Abstract:

With the emergence of baseball as America’s national sporting pastime, Camden civic and business leaders decided in 1881 to organize a professional team. This article examines the brief but spectacular history of the Albert Merritt Base Ball Club, one of the best minor league teams of the nineteenth century. Examined are the social and economic reasons for organizing a professional team, the unique founding of the club, the construction of a playing facility, and team finances including player salaries. The 1883 Merritt, which advanced every player to the major leagues, was a juggernaut, dominating the inaugural season of the Inter-State Association, one of two officially organized minor leagues. But despite success on the field with a 27-8 (.771) record, the team suddenly disbanded on July 21. The case study of the promise and perils of professional baseball as a civic and community enterprise culminates in a discussion of the club’s demise because of internal financial problems and inability to compete with two major league teams across the Delaware River in Philadelphia.

Abstract:

Recent research finds that there is a growing class gap in levels of civic engagement among young whites in the United States. Much of the literature on civic engagement focuses on individual– and family–level factors related to civic engagement. Our evidence suggests that it is critically important to consider variation and change in community–level factors as well, and that such factors may play a key role in facilitating or inhibiting civic engagement. To explore the puzzle of the growing class gap among young whites in civic engagement, we conducted two–generation in–depth qualitative interviews in white working class neighborhoods in Philadelphia and its inner suburbs, with companion interviews among Philadelphia–area youth living in middle class communities. We complement these interviews with quantitative measures of institutional and demographic changes in these neighborhoods over time. Our evidence suggests that a withdrawal of institutional investments in working class neighborhoods (and relative to middle class neighborhoods), along with an increase in population turnover and racial and ethnic heterogeneity, which has disproportionately impacted working class neighborhoods as well, may be important factors in understanding the growing class gap in civic engagement among white youth.

Abstract:

This study examined civic-mindedness among a sample of social work educators, community practitioners and new graduates. Using a web-based survey, researchers administered Hatcher’s (2008) Civic-Minded Professional scale. Results indicated that traditional and field faculty were more civic-minded than new graduates and other practitioners. Social work educators who focused on raising civic awareness in courses were more civic-minded than colleagues. New graduates who had participated in club service events were more civic-minded; however, there was no significant differences between groups based on number of community service courses completed. Social workers, whether faculty or not, who had participated in collaborative research were more civic-minded. The authors conclude that how social workers view their commitment to civic engagement has implications. Social workers need to be vigilant in our commitment to well-being in society. Intentional practices could be implemented to strengthen the partnership among groups.

Abstract:

After the Second World War, state-building and its modernization linked to population education. During the renewal of the country, there were political, social, economic, and cultural revolutions. The official cultural politics of the young socialist state aimed at encouraging as many inhabitants as possible to participate actively in cultural and artistic production. One form of new cultural and social engagement was the founding of cultural societies and associations in cities across the country. The Club of Cultural Workers in Kragujevac was founded on November 29th, 1951, and existed until 1962. The Club was a cultural and educational institution, which organized, helped, and introduced education, cultural and entertainment activities, and the social life of the population. The main sectors of the Club's activities were mass education, general education, and publishing activities with informing and placing certain content and ideological and political messages. The Club encouraged work on preserving and consolidating the achievements of the People's Revolution and building socialism. The forms of activities of the Club were different according to the needs of the population: lectures, literary evenings, seminars, courses, meetings, discussions, visits, cultural and artistic events, concerts, theater performances and talks about plays, exhibitions of various kinds, illustrated newspapers and sports activities. In socially and politically controlled circumstances, the Club of Cultural Workers in Kragujevac provided the civic family with a wide choice and the opportunity to choose cultural content, civic values , and innovations in communication, behavior, and education.

Abstract:

The Fairmount Water Works of Philadelphia has many stories to tell that span its rich 200-year history. It speaks to the history of technology in America, urban water systems, public health and civic architecture. Although struggling with the increasing impact of climate change, it still has a significant role to play today as a heritage site and as an iconic expression of architectural beauty, civic pride, environmental education and protection and the stewardship of water for all.

Abstract:

Faced with the need to educate women collectively about politics and government, Jane Croly established the General Federation of Womenâ€™s Clubs (GFWC) in 1890. Based on archival documents from the GFWC, this article seeks to address the following research questions: What do the patriotic pageants sponsored by the GFWC illustrate about civic education in the Americanization era? What can we learn about civic education and the use of particular rhetorical forms from twentieth-century pageants and organizations such as the GFWC? By exploring the organizationâ€™s contribution to civic education alongside other pageants in the same era, it is possible to better contextualize the competing histories of civic education for ourselves and our students. This article also focuses on the patriotic pageants that club women used to develop a model of social change rooted in education, which had contradictory results. The GFWC both supported and resisted whiteness as the position of authority in its promotion of pageants. Embracing the contradictions of pageants and their role in civic education in the Americanization era allows for a more nuanced and accurate picture of the history of civic education.

Abstract:

Nowadays the sport related civic organizations form a special segment within the civic sector. In particular, the current situation of these organizations – who are operating in rural settlements – should be considered as special. In rural settlements the local sport related civic organizations by all means could be justified to make a difference on the basis of an essential aspect, that how they secure the funds from the external sources, and because of certain aspects it is closely related with the local politics. The purpose of our study was to investigate through the example of a small rural town in Hungary, that what kind of subsidies can the locally registered sport related civic organizations can get by focusing on the local football club’s results and the subsidies which were granted to the club between 2007 and 2015. We were also curious about, that is there any possible connection between the club’s performance and these certified subsidies. JEL CODE: L31, Z20, H71, D72

Abstract:

This article discusses the growth of rugby as the most popular pastime in Swansea for most of the period 1870–1914. It examines how the game shaped an inclusive civic identity from the 1890s and how this was layered alongside other identities. It also examines how social class and gender were negotiated during the game's rise. Swansea's middle class stamped its authority on local government and voluntary institutions and the town's rugby club was among the foremost of these institutions by the end of the 1870s. It is argued that sport offered a unique opportunity for new civic alliances.

Abstract:

How can we return to a broader notion of education? There is a currently a need to focus on the public purpose of schooling. The notion of leading with public purpose derives from the progressive idea that human beings have bot hthe desire and capacity to make the world a better place. Educational leadership should engage individuals in the educational and civic community and assist in the bettering of public life and public schooling.

Abstract:

Facing economic changes and disinvestment, powerful actors in post–World War II American cities attempted to define the city as a space of public culture to confront demographic shifts, suburban growth, and the breakdown of community. Some civic actors, especially in older Eastern cities, looked to a nostalgic and heroic past where a theme of American identity became salient as a result of the Cold War and rapid cultural and economic changes in the postwar era. To achieve urban growth, elites argued for urban redevelopment policies based on historical themes and imagery. We examine the sociopolitical history of Philadelphia's Independence Hall redevelopment project (1948–1959) and the development of the adjacent Society Hill neighborhood (1959–1964). We offer the framework of memory politics—political contests over the use of shared community history—to examine how growth coalitions implement plans for economic growth, tourism, and civic allegiance. Philadelphia, particularly during the postwar era, exemplifies how heritage, politics, and place dynamically collide and direct urban development.

Abstract:

Member-based civic associations, or citizen groups, have two crucial roles in American democracy. They advocate for members' interests in the public arena, but also operate as Tocquevillian “schools of democracy” linking citizens to politics and equipping them with the skills of democratic citizenship. Yet scant research has examined the interrelationships of these two roles. Does the work that civic associations do in developing democratic participants enhance the work they do advocating for members' interests in the public arena? We bring together two previously disparate strands of research on civic associations by arguing that a key factor affecting the political presence of civic associations is leadership quality. We focus on the relationship of leadership quality to political presence, using data from a unique 2003 study of 226 local entities of the Sierra Club. We show that organizations with more skilled and committed leaders have higher levels of political presence. This contrasts with previous research that has focused primarily on community context and resources as explanatory factors. This study shows that political presence is related to the extent to which leaders develop their skills and demonstrate commitment to the organization.

Abstract:

In matters of twenty-first century public policy, age-old questions surrounding freedom of conscience and both personal and civic liberties remain in perennial tension with the necessary demands for civic conformity, custom, and consensus. These questions were also of critical importance in early eighteenth-century colonial America. In the first half of the eighteenth century, a hotbed of religious, intellectual, and cultural diversity was fomenting considerable conflict in Philadelphia, setting the stage for a vital debate over the nature and parameters of religious liberty and freedom of conscience in the colonies. Within this context of the eighteenth-century religious and cultural landscape of colonial Philadelphia, this article will examine a debate between Jonathan Dickinson and Benjamin Franklin whereby two distinctly different interpretations of religious liberty and freedom of conscience were established. Left to themselves, these two interpretations lead to sharply divergent trajectories. Nonetheless, by considering these two viewpoints in dialogue with one another, the Franklin–Dickinson pamphlet debate can serve as a useful tool for conceptualizing twenty-first century public policy issues related to freedom of conscience: policies that preserve the essential aspects of what constitutes each person’s humanity while simultaneously respecting the broader exigencies for public order and responsible policy in the aggregate.

Abstract:

To understand harm in breathing spaces requires analysis of the ways in which structural violence is built into technologies of environmental governance; a script that cannot recognize the dynamic relationships between bodies, atmospheres, and the industrial practices that condition both. In this paper, I show how community members in a small, Philadelphia neighborhood came to understand that toxic air is made permissible through late industrial political techniques. One of these techniques is a civic engagement platform, designed to more efficiently and transparently connect the public with municipal agencies, and recommended to community members as a means to address atmospheric hazards. Despite initial public optimism, the City’s civic engagement platform failed to address environmental hazards. Rather than abandon the platform, however, community members appropriated the City’s digital infrastructure to run an environmental reporting project. Drawing on the work of STS scholars, I describe the community’s work as civic infrastructuring, a sociotechnical process that utilized public infrastructure to better understand government failure and build community capacity to engage the administration, even if on late industrial terms.

Abstract:

This study contributes to the service learning (SL) literature by providing new empirical evidence of learning from a problem-based SL research project conducted in a developmental research methods course. Two sections of the course taught in a traditional manner were compared to two sections of the course taught with an integrated SL project involving a local Boys & Girls Club. Pre- and posttest scores of the groups were compared in regard to content knowledge, civic engagement, and perceptions of the course. Results indicated that the SL students outperformed the control courses in learning outcomes. Civic engagement did not significantly change over the course of the semester. Student preference data indicated that most enjoyed the SL course, found it helpful, and thought it contributed to their understanding of the course material. The findings are related to past research and theoretical underpinnings that support SL.

Abstract:

The article is dedicated to the revelation of forms and methods of interaction of school and local self-government when implementing schoolchildren's civic education. The main forms and methods of this interaction are: support of the activities of socially active schools aimed at providing the academic, health maintaining, entertaining and social services and providing training programs for people's professional activity, ensuring the implementation of projects and programs in civic education (in particular, Swiss-Ukrainian project "Development of Citizenship Competences in Ukraine", Ukrainian project "Zero Waste School", youth project "Deputy quest" etc.), support of the activities of regional youth school organizations ("Youth Parliamentary Club", in particular), conducting actions on schoolchildren's civic education (for instance, "For a Clean Environment", "Citizen" etc.), organization and facilitation of the work of museums, holding children's festivals, regional contests dedicated to different educational and cultural problems, schoolchildren's competitions in subjects, competitions (tourism and local history, sporting, intellectual etc.), tournaments, festivals, games, meetings, excursions and exhibitions dedicated to important dates and events in the life of the country, its history, outstanding people and nature, seminar-practicum in youth civic education, production and distribution of information materials about native land. Due to above-mentioned forms and methods of interaction of school and local self-government, schoolchildren can take active part in community life, introduce non-standard, innovative approaches to solving the problems of local communities and modern managerial and information technologies in local government.

Abstract:

In his 1790 address to the Académie Française in Paris, Condorcet noted that every new generation has a tendency to accuse itself of being less civic-minded than previous cohorts. Two centuries later, this argument has once again regained front-page status. The debate is currently focused on the question of whether or not social capital and civic engagement are declining in Western societies. In his academic best-seller Bowling Alone, Robert Putnam argues that younger age cohorts, socialized in the prosperous economic conditions of the 1960s and onwards, are less inclined to engage in community life and in politics, and also less likely to trust their fellow citizens. By contrast, the ‘long civic generation’, born roughly between 1910 and 1940, is portrayed as much more motivated in these respects. They readily volunteer in community projects, read newspapers and take on more social responsibilities. In this view, a process of generational replacement is responsible for a steady decline of social capital and civic engagement in American society. As the long civic generation is replaced by younger age cohorts, the social capital stock of American communities slowly diminishes. The indicators used to substantiate this claim are numerous and diverse: measures for voter turnout, attendance of club meetings, generalized trust, the number of common family dinners, the number of card games played together, and even respect for traffic rules. All of these attitudes and behaviours, it is argued, depict a significant downward trend.Although Putnam is by far the most vocal of all scholars in the ‘decline of social capital’ choir, he certainly is not the only author describing an erosion of traditional societal relations.

In September of 1953, eight months before Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas would be decided, the Topeka Board of Education voted to abolish segregation in its schools. Some Topekans thought it curious that the school board would vote to abolish segregation when its case defending segregation was pending in the U.S. Supreme Court. When Edward Goss of the Topeka Civic Club asked the board why it hadn't waited for the Court's decision, board member Harold Conrad responded: ‘We feel that segregation is not an American practice.’

Kluczowym zagadnieniem jest opisanie relacji łączących poszczególne organy związku zawodowego: jego przewodniczącego, władze krajowe oraz klub parlamentarny. Dynamika funkcjonowania obozu solidarnościowego w tym okresie antycypowała konflikty, które doprowadziły ostatecznie do jego rozpadu. Artykuł oparty jest głównie na źródłach archiwalnych: dokumentacji Obywatelskiego Klubu Parlamentarnego oraz Krajowej Komisji Wykonawczej NSZZ „Solidarność”. The article analyses the background of the formation of Tadeusz Mazowiecki’s government and the internal discussions in the “Solidarity” camp preceding this event. The key issue is to describe the relationship between the various bodies of the trade union: its president, the national authorities and the parliamentary club. The dynamics of the functioning of the “Solidarity” camp in that period anticipated the conflicts, which eventually led to its disintegration. The article is mainly based on archival sources: the documentation of the Civic Parliamentary Club and the National Executive Committee of NSZZ (Independent Self-Governing Trade Union) “Solidarity”.

Abstract:

In the Slovakia are very many sports clubs that are civic associations. Within towns they are often as separate entity. Management of these sports clubs in the town is very specific. A town wants to have influence on these clubs, especially when the clubs are supported from municipal finance. In these paper we deal with possible management of clubs in the town within cooperation principle. We identified the main advantages, disadvantages, and points that are important for good established cluster of sports clubs in the town. Keywords: sport; club; cooperation; town; management

ABSTRACT:This article locates the ‘principal inn’ within the physical and cultural space of the eighteenth-century British town. The principal inn was the all-purpose venue for the sociable activities of polite society: from dining, drinking and conversing with friends to business deals, meetings of club and societies, legal proceedings, military musters, civic and religious proceedings. Through their central location, carefully designed interior spaces and refined material culture of furniture, fixtures and fittings, principal inns were key sites in the elite control of urban space, the enforcement of social hierarchies and the reinforcement of social values.

Abstract:

Prior studies have sought to understand how immigrants integrate into U.S. society, focusing on the ways in which local contexts and institutions limit immigrant incorporation. In this study, we consider how interactions among immigrants and U.S.-born within receiving communities contribute to the process of immigrant integration. We emphasize the extent to which immigrants perceive that they are welcome in their social environments and the downstream effects of those perceptions. Drawing on new representative survey data and in-depth interviews with first-generation Mexican and Indian immigrants in the Atlanta and Philadelphia metropolitan areas, we examine what constitutes feeling welcomed and how these perceptions are associated with immigrants’ interest and trust in the U.S.-born and with their civic participation. Our focus on two metropolitan areas with long-standing racialized dynamics, coupled with new waves of immigration, provides insights about the role of welcoming contexts in immigrant integration in the twenty-first century.

Abstract:

This paper considers a dimension of social life that has been largely neglected in the research literature on ageing, older men's involvement with informal associations. These affiliations represent an under-valued resource which may contribute to the quality of life of older men by facilitating social interaction and providing a context for continued social productivity. Using the British Household Panel Survey for 1999, we explore the engagement of men aged 65 or more years with civic groups (such as political parties or voluntary agencies), religious organisations, and sports and social clubs. Involvement in civic and religious groups and sports clubs is common among middle class older men, while social club membership is common among working class men. Only a small amount of these differences can be explained by variations in health, income and access to private transport. Compared with partnered older men, widowers are more likely to be involved with sports and social clubs, while men who are divorced or never married are less likely to be a member of any informal group.

Abstract:

La referencia constante al civismo es uno de los rasgos más distintivos de la historia urbana de Pereira. Al igual que en muchas ciudades colombianas, la ideología del civismo asume la necesidad de establecer una especie de simbiosis entre la ciudad, sus espacios públicos y sus ciudadanos, tanto en lo material como en lo espiritual. En el caso de Pereira se busca identificar los aspectos más relevantes del discurso cívico que desarrollaron entidades como la Sociedad de Mejoras y el Club Rotario a través de diferentes medios escritos, poniendo especial énfasis en los valores morales que debían exhibir los ciudadanos cívicos o los "ciudadanos de bien" de la ciudad, en el proceso de transformación y modernización vivido a lo largo del siglo XX.Palabras clave: discurso, civismo, prensa, clubes y sociedades, historia local, siglo XX.The discourse of civism in Pereira, or The “sacredness” of public matters during the 20th century AbstractThe constant reference to civism is one of the most distinct characteristics of the urban history of Pereira. Similar to many Colombian cities, the ideology of civism assumes that there is a need to establish a kind of symbiosis between the city, its public spaces, and its citizens, in material as well as spiritual matters. In the case of Pereira, the author seeks to identify the most relevant aspects of the civic discourse which developed entities like the Improvement Society and the Rotary Club, through different written means, putting special emphasis on the moral values which the civic citizens (or ciudadanos de bien) must have exhibited in the process of transformation and modernization experienced throughout the 20th century.

AbstractThis case study of youth cultural production in Cameroon examines how lycée students introduce idioms of tradition and the ancestral past into the lycée context by creating a club modelled on a dance society popular in the region. In pre-colonial rural Tupuriland, the gurna society was a key site for the moral–sexual socialisation of youth and a cultural–political arena where competition was staged between individuals and villages during death celebrations. Today, the gurna remains popular in Tupuri villages, though it has been recreated in urban contexts and modern institutions where members use its forms to mediate new social relations and modern realities. This paper explores the meanings, functions, and effects of the creation of the ‘Gurna Club’ by students in the Lycée de Doukoula, by examining students' Youth Day dance performances, vibrant song discourse, and nostalgia for earlier forms of indigenous socialisation (e.g. the gurna, youth initiation, and wrestling). By inserting the communal poetics of the gurna into the lycée, Tupuri youth seek to yoke multiple facets of their identity, making visible their desire to be gurna, even as they pursue their civic obligations as students. In creating the Gurna Club, students begin to participate in an increasing trend in Cameroon toward the use of idioms of parochialism (such as ethnically based elite associations) as strategies for garnering national power and recognition.

Abstract:

Ze względu na plebiscytowy charakter wyborów z czerwca 1989 roku przyszłych posłów i senatorów opozycyjnego Obywatelskiego Klubu Parlamentarnego de facto wyłoniono w kwietniu tego roku, kiedy zamykano listy wyborcze Komitetu Obywatelskiego. Te swoiste prawybory miały różny przebieg w różnych częściach kraju i nie były wolne od sporów (zarówno na szczeblu regionalnym, jak i na linii „teren”–Warszawa). W wyborach nie wystartowała zresztą część czołowych działaczy opozycji, idąc za przykładem Lecha Wałęsy. Ten ostatni był jednak mocno obecny w kampanii wyborczej osób reprezentujących Komitet Obywateski, których wyróżnikiem – w zdecydowanej większości – było wspólne zdjęcie z przewodniczącym Solidarności. Niewątpliwie ta nie zawsze w pełni demokratycznie wyłoniona solidarnościowa drużyna osiągnęła w wyborach sukces, obsadzając niemal wszystkie miejsca w Sejmie i Senacie PRL, które potencjalnie mogła zdobyć. Wybrani do parlamentu przedstawiciele opozycji utworzyli w nim Obywatelski Klub Parlamentarny. Due to the referendum nature of the elections in June 1989, the future deputies and senators of the opposition Civic Parliamentary Club were actually elected in April that year, when the election lists of the Citizens’ Committee were closed. These peculiar primary elections varied in different parts of the country and were not free from disputes (both at the regional level and on the “regional” – Warsaw line). Besides, some of the leading opposition activists did not take part in the elections, following the example of Lech Wałęsa. The latter, however, was strongly present in the election campaign of people representing the Citizens’ Committee, whose distinguishing feature – in the vast majority – was a photo taken with the leader of “Solidarity”. Undoubtedly, this “Solidarity” team, not always fully democratically elected, achieved success in the elections, filling almost all the seats in the Sejm and Senate of the Polish People’s Republic, which it could potentially win. The opposition representatives elected to the parliament formed there the Civic Parliamentary Club.

Abstract:

Abstract Background: Club cells are a type of bronchiolar epithelial cell that serve a protective and antimicrobial function in the lung. An epithelial cell population in adult human prostates was recently identified as sharing a similar transcriptomic profile and morphology to lung club cells. Club-like epithelial cells were identified in the prostatic urethra, collecting ducts, and rarely in the peripheral zone of normal organ donor prostates. However, we recently reported that cells expressing club cell markers (CP, LTF, MMP7, PIGR, SCGB1A1) are present in the peripheral zone of radical prostatectomy specimens. Here, expression of club cell markers was restricted to luminal epithelial cells in an inflammation-associated lesion termed proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA). We also demonstrated that these club-like cells within PIA express the same markers as intermediate cells, a proposed prostate cancer progenitor cell. We now aim to identify exogenous factors that drive the club cell phenotype in vitro. Our ultimate goal is to understand how club cell gene expression affects the oncogenic and metastatic potential of prostate epithelial cells. Methods: We characterized the expression of club cell genes in prostate cell lines (LNCaP, PREC, and PREC-AR-Myc) following exposure to inflammatory stimuli (TNFα, hydrogen peroxide, uropathogenic Escherichia coli) in vitro. We performed quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) to measure expression of club cell markers (LTF, MMP7, PIGR) and intermediate cell markers (AR, NKX3.1, SMOX). Additionally, we used chromogenic RNA in situ hybridization (RISH) to visualize LTF, MMP7, and PIGR expression following exposure to inflammatory stimuli. Results: We report that TNFα exposure in vitro increased expression of club cell genes (LTF, MMP7, PIGR). Surprisingly, TNFα exposure induced LTF expression in LNCaP cells, despite prior findings that LTF is silenced by CpG island hypermethylation in prostate cancer and in LNCaP cells. This finding was confirmed by both RT-qPCR and RISH. Additionally, we found that TNFα exposure altered intermediate cell markers (AR, NKX3.1, SMOX) expression consistent with the previously reported gene expression pattern of luminal epithelial cells in PIA. Conclusions: Overall, our results suggest that TNFα-mediated signaling drives the expression of club cell markers associated with lineage plasticity. Our next step will be to analyze inflammation-driven alterations to methylation and chromatin accessibility around loci associated with club cell genes, proton-oncogenes, and tumor suppressor genes.

Abstract:

Purpose: To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a civic engagement curriculum (encouraging Healthy Eating and Activity in Rural Towns [HEART] Club) designed to engage rural residents in improving their local food or physical activity environment. Design: Pre–post surveys and focus groups. Setting: Three rural Northeastern towns in the United States. Participants: Twenty-six rural residents (7-12 per town) recruited by local extension educators. Measures: Online surveys were used to assess outcomes related to feasibility (satisfaction) and effectiveness (knowledge, awareness, motivation, self-efficacy, and group efficacy for community change). Feasibility was also assessed through attendance logs, benchmark achievement records, and post-implementation focus groups. Analysis: Participant characteristics and feasibility measures were summarized using descriptive statistics. Pre–post changes in effectiveness outcomes were assessed using Wilcoxon signed rank tests. Focus group data were thematically examined to identify barriers to and facilitators of HEART Club progress. Results: Meeting attendance and program satisfaction were high (88% and 91%). Participants reported improvements in awareness; however, no other significant changes were observed. All HEART Clubs accomplished 3 or more project benchmarks after 6 months of implementation. Despite competing priorities and limited finances, groups effectively leveraged existing resources to achieve their goals. Important facilitators of success included stakeholder support, effective leadership, and positive group dynamics. Conclusion: These findings suggest that resident-driven initiatives that build upon local resources and establish feasible goals can successfully foster environmental change in rural communities.

Abstract:

The fact that cross-border forms of civic activism in Arab countries during the “Arab Spring” are similar is commonly attributed to their socio-cultural commonalities, which provide markers of their identities. The manifestation of this interaction, in the author's view, is the phenomenon of an implicit civil society that draws on the hidden springs of Islamic culture, but that functions in a completely different way. The author's attempt to describe it in this article using the example of Yemen includes three aspects: as an active participant in the watershed events of contemporary Yemeni social history; as a centre of civic strategies that fundamentally differentiate it from religious and political groupings; and as a mechanism for adapting the indigenous cultural identity of a society to new ideological environment. The article spans the period from its emergence at an early stage of modernisation in a deeply archaic society united under British colonial rule in the first third of the twentieth century, to its culmination in the early twenty-first century. The article is based on publications examining relevant cases from different historical and cultural regions of Yemen. Early examples include the “Nadi al-Islah al-Arabi al-Islami” Club in Aden and the Irshadist Movement in Hadramaut extremely active at the turn of 1930s when the national intelligentsia started to reach prominence and managed to convert reformist narrative from the religious frames to the public discourse. They have elaborated the number of tools inherent also to the modern implicit civil society performances like educational work through clubs, preference to dialog between rivals, high attention to maintaining the continuity of cultural traditions, etc. The recent diversity of this phenomenon is illustrated by the experience of the “Shabab al-Mumin” Club, founded in the mid-1990s in the Saada Governorate of northern Yemen, as well as the spontaneous urban youth committees that emerged during the 2011 uprising, which channelled a huge wave of social activism into peaceful activity. The aim of the article is to explore the phenomenon of implicit civil society using a descriptive method. The practical significance of the proposed approach lies in a better understanding of the reasons for the heightened permeability of the boundaries between civic and political activism so characteristic of such societies.

Abstract:

Abstract The Clinical Interpretation of Variants in Cancer (CIViC; www.civicdb.org) knowledgebase is a curation platform designed to capture evidence from the published literature which support or refute the significance of genomic variants in various cancer types. Since the launch of the beta user interface in 2014, this knowledgebase has undergone substantial evolution and redesign to support the needs of the clinical and research communities. Significant work has been done by the community to release guidelines and resources to support cancer variant interpretation. CIViC is a crowd sourced, expert moderated resource with a community of over 300 active curators. In response to community feedback, evolving guidelines and improved understanding of the genetics of cancer, we have developed CIViC 2.0, a major redesign that expands the capabilities of this widely used resource. CIViC 2.0 has been designed to support complex variant relationships (termed molecular profiles in CIViC) such as the poor prognostic impact of the combination of variants in FLT3, DNMT3A and NPM1 in acute myeloid leukemia. These highly structured molecular profiles link details about each constituent variant, including genomic coordinates, HGVS, aliases, and additional metadata. Molecular profiles will also support the absence of a variant, which has become critical in targeted therapy decision making such as colorectal cancer where EGFR expression without a KRAS variant is an indication for targeted inhibitor therapy. These molecular profiles also support structural variants. While fusions have always been supported, CIViC 2.0 will support complex genomic coordinate or cytoband specific queries. Significant technical changes have improved the speed and performance of the UI and the underlying API. A complete redesign of the API, utilizing GraphQL, empowers users to ask more complex questions and more deeply explore this highly curated data. More robust data schemas and comprehensive validation of evidence structure will allow for the programmatic submission of new evidence. By utilizing site-wide full text faceted search, identifying relevant content in summaries, evidence items, or even curator comments is straightforward. The CIViC 2.0 redesign supports the ever-increasing complexity of cancer variant information and provides a powerful tool to explore and utilize the carefully curated data within the knowledgebase for a multitude of questions related to basic, translational, and clinical research.

Abstract:

Abstract Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the most prevalent subtype of lung cancer, can arise from two different cell populations: alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells and bronchiolar club cells. By utilizing genomic data from the cancer genome atlas program, human LUAD cell lines, and the well-characterized LSL-KrasG12D/Trp53-/- (KP) mouse model, we demonstrated that tumors arising from club cells are much more aggressive and follow a different trajectory of tumorigenesis when compared to those arising from AT2 cells. Intriguingly, our data strongly suggest that expression and signaling activity of protein kinase C iota (PKCι) can profoundly affect the cell of origin and oncogenic signaling pathways employed by resultant tumors. Specifically, KP-mediated transformation of club cells appears to be dependent on PKCι-ELF3-NOTCH3 and PKCι-YAP1 signaling axes, while AT2 cell malignancy is dependent on the PKCι-independent WNT signaling. In addition, club-cell-origin tumors exhibit an enrichment of cancer stem cells and increased infiltration of immunosuppressive myeloid cells in comparison to AT2-cell-origin tumors. This results in accelerated progression and increased likelihood of metastasis by LUAD tumors that originate from club cells. Taken together, our results indicate that PKCι expression and signaling activity can profoundly influence the cells of origin, tumor trajectories, and therapeutic vulnerabilities of LUAD tumors.

Abstract:

AbstractOnline media have brought tremendous changes to civic life, public opinions, and government administration. Compared with traditional media, online media not only allow individuals to browse news and express their views more freely, but also accelerate the transmission of opinions and expand influence. As public opinions may arouse societal unrest, it is worth detecting the primary topics and uncovering the evolution trends of public opinions for societal administration. Various algorithms are developed to deal with the huge volume of unstructured online media data. In this study, dynamic topic model is employed to explore topic content evolution and prevalence evolution using the original posts published from 2013 to 2017 on the Tianya Zatan Board of Tianya Club, which is one of the most popular BBS in China. Based on semantic similarities, topics are grouped into three themes: Family life, societal affairs, and government administration. The evolution of topic prevalence and content are affected by emergent incidents. Topics on family life become popular, while themes “societal affairs” and “government administration” with bigger standard deviations are more likely to be influenced by emergent hot events. Content evolution represented by monthly pairwise distance matrix is very easy to find change points of topic content.

Abstract:

The founding of the Civic Theatre Association in Toronto in 1945, and its four-season production history until 1949, provide a microcosm of the embryonic development stage of post-World War II indigenous Canadian theatre. Created through the merger of fourteen Toronto-area amateur companies under the leadership of the film and theatre critic Roly Young (1903-48), the CTA sought to finance adequate theatre facilities and to provide work opportunities and appreciative audiences for Canadian artists and playwrights. Young's opposition to the principle of government arts subsidies to create a Canadian 'national' theatre placed him in direct conflict with the organizational work of John Coulter and Herman Voaden at the Arts and Letters Club and the Canadian Arts Council.
