Defining Equity Criteria for Determining Fare Zones in Integrated Passenger Transport by Denis Šipuš, Borna Abramović, Martina Jakovčić

“…An analysis of existing fare systems reveals that current systems do not offer equitable access for passengers and that the transport service is not available to everyone. To resolve the issue of the transport disadvantage of potential passengers, society and space, fare system models must be changed to provide equity for disadvantaged participants of the system. …”

Nuclear Reprogramming in Mouse Primordial Germ Cells: Epigenetic Contribution by Massimo De Felici

“…The phenomenon appears to be reproduced under partly defined in vitro culture conditions, when PGCs are transformed into embryonic germ (EG) cells. In the present paper, I will try to summarize the contribution that epigenetic modifications give to nuclear reprogramming in mouse PGCs.…”

Medicine and the Law by S Abdool Karim

“…However, it is evident that, with SA’s limited healthcare budget, the NHI scheme is not going to cover everything for everyone. Some decisions will need to be made about what kinds of healthcare and other benefits South Africans can expect to have covered by the scheme – in other words, decisions about what will be included under NHI and what will be excluded. …”

Locative Inversion In Discourse: a strategy of non-commitment by Christine Copy, Lucie Gournay

“…Some examples of these properties are: LI’s incompatibility with negation or epistemic modalization, strong aspectual and temporal restrictions such as its incompatibility with BE+ING or generic interpretations.In the second part of this paper, we provide a discursive analyse of LI in two actual literary contexts: i) first, when it occurs at the beginning of folktales; there, its predicative use is compared to there-sentences, the latter, we argue, being typically speaker-based predications; ii) then, when it occurs in narrative’s descriptions (for instance in crime-scene description); there, LI appears in a context of internal focalization, with the make-belief effect of referring directly to the situation described as if it was perceptible by everyone.In both cases, it appears that LI occurs in contexts where the speaker is pragmatically determined. …”

Architecture of microtubule cytoskeleton in the hindgut cells of Porcellio scaber by Urban Bogataj, Polona Mrak, Jasna Štrus, Nada Žnidaršič

“…The distribution and orientation of microtubules were investigated in cells of distinct shapes from different hindgut regions of adult Porcellio scaber Latreille, 1804 and during hindgut morphogenesis in late embryonic and early postembryonic development. All hindgut cells of adult P. scaber contain abundant apico-basal microtubules organized in extensive bundles, but the architecture of bundles is specific for distinct cells. …”

Intelligent Buses in a Loop Service: Emergence of No-Boarding and Holding Strategies by Vee-Liem Saw, Luca Vismara, Lock Yue Chew

“…The no-boarding and holding strategies emerge from the actions of stay or leave when a bus is at a bus stop and everyone who wishes to alight has done so. A reward that encourages the buses to strive towards a staggered phase difference amongst them whilst picking up passengers allows the reinforcement learning process to converge to an optimal Q-table within a reasonable amount of simulation time. …”

Parthenogenesis and Human Assisted Reproduction by Adriana Bos-Mikich, Fabiana F. Bressan, Rafael R. Ruggeri, Yeda Watanabe, Flávio V. Meirelles

“…Parthenogenetic activation of human oocytes obtained from infertility treatments has gained new interest in recent years as an alternative approach to create embryos with no reproductive purpose for research in areas such as assisted reproduction technologies itself, somatic cell, and nuclear transfer experiments and for derivation of clinical grade pluripotent embryonic stem cells for regenerative medicine. Different activating methods have been tested on human and nonhuman oocytes, with varying degrees of success in terms of parthenote generation rates, embryo development stem cell derivation rates. …”
