nodules on both lungs, and multiple novel brain metastases. Conclusion. We believe that physicians should be made aware that, in a subset of NSCLC patients, disease flare might occur on nivolumab treatment.…”

Associations of cachexia and frailty with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by Tracy L. Peters, Weihong Qiu, Haomin Yang, Wuqing Huang, Yizhen Hu, Zhangyu Zou, Weimin Ye

“…Among individuals with frailty status: a grip strength of < 21 kg, a slow walking speed, and exhaustion (more than half the days or nearly every day) increase the risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We believe that studying cachexia and frailty status can be used to help define and treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.…”
