Targeting adipocyte ESRRA promotes osteogenesis and vascular formation in adipocyte-rich bone marrow by Tongling Huang, Zhaocheng Lu, Zihui Wang, Lixin Cheng, Lu Gao, Jun Gao, Ning Zhang, Chang-An Geng, Xiaoli Zhao, Huaiyu Wang, Chi-Wai Wong, Kelvin W. K. Yeung, Haobo Pan, William Weijia Lu, Min Guan

“…ESRRA abrogation results in enhanced SPP1 and decreased leptin secretion from both visceral adipocytes and BMAds, concertedly dictating bone marrow stromal stem cell fate commitment and restoring type H vessel formation, constituting a feed-forward loop for bone formation. Pharmacological inhibition of ESRRA protects obese mice against bone loss and high marrow adiposity. …”

The Effect of Soft Skills on the Successful Employment of Future Engineers: Self-Evaluation Results by L. V. Bondareva, T. V. Potemkina, G. S. Saulembekova

“…In order to identify the effect of “soft” skills on the readiness of future engineers to job search, a survey was conducted among 106 students, including programmers, business analysts, IT designers, materials scientists, and nanotechnologists.The authors used the statistical methods to identify the relationship between students’ self-evaluation of “soft” skills and their readiness for job-seeking. We have found that 71.7% of all respondents who determined a high level of proficiency in “soft” skills, only 29.6% are confident that job search should not cause difficulties, 28.8% can see a clear connection between their studies and future profession, and 37% believe that they have motivation for professional fulfillment.The results of the survey based on self-evaluation showed that in spite of having a high score in evaluating their “soft” skills, the respondents express extreme uncertainty that they will be competitive enough outside the university and that will be prepared to apply the skills which are crucial for successful employment.…”
