Deciphering the mechanisms of long non-coding RNAs in ferroptosis: insights into its clinical significance in cancer progression and immunology by Shengming Ou, Xiaoya Nie, Xiangyu Qiu, Xin Jin, Geyan Wu, Rongxin Zhang, Jinrong Zhu

“…Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are a group of functional RNA molecules that are not translated into proteins, which can regulate gene expression in various manners. An increasing number of studies have shown that lncRNAs can interfere with the progression of ferroptosis by modulating ferroptosis-related genes directly or indirectly. …”

STUDENT FILM FESTIVAL AND OTHER INNOVATIVE MEANS OF LEGAL TRAINING AND EDUCATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE by Yuriy P. Garmaev, Lidia P. Chumakova

“…The festival organizersare going to hold it every year and offer to consider the project as an innovative teaching tool for law students, as well as an effective form of legal education and legal training for the general population - according to the fundamentals of the state policy in the sphere of legal literacy and legal awareness of citizens of the Russian Federation.The authors formulate here a proposal for the further development of legal science in the paradigm of creating multimedia diversified applicative solutions: training films, short manuals and booklets, manuals and programs outlined in an accessible, concise manner. This will make an important step towards the convergence of legal science and practice, the modernization of legal sciences, and most importantly - to improve the effectiveness of law enforcement, to an increase in legal culture and consciousness of the population.…”

Fast Single Pbase Algoritbm for Utility Mining in Big Data by Junqiang Liu, Qingfeng Zhou, Wenhui Wang, Lei Shi

“…Most of the latest works on utility mining generates a huge number of candidates in dealing with big data,which suffers from the scalability issue.Some work does not generate candidates,but suffers from the efficiency issue due to lack of strong pruning and high computation overhead.A novel algorithm that finds high utility patterns in a single phase without generating candidates was proposed.The novelties lie in a prefix growth strategy with strong pruning,and a sparse matrix based representation of transactions with pseudo projection.The proposed algorithm works in a depth first manner and does not materialize high utility patterns in memory,which further improves the scalability.Extensive experiments on synthetic and rea1-world data show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the latest works in terms of running time,memory overhead,and scalability.…”

Representação feminina na narrativa infantojuvenil brasileira contemporânea by Leda Cláudia da Silva

“…It is our aim to reflect about the building of the feminine role in a tentative of identifying and questioning matters related to the absence of representation, to the stereotype, or still to the possibility of the literary building of the feminine identity in a multiple and representative manner. The narratives, under examination, were withdrawn from the collection selected and distributed by the Ministry of Education for public schools in Brazil, by means of the National School Library Program. …”
