Abstract:

Este libro recoge la investigación enfocada en los elementos discursivos de varios autores entorno a la reformulación de la modernidad ortodoxa que se produce tras la posguerra de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En un clima de inquietud, oportunidad y expectación de una sociedad de masas cambiante por el auge de la tecnología , surgen figuras relevantes como Cedric Price, Alison y Peter Smithson, Jaap Bakema en Europa o Paul Rudolph, y Bernard Rudosky en Norteamérica como voces críticas con potentes propuestas de reconducción disciplinar. Otros arquitectos como Richard Neutra o Eero Saarinen se alinean más claramente con el sistema pero abriendo nuevos campos de trabajo; mientras que movimientos coetáneos surgidos como el Neorrealismo italiano, la Internacional Situacionista o el Metabolismo japonés experimentan con arquitecturas intensamente focalizadas en cuestiones como el regionalismo, la movilidad o la infraestructura. Sara Williams Goldgahen y Réjean Legaul como editores, suplementan los estudios individuales contextualizando marcos generales comunes y aportando novedosas redefiniciones que permiten una interesante supralectura.

Abstract:

AbstractComparisons of whole-lichen physiology to the respective photobionts have often been unclear due to inherent differences in isolated photobiont culturing techniques. The use of 13-mm-diameter cellulose-acetate discs allows photobiont cultures access to nutrient agar medium, while improving ease of manipulation and distinct separation from the agar. Adequate culture growth for experimentation is reached in approximately three weeks, a time comparable to standard nutrient agar and liquid cultures. These discs are then available for use in a variety of manipulative techniques. Chlorophyll determination of an entire algal disc culture is obtainable because the discs readily dissolve in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO), with no interference in the 400–700 nm range. Photosynthesis and respiration may be measured with standard gas exchange equipment. Photobiont discs allow for fumigation in the gas phase with no increase in external ⊂pH reported to occur during gaseous fumigations in liquid media. The disc system is also useful for fluorescence studies. Trebouxia erici cultures exhibited a CO⊂2 gas exchange on a gram dry weight basis similar to whole lichen systems. The ease with which photobionts can be cultured and manipulated using this system allows for expanded experimentation and comparisons.

Full text

Abstract:

In some of his more obscure works, Michel Foucault characterises homosexual culture as being connected with an interesting practice of friendship. Since homosexual relationships cannot be derived from existing norms, they are inherently underdetermined, and this means that homosexual culture provides a space for the creation of new types of relationship. Inspired by this practice of social experimentation, Foucault puts forward a concept of friendship based on the collaborative creation of new relationships in marginal spaces. I argue that putting this concept of friendship into practice entails social activism in two ways: first, the creation of new relationships in marginal spaces constitutes a form of localised resistance to social normalisation, and second, because experimentation with relationships presents a challenge to the excessive normalisation of relationships on a societal scale. Friendship, for Foucault, is therefore a resource for both local resistance and large-scale social change. I also argue that Foucault's work on gay culture deserves more scholarly attention because it provides a supplement to his interpretation of the Enlightenment and forges a link between friendship and the aesthetics of existence.

Abstract:

Recent research has highlighted the emergence of “alternative social media” platforms. Developed by open source communities with non-commercial goals, these platforms can offer more expansive participatory cultures than corporate platforms. However, such platforms also involve new kinds of participatory challenges, such as requiring high technological literacy. This article examines the complexity of enacting participatory cultures by drawing on an ethnographic study of Scuttlebutt, a decentralized social media platform being developed by an open source community. This examination focuses on three key features of participatory culture as enacted on Scuttlebutt: varying modes and sites of participation; reflexivity about who is participating and how; and an evaluation of limits to participation. It also considers the challenges that arise from Scuttlebutt’s approach and how these highlight the profound difficulty of trying to enact fuller models of participatory culture. From these findings, we argue that Scuttlebutt provides an important example of the experimentation that alternative social media platforms are conducting around open, democratic modes of socio-technical organizing, and note that this experimentation raises important questions about how we conceptualize participation and the future of social media.

Abstract:

In skin research, widely used in vitro 2D monolayer models do not sufficiently mimic physiological properties. To replace, reduce, and refine animal experimentation in the spirit of ‘3Rs’, new approaches such as 3D skin equivalents (SE) are needed to close the in vitro/in vivo gap. Cell culture inserts to culture SE are commercially available, however, these inserts are expensive and of limited versatility regarding experimental settings. This study aimed to design novel cell culture inserts fabricated on commercially available 3D printers for the generation of full-thickness SE. A computer-aided design model was realized by extrusion-based 3D printing of polylactic acid filaments (PLA). Improvements in the design of the inserts for easier and more efficient handling were confirmed in cell culture experiments. Cytotoxic effects of the final product were excluded by testing the inserts in accordance with ISO-norm procedures. The final versions of the inserts were tested to generate skin-like 3D scaffolds cultured at an air–liquid interface. Stratification of the epidermal component was demonstrated by histological analyses. In conclusion, here we demonstrate a fast and cost-effective method for 3D-printed inserts suitable for the generation of 3D cell cultures. The system can be set-up with common 3D printers and allows high flexibility for generating customer-tailored cell culture plastics.

Full text

Abstract:

The paper aims to explore prosodic experimentation and musical sensibility designed for limning the dynamism observed in the Victorian world by the poet, Gerard Manley Hopkins in his poetry, especially, in “The Windhover”, “God’s Grandeur”, “Pied Beauty”, “Inversnaid” and “Spring”. Through a close reading of the prosody, rhythm, rhyme, metrics, alliteration, assonance and onomatopoeia in Hopkins’ poems from the theoretical paradigms of the prosody, and sprung rhythm, propounded by Hopkins himself, and some other theorists, the study is an attempt to prove how Gerard Manley Hopkins exploits the rhythmic novelty to give each poem a distinctive design to capture his apprehension of dynamism, the intense thrust of energy in nature. The finding is that it was the Victorian culture and milieu evoked by the Second Industrial Revolution, technological advance, and Hopkins’ conviction that God manifested in the material world that influenced him to use innovative rhythmic patterns in his poetry so that we could perceive how the universe is characterized by a distinctive design that constitutes individual identity. It is expected that researchers intending to observe the prosodic techniques in poetry in general and Hopkins in particular can take the paper as a reference.

Abstract:

Nutrition is an important issue of plant cultivation and experimentation with plant nutrients is a supporting tool for agriculture. However, use of high purity grade reagents as nutrient sources can be expensive and increases the cost of an experiment. The objective of this study was to minimize the acquisition cost of high purity grade reagents in experiments on plant nutrient deficiency by using the missing element technique through linear programming models, and to generate recommendation tables for preparation of culture solutions, as well as to quantify gains through a simulated experiment. Two linear programming models were formulated containing concentration constraints for each nutrient in the culture solution. Model A was based on 16 reagents for preparation of the culture solution, while model B was based on 27 reagents, looking to increase choice options. Results showed that both models minimized the acquisition cost of reagents, allowing a 9.03% reduction in model A and a 25.98% reduction in model B. The missing sulfur treatment proved the most costly for reagent acquisition while the missing nitrogen treatment proved the least costly. It was concluded that the formulated models were capable of reducing acquisition costs of reagents, yet the recommendations generated by them should be tested and checked for practical viability.

Abstract:

In its 2002-3 Strategic Review, the Royal Anthropological Institute reasserted the importance of the public communication of anthropology for the future of the discipline. Two significant venues for public engagement activity were identified: museums and pre-university education contexts. We present an account of the development and piloting of an anthropology teaching and learning resource that bridges these two arenas. Complementing efforts to introduce an anthropology A-Level, the Culture, Identity, Difference resource uses museum collections as a way of introducing anthropological perspectives on topics such as belief, ethnicity, gender and power to enhance students' studies across a range of different A-Level subjects. We reflect on some of the lessons learnt during the process, including the value of developing resources that can be used flexibly and creatively by teachers and students, and the need to approach the museum as a space of encounter, exploration and experimentation rather than as a didactic educational venue.

Abstract:

Web Finance Incorporation (2016) explains work shift as a work schedule in which a group of workers rotate through set periods of time. Shift work is well recognized in Customer Service and Hotel Industry. These shift employees often complain of emotional, psychological and physiological difficulties. Against this background, the objective of the present study was to analyze the differences between 160 Day and Night Shift employees (selected through non-probability sampling) working in Customer Service (n=80) and Hotel Industry (n=80).The study also aimed at identifying predictors of Loneliness at Workplace. The Organizational Culture Profile (Pareek, 2011), Interpersonal Communication Inventory (Bienvenu, 1971), Dealing with Emotions (Pareek, 2011) and Loneliness at Workplace (Wright, Burt & Strongman, 2006) were administered to measure the respective variables. The statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between Customer Service and Hotel Industry employees in terms of trust, authenticity, collaboration, experimentation, rumination and social companionship (p<0.05). Significant differences in openness, experimentation, coping with feelings, emotional deprivation and social companionship were observed between Day and Night Shift employees (p<0.05). Results further revealed that among Customer Service employees the major predictors of emotional deprivation were interpersonal communication, proaction and flow and of social companionship were interpersonal communication, proaction, self-expression and openness and among Hotel Industry employees the main predictors of emotional deprivation were proaction, rumination, experimentation, interpersonal communication and perceived acceptance and of social companionship were rumination, experimentation and clarity (p<0.05). The current study highlight the importance of organizational and interpersonal values, companies should promote and uphold in order to build healthy working conditions for their employees eventually culminating into their own success.

Abstract:

The Princess(1847), whichTennyson himself famously dismissed as “only a medley” (qtd. in Hallam Tennyson 2.71), presents itself as a cacophonous tangle of poetic experimentation and narrative diversity. Even the frame narrative ofThe Princess, which ostensibly provides a rationale for the tonal discontinuities of the fantastic tale of gender, education, and sexual dominance that comprises its internal story, creates further confusion by establishing seven largely unidentifiable narrators, an unclear number of intercalary singers, and a poet-speaker whose supposed efforts to compile and record the tale end not in a cohesive narrative, but in a text that moves “as in a strange diagonal” between burlesque and heroic, comic and tragic, narrative and lyric (Conclusion 27).

The integration of computers into our language laboratories must involve rethinking the concept of the laboratory as a setting for experimentation to include the fields of experimentation with linguistic concepts, with culture, and with language acquisition.This article describes a German-language microworld for fostering language acquisition—for learning a computer language through a natural language. "INFORMATIK I" is a course on the nature of language, on CAI, and on the programming language, SuperPILOT, a course in which German is the medium for communicating and learning. Following the course description is that of a disk-based tutorial on the instruction set of SuperPILOT. This tutorial reflects the premise of the course, that experimentation fosters comprehension, and includes a series of laboratory experiments for students to complete—all couched in German.

Abstract:

Abstract Based on Genetic Algorithm, a pattern recognition approach using fitness to dynamically monitor the sub cultured seeding of kiwifruit is proposed in order to decrease the loss of variant seedlings in tissue culture. By coding, selection, mutation and cross-overing the selected primer pairs of the sub cultured seeding, we simulate the process of optimizing the kiwifruit’s genomic DNA polymorphism. The corresponding fitness values of the primer pairs are evaluated with fitness function for monitor the variation of kiwi’s DNA. The result shows that kiwi’s plantlets can better maintain their genes’ genetic stability for the first to the ninth generation. But from the tenth generation, the fitness values become variation. The results are based on experimentation, which uses optimized AFLP system for analyzing genetic diversity of 75 samples of seventh to eleventh 5 generations of kiwi.

Abstract:

Bambusa balcooa is a common plant grown in Bihar, Orissa, Jharkhand and Uttarakhand states of India having good cultural importance. The present experimentation on nodal explants of B. balcooa on MS media supplement under particular culture conditions has shown shunted growth in 30 days. Shoot tip explants of B. balcooa seedlings produced multiple shoots on MS medium supplemented with different plant growth regulators (PGRs) individually and in combination. Shoot tip explants of B. balcooa requires 30 days to initiate shoots. Among the three cytokinins tested, BAP was selected as the most suitable hormone to induce shoot multiplication. The highest shoot multiplication is found by incorporation with BAP (1.5 µg/L and 2 µg/L). The shoot multiplication rates are good with shoot length 2.5±0.3 cm and 3.9±0.4 cm with the highest and maximum shoot generation. The shoot multiplication rate is moderate with a shoot length of 2.00±0.5 cm. Multiplication potentiality was observed in the cluster having more than 2–3 shoots. The best period for recycling multiplying shoots is 2–3 weeks in the old culture. Delaying of the sub-culturing period resulted in gradual browning of the shoots. The sub-culturing period was recorded as the most crucial factor for obtaining the optimal and desired level of regeneration of shoots. The well-grown propagules in the present experimentation were shown successful regeneration. Hence, the experiment concluded with the best growth pattern observed in media containing auxins like BAP and cytokinins like kinetin.

Full text

Abstract:

The usefulness of isolated adult cardiac myocytes, both in suspension and in culture, as a model system for measuring cardiotoxicity is evaluated. It has been suggested that isolated adult myocytes should preferably be cultured for such experimentation, as this restores the cells to a physiological preference for fatty acids as a substrate rather than glucose. We show here that the restoration of Ca2+ to cells immediately after isolation results in an artificially enhanced glucose metabolism, as measured by an elevated rate of deoxyglucose uptake. Early restoration of Ca2+ during cell isolation, on the other hand, results in cells with a normal low level of deoxyglucose uptake. We, thus, conclude that cells can be ready for valid toxicity studies immediately after isolation, without the need for culture. The culture of adult feline ventricular cells is also described. These cells, like rabbit but unlike rat, are particularly promising for toxicity studies because they remain quiescent in culture and do not round up. On exposure to norepinephrine, they beat spontaneously and increase their rate of protein synthesis.

Abstract:

Human monocytes were cultured on monolayers of a newly established microvascular endothelial cell strain. As compared to monocytes cultured on plastic, these endothelium-“derived” monocytes (EDM) showed distinct morphology, higher motility, and different antigen-expression pattern for several surface markers, as detected by cytofluorimetry. The MO-1- and the Leu-M1-marker were maintained on EDMs while they were lost on plastic-cultured cells. The MAX 1–26-termed markers failed to increase on EDMs, in contrast to plastic-cultured monocytes. For seven additional markers, expression after two weeks in vitro was higher on EDMs than on plastic-cultured monocytes. Functionally EDMs showed typical monocyte/macrophage behavior and were easily removable from the culture system for further experimentation. Our data suggest that monocytes cultured on microvascular endothelial cells are maintained for several weeks in a more physiologic state than monocytes cultured on plastic.

Abstract:

Abstract The replication of objects lies at the heart of material culture research in archaeology. In particular, replication plays a key role in a number of core activities in our discipline including teaching, research, and public engagement. Despite its being fundamental to the archaeological process, however, replication comes across as an under-theorised field of artefact research. The problem is compounded by the recent development of digital technologies, which add a new layer of challenges as well as opportunities to the long-established practice of making and using physical copies of objects. The paper discusses a number of issues with artefact replication including aims, design, and methodology, from the standpoint of two research projects currently coordinated by the authors: the Bronze Age Combat project, which explores prehistoric fighting techniques through field experiments and wear analysis (Dolfini); and the NU Digital Heritage project, which centres upon the digital capture and modelling of Roman material culture from Hadrian’s Wall (Collins). Both projects have actively created replicas in physical or digital media, and direct comparison of the two projects provide a number of useful lessons regarding the role, uses, and limits of artefact replication in archaeology.

Abstract:

Pliny, Tacitus, and Juvenal were all released by the death of Domitian in A.D. 96 and the succession of Nerva, then of Trajan in 98 to embark on their separate careers of public and literary life. While Pliny reflects a happy present time, Tacitus and Juvenal look back on earlier times with disgust and indignation. But that, too, could well imply that, secure with the Trajanic Era, they were seeking more dramatic material for their comfortable audiences. When Trajan died in 117, Juvenal had published two books of poems consisting of what we call Satires 1 to 6. Trajan's successor, Hadrian, was a considerably different man, not only a capable soldier and administrator but a person of culture, widely travelled, fond of architectural experimentation, with a life-style that included both a wife and a handsome Bithynian named Antinous. Life was not so predictable under Hadrian for anybody. Pliny had already died, and Tacitus may not have survived very long into the new reign, but Juvenal was still alive and writing after 127.

Abstract:

There is increasing recognition that an entrepreneurial philanthropy partnership (EPP) has become a modus operandi for non-profit organisations and for-profit companies, aligning their interactions according to societal expectations. While these partnerships offer many advantages in principle, there is little consensus by academics and practitioners on what it presents for action, and its practice varies. The purpose of this article is to address the characteristics of EPPs that are associated with its establishment and with maintaining the continuous dialogue of tacit and explicit know-how. Therefore, a theoretical Entrepreneurial Philanthropy Alignment Model has been developed and is empirically tested in the context of existing EPPs in The Netherlands. The model may inform continuing theory building and practical experimentation to refine defining the amplitude of partnership practice, and to enhance the responsiveness to partners’ expectations of an EPP.

Abstract:

An attempt has been made to investigate the mediating role of OCBs in culture and turnover intentions. Data was collected from 15 BPO units located in Chandigarh. Findings revealed that OCBs of employees in the BPO sector are mainly sensitive to four dimensions of organizational culture viz. proaction, confrontation, experimentation and openness. Finally, a partial mediation of OCBs had been found between organizational culture and turnover intentions. Taking into consideration the practical implications of the study, findings suggest that BPO Managers should pay special attention and recognition to employees' OCBs, as these could help in reducing their attrition. Further implications of the results and direction for future research have been elaborated.

Abstract:

Rapid change is an accelerating problem for projects in most industries. This article presents findings from a grounded theory study identifying project management approaches for mitigating rapid change in the course of a project. These results relate to culture, communication, and leadership and are complimentary to results previously presented on planning and control for dynamic environments. The study employed 37 in-depth interviews and three focus groups held with practitioners across ten industries (defense, community development, construction, technology, pharmaceutical, film production, scientific startups, venture capital, space, and research). Themes emerged relating to: a vision led, egalitarian, goal-orientated culture supporting experimentation; timely and efficient communication; and flexible leadership with rapid decision making. The findings address a gap in the project management literature and may be useful to practitioners.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article argues that Renaissance print culture appropriated the cultural meanings of the footprint. The potent analogy between the printing press and printing foot informed Reformation debates over Christ’s footprints as objects of devotion and subjects of representation. In sixteenth-century England a model for investigative reading informed by Erasmian humanism was developed in the print projects of George Gascoigne and Edmund Spenser. Experimentation with effects of the press and the material environment of the page culminated in extensive play upon the material and metaphorical sign of the printing foot in Spenser’s “Amoretti.”

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThis article explains how the concept and the practice of gift-making evolved in Spanish Italy in connection with power. Contemporary chronicles, avvisi (newsletters), and letters enable us to reflect upon how gifts were seen, given, and received in the period at the Spanish embassy in Rome and in the viceroyalty of Naples. It aims to establish how the exchange of presents affected the wielding of power and how it contributed to shaping the political culture of the Spanish in Italy. The seventeenth century and Italy were the time and place that witnessed the greatest experimentation in gift-making practices. This experimentation and the polysemic nature of gifts can also be explained as a result of the low level of professionalization that still characterized diplomacy in seventeenth-century Europe.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTEleven ancient Chinese ceramics from the early Bronze Age Qijia culture (c. 2200 – 1600 BCE) in the collection of the Harvard Art Museums were the subject of an interdisciplinary research project to explore questions about manufacturing techniques, specifically details of formation and decoration. While the Qijia culture, centered in the Gansu and Qinghai provinces of northwest China, is historically important as one of the earliest metalworking cultures of China and as a center of intercultural communication between China and central Asia, detailed scholarship about the culture is still emerging. Qijia ceramics have been categorized by typology, but little has been done regarding methods of manufacture. This study used visual examination and digital X-radiography to investigate ceramic production, especially the use of a wheel. In addition, the ceramic paste, including natural inclusions and temper, was examined. While film radiography has often been used to study ceramics, digital radiography presented new capabilities as well as challenges. Experimentation through the making of test vessels and tiles at the Harvard Ceramics Program provided additional insights into Qijia ceramics’ manufacture and surface decoration techniques, often described as cord-impressed.

Abstract:

AbstractCollecting seeds and specimens was an integral aspect of botany and natural history in the eighteenth century. Historians have until recently paid less attention to the importance of collecting, trading and compiling knowledge of their cultivation, but knowing how to grow and maintain plants free from disease was crucial to agricultural and botanical projects. This is particularly true in the case of food security. At the close of the eighteenth century, European diets (particularly among the poor) began shifting from wheat- to potato-dependence. In Britain and Ireland during these decades, extensive crop damage was caused by diseases like ‘curl’ and ‘dry rot’ – leading many agriculturists and journal editors to begin collecting data on potato cultivation in order to answer practical questions about the causes of disease and methods that might mitigate or even eliminate their appearance. Citizens not only produced the bulk of these data, but also used agricultural print culture and participation in surveys to shape and direct the interpretation of these data. This article explores this forgotten scientific ambition to harness agricultural citizen science in order to bring stability and renewed vitality to the potato plant and its cultivation. I argue that while many agriculturists did recognize that reliance upon the potato brought with it unique threats to the food supplies of Britain and Ireland, their views on this threat were wholly determined by the belief that the diseases attacking potato plants in Europe had largely been produced or encouraged by erroneous cultivation methods.

Abstract:

The human face is a popular motif in art and depictions of faces can be found throughout history in nearly every culture. Artists have mastered the depiction of faces after employing careful experimentation using the relatively limited means of paints and oils. Many of the results of these experimentations are now available to the scientific domain due to the digitization of large art collections. In this paper we study the depiction of the face throughout history. We used an automated facial detection network to detect a set of 11,659 faces in 15,534 predominately western artworks, from 6 international, digitized art galleries. We analyzed the pose and color of these faces and related those to changes over time and gender differences. We find a number of previously known conventions, such as the convention of depicting the left cheek for females and vice versa for males, as well as unknown conventions, such as the convention of females to be depicted looking slightly down. Our set of faces will be released to the scientific community for further study.

Abstract:

The origins of human culture and the foundation of freedom can be traced back to the religious nature of the species. Human ability to create an entirely worldly one, separate from the great synthesis, came only after a long period of experimentation and thought. Certainly, this is seen as a positive development in the current conception of culture and its historical context. Today, it is being debated whether the detachment of human work-from science to morality to education to the state to economics to art-from religious connections and connections has been beneficial both to culture itself and to human personality progress in the direction of higher concrete achievements and human development. The author utilized deductive reasoning to create a link between religion and the aspects of culture and the foundations of freedom in this research work, which uses a qualitative technique based on a deductive research methodology.

Abstract:

This article investigates how creative fiction writing has responded to the problem of representing the multimodal landscape of digital culture in young adult literature (YAL). Twenty years ago, Dresang’s theory of Radical Change presented a new breed of digitally engaged YAL that addressed changes in thinking about digital technologies and how young people interacted with them. Nikolajeva predicted the phenomenon three years earlier arguing for YAL coming of age as a literary form. In this article, I argue for the necessity of this work to continue, from the perspective of author-practitioner, and for the importance for authors to develop an expanded writing practice that foregrounds formal experiment that both reflects and critiques the thematic concerns and practices of digital culture. I begin by presenting some context for the work, in the form of a brief discussion of formal experimentation within selected YAL, and then go on to discuss my methods and approaches. This creative writing practice research has been undertaken during the course of Ph.D. study that has explored combining dramatic and multimodal writing techniques into a traditional prose fiction text, in this case a novel, aimed for YAL readers.

Abstract:

Availability of immature embryos as explants to establish wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by tissue culture can be limited by climatic factors and the lack of high quality embryos frequently hampers experimentation. This study evaluates the effects of rainfall, various temperature-based variables and sunshine duration on tissue culture response (TCR) traits including callus formation (CF), regenerating calli (RC), and number of plants per embryo (PPE) for 96 wheat genotypes of worldwide origin. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the significance of a particular climatic factor on TCR traits and to determine the period of wheat growth during which these factors were the most effective. The genotypes were grown in an experimental field during three seasons differing in meteorological conditions. The relationships between TCR traits and climatic factors within three time periods of wheat growth: 2, 6 and 10 weeks prior to embryo sampling were analysed by biplot analysis. The tissue culture traits were influenced at very different degrees by climatic factors: from 16.8% (RC) to 69.8% (CF). Donor plant environment with high temperatures and low rainfalls reduced (p < 0.05) the tissue culture performance of wheat genotypes. Callus formation was most sensitive to the temperature based factors. The environmental conditions between flowering and the medium milk stage were the most important for CF, while RC and PPE were not particularly related to any period.

Abstract:

The use of in vitro systems to investigate the process of corneal wound healing offers the opportunity to reduce animal pain inflicted during in vivo experimentation. This study aimed to establish an easy-to-handle ex vivo organ culture model with porcine corneas for the evaluation and modulation of epithelial wound healing. Cultured free-floating cornea disks with a punch defect were observed by stereomicroscopic photo documentation. We analysed the effects of different cell culture media and investigated the impact of different wound sizes as well as the role of the limbus. Modulation of the wound healing process was carried out with the cytostatic agent Mitomycin C. The wound area calculation revealed that after three days over 90% of the lesion was healed. As analysed with TUNEL and lactate dehydrogenase assay, the culture conditions were cell protecting and preserved the viability of the corneal tissue. Wound healing rates differ dependent on the culture medium used. Mitomycin C hampered wound healing in a concentration-dependent manner. The porcine cornea ex vivo culture ideally mimics the in vivo situation and allows investigations of cellular behaviour in the course of wound healing. The effect of substances can be studied, as we have documented for a mitosis inhibitor. This model might aid in toxicological studies as well as in the evaluation of drug efficacy and could offer a platform for therapeutic approaches based on regenerative medicine.

Abstract:

In early preclinical drug development, potential candidates are tested in the laboratory using isolated cells. These in vitro experiments traditionally involve cells cultured in a two-dimensional monolayer environment. However, cells cultured in three-dimensional spheroid systems have been shown to more closely resemble the functionality and morphology of cells in vivo . While the increasing usage of hepatic spheroid cultures allows for more relevant experimentation in a more realistic biological environment, the underlying physical processes of drug transport, uptake and metabolism contributing to the spatial distribution of drugs in these spheroids remain poorly understood. The development of a multiscale mathematical modelling framework describing the spatio-temporal dynamics of drugs in multicellular environments enables mechanistic insight into the behaviour of these systems. Here, our analysis of cell membrane permeation and porosity throughout the spheroid reveals the impact of these properties on drug penetration, with maximal disparity between zonal metabolism rates occurring for drugs of intermediate lipophilicity. Our research shows how mathematical models can be used to simulate the activity and transport of drugs in hepatic spheroids and in principle any organoid, with the ultimate aim of better informing experimentalists on how to regulate dosing and culture conditions to more effectively optimize drug delivery.

Abstract:

Naples in the last thirty years of the eighteenth-century was characterized by a fervent climate of theatrical experimentation. Although too often viewed as the last stronghold of Metastasian dramatic principles and traditions, the city was deeply influenced by the “reform culture” of Northern Europe. These exterior influences were bolstered by the contributions of local practitioners, whether composers, performers, and theorists. This essay is a brief consideration of how the ideas of “reform culture” affected contemporary Neapolitan theatrical practices and the emergence of new works in the city. A critical source for “reformed” theatrical philosophy was the work of Antonio Planelli (1747–1803), whose treatise Dell’opera in musica (1772) is a significant exploration and commentary on the dramatic stage of the Bourbon capital. Progressing from theatrical philosophy to existing practice, I will consider how the prevailing conditions animated the creation of the largely unknown cantata/pastorale/opera, La pietà d’amore (1782) by the singer, composer, and Calzabigi protégé Vito Giuseppe Millico (1737–1802), created expressly for Naples under the sway of reform principles and his direct collaborations with the poet of Orfeo, Alceste, and Paride ed Elena. My study concludes with an examination of the emergence of the so-called “Lenten tragedy” or azione sacra per musica, a theatrical form created in the exclusive environs of the Teatro di San Carlo, the royal theater of the Bourbon capital, yet imparting a new theatrical aesthetic and modes of representation for contemporary sacred genres consistent to select ideals of reform culture.

Abstract:

Cell biologists have been afforded extraordinary new opportunities for experimentation by the emergence of powerful technologies that allow the selective manipulation of gene expression. Currently, RNA interference is very much in the limelight; however, significant progress has also been made with two other approaches. Thus, antisense oligonucleotide technology is undergoing a resurgence as a result of improvements in the chemistry of these molecules, whereas designed transcription factors offer a powerful and increasingly convenient strategy for either up- or down-regulation of targeted genes. This mini-review will highlight some of the key features of these three approaches to gene regulation, as well as provide pragmatic guidance concerning their use in cell biological experimentation based on our direct experience with each of these technologies. The approaches discussed here are being intensely pursued in terms of possible therapeutic applications. However, we will restrict our comments primarily to the cell culture situation, only briefly alluding to fundamental differences between utilization in animals versus cells.
