Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether human gastric mucous epithelial cells express a functional Ca2+-sensing receptor (CaR). Human gastric mucous epithelial cells were isolated from surgical tissues and cultured on glass coverslips, plastic dishes, or porous membrane filters. Cell growth was assessed by the MTT assay, CaR localization was detected by immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy, CaR protein expression was assessed by Western immunoblotting, and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was determined by fura 2 spectrofluorometry. In paraffin sections of whole stomach, we found strong CaR immunohistochemical staining at the basolateral membrane, with weak CaR-staining at the apical membrane in mucous epithelial cells. Confocal microscopy of human gastric mucous epithelial cell cultures showed abundant CaR immunofluorescence at the basolateral membrane and little to no CaR immunoreactivity at the apical membrane. Western immunoblot detection of CaR protein in cell culture lysates showed two significant immunoreactive bands of 140 and 120 kDa. Addition of extracellular Ca2+ to preconfluent cultures of human gastric mucous epithelial cells produced a significant proliferative response. Changes in [Ca2+]iwere also observed in response to graded doses of extracellular Ca2+ and Gd3+. The phospholipase C inhibitor U-73122 specifically inhibited Gd3+-induced changes in [Ca2+]iin the gastric mucous epithelial cell cultures. In conclusion, we have identified the localization of a functional CaR in human gastric mucous epithelial cells.

Abstract:

Abstract The parathyroid calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) plays a nonredundant role in systemic calcium homeostasis. In bone, Ca2+o, a major extracellular factor in the bone microenvironment during bone remodeling, could potentially serve as an extracellular first messenger, acting via the CaR, that stimulates the proliferation of preosteoblasts and their differentiation to osteoblasts (OBs). Primary digests of rat calvarial OBs express the CaR as assessed by RT-PCR, Northern, and Western blot analysis, and immunocolocalization of the CaR with the OB marker cbfa-1. Real-time PCR revealed a significant increase in CaR mRNA in 5- and 7-d cultures compared with 3-d cultures post harvesting. High Ca2+o did not affect the expression of CaR mRNA during this time but up-regulated cyclin D (D1, D2, and D3) genes, which are involved in transition from the G1 to the S phase of the cell cycle, as well as the early oncogenes, c-fos and early growth response-1; high Ca2+o did not, however, alter IGF-I expression, a mitogenic factor for OBs. The high Ca2+o-dependent increase in the proliferation of OBs was attenuated after transduction with a dominant-negative CaR (R185Q), confirming that the effect of high Ca2+o is CaR mediated. Stimulation of proliferation by the CaR involves the Jun-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway, as high Ca2+o stimulated the phosphorylation of JNK in a CaR-mediated manner, and the JNK inhibitor SP600125 abolished CaR-induced proliferation. Our data, therefore, show that the parathyroid/kidney CaR expressed in rat calvarial OBs exerts a mitogenic effect that involves activation of the JNK pathway and up-regulation of several mitogenic genes.

Abstract:

The IgCAM coxsackie–adenovirus receptor (CAR) is essential for embryonic heart development and electrical conduction in the mature heart. However, it is not well-understood how CAR exerts these effects at the cellular level. To address this question, we analyzed the spontaneous beating of cultured embryonic hearts and cardiomyocytes from wild type and CAR knockout (KO) embryos. Surprisingly, in the absence of the CAR, cultured cardiomyocytes showed increased frequencies of beating and calcium cycling. Increased beatings of heart organ cultures were also induced by the application of reagents that bind to the extracellular region of the CAR, such as the adenovirus fiber knob. However, the calcium cycling machinery, including calcium extrusion via SERCA2 and NCX, was not disrupted in CAR KO cells. In contrast, CAR KO cardiomyocytes displayed size increases but decreased in the total numbers of membrane-localized Cx43 clusters. This was accompanied by improved cell–cell coupling between CAR KO cells, as demonstrated by increased intercellular dye diffusion. Our data indicate that the CAR may modulate the localization and oligomerization of Cx43 at the plasma membrane, which could in turn influence electrical propagation between cardiomyocytes via gap junctions.

Abstract:

Abstract Chlorotoxin, a peptide toxin component of scorpion venom, binds selectively to glioblastoma and other neuroepithelial tumors, with minimal binding to non-malignant cells. We have recently developed a CAR T cell incorporating chlorotoxin (CLTX) as its target recognition domain, and CLTX-CAR T cells are now in clinical trial for recurrent glioblastoma (NCT04214392). We determined in preclinical studies that surface MMP-2 was required for CLTX-CAR T cell killing. However, the precise composition and structure of the cell surface complex recognized by CLTX-CAR T cells remains an unresolved question of increasing importance. Previous investigations have variously proposed matrix metalloprotease-2 (MMP-2), ClC-3 chloride channels, regulators of MMP-2, annexin A2, and neuropilin-1, as receptors, or components of receptors, for CLTX. To approach this question, we have visualized bound Cy5.5-conjugated CLTX peptide (CLTX.Cy5.5) or biotin-conjugated CLTX peptide (CLTX.biotin) on tumor cells in fixed sections of patient resections, on tumor cells in organotypic cultures of patient resections, and on cells of cultured patient-derived glioblastoma tumor lines. At tissue- and cell-level spatial resolution, we saw good correlation of CLTX binding with MMP-2 expression in patient tumor samples and on cultured GBM cells, and between CLTX binding and tumor cell death (cleaved caspase-3) in organotypic GBM cultures. However, at subcellular resolution, surface binding of CLTX was related to, but not precisely overlapping, with MMP-2 or other putative receptors. Rather, on fixed PBT003, PBT030 and PBT106 cells in monolayer cultures, MMP-2 staining was clustered, with diffuse loosely associated CLTX.biotin staining. Diffuse distribution of CLTX.Cy5.5 was also seen in fixed xenograft sections of PBT003-4, PBT1206, PBT030-2, PBT051 and PBT138 tumor cells, and not obviously associated with more discrete staining for IL13Rα2 and EGFR. Ongoing experiments are further examining association of CLTX with other putative components of CLTX receptor complexes, and their redistribution during binding by CLTX and CLTX-CAR T cells.

Abstract:

Abstract BACKGROUND: Current manufacturing paradigms for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T cells require ex vivo T cell activation, genetic modification, and expansion in cytokine-containing cell cultures. Most CAR T cell studies infuse cell products generated from unselected cells, in which the CD4:CD8 ratio is determined by what is collected during leukapheresis. The proportion of each subset can vary greatly in these products, reflecting the high heterogeneity of the CD4:CD8 ratio present in patients' (pts) blood at the time of treatment. Preclinical data demonstrate superior in vivo anti-tumor efficacy of cell products consisting of equal numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and a recent clinical trial, in which CD19-targeted CAR T cell products were infused at a 1:1 ratio of CD4:CD8 T cells, showed clear dose-response and dose-toxicity relationships. However, CAR T cell manufacturing using parallel CD4+ and CD8+ CAR T cell cultures adds significant cost and complexity compared with a single-stream culture. Additionally, we have found that CD8+ T cell cultures from heavily treated pts often exhibit suboptimal expansion. We therefore evaluated whether CAR T cell products with approximately equal ratios of CD4+ to CD8+ cells could be generated by mixing CD4+ and CD8+ cells at a defined ratio at culture initiation, and whether the presence of ex vivo CD4+ help can improve CD8+ cell expansion. METHODS: CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were isolated from apheresis peripheral blood mononuclear cell products of lymphoma pts (n=15) treated in one of three CD20-targeted CAR T cell trials or healthy donors (n=5) using positive (CD4) and negative (CD8) immunomagnetic bead selection. Cell cultures (1x106 cells each) were established by activating CD4+ and CD8+ cells with anti-CD3/CD28-coated paramagnetic beads, mixing them at various ratios in 24-well plates, and transducing 24 hours later with a lentivirus encoding the 1.5.3-NQ-28-BB-z CD20 CAR. Beads were removed at day 4, and cells were expanded in IL-2 containing medium. At day 7, cells were counted and analyzed by flow cytometry for CD4, CD8, and CAR expression, and then restimulated 1:1 with irradiated CD20+ lymphoblastoid cells to boost growth. On day 14 cells were again counted and analyzed by flow cytometry for CD4, CD8, and CAR expression, as well as immunophenotype. In some cases CAR+CD4+ and CAR+CD8+ cells were flow-sorted from either CD4-only, CD8-only, and mixed cultures, stained with CFSE, and restimulated with irradiated CD20+ Raji tumor cells. Proliferation and cytokine secretion were measured by flow cytometry and Luminex, respectively. In vivo T cell activity was assessed using an NSG mouse model in which T cells were infused 7 days after i.v. injection of Raji-ffLuc cells. Suboptimal doses of T cells were used to distinguish differences between conditions, since higher doses cure most mice. Mice received either: (1) 70:30 mixed CD4:CD8 CAR+ cultures (n=8), (2) 1:1 ratio of CD4:CD8 CAR+ cells grown separately (n=8), (3) Mixed CD4:CD8 empty vector cells (n=5), or (4) no treatment (n=5). RESULTS: An initial CD4:CD8 ratio of 70:30 yielded a median CD4/CD8 ratio of 1.1 for pts (Figure 1A) and 1.3 for donors at day 7, and a ratio of 0.6 and 1.0 for pts and donors, respectively, at day 14. Mixed cultures resulted in CD8+ cell expansion that was significantly higher than in separate cultures. At day 7, mean CD8+ cell expansion was 12.1-fold vs. 4.6-fold for 70:30 mixed vs. separate cultures for donors, and 2.9-fold vs. 0.7-fold for pts (Figure 1B). At day 14 CD8+ mean cell expansion was 105-fold (70:30 mixed) vs. 25-fold (separate) for donors and 40-fold vs. 1.9-fold for pts. CD8+ cells grown in mixed cultures also exhibited higher expression of memory markers (CD62L and CCR7), lower levels of exhaustion markers (Lag-3 and PD-1), and better proliferation compared with CD8 cells grown in separate cultures. In the mice we found that tumor growth inhibition was superior in the 70:30 mixed culture group than in mice receiving a 1:1 ratio of CD4:CD8 cells grown separately (Figure 1C). CONCLUSIONS: A single-stream CAR T cell culture initiated at a defined CD4:CD8 ratio of 70:30 yielded on average approximately equal numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ cells in the final cell product. Mixed CD4+ and CD8+ cultures generated CD8+ T cells with a less differentiated phenotype, and superior expansion, proliferative capacity, and in vivo activity compared with CD4+ and CD8+ cells manufactured in parallel.

Abstract:

Aim: The naturally occurring dipeptide carnosine (CAR) has been considered for glioblastoma therapy. As CAR also protects against ionizing irradiation (IR), we investigated whether it may counteract standard therapy consisting of postsurgery IR and treatment with temozolomide (TMZ). Materials & methods: Four isocitrate dehydrogenase-wildtype primary cell cultures were exposed to different doses of IR and different concentrations of TMZ and CAR. After exposure, viability under the different conditions and combinations of them was determined. Results: All cultures responded to treatment with TMZ and IR with reduced viability. CAR further decreased viability when TMZ and IR were combined. Conclusion: Treatment with CAR does not counteract glioblastoma standard therapy. As the dipeptide also protects nontumor cells from IR, it may reduce deleterious side effects of treatment.

Abstract:

BackgroundWith the clinical success of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells against hematological malignancies, investigators are looking to expand CAR-T therapies to new tumor targets and patient populations. To support translation to the clinic, a variety of cell manufacturing platforms have been developed to scale manufacturing capacity while using closed and/or automated systems. Such platforms are particularly useful for solid tumor targets, which typically require higher CAR-T cell doses that can number in the billions. Although T cell phenotype and function are key attributes that often correlate with therapeutic efficacy, it is currently unknown whether the manufacturing platform itself significantly influences the output T cell phenotype and function.MethodsStatic bag culture was compared with 3 widely-used commercial CAR-T manufacturing platforms (Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy, Cytiva Xuri W25 rocking platform, and Wilson-Wolf G-Rex gas-permeable bioreactor) to generate CAR-T cells against FGFR4, a promising target for pediatric sarcoma. Selected CD4+CD8+ cells were stimulated with Miltenyi TransAct, transduced with lentiviral vector, and cultured out to 14 days in TexMACS media with serum and IL2.ResultsAs expected, there were significant differences in overall expansion, with bag cultures yielding the greatest fold-expansion while the Prodigy had the lowest (481-fold vs. 84-fold, respectively; G-Rex=175-fold; Xuri=127-fold; average of N=4 donors). Interestingly, we also observed considerable differences in CAR-T phenotype. The Prodigy had the highest percentage of CD45RA+CCR7+ stem/central memory (Tscm)-like cells at 46%, while the bag and G-Rex cultures had the lowest at 16% and 13%, respectively (average N=4 donors). In contrast, the bag, G-Rex, and Xuri cultures were enriched for CD45RO+CCR7- effector memory cells and also had higher expression of exhaustion markers PD1 and LAG3. Gene clustering analysis using a CAR-T panel of 780 genes revealed clusters of genes enriched in Prodigy/de-enriched in bag, and vice versa. We are currently in the process of evaluating T cell function.ConclusionsThis is the first study to our knowledge to benchmark these widely-used bioreactor systems in terms of cellular output, demonstrating that variables inherent to each platform (such as such as nutrient availability, gas exchange, and shear force) significantly influence the final CAR-T cell product. Whether enrichment of Tscm-like cells in the final infusion product correlates with response rate, as has been demonstrated in the setting of CD19 CAR-Ts, remains to be seen and may differ for FGFR4 CAR-Ts and other solid tumors. Overall, our study outlines methods to identify the optimal manufacturing process for future CAR-T cell therapies.

Abstract:

CONSTRUCTING DRIVERS. Cultures, practices and discourses on automobility within Milanese driving schools (Abstract) My research project aims at better understanding the relationship between politics, materiality and cultural representations through empirical case studies of the car and its drivers. The impact of cars on society does not happen "naturally", but is the result of specific historical and cultural conditions. Technologies, artefacts, and objects are means of communication that transcend their instrumental uses. They are like texts which carry the creators’ predefined perspective, and users’ narratives and interpretations (Wajcman 2000). The car is a culturally embedded - and historically determined - object that plays an important role in shaping identities, subcultures and life styles. The car strongly impacts everyday life of people and social organisation (Cresswell 2006; Urry 2007; Redshaw 2008). Looking at the processes of modernisation and the resulting transformations that characterised the 20th century, the central role played by the car can be observed in both macro (industrialisation, consumption) and micro (organisation of everyday life) spheres of social life (Gartman 2003). The car was the symbolic object of the economic boom unfolding in Italy, and not only, during the 1950s and 1970s (Paolini 2007). It moulded the dreams of freedom and adventure of whole generations; it modified the way in which people interpret their time, particularly leisure time; it partly contributed to the female emancipation that enabled women to move more autonomously in the public domain. My PhD explores the politics of the car and its impacts on forms of contemporary everyday urban mobility. If we want to take seriously the idea of a post-car future, we need an informed and instructive understanding of the values and needs manifest in car culture, as well as a deeper knowledge of the cultural assumptions and sources of power that sustain automobility. We need a change in cultural attitudes toward the car and in the identities produced and reproduced by the system of automobility in order to design truly sustainable and alternative forms of mobility. The politics of the car is not simply a set of embodied ideas or a linguistic formation but can be interpreted as a social practice that has material effects in making the world and societal development appear as natural and obvious (Howart 2000). The necessity of the car is produced and reproduced through everyday life practices, material interactions and experiences. We might say that this process is constituted inside language considering that meanings and meaningful practices are constructed within and through discourse (Hall 1997). With the increasingly stronger discourses on hypermobility and automobility as a backdrop, I explored the interconnections between popular culture and choices of mobility. The aim of my research is to answer the question “How is the politics of the car culturally produced and embodied in everyday life practices?” through looking at the process of drivers’ social construction. Despite the symbolic importance of cars in everyday life, the processes through which people become drivers and the meanings and expectations associated with these processes are virtually neglected topics, especially in the Italian context. My PhD explores some of the cultural dimensions that characterise the transition from passenger to driver, as well the practice of driving seeing as a meaningful material interaction between humans and cars. I do so with reference to social, environmental and gender issues. My argument is supported by an empirical case study of the process of drivers’ social construction in which particular interpretations of automobility and cars are produced, reproduced and (re-)confirmed. The research methodology that best supports the objectives of this study is qualitative. Drawing from a diversity of sources, I consider in my analysis interpretations, narratives and beliefs produced around car cultures and the practice of driving. Applying the Weberian concept of “verstehen” I have done ethnographic studies using qualitative techniques such as observations, non-structured and semi-structured interviews.

Abstract:

Set within the context that the world’s population is ageing at an unprecedented rate, it is argued that care of the elderly, and their everyday lived experiences are poised to become prominent concerns. In the shadow of this, the ageing population poses a myriad of challenges not only for the elderly but also for policy makers who put in place systems for the provision of services within residential care homes. By virtue, given that communities of elderly consumers voices are often muted within many academic analyses of social policy and service provision this study illuminates and distils communities of elderly consumers understandings of residential care homes. Given the absence of suitable literature within the fields of marketing and interpretive consumer research, this study turns to the sociological and anthropological literature of Hall and Jefferson (1976) and Levi-Strauss (1966). In doing so, communities of elderly consumers within residential care homes can be theorised as a cultural community of ‘bricoleurs’ within a ‘cultural map of meaning’. Furthermore, viewed through this lens, such bricoleurs can be seen to understand their meaningful everyday lived experiences within, and through, the use of ‘bricolage’. Emanating from eight existential-phenomenological interviews, a rich picture emerges wherein bricoleurs understandings of residential care homes can be seen to be embedded not only within, but also through, such things as the body, leisure trips, noise disturbances, death, large items of furniture, small hand-sized objects, mobility aids, quality of care and social interaction. Moreover, in the light of the resultant interpretations common themes can be seen to emerge within communities of bricoleurs social and material understandings of residential care homes, namely the notion of cultures of dependency, trauma and comfort. This research contributes to marketing knowledge in that it argues that communities of ‘elderly bricoleurs’ within residential care homes can be seen to be held together by unique understandings of cultures of dependency, trauma and comfort. Furthermore, it is also argued that elderly bricoleurs address themselves to a relatively limited amount of bricolage that enables them to keep alive actual, desired, imagined and fictional community ties. Furthermore, the reality and efficacy of cultural communities of elderly bricoleurs seems to depend on their ability to address ‘whatever is to hand’ (Levi-Strauss, 1966) in order to construct and understand their cultural maps of meaning within residential care homes.

Abstract:

The literature review in this thesis is an exploration of the recent emphasis in policy on the equality of mental health services for minority ethnic clients, with a focus on cultural competence models in clinical psychology. The review is based on a textual analysis of a policy document to consider whether cultural competence is a promotion or restriction of equality. The policy and models of cultural competence were found to employ essentialist definitions that could be an issue in developing appropriate and relevant services. It is argued that a context-specific and flexible interpretation of culture is required. The empirical research examines clinical psychological discourses about working with minority ethnic clients. It discusses an interview study and a group discussion study conducted among clinical psychologists. Drawing on discourse analysis this research examines the interpretative repertoires and discursive strategies that psychologists use in their accounts of working with minority ethnic clients, and how these construct a particular version of cultural competence. In the interviews, an interpretative framework in terms of 'social context' involved a consideration of the client's cultural background, and an interpretative framework of 'individual context' was considered to be a way of formulating the client's own interpretation of cultural background. In the group discussion, the key interpretative framework was the 'individual/curious' repertoire, which also focused on understanding cultural background from the client's interpretation. It is shown that in using these repertoires the psychologists' construction of cultural competence oscillates between a risk of reifying minority ethnic groups and a risk of neglecting issues such as ethnic discrimination. Based upon the literature and empirical parts, the reflective part of this thesis considers the researchers orientation to the research, in terms of epistemology, and as a minority ethnic researcher conducting research on the subject of minorities.

This dissertation explores how family and marriage relationships vary according to the culture in which they occur. Based on the individualism/collectivism framework about cultural variations in familial beliefs across countries, I study three topics of family and marriage relationships across cultures. In the first study, I examine how 17 member countries of Organisation of Economic and Co-operation and Development (OECD) differ culturally in older adults' preference for family elder care. I find that older adults from countries with more traditional values that emphasize the importance of a strong parent-child tie are more likely to prefer family care rather than formal care than those from more secular-rational countries with less emphasis on the parent-child tie; the cultural difference gets smaller at a higher level of individual family income. In the second study, I select China as a representative of the collectivist culture, and look into how the collectivist culture and older parents' filial beliefs shape the intergenerational relationship in China. I find that patrilocal and patrilineal traditions are still prevail in China. A highly cohesive intergenerational relationship people idealize in the collectivist culture is more common between older parents and married sons, and least common between older parents and married daughters. In the third study, I compare an individualist society, the U.S., and China, a collectivist society to test whether marriage also isolates people from their informal social network in China as observed in the U.S. I find that marriage does not isolate but integrates people into their informal social network in China, while marriage isolate people in the U.S. The three studies present new evidence on how marriage and family experiences differ due to different cultural beliefs about family, and under what conditions the cultural influences are weakened or reinforced.

Abstract:

Culture is a multifaceted, complex process which consists of knowledge, art, morals, customs, skills and habits. Based on this point of view of Tylor, we can say that the culture is the human in the society, his learning styles and the technical or artistic products that originate from these learning styles, in other words, the content. In antropology it is argued that when the concept of culture is considered as a component in a social system, the combination of the social and cultural areas form the socio-cultural system. Approaches that handle culture within the socio-cultural system are functionalism (Malinowski), structural-functionalism (Radliffe-Brown), historical-extensionist (Kluckhohn, Krober), environmental adaptive (White), while the approaches that treat culture as a system of thought are cognitive (Goodenough), structural (Levi Strauss) and symbolic (Geertz) approaches. In addition to these approaches that evaluate cultures specific to communities, another definition is made according to the learning time: Margeret Mead, Cofigurative Culture. In order to evaluate today’s societies in terms of culture, we are observing a new culture which has cofigurative features under the influence of convergent technologies (mobile, cloud technology, robots, virtual reality): Digital Culture. This study aims to discuss the characteristics of the digital culture, which is observed after the theoretic approaches that define different cultures in cross-cultural communication (Hofstede’s Cultural Dimension and Cofigurative Culture) and called as network society by Manual Castells and accelerated during the Covid19 pandemic, in other words the common communication culture. Common cultural features will be studied through methods of semiology and text analysis upon digital contents which are starting to take hold of cross-cultural communication, a comparison between cross-cultural communication and communicative ecology will be made, the alteration in the cultural features of the society will be examined via visual and written findings obtained.

Abstract:

Los eventos culturales masivos son celebraciones multitudinarias organizadas que generan un impacto en la ciudad que los produce apropiándose del lugar donde se insertan. Estas festividades de expresión popular tradicional construyen parte de los modelos y la organización de estas ciudades. ICOMOS y UNESCO, acuerdan que el patrimonio material e inmaterial están unidos y el patrimonio intangible está constituido por aquella parte invisible que reside en el espíritu mismo de las culturas. Un sistema regional puede estimular la economía de ciudades, reafirmar sus rasgos identitarios y puede llegar a ser patrimonio de la cultura nacional. Las estrategias de intervención urbanística y regional contribuyen a una visión y un diseño integral de espacios urbanos, y propiciar un menor impacto para conservar la historia del lugar y del evento. Principales puntos: conformación del marco teórico, el análisis de casos existentes y la construcción de estrategias para lugares del análisis. Mass cultural events are organized mass celebrations that generate an impact in the city that produces them appropriating the place where are inserted. These festivities of traditional popular expression construct part of the models and the Organization of these cities. ICOMOS and UNESCO, say that the tangible and intangible heritages are united and intangible heritage is constituted by that invisible part that resides in the spirit of cultures itself. In a regional system they can stimulate the economy of urban centers, reaffirm their identity features and may be heritage of national culture. Urban and regional intervention strategies contribute to a vision and a comprehensive design of urban spaces, and lead to less impact to preserve the history of the place and the event. Main points: conformation of the theoretical framework, the analysis of previous cases and the construction of strategies for the target place.

Full text

Abstract:

The proliferation and differentiation of human megakaryocytes in liquid culture has been obtained using cryopreserved light density blood cell concentrates from chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients. These cryopreserved leukocytes concentrates contain a large number of viable granulo-monocytic, erythroid and megakaryocytic committed stem cells. A high number of spontaneous megakaryocytic colonies was observed in semisolid cultures plated with the CML leukocytes concentrates. A liquid culture system using RPMI 1640 supplemented with 20% human plasma (HP) has been defined where maturing megakaryocytes make up 20 to 60% of the total cells after 14 days of incubation. The same cell suspension cultured in medium supplemented with 20% foetal calf serum (FCS) showed poor megakaryocytic cell development. The megakaryocytic nature of the cells produced in HP supplemented cultures was confirmed by cytological studies and indirect immunofluorescence labeling using monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) against membrane platelet GPIb and Ilbllla, and intracellular antigens like fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor.Ploidy of the cultured cells was studied after labeling with propidium iodide and the DNA fluorescence determined using the fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACSIV). Peaks of 8N, 16N and 32N cells were observed from HP supplemented cultures representing about 20% of the cells reacting with a GP11b111 a MoAb, while very few cells greater than 4N were observed in FCS supplemented cultures. The megakaryocytes produced in HP cultures could be further enriched by cell sorting on the FACSIV after labeling with an anti-IIbIIIa MoAb. Depending on the initial megakaryocytic concentration of the cells cultured, one to 2 é 106 megakaryocytes per hour could be harvested. Thus, cryopreserved CML blood stem cell concentrates seem to offer a reproducible source of human megakaryocytes which retain their capacity to proliferate and differentiate in liquid cultures supplemented with human plasma. These megakaryocytes can be used for the study of platelet glycoprotein biosynthesis as well as the regulation of megakaryocytopoiesis.

Abstract:

Online learning programs have become more accessible to a wide range of learners all over the world. This raises the question whether differences between various groups are taken into consideration in the design of these programs. While new devices and technologies make learning more readily available, ignoring cultural issues can lead to a total breakdown of communication. This study aims to investigate how issues of culture should influence instructional design of online courses. Globalization of education led to a need to consider cultural diversity as an important factor in the adoption and effectiveness of learning. This is enhanced by the fact that e-learning breaks time and space barriers, being available to students from any geographical area, interacting outside the boundaries of a common context. Learners have the opportunity to study anytime, anywhere. Universities are becoming more open to international students; some are setting branch campuses in different parts of the world. Multinational organizations have offices in different countries, staffed with local employees, who need to work in a similar way with their colleagues all over the world. Interdisciplinary teams are required to work together and find a common language. In all cases, instructional designers are creating courses for people from a different culture than their own, and often for heterogeneous audiences coming from a multitude of cultures, each student needing to transfer what they learn into their own context. The paper defines culture, starting from Hofstede’s five dimensions characterizing national cultures (Hofstede, 1996), and argues that in the context of online learning the notion of culture should be extended to include other cultural models, apart from the national one, such as organizational culture and professional groups culture (Schein, 1990). Acknowledging that culture means more than nationality, and individuals often belong to more than one culture (Collis, 1999) helps paint a complex situation which the instructional designer must deal with. Given the complexity of the context presented above, the present study investigates how do models of instructional design take into account cultural diversity, by answering the following research questions: • Should instructional design take into account cultural aspects at all? • Should instructional design strive for a culture-free product? • How can the instructional design model incorporate awareness of cultural issues? • What are the implications for instructional designers and their professional development? A fairly wide range of responses and models are suggested by the literature (and are detailed in the full paper), but the responsibility of choosing and applying them lies with the instructional designer. Since culture is a relatively new concern in the field of instructional design, few of these models were applied in contexts significant enough in order to generate solid recommendations or to indicate an obvious choice. This situation makes the decision of instructional designers even more difficult. The voices of instructional designers are also presented, combining the results of the study did by Rogers, Graham and Mayes (2007) into instructional designers creating courses for students from various national cultures, with the results of a case study research conducted by the author regarding instructional designers working for learners from various organizational and professional cultures. Recommendations into further research connected to the issues identified conclude the paper.

Full text

Abstract:

Culturemes are the markers of the source culture, which can reach the reader in the target language only through the ability of the translator, who must, in fact, be a great connoisseur of the most hidden cultural details. For the transposition of a foreign culture into a new culture, for a proper communication between them, a loan is needed, retrieval and processing of information so that it is accepted. The motivation behind this study is to provide an overview of how to approach culturemes in the translation of works of contemporary Chinese literature in Romanian, works characterized by great linguistic and extra-linguistic generosity. In order to achieve this goal, we followed the stages of identifying the culturemes from thirty-one Chinese contemporary novels translated in Romanian; followed by creating a corpus based on fourteen categories and five equivalence methods to ensure the cultural equivalence, coherence and homogeneity of Chinese works recreated for the Romanian reader. Finally, we performed an in-depth study of a selection of culturemes from each category, with the aim of showing their distribution in the Romanian translation of Chinese fiction. The study intends to provoke but also to help raise the awareness that translations are not only transpositions (by this we mean moving from one linguistic register to another without operating the text as part of a cultural whole, approaching it externally to all of its sources of influence from the culture in which it has been created) of a work in another language, but they have the primary role of enriching knowledge about one's culture, civilization, literature – i.e. China’s cultural heritage for the present study. Culturally-aware literary translations are the most effective and most stable manner of intercultural exchange, of international prosperity of a culture, of understanding and acknowledging the cultural specifics of one nation. The intertextual references – the culturemes – studied, are part, as will be presented, of all cultural spheres, from those denoting the daily life of the Chinese, the food and basic needs, to those denoting holidays, toponymy, units of measurement, history, but also those that are politically motivated, while also spiritual, subtle, erudite, which only close study, extensive knowledge and diligent work can drive the translator to find and transfer them to the target reader.

Abstract:

In the present research, we examined the extent to which explanations of desirable or undesirable outcomes (grades) can account for the self-efficacy of female college students from two societies with dissimilar cultural traditions: The United States of America, which is characterized by a dominant individualistic culture, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which has a dominant collectivist culture. A matched-pairs design (N=560; 280 matched pairs) was used to ensure that students’ self-efficacy levels were equated between cultural groups. We found cultural differences in the choice of explanations and in the extent to which explanations contribute to self-efficacy values. These findings are relevant to the development of curricula and instructional methods that are intended to prepare students from different cultures for academic success.

Abstract:

ISO 9241-110 describes seven dialog principles that should be applied in human computer interaction design. In this paper, some ideas are presented regarding the question whether these dialog principles are valid in general with the same strength or when used in different cultures around the world if there are differences in their applicability and subsequently how this question can be tackled. First, the influence of culture on the user’s interaction with the system and on usability and usability engineering is elucidated. Second, cultural differences and methods to describe cultural differences such as cultural models are presented. Third, the analysis of the influence of culture on dialog principles is exemplified by the dialogue principle "suitability of the task". Finally, the results are discussed and challenges are identified. The ideas in this paper pave the way for deeper research in this area.

Abstract:

There are close relationships between the cultural structures of societies and residential areas. The place where the society chooses to live and the ways it is organized is an expression of the cultural structure. Traditional houses are accepted as the most obvious indicator of this situation. One of the ways of preserving cultural sustainability today is to read the design principles of these houses correctly. Culture is about what kind of environment people live in and how they live. Human behaviors are based on cultural references. Religion, view of life and perceptions of the environment are both dialectically shaped culture and shaped by culture. Culture is about where and how human meets his needs throughout his life. It can be said that culture is one of the basic factors that direct human behavior and life. Therefore, the cultural embedding of sustainability thought is important in shaping the world in which future generations will live. Regarding various cultures in the literature; the structure of the society, their way of life and how they shape their places of residence, etc. there are many studies. The riches that each culture possesses are considered to be indisputable. These important studies are mostly based on an in-depth analysis of that culture, concentrating on a single specific culture. In this study, it is aimed to make a more holistic analysis by examining more than one culture. Thanks to this holistic perspective, it is thought that it will be possible to make inferences that can be considered as common to all societies. This study, which especially focuses on Asian and African societies, is the tendency of these societies to maintain their cultural structure compared to other societies. The reflections of cultural practices on residential spaces are examined through various examples. The dialectical structure of Berber houses, integration of Chinese houses with natural environmental references, Toroja houses associated with the genealogy in Indonesia, etc. examples will be examined in the context of cultural sustainability in this study. With this holistic approach, where the basic philosophy of cultural sustainability can be obtained, important references can be obtained in the design of today's residences. This paper was produced from an incomplete PhD dissertation named Evaluation of Cultural Sustainability in the Application of House Design at Yildiz Technical University, Social Sciences Institution, Art and Design Program

Abstract:

Cultural systems are grouped into high culture, folk culture and popular culture. High cultural, scientific, philosophical, aesthetic information, etc. Folk culture is based on folklore information from the past day. Popular culture represents the degraded and dissolved state of traditional cultures, various subculture areas, which have failed after modernization efforts. The aim of the study is to reveal the influence of young musical genres on the entrepreneurial tendencies. The first method used in the research is the questionnaire survey for senior students studying in the university business and economics. According to the survey data, questionnaires were distributed out of a total of 350 students, only to the evaluation of the survey of 311 eligible. The most important findings of the research can be summarized as follows. While 6,1% of the "youth of higher education" who participated in the survey preferred "high culture product" music; 10,6% were "folk culture products" music; and 83,3% preferred "popular culture product" music. The "entrepreneurship tendencies", which are the main aim of the subjects of "education for young people" receiving basic courses in economics and business administration, were found to be 131,5 (Min 36, Max.180). According to the research findings, in the direction of the basic assumption of the study, "entrepreneurial tendencies" of students who prefer music, which is a high cultural product, are higher than others. The sort of "entrepreneurial tendencies" is followed by popular genres and popular music genres.

Abstract:

Algunas ciudades históricas costeras, con cierto potencial de desarrollo turístico y arraigadas tradiciones culturales, necesitan una planificación adecuada para afrontar dicho desarrollo. La sobreexplotación de la franja costera impulsa el deterioro de los valores que la hacen diferentes de otros territorios, razón básica de su posible atractivo turístico. Así, bajo la consideración de que la cultura local y el paisaje están intrínsecamente unidos, influencian el evolución de dichas ciudades y territorios y pueden ser la base de un desarrollo turístico ambiental y socialmente sostenible, se plantea el análisis, en los casos de Agaete y Alghero, de toda forma de expresión de la tradición histórica local para componer la imagen contemporánea de su cultura, donde el paisaje sea el elemento articulador de los espacios en los que esta cultura se desarrolla, permitiendo la comprensión de su ordenación física a través del territorio y su posterior puesta en valor. Some coastal historic cities with certain potential of tourism development and strong cultural traditions need a proper planning able to tackle such development. Overexploitation of the coastal strip drives the deterioration of the elements that make it different from other territories, basic reason for its possible tourist attraction. Local culture and landscape are inextricably linked, influence cities and territories development and can be the basis of an environmentally and socially sustainable tourism development. So, with Agaete and Alghero as cases of study, analysis of all forms of expression of the local, historical tradition will set the contemporary image of their culture, where landscapes articulate spaces in which this culture is developed, allowing to understand its territorial structure and its subsequent revaluation.

Full text

Abstract:

Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) can achieve positive biodiversity outcomes in a larger area than is covered by protected areas. But this requires OECMs to be better integrated into sustainable production systems in conjunction with protected areas. Good examples of productive social-ecological systems exist. Recognising potential OECMs requires recognising the cultures that make them possible. Recommendations: (i) fully recognise and support the role of culture in fostering interlinked human–nature relationships and nurturing biodiversity in production landscapes and seascapes; (ii) develop sustainable market mechanisms using landscape approaches that promote respect for local cultures and the rights of all stakeholders; (iii) apply good practices for empowering cultures to enhance long-term biodiversity outcomes; (iv) provide innovative incentives including capacity development to encourage local communities to manage their landscapes and seascapes for biodiversity conservation.

Full text

Abstract:

As observers to the intersectional fields of culture, education, and social change, Creative Generation witnessed the chosen organizational structure of “networks” come into vogue – particularly as smaller, community-based organizations have begun to participate in larger-scale, collaborative initiatives. In almost all examples, the individuals and organizations involved do their collaborative work through a “network,” using any number of connections and patterns. This qualitative inquiry sought to understand how applying Network Theory to organizational structures can cultivate the conditions to support young creatives. Through literature and conducting interviews with leaders of diverse networks in the arts and cultural education fields, this project provides an overview of Network Theory and examines examples of various models. This report proposes the following set of provocations for the field to interrogate the use of Network Theory in their projects’ implementation: strong connections between the network and its participants, shared power among network leadership and participants, clear expectations about funding, and specific role for young creatives in decision-making.

Este documento resulta dun traballo iniciado pola Sección de Patrimonio e Bens Culturais do Consello da Cultura Galega (CCG) en outubro de 2018 e que tiña como obxectivo trazar as liñas xerais que guiarían o desenvolvemento dun foro baixo o título «Patrimonio e Sociedade». A intención era organizar este evento ao longo do ano 2020 e encamiñalo cara á reflexión e o establecemento dunhas directrices básicas arredor da xestión integral do patrimonio cultural na nosa comunidade autónoma. Finalmente, por causa do estado de alarma que vivimos no ano 2020, o foro adiouse 6 meses, prolongándose ata xuño de 2021 e rematando coa presentación deste documento. Nel plásmanse os motivos que levaron á súa realización, a estrutura, as temáticas, a calendarización e a súa metodoloxía. Inclúe tamén unha guía práctica resultante do traballo das mesas e outros materiais que se xeraron a partir das actividades desenvolvidas no transcurso do foro; en concreto, unha mesa política cos partidos que teñen representación no Parlamento de Galicia e unhas xornadas de presentación das conclusións.

Abstract:

This rapid review examines evidence on the lessons learned from initiatives aimed at embedding better understanding of cultural heritage protection within international monitoring, reporting and response efforts in conflict and protracted crisis. The report uses the terms cultural property and cultural heritage interchangeably. Since the signing of the Hague Treaty in 1954, there has bee a shift from 'cultural property' to 'cultural heritage'. Culture is seen less as 'property' and more in terms of 'ways of life'. However, in much of the literature and for the purposes of this review, cultural property and cultural heritage are used interchangeably. Tangible and intangible cultural heritage incorporates many things, from buildings of globally recognised aesthetic and historic value to places or practices important to a particular community or group. Heritage protection can be supported through a number of frameworks international humanitarian law, human rights law, and peacebuilding, in addition to being supported through networks of the cultural and heritage professions. The report briefly outlines some of the main international legal instruments and approaches involved in cultural heritage protection in section 2. Cultural heritage protection is carried out by national cultural heritage professionals, international bodies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) as well as citizens. States and intergovernmental organisations may support cultural heritage protection, either bilaterally or by supporting international organisations. The armed forces may also include the protection of cultural heritage in some operations in line with their obligations under international law. In the third section, this report outlines broad lessons on the institutional capacity and politics underpinning cultural protection work (e.g. the strength of legal protections; institutional mandates; production and deployment of knowledge; networks of interested parties); the different approaches were taken; the efficacy of different approaches; and the interface between international and local approaches to heritage protection.
