Abstract:

Contact inhibition of locomotion (CIL) is the process whereby cells collide, cease migrating in the direction of the collision, and repolarize their migration machinery away from the collision. Quantitative analysis of CIL has remained elusive because cell-to-cell collisions are infrequent in traditional cell culture. Moreover, whereas CIL predicts mutual cell repulsion and ‘scattering’ of cells, the same cells in vivo are observed to undergo CIL at some developmental times and collective cell migration at others. It remains unclear whether CIL is simply absent during collective cell migration, or if the two processes coexist and are perhaps even related. Here, we used micropatterned stripes of extracellular matrix to restrict cell migration to linear paths such that cells polarized in one of two directions and collisions between cells occurred frequently and consistently, permitting quantitative and unbiased analysis of CIL. Observing repolarization events in different contexts, including head-to-head collision, head-to-tail collision, collision with an inert barrier, or no collision, and describing polarization as a two-state transition indicated that CIL occurs probabilistically, and most strongly upon head-to-head collisions. In addition to strong CIL, we also observed ‘trains’ of cells moving collectively with high persistence that appeared to emerge from single cells. To reconcile these seemingly conflicting observations of CIL and collective cell migration, we constructed an agent-based model to simulate our experiments. Our model quantitatively predicted the emergence of collective migration, and demonstrated the sensitivity of such emergence to the probability of CIL. Thus CIL and collective migration can coexist, and in fact a shift in CIL probabilities may underlie transitions between solitary cell migration and collective cell migration. Taken together, our data demonstrate the emergence of persistently polarized, collective cell movement arising from CIL between colliding cells.

Abstract:

Intercultural dialogue can be an exchange of cultural subjects, activity kinds and an exchange of consciousness images. New foreign culture activity is understood by means of the subject image and activity of one’s own culture. Dialogue of the cultures proceeds only in the mind of con-crete culture carrier. Collision with a new culture during intercultural communications makes the person to study his own culture more deeply and promotes its better understanding.

Abstract:

The culture of science is deeply influenced and conditioned by the socio-political realities of both time and locale. Pre-colonial India, for example, was no tabula rasa. It had a vigorous tradition in at least the realms of mathematics, astronomy and medicine. But gradual colonization made a big dent. It brought forth a massive cultural collision which influenced profoundly the cognitive and material existence of both the colonizer and the colonized.

Abstract:

The Silk Road is a product of the mutual exchange of material culture and spiritual culture among ancient China and other countries, regions, and nations. It is the result of the contact and collision between Eastern and Western civilizations. Historically, the Silk Road served as a bridge of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, closely linking ancient Chinese culture with the cultures of Central Asia, West Asia, and even ancient Siberian. In various areas along the Silk Road, all kinds of painted pottery art were integrated and developed.

Abstract:

Modern Spanish is a multi-ethnic, complex structured, hierarchical formation ofnan abstract nature that serves its communicative, cognitive, pragmatic and other needs, diverse peoples, ethnos and social groups in contemporary Spanish -speaking countries located on different continents. This language has gone the difficult way of asserting its identity and has felt the ambiguous effect of collision with other linguistic cultures in the process of socio-political, economic and cultural changes. We consider that the language is the main consolidating force of society, it participates in the complex relationships in the triad society-language-culture, and simultaneously plays a key role in social transformations and preserving national and cultural identity. A culture that relies on the language system and cannot exist without it, is a decisive factor in changes in social practices. Therefore, we regard the language as a kind of a framework for culture, and in its complex, both the language and the culture, form an indivisible phenomenon such as the linguoculture, which is inherent in a particular people, ethnicity, society. Within the limits of the theory of linguistic collision, the causes of the original design of the Iberian-Roman linguistic culture can be considered as the intrinsic processes, which were set in the crisis (in the Vth century) and the fall (in the VIth cenury) of the Roman Empire, in the collapse of the Roman linguistic culture. The effect of the contact with German and Arabic linguistic cultures were manifested in complete abandoning of German linguoculture or partial rejection of Arabic linguoculture and in the Spaniards’ awareness of their own national linguistic and cultural identity.

Abstract:

We describe a direct way of measuring contact inhibition of locomotion by analysing the changes in motion of pairs of colliding cells. This allows values to be assigned to each type of cell in mixed collisions and will enable certain hypotheses about the relationship between contact inhibition and invasion in culture to be tested critically. We find that fibrosarcoma (FS9) cells, on colliding with chick heart fibroblasts, show a reversed contact-inhibition response that we call contact promotion of locomotion. We also describe a measure of the lateral changes in motion that result from collisions between cells and show that this is dependent on the type of colliding cell but, unlike contact inhibition, it does not appear to be dependent on the type of cell with which it collides for the types studied here. Finally, we analyse how the total response is dependent on the dispositions and motions of the cells before collision and we find that FS9 cells, on colliding with fibroblasts, tend to turn towards the point of initial marginal contact. We conclude that the FS9 cells show a pronounced response on colliding with the fibroblasts, which is in contrast to the subjective impression that the FS9 cells do not respond much. These findings support the thesis of Abercrombie and colleagues, that the infiltration of a population of normal cells by a population of invasive cells in culture is dependent on the nature of the response of each cell type to collision with the other and that the invasive cells fail to show contact inhibition in these heterotypic collisions; but the findings further suggest that these invasive cells show an active invasionary response as opposed to merely failing to show contact inhibition.

Abstract:

In Philip Roth’s short story “Eli, the Fanatic”, the construction of Eli’s cultural identity is interwoven with the game of space. Space not only represents the change of Eli’s cultural identity, but also participates in its constitution as dynamics. Eli, representing the Americanized Jews of Woodenton, tried to marginalize the Jewish culture through isolating and encoding the physical space where the displaced persons temporarily dwelt. Shuttling between Woodenton and the Yeshivah, Eli was caught between American culture and Jewish culture. He was trapped into a liminal space full of cultural collision, which caused him to reconsider his location of culture. The implosion of liminal space triggered by Eli’s ambivalence about two cultures urged him to conduct spatial practice on his body, which indicated his embrace of Jewish identity. The fluidity of Eli’s cultural identity reflects Roth’s nonessential thought on cultural identity.

Abstract:

China's national cultural characteristics are diverse, and each national culture has its own characteristics and its own development history, which is a highlight of our country. However, in the wave of development of the times, the cultures of many ethnic minorities have gradually merged and degraded. The interaction among heterogeneous cultures is a common phenomenon in human society, and the exchange and collision of different regional cultures is an important factor for culture to thrive. This article is based on a cross-cultural perspective, combined with the special geographical location and diverse geographical environment of Panxi, China, and in-depth discussion, which is the process of cultural change of ethnic minorities in Panxi region of China. The ethnic culture of the Panxi region and the fascinating natural ecology complement each other, creating a unique place where the Tibetan, Qiang, Yi, Naxi, Lisu, and other diverse cultures converge in the ethnic minority areas of China. After the foundation of New China, the social system in Panxi region has undergone earth-shaking changes, and its national culture has undergone drastic changes. With the development of modernization, industrialization, and urbanization, the national culture of Panxi region of China has been constantly changing in the process of cross-cultural interaction, and new characteristics have continuously formed.

Abstract:

This paper interprets the phenomenon of road traffic accidents in contemporary Irish society as a symptom of crisis arising from processes of social transformation. Empirical data from the National Roads Authority, from Local Authority Engineers, and from the Gardaí, showing the typical traffic accident pattern, is used to develop a more general hypothesis of the uneasy coexistence of traditional and modern forms of life in contemporary Ireland. This theme is developed by a discussion of ambiguity and ambivalence arising from the hazardous experiences of accelerated modernization coexisting with vestigial and reinstitutionalised forms of traditional culture. The paper concludes by considering the driving practices of Irish motorists in terms of improvisation in conditions of uncertainty as the artful reformation of habitus.

Abstract:

Shashi Tharoor is a distinctivevoice in the Postcolonial Indian literature in English with his remarkable contribution of more than 16 works of fiction and non-fiction. Postcolonialism refers to a set of theoretical concepts, approaches and interventions which deals with the diverse effects of the interaction between the colonizer and the colonized. History, politics and culture have always been a dominant preoccupation of the Indian English novelists. The compulsive obsession was perhaps inevitable since the genre originated and developed concurrently with the climatic phase of colonial rule. As a diplomat and writer, Shashi Tharoor has explored the diversity of culture in his native country. He has made his point in many of his interviews that the novel is full of collisions of various sorts- personal, political, cultural, emotional and violent. Riot is a novel about the ownership of history, about love, hate, cultural collision, religious fanaticism and the impossibility of knowing the truth. The novel chronicles the mystery of an American 24-year old lady, Priscilla Hart. The intention of this paper is to explore the cultural conflict between the East and the West and an attempt is made to examine Shashi Tharoor’s Riot as a conveyor of the various distinguishable features to the divergent cultures. The characters of Riot are facing problems and striving to achieve their identities as Indians and as individuals in Indian society. Lakshman, though an educated Indian, cannot share his intellectual ideas with any fellow Indians, but feels quite comfortable with Priscilla, an American lady. Yet, he cannot completely forego his Indian identity and is aware of their irreconcilable gap between their culture, values and outlook towards life.

A brief excursion is made into the formation history of cultural researches, being radically changed in the beginning of XX century. The characteristic features of cultural globalization, according to its directions: the popular (mass) culture, modern world currents in art, the counter-culture as the opposition to the official culture and also the contents, peculiarities, the points of touching and understanding, the tendencies of modern world cultures and civilizations: Christian, Confucian, Islamic, Indian, Japanese, - are lighted up and analyzed. We discuss separately the postmodernism estimations of the Ukrainian researcher Yaroslav Dashkevych, the influence of the postmodernist directions on the state of the modern global cultural process. The positive and negative aspects on the way to the formation of the new world social order, modern integration processes of the non-western cultures and the results of the world cultural integration today and also the concepts of “civilizations’ collision”, “civilizations’ resistance”, probable scenario of the world inter-civilization integration, the positive achievements and problems, the mankind perspectives on the way to the globalization of cultural processes are examined.

Abstract:

Many organs consist of a hollow cavity surrounded by a monolayer of epithelial cells. Despite their common structure, such organs form by diverse morphogenetic processes. Three-dimensional culture systems have been useful in analyzing the events. Most processes require a combination of cell proliferation and cell death to produce a hollow cavity. Here, we describe a new three-dimensional culture system in which primary human lung alveolar type II cells formed hollow epithelial cysts by a novel process. Individual cells moved, collided, and formed alveolar-like cysts without appreciable proliferation or apoptosis. The alveolar-like cysts consisted of a polarized monolayer of differentiated alveolar type II cells, which secreted surfactant into the central lumen. Blockage of β1 integrin did not alter cell movement or collision, but it greatly reduced adhesion of cells after collision and subsequent formation of alveolar-like cysts. Treatment of preformed alveolar-like cysts with forskolin increased their diameter, possibly due to stimulation of fluid secretion into the lumen. We conclude that epithelial differentiation and cyst formation can occur without appreciable proliferation or apoptosis.

Abstract:

While the existence of nature distinct from human influence becomes evermore suspect, within the natural sciences, human beings are increasingly understood in naturalistic terms. The collision of the human and natural, both within conceptual discourse and the reality of climate change may be considered a “great event” in the Hegelian sense, that reveals a dialectic immanent within the nature/culture distinction. Nishida’s notion of “historical nature,” Watsuji’s unique conception of climate, and the traditional satoyama landscapes of Japan offer timely ways of understanding the sublation of the distinction between nature and culture that render the nature/spirit hierarchy found in Hegel obsolete.

Vasilij Yanovsky, representative of the first wave emigration from Soviet Russia to France, in his memories described many cultural differences between French people and Russian emigrants. He showed some features characteristic or west culture in contrast to Russian culture: personal freedom, attitude to the work and others. As an emigrant Yanovsky was both witness to and participant in the creative life of the period between the wars. He paints a picture of those young emigrants who made up Russian Paris and in the same time tried to found out their own culture identity.

Abstract:

A bioreactor system plays an important role in tissue engineering and enables reproduction and controlled changes in the environmental factor. The bioreactor provides technical means to perform controlled processes in safe and reduced reproducible generation of time. Cartilage cells were grown in vitro by mimicking the in vivo condition. The basic unit of cartilage, that is, chondrocyte, requires sufficient shear, strain, and hydrodynamic pressure for regular growth as it is nonvascular tissue. An attempt has been made to design a novel airlift reactor for chondrocyte culture, and the reactor has been evaluated for its performance. The design includes internal loop wavy riser airlift reactor for chondrocyte culture with 5% CO2 sparging which gives a good yield of chondrocyte after 28 days. The wavy riser provides more surfaces for collision of fluid flow so to create the turbulence. Also, the horizontal semicircular baffles create an angle of 180° which helps in high shear rate. The optimized L/D ratio of the designed airlift reactor (for chondrocyte culture) is 5.67, and it also exhibits good mixing performance.

Abstract:

This paper examines the work of Billy Wilder whose rich cinematic production frequently involves the collision of different languages as well as the clash of dissimilar cultures. As an Austrian living in the USA, the director had the privilege of gaining insight into his adopted culture from the point of view of an outsider – a bilingual ‘other’ who made 25 films in almost 40 years of working in Hollywood. His films recurrently depict foreign characters at which Wilder pokes fun whether they are English, French, German, Italian, Russian or even the Americans of his adopted country. More precisely, the paper offers an overview of the multi-modal portrayals of diverse ‘foreigners’, namely Germans, Russians, French and Italians, with examples taken from a small but significant sample of Wilder’s films. The subtitling of dialogue in the secondary language for the target English-speaking audience and the specific translation solutions are not within the scope of this discussion, instead we focus on the comic collision of two languages and more importantly, on the way Wilder implements humour to highlight the absurdity of cultural difference. In other words, our main goal is to explore two or more languages in contrast when they become a humorous trope.

Abstract:

It is imperative for any traffic safety enhancing effort to collate and analyze detailed data about crashes. This article describes a study that investigated all aspects related to motor vehicle crashes resulting in human injuries or deaths in Riyadh. The database consisted of 295 collisions involving 331 vehicles, 596 fatalities (car passengers and pedestrians) and 2,454 injuries with Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) ≥ 1. Results show that only 15.1% of all vehicle occupants were wearing seatbelts at the time of collision which is reflected in having most injuries occurring to upper parts of the body and the spine. It is also reflected in a high incidence rate of 0.22 fatalities per crash. The average age of victims was 33 years with three quarters of them being males. Results also show that human actions, like reckless driving, over speeding, and sudden lane deviations were the causes of most collisions. It is concluded that in order to improve traffic safety conditions in Riyadh and in the whole country, a change in driving culture of all road users is needed. This can only come with improved awareness of the risks involved among road users, better law enforcement and other engineering and hi-tech countermeasures like smart red lights.

Abstract:

The article focuses on flaws in the actual approaches of exposure to a chemical of recipient organisms. It demonstrates the excessive use of arguments based on adverse effects and underlines the necessity to take adaptive effects seriously. Regulators are invited to rethink their inclination to the `When in doubt, keep it out.' precautionary approach, with results in counter-productive and costly regulations. The authors are clear about the necessity to include hormesis, in the form of a toxicological insignificant exposure (TIE) level, related to the concentration, as a regulatory translation of adaptive effects. This inclusion might well be the `brake' for the looming `collision' with reality of the actual linear toxicological models. This analysis includes the advice to EPA, not to follow the `witch hunt of synthetic chemicals' as embodied in the EU REACH program. Human & Experimental Toxicology (2007) 26, 855 — 873

Abstract:

This reflective study explores a different perspective of intercultural communicative competency (ICC) by focusing on the speech acts that nonnative speakers of Spanish from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds find difficult to perform competently in various contexts in Colombia. This article covers a qualitative case study using interpretative phenomenological analysis to describe these foreign learners’ experiences. It aims to understand the role of their first language, culture, and identity in their use of Spanish and intercultural communication. The data was collected through interviews and reflection notes. The findings demonstrate the interaction and negotiation between the pragmatic knowledge embedded in participants’ mother tongue and the target language as they encountered contradictions of their native cultural identity and that of the target culture.

Abstract:

"Shanghai-style culture", which was rooted in the traditional Chinese culture, produced the ,modern urban culture with unique Chinese characteristics after lasting collision and integration with the Western culture. It was inseparable from the development of Shanghai, which was China's first city to have a "capital market". Due to the unique historical background, Shanghai's economic development, social patterns and consumer attitudes contributed to the breeding of domestic luxury brands. As the earliest domestic luxury brand in Shanghai, "Shanghai Tang" has been affected by "Shanghai-style culture" since its creation. This paper attempts to illustrate the direct impact of "Shanghai-style culture" on the brands by analyzing the brand culture as well as the clothing design styles, which are characterized by revival of Chinese traditions and integration with current fashion.In this paper, through the introduction and the first part summarizes the origin and development of local culture, expounds the relationship between the Shanghai style culture and brand culture, through the brand culture influence to the product design style.The second part from the design of color and style reflects the idea of Shanghai style culture influence on design style, from the classical and modern combination of style, color change reflect the influence of the design to the brand.Finally come to the conclusion that the influence of the Shanghai style culture from the design style that extends to the company culture, to the generation of Chinese luxury brand laid a solid cultural foundation.

Abstract:

The collision of “traditional” and “non-traditional” in the present day Russian religious landscape as well as in the present day world could not be interpreted as a kind of direct confrontation between Past and Present. This collision displays its global nature connected with subtle and complicated problems of revival of seemingly obsolete archaic ideas, habits and institutions in unique post-modern conditions of social life, economy, technology, mass culture and cross-cultural interplay. It seems to be valid either for interpretation of universal religious dynamics of modern and post-modern world (including Japan, India and Latin America), or for understanding and interpretation of the present day cultural, religious and legal realities in Russia including life and status of the Russian religious minorities. Many Russian domestic problems in the field of religious matters seem to be dependent not only on unique constellations of the present day universal and domestic history, but also on certain shortages of legal, philosophical and theological background of the Russian political class as well as (partly) of intelligentsia.

Abstract:

Nowadays, because the mainstream culture occupies a large number of resources in the communication field, the spread of many intangible cultural heritage has been squeezed, and batik is one of them. Guizhou batik culture, in terms of its development space, in the collision with the mainstream culture, is in a relatively disadvantaged position. However, with the accelerating process of globalization and the rapid development of information technology, we can strive to improve the translation effect by means of the combination of translation theory and communication theory, taking the 5W mode of communication as the macro guidance and "function plus loyalty" proposed by Christian Nord as the principle. The 5W mode of communication proposed by Lasswell not only summarizes communication as five important factors, but also provides new inspiration for translation scholars. Taking the translation practice of Splendid China · Guizhou Batik as an example, this paper mainly expounds the infiltration of 5W mode of communication into the translation strategy and translation skills from five factors, namely, who (author and translator), says what (communication content), in which channel (media research) and with what effect, so as to enhance the spread of batik culture in Guizhou.

Abstract:

The kinetics of lipid transfer from unilamellar liposomes to cells in monolayer culture were determined for a fluorescent phosphatidic acid, 1-palmitoyl-2-[6-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)aminocaproyl] -sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (C6-NBD-PA), and for the analogous phosphatidic acid without the fluorescent NBD group, 1-palmitoyl-2-caproyl-sn-[U-14C] glycerol 3-phosphate (C6-[14C]PA). Initial rates of liposome-to-cell transfer were measured at 2 degrees C under conditions in which the concentration of diffusible monomer in the aqueous medium was constant during the course of an experiment and was independent of total liposome concentration. Rates were similar for C6-NBD-PA and C6-[14C]PA, indicating that the NBD group does not significantly alter the transfer kinetics. It was found that liposome-to-cell transfer was dependent on 1) the mole fraction of diffusible lipid in the liposomes, 2) the liposome concentration, and 3) the cell density. The dependence of rate on the liposome concentration (observed under conditions in which aqueous monomer concentration remained constant) cannot be explained by a liposome-to-cell transfer mechanism involving the free diffusion of monomers through the aqueous medium. Instead, the data are consistent with a collision-dependent mechanism of monomer transfer that occurs when liposome and cell membranes come into contact but do not fuse.

Abstract:

Bidens pilosa is an edible herb from the Asteraceae family which is traditionally consumed as a leafy vegetable. B. pilosa has many bioactivities owing to its diverse phytochemicals, which include aliphatics, terpenoids, tannins, alkaloids, hydroxycinnamic acid (HCA) derivatives and other phenylpropanoids. The later include compounds such as chlorogenic acids (CGAs), which are produced as either regio- or geometrical isomers. To profile the CGA composition of B. pilosa, methanol extracts from tissues, callus and cell suspensions were utilized for liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometric detection (UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS). An optimized in-source collision-induced dissociation (ISCID) method capable of discriminating between closely related HCA derivatives of quinic acids, based on MS-based fragmentation patterns, was applied. Careful control of collision energies resulted in fragment patterns similar to MS2 and MS3 fragmentation, obtainable by a typical ion trap MSn approach. For the first time, an ISCID approach was shown to efficiently discriminate between positional isomers of chlorogenic acids containing two different cinnamoyl moieties, such as a mixed di-ester of feruloyl-caffeoylquinic acid (m/z 529) and coumaroyl-caffeoylquinic acid (m/z 499). The results indicate that tissues and cell cultures of B. pilosa contained a combined total of 30 mono-, di-, and tri-substituted chlorogenic acids with positional isomers dominating the composition thereof. In addition, the tartaric acid esters, caftaric- and chicoric acids were also identified. Profiling revealed that these HCA derivatives were differentially distributed across tissues types and cell culture lines derived from leaf and stem explants.

Abstract:

Woodcut New Year pictures are the artistic creation of Chinese folks, bearing regional cultures in different areas and forming a variety of artistic forms. But nowadays, under the the environment of the collision of regional culture and economic market, its expansion faces dilema of development. On the one hand, there is a gap between folk art and modern aesthetics. On the other hand, it faces the choice between traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. In such a complex environment, how to determine the development point of woodcut New Year pictures is the most important. Based on the previous research on woodcut New Year pictures in various places, the article constructs a comprehensive development value evaluation index system. Taking three places - Taohuawu, Yangjiabu and Fengxiang as examples, the paper evaluates the woodcut New Year pictures by using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, expecting to pertinently put forward a new perspective and method for the development of woodblock New Year pictures.

Worker correspondence was a form of found poetry employed by radical left writers during the 1930s. Readers' letters to publications such as New Masses and the Daily Worker were reworked with end stops and presented as free verse. This essay examines the practice of worker correspondence as a form of readymade, a consciously avant-gardist collision of politics and “high” culture. This examination is put forward as a reflection on current thinking on the literary left of the Depression decade and – along the way – suggests points of contact with the Objectivist poetics of George Oppen, Louis Zukofsky and Charles Reznikoff.

Abstract:

Abstract In the popular imaginary, Tijuana, Mexico is notorious for its liberal laws concerning prostitution, gambling, and narcotics. Conversely, Niagara Falls, Canada apparently offers visitors only wholesome attractions. Yet this sweeping generalization belies the historic parallels that exist between these iconic border towns. In Hollywood films, both Tijuana and Niagara Falls figure as liminal locations of crossing and collision, as well as permissive zones defined by sex, tourism, and consumption. This essay explores the intertwined cultural arenas of film and tourism by analyzing cinematic representations of Tijuana and Niagara Falls as cross-border tourist destinations. By examining how cinematic representations of these urbanized border regions have changed over time, I demonstrate how Hollywood, as a hegemonic culture industry, responded to the United States’ evolving relationships with its northern and southern neighbors. This study offers a hemispheric and comparative approach to the study of urban borders, tourism, and visual culture.

Abstract:

The need for change is particularly expressed in educational organizations. In education, the changes are always associated with the reforms required by the Ministry of Education and Science, and much less often seen as a permanent process that is initiated and continues throughout each school. That is exactly why the school, especially at this time of decentralization, should appear as the initiator of the change. However, it must be noted that in the teaching, non-teaching staff, and in the school leadership, there is resistance to school changes. Hence the idea that resistance to change would be reduced if the director and employees feel the need for change, if they are the initiators of the change or at least participate in the planning and execution of the change. The complexity of the school stems from the everyday relations of a teacher - student, teacher - teacher, and pupil - student. The most frequent occurrence of this is the so-called collision of generations. It practically means a clash of two cultures - climates, an adult culture (teachers), and a culture of youth (students). It all takes place in an environment with its own surrounding called school. This environment and this surrounding are characterized by certain traditions, customs, norms, habits, achieved results, manners of behaviour and communication, religion and so on. All this together with all its complexity, dynamism and openness we call the culture of the school. The word culture has a Latin origin - colare, which means nurturing, developing and embellishing. Culture and climate are interactive states of common characteristics of group influence on the environment. The paradigm of school culture goes hand in hand with the paradigm of inequality and the option of greater autonomy in schools. According to several authors, schools should not be forced to produce quick results, only for the benefit of politicians and for public satisfaction. This means that the educated results should be held accountable by the school principals, not the ministers. This practically means penetration into management, from slow changes to controlled systems (top-down changes), to school support systems (bottom-up changes). It is important to note that each school has its own recognizable culture. The school's culture can be increased in different ways. Basically, it is a content of mutually divided values. Divided values can also be experienced in the form of rituals and repetition ceremonies. This paper aims to show that through the improvement of school culture and school climate, a positive atmosphere of order and discipline, a way of communicating staff, established vision for development will be ensured, and all this towards the construction of an effective and efficient school.

Como texto híbrido mezcla lo ajeno (vanguardias europeas y cristianismo) y lo propio (cultura maya-quiché); y su confluencia posibilita la colisión de tres estéticas: la corriente realista (realismo y regionalismo), el mundo animista maya-quiché y las vanguardias (surrealismo).El Señor Presidente is a vanguard text, not in the European sense, but following the hybrid form appearing in Latin America. The novel employs resources and discourse strategies of surrealism to resize the subjective experiences of some characters enveloped in the nightmarish and demonic atmosphere of the dictatorship. As a hybrid text, foreign aspects (European vanguards and Christianity) are combined with their own (Mayan-Quiche culture); and their coming together leads to the collision of three esthetic codes: realist currents (realism and regionalism), the animist Mayan-Quiche world and the vanguards (surrealism).

Abstract:

The loss of life that resulted from the sinking of the fisheries training vessel Ehime Maru by the nuclear submarine USS Greeneville off Hawaii in February 2001 exemplifies the risks to United States–Japan alliance relations posed by US global military deployments. Following a pattern of incidents involving the US military in Japan itself, the collision violated Japanese expectations of benevolence from its stronger partner and put considerable pressure on the government to seek public apology and reassurance. This article examines the interplay of culture, national security interests and domestic politics in framing both perceptions and diplomacy during the crisis. While differences at both the cultural and security levels complicated diplomacy, asymmetry in the respective domestic political stakes, combined with overriding and largely congruent security interests, helped the United States to provide Japan with the requisite reassurance. After a decade of alliance drift, both Japan and the United States were determined to forestall defection by their alliance partner.

Abstract:

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J is an obligate intraperiplasmic predator of other Gram-negative bacteria. Collision with a suitable prey cell initiates a developmental sequence ultimately resulting in the destruction of the prey cell and the production of progeny bdellovibrios. Two-dimensional gel analysis of patterns of protein synthesis at various times in a synchronously growing culture of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J revealed over 30 polypeptides whose syntheses are developmentally regulated. The majority of these polypeptides fall into nine categories: attack phase specific or one of eight different kinetic groups expressed during the intraperiplasmic growth phase. The results indicate that Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J has a complex system for regulating gene expression during its developmental cycle.Key words: gene regulation, development, two-dimensional gels, Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.

Abstract:

The study is devoted to the analysis of methods and techniques of mythologization in the novel The Ground Beneath Her Feet written by the British author of Indian origin S. Rushdie. The paper explores the narrative organization of the novel, in which images and motifs of ancient mythology are used as a special code for artistic interpretation of European culture of the second half of the 20th century. The article examines the artistic reality of the novel, which combines the modern history of rock culture and classical mythology of Ancient Greece. S. Rushdie addresses problems related to the nature of creativity using as the main plot-forming motifs such mythologemes as the love story of Orpheus and Eurydice, the myth of alldevouring Tartarus, twin myths. The study shows that a typical technique for creating expressive threedimensional multivocal images in Rushdie's novel is a combination of real facts from the world of rock culture and mythological allusions, intertwining, overlapping and collision of various motifs and plots of Greek mythology, which, taken all together, generates the original artistic reality. The article analyzes how the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice acquires a cultural dimension in the novel and what techniques are used by the author to activate the extensive cultural memory of the Orphic myth. The concentration and interpretation of iconic images and motifs of ancient mythology are used in the novel for artistic analysis of the state of culture in the second half of the 20th century and of its attempts to counter the catastrophic tendencies of destruction and death of the modern civilization.

Abstract:

Civil and military unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) operations are currently subject to restrictions that put major limits on their use of airspace. There is considerable debate about how to develop the safe, secure and efficient integration of UAS into non-segregated airspace and aerodromes. This paper examines a necessary safety aspect. Airlines and their passengers would obviously ask, “Is it still safe with all these unmanned aircraft around?” The spotlight must be on Air Traffic Control Systems as High Reliability Organizations (HRO). That status comes from industry characteristics: focus on safety, effective use of technological improvements, learning from feedback from accidents/incidents, and an underpinning safety culture. The safety of ATC Systems has improved dramatically: accidents are now the product of rare and complex ‘messes’ of multiple failures. It is therefore a major challenge to preserve the HRO status by ensuring at least current safety performance. The analysis sketches feasible processes of policy decision-making and safety analyses. Key factors are policies on UAS equipage and airspace usage, implementation of a Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)-variant appropriate for UAS, use of an ‘Equivalent Level of Safety’ philosophy, small datalink latencies, proven HRO safety and learning cultures, and stress testing of system resilience by real-time simulations.

Abstract:

The article discusses the problem of coexistence of different types of rationality, different scientific and linguistic pictures of the world as well as the problem of the adoption by one culture of another culture’s scientific picture of the world with accompanying transformations of the linguistic picture of the world of the recipient culture. The article deals with the experience of mutual research and collision between Western and Chinese traditions, using the example of medical science. The author examines the problem of the transfer of scientific medical knowledge from Western to Chinese culture in the context of a radical mismatch of scientific and linguistic pictures. The articles considers two different approaches to the translation of Western medical terminology into Chinese, developed at different times by English translators Benjamin Hobson and John Fryer. Hobson was focused on harmonizing new terminology with the usual concepts of the world language picture of the recipient. Fryer preferred to introduce new specific terms, artificially created directly for the needs of a new scientific picture of the world. In the field of medical terminology, the first of the two approaches turns out to be more viable, since it is more focused on its “end users” – Chinese doctors who study Western medicine in order to use its methods in their medical practice. Therefore, there is only partial applicability of the approaches, methods and terminology developed in one tradition for the evaluation and development of another tradition.
