Research progress of MRI-based radiomics in hepatocellular carcinoma by Xiao-Yun Xie, Rong Chen

“…BackgroundPrimary liver cancer (PLC), notably hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), stands as a formidable global health challenge, ranking as the sixth most prevalent malignant tumor and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. HCC presents a daunting clinical landscape characterized by nonspecific early symptoms and late-stage detection, contributing to its poor prognosis. …”

Reflexiones sobre el proyecto Auto-Demarcación y EtnoCartografía de las Tierras y Hábitats Jodï y Eñepa by Stanford Zent, Egleé L. Zent, Lucas Juae Mölö, Pablo Chonokó

“…In the second place, we analyze the ambiguity of the State in regards to Indian land rights recognition throughout the Bolivarian constitutional period, as reflected in various contradictions between written laws and legal practices, the separate actions and attitudes of different government agents at regional and national levels, the inconsistencies in the institutional authorities and application of norms established to promote the demarcation process, the legal lacunae or recurrent changes in the rules regarding the petition of land rights recognition, among other aspects that have impeded reaching the final goal of indigenous land demarcations: obtaining legal title or ownership rights over their lands. Third, the multiple realities of the map are evidenced by spatial-temporal polysemy, which have forced us to recognize the different ways of perceiving and experiencing space and time among non-western peoples, for example internalized in daily life yet externalized in symbolic representations at the same time. …”

Whole-genome sequencing surveillance of Siberian tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) identifies an additional lineage in Kyrgyzstan by Jake D'Addiego, Mollie Curran-French, Jack Smith, Asankadyr T Junushov, Irena Breininger, Barry Atkinson, John Hay, Roger Hewson

“…Whilst we were able to retrieve the first partial TBEV sequence from Kyrgyzstan from Ixodes persulcatus ticks, we were unable to retrieve a complete genome sequence at that time.In this study, we have utilised a sequence-independent single-primer amplification (SISPA) protocol and retrieved the complete genome sequence of our previous 2009 TBEV tick sample (strain KY09) producing the third complete TBEV genome from Kyrgyzstan, and the first genome from the region clustering within the Vasilchenko lineage, suggesting a wider distribution for the lineage than was previously thought.We have also developed a tiling amplicon scheme for Siberian TBEV (TBEV-Sib) which produced > 90 % reference coverage at 100x sequencing depths for samples with as little as 1.13×104 RNA copies/ml. …”

F. NIETZSCHE’S POŽIŪRIS Į TIESĄ: MIRTINAS ĮKANDIMAS? by Aivaras Stepukonis

“…In Nietzsche’s thought, there may be observed a threefold turning away from the traditionally affirmative conception of truth: (1) the reduction of thinking and knowing to the physiological processes of the body and its changing corporeal states; (2) the exposure of many time-honored truths as mere superstitions expedient to factual human communities in dealing with reality in a practical, yet oversimplified and distorted manner; (3) the devaluation and/or disvaluation of truth as something useless or even detrimental to life. …”
