The “contrôleuse”: recognising the role of the “fixer” in academic and media NGO development partnerships

ABSTRACT Successful NGO development and academic partnerships have, at their core, effective intercultural and multilingual communication and translation practices and processes, including critical recognition of the role of “fixers”, who act as the “interface” between local participants and academic NGO impact-assessment researchers. Examining what we call the “contrôleuse” in development research projects in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, we show the need, as in journalism, to critically interrogate this intermediary role. Identifying and incorporating the role into research funding and design can be a simple and practical contribution towards challenging inequalities, including contrôleuse perspectives and increasing participatory impact-assessment and development practices.

Reciprocal learning: il confronto interculturale come dispositivo per la formazione degli educatori - insights da una ricerca tra Italia e Stati Uniti

Il tema della formazione a una “postura interculturale” fin dai servizi per la prima infanzia è al centro della riflessione contemporanea su come sostenere gli educatori impegnati in contesti educativi multiculturali. Cambiare prospettiva, decentrarsi, provare a vedere i fenomeni educativi da un altro punto di vista, vedere altrimenti sono competenze oggi necessarie per garantire la qualità del lavoro educativo in contesti educativi complessi e multiculturali. Come formare gli educatori che già lavorano nei servizi per l’infanzia a una cultura pedagogica aperta al dialogo interculturale e capace di cogliere nello spiazzamento culturale un’occasione di formazione e di allenamento al pensiero critico-riflessivo?A partire dai dati emersi da una ricerca sulla formazione degli educatori che ha coinvolto alcune educatriciin Italia e negli Stati Uniti, l’articolo propone una riflessione su come i processi di dialogo, confronto e scambio interculturale, mediati da video, possano essere dispositivi interessanti per promuovere lo sviluppo di una postura e non solo di strumenti per l’azione educativa in contesti multiculturali.

The effect of supply chain management challenges on research and development projects using Fuzzy DEMATEL and TOPSIS approach

Abstract Purpose: This paper aimed to identify, classify and prioritize supply chain management challenges for research-development projects in the R&D organization. Research Methodology: Based on previous literature and interview with related experts, the initial challenges of SCM for research-development projects in Iran organization were extracted. Thereafter, the identified challenges were finalized, classified, and prioritized. For this purpose, a semi-interview and questionnaire were designed, applied, and then analyzed using some statistical methods. Validation of the results was done through several interviews. Finally, the necessary modifications were made to the factors of environmental sustainability associated with the COVID-19 crisis. Results: In this study, the challenges of SCM for research-development projects in Iran organization were divided into six categories: cultural, motivational, contextual, process, infrastructural, and capabilities. Thereafter, suggested solutions were presented which describe how the challenges of SCM in research-development projects may be removed progressively. Limitations: This research is only described in project-based organizations. The study was limited to construction projects in different cities of Iran. Contribution: The prioritized challenges of SCM are a guideline for managers or decision-makers of R&D projects which will enable them, resolve challenges or improve on decision making. It also serves as a useful base for researchers to expand further research concerning the challenges of SCM in other research-development organizations. This study may present high value for researchers in the SCM field for research-development projects. Also, this study presents several solutions for the improvement of challenges considering the level of their importance to SCM.

COVID-19: The Italian experience

Italy was among the world's earliest and most affected countries by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We report the Italian experience with the pandemic. The dermatologic community immediately reduced any type of activities to 80% to 90% of outpatient consultations, both in public hospitals and in private offices. The Italian Society of Dermatology and Sexually Transmitted Diseases and the Italian Forensic Dermatologic Society supported the dermatologic community by reporting recommendations in newsletters (vademecum) regarding the routine management of dermatologic patients either in the hospital or private setting. We have provided an overview of the skin manifestations from the pandemic, including the consequences of the misuse of safety measures. We also have evaluated the recently developed research projects on patients treated with biologics for psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa, as well as on the registries regarding various skin diseases affected by COVID-19.

Meeting the challenges of public engagement, research impact and research participation as a baby and child lab

As well as conducting research in developmental science, baby and child labs face additional pressures. They must demonstrate public engagement and research impact, while also recruiting enough participants to conduct research, something that can be particularly challenging with infants and young children. These different pressures compete for time and resources, leaving researchers struggling to engage effectively in all such activities. Here we describe a low-cost, easy-to-implement, enjoyable and effective means of simultaneously addressing the challenges of recruitment, public engagement and research impact. It started with a process of listening and knowledge exchange with relevant local stakeholders to discern the interests and needs of the local infant community (including families, health professionals and businesses). This process led to the establishment of a fortnightly educational and support group for pregnant women and mothers of young infants, which met in the lab. This group combined peer discussion, presentations on developmental psychology, and ‘taster’ activities for mothers and infants from local businesses. Data collected from questionnaires from the first and final sessions indicated significant improvements in participants’ understanding of relevant concepts in developmental psychology, and showed that participants found this information helpful and reported using it at home. Participants also reported feeling more socially connected and more confident as mothers as a result of the group. The group also served to boost research participation, with 94 per cent of participants subsequently taking part in lab research or signing up to be contacted about future research. This approach can be employed by baby and child labs looking for ways to effectively and enjoyably promote public engagement and research impact, and for those looking to establish strong relationships with local stakeholders. The success of this strategy demonstrates that the aims of recruitment, public engagement and research impact need not be competing pressures on researchers’ time, but can be mutually supporting aspects of the research process.

Potential Targets of Nitidine Chloride in Wilms Tumour Revealed by Network Pharmacology, RNA-Seq and Microarrays

Background: Wilms tumour is the most common childhood renal cancer that requires development of better treatments. Nitidine chloride, a Chinese traditional medicine, could have therapeutic potential for Wilms tumour, however there have been no studies to date. Methods: In-house RNA-seq was performed and public RNA-seq plus microarrays datasets were incorporated for identifying the landscape of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in Wilms tumour. Meanwhile, the potential targets of nitidine chloride in Wilms tumour were acquired through combined analysis of computational prediction and DEG, which was further validated by molecular docking. The molecular mechanism of nitidine chloride-putative targets was investigated through transcription factors and gene set enrichment analysis. Findings: As a result, a total of 1819 upregulated DEGs and 1942 downregulated DEGs were identified in Wilms tumour. Twenty-three putative targets of nitidine chloride in Wilms tumour were determined and nine showed strong binding force with nitidine chloride in molecular docking. IMPDH2 and MAP4K4 exhibited significant value of prognostic signification. The upregulation of these putative targets in Wilms tumour may be induced by transcription factors (TFs) such as MYC, E2F1, SOX2, MYCN, MITF and CREM. The hub putative targets of nitidine chloride in Wilms tumour were enriched in pathways such as cell cycle, chemokine signaling pathway, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Interpretation: In conclusion, the putative pharmacologic targets and molecular pathways of nitidine chloride in Wilms tumour were unveiled in this study. Further research is necessary for confirming the therapeutic effect of nitidine chloride in Wilms tumour.

How the COVID-19 pandemic changed urology residency - a nationwide survey from the Portuguese resident's perspective.

IntroductionThe aim of this article was to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on urology residency.Material and methodsA 30 question online survey was sent to all urology residents in Portugal between the 25th of April and the 25th of May 2020. Reduction in different areas of clinical activity during the COVID-19 period were evaluated and their perceived impact on their residency program was quantified.ResultsForty-three (54.4%) Portuguese urology residents responded to our inquiry. Eighty-one percent report having supressed their activity by more than 75% in the outpatient clinic; 48.8% in diagnostic procedures; 29.3% in endoscopic surgery; 67.5% in laparoscopic/robotic surgery and 17.5% in major open surgery. There were no differences in clinical activity reduction across residency years. Considering the impact of COVID-19 on urology training programs, 32.6% plan on prolonging residency. During the COVID-19 period, a larger number of residents report having spent more time developing research projects or on continuing medical education, as compared with the pre-COVID-19 period (p = 0.012).ConclusionsCOVID-19 had a major impact on Urology residency in Portugal, with major short- and long-term consequences. A large proportion of residents are considering prolonging their residency as a result.

The Role of Scientific Research in Local Community Service from the Perspective of Faculty Members of some Palestinian Universities

The present study aimed at investigating the role of scientific research in the development of the local community from the point of view of the faculty members in the Palestinian Universities. To achieve this objective, a convenient sample of (244) faculty members from the universities of northern Palestine: Al-Quds Open University (Tulkarm), An-Najah National (Nablus), Technical Palestine - Khadouri (Tulkarem), and Arab American (Jenin). The results of the study showed that the participants' assessment of the importance of the role of scientific research in community development was medium in the overall instrument and two dimensions: applied research and scientific consultancy, but their assessment of awareness-raising was high. On the other hand, the results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the level of the role of practical research in the development of the community attributed to the gender variable in favor of males on the overall instrument and three dimensions, while there were no statistically significant differences in the level of participants' assessment attributed to the variable of specialization. The differences were in favor of the disciplines of educational sciences and applied sciences. There were also statistically significant differences in the level of their assessment attributed to the qualification variable on the overall instrument and the three dimensions in favor of PhD holders.Keywords: scientific research, community service, awareness-raising, applied research, scientific consultancy.

Prevalence of myocardial viability and ischemic burden in chronic total occluded coronary artery disease

Abstract Aims We assessed the viable myocardium status and investigated the relationship between collaterals with the ischemia burden and myocardial viability utilizing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and adenosine stress single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Methods and results 150 consecutive patients with at least one native CTO artery, as confirmed by coronary arteriography or coronary CT angiography, were prospectively recruited. SPECT examination was accepted by only 50 patients while declined by the other 100 patients for reasons such as financial problems. Of all segments in the 173 CTO artery territories, only 10.4% exhibited transmural myocardial infarction and 60.2% showed no late gadolinium enhancement. Among 50 patients who completed SPECT examination, 36 patients showed inducible perfusion defect in CTO territory, and the proportion of the ischemic area of 42% patients was over 10%. Conclusion Most patients with CTO had different degrees of myocardial infarction detected by CMR, but only a minority of them showed transmural infarction and cardiac function in patients with transmural infarction declined compared to those without transmural infarction. Approximately half of CTO patients exhibited inducible ischemia in CTO territory. Based on this, a large proportion of patients potentially benefit from CTO-PCI. Figure 1.

Preface

The Southeast Asian region covering Sundaland, Wallacea, Philippines, and Indo-Burma is unusually high in biodiversity and endemicity. Areas with pristine environments, as well as cities, hold an enormous potential of undiscovered species. Valuable resources that have yet to be explored from the area provide an ecosystem function and services to support human welfare. One such resource is the peatlands found in nearly all countries across Southeast Asia.Global climate change that can cause the extinction of biological resources is accelerated by human impact, including excessive exploitation of biological resources, an introduction of foreign species, and habitat conversions. An ecosystem sensitive to conversion is peatlands. With their expertise, scientists can develop research projects to explore biological resources available through biotechnology in maintaining biodiversity while utilizing it for human welfare.SEACoBB provides a forum for scientists interested in biodiversity and biotechnology to discuss their findings for maintaining sustainable environments. It is also a forum to create or strengthen the networks among scientists. We accommodate four symposia covering 1) Peatland: recent status and future management, 2) Biotechnology: the use of bioresources and securing biodiversity, 3) Ecosystem health in support of sustainable ecosystem services, and 4) Discovery of biodiversity and their evolution in a degraded ecosystem. Speakers and participants from several countries attended the SEACoBB. A total of 144 articles have been presented of both oral dan poster presentations, and 37 of them are published in this conference proceedings.We would like to thanks all the parties that give great support to the conference organized by the Biology Faculty of Universitas Jenderal Soedirman and the Peatland Restoration Agency, Republic of Indonesia, all keynote speakers, invited speakers, participants, also steering and organizing committee.The Editors:Dr. Romanus Edy PrabowoDr. Jocelyn T ZarateProf. Dr. Mitsuru OsakiDr. Haris GunawanProf. Dr. Imam WidhionoDr. Ardhini Rin MaharningDr. Erwin Riyanto ArdliDr. Agus Nuryanto

Planning academic publications - the role of the researcher and the development of publishable proposals

Objetivo: Analisar o desenvolvimento de projetos de pesquisa acadêmica sobre o prisma do pesquisador como profissional, da pesquisa como proposta e do encaixe do pesquisador e da pesquisa na Academia.Método: É utilizado como base o livro Designing Research for Publication, de Anne Sigismund Huff (que, por sua vez, contém adendos de outros autores), acrescido de literatura relevante sobre pesquisa e pesquisadores.Originalidade/relevância: Por mais que o campo de ciências sociais aplicadas tenha um arcabouço de obras à sua disposição cujo propósito é discutir projetos de pesquisa, poucas obras se propõem juntar o nível macro (a Academia e sua fluidez na condução de pesquisa e geração de teoria) e o nível micro (o projeto de pesquisa, a proposta e o valor desta), por meio da discussão da ponte entre eles realizada pelo pesquisador num processo deliberado, e ainda dos diversos interesses aos quais um projeto de pesquisa serve.Resultados: A análise do livro em comparação com a literatura corrente permite perceber os desafios do pesquisador em ciências sociais aplicadas em equilibrar objetivos de pesquisa pessoais, necessidades da área em que se insere e balancear os aspectos ativos de planejar contribuições na teoria com o lado passivo de explicação da teoria.Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: Pesquisa acadêmica em ciências sociais aplicadas raramente é discutida em termos de pressões institucionais divergentes ao próprio processo de desenvolvimento da pesquisa, e menos ainda quanto aos efeitos entre níveis diferentes. A obra analisada não tem propósito prescritivo acadêmico, mas permite inferir que muitas vezes a subotimalidade no resultado das propostas de pesquisa se deve às divergências entre as instituições envolvidas e seus diferentes graus de envolvimento e expectativas, bem como na má interpretação de microfundamentos na pesquisa acadêmica. A combinação de conflitos institucionais com efeitos adversos de diferentes níveis (além dos aspectos técnicos inadequados comumente encontrados), podem ser motivos centrais no insucesso de projetos de pesquisa.

Inclusive approaches to developing content valid patient-reported outcome measure response scales for youth with intellectual/developmental disabilities.

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used in health care to evaluate service quality and client progress. Response scales are a critical component of PROM content validity and must be designed to be relevant and comprehensible by users. In collaboration with eight youth co-researchers with intellectual/developmental disabilities ages 14-21, we used an iterative, three-stage approach to develop and select a response scale for the PEDI-PRO. Stages: 1) inclusive development of response scale options; 2) Collecting data about response scale options during focus groups with youth with intellectual/ developmental disabilities (n = 62); and 3) Analysing data to refine response options. Through two cycles of the three-stage process, the inclusive research approach led to the development of a content valid response scale that describes functional performance of everyday activities ("very easy," "a little easy," "a little hard"). An inclusive research approach can support the development of content valid PROM scales. We identified four broad strategies that supported youth co-researchers to engage in this response scale development process: universal design for learning, use of lived experiences, breaking down tasks, and peer support. Researchers may adopt and/or adapt the accessible inclusive research approaches described in this manuscript for measurement development and other research projects.

How can the European Commission help Europe’s defence industry? By making the most out of what it is already doing

ABSTRACT The European Commission's proposal for the €13 bn European Defence Fund (EDF) to incentivise collaborative defence research and capability development projects with EU funding was an ambitious statement of policy intent to drive forward European defence cooperation. However, the summer 2020 EU budget negotiations left it with only about 60% of that amount over the 2021-2027 period. This debate contribution argues that despite this curtailment in resource and ambition, the European Commission can still maximise the EDF's impact to benefit European defence industry by ensuring that the various defence industrial policy activities it is already leading are achieving their full potential, incentivising EU governments to acquire and use the capabilities developed through the Fund, and maintaining coherence amongst existing research projects, capability development projects, and joint capability requirements.

Advancing Developmental Science via Unmoderated Remote Research with Children

ABSTRACT This article introduces an accessible approach to implementing unmoderated remote research in developmental science – research in which children and families participate in studies remotely and independently, without directly interacting with researchers. Unmoderated remote research has the potential to strengthen developmental science by: (1) facilitating the implementation of studies that are easily replicable, (2) allowing for new approaches to longitudinal studies and studies of parent-child interaction, and (3) including families from more diverse backgrounds and children growing up in more diverse environments in research. We describe an approach we have used to design and implement unmoderated remote research that is accessible to researchers with limited programming expertise, and we describe the resources we have made available on a new website (discoveriesonline.org) to help researchers get started with implementing this approach. We discuss the potential of this method for developmental science and highlight some challenges still to be overcome to harness the power of unmoderated remote research for advancing the field.

ARTE E INOVAÇÃO NA TELEVISÃO BRASILEIRA: PRIMEIROS REGISTROS

This article recorded the first reflections about the research project in development at the Postgraduate Program in Languages, Media and Art at Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas (PUC-Campinas). This paper aims to present a synthesis of the theoretical-methodological foundation and to describe the main study object. For that, this work has involved a qualitative approach, concentrated on a bibliographic survey, based on contemporary television studies, narrative and stylistic analyzes and the relationship between the media and society. The relevance of this discussion was, among several aspects, in the ability to suggest the existence of artistic powers and cultural loads in Brazilian television programs, in addition to proposing the development of theoretical perspectives and the refinement of methodological approaches for this type of interdisciplinary study.

Integrating research into a molecular cloning course to address the evolving biotechnology landscape.

The rapid development of molecular biotechnology presents a curricular challenge for educators trying to provide students with relevant coursework. A comprehensive biology education should also include opportunities for students to develop intellectual and technical skills through authentic research experiences. Integrating relevant and interesting research projects into their classes, however, can be a challenging task for instructors. To address these varied demands, we redesigned our existing molecular cloning course to incorporate an independent research project assessing calcium signaling. In the revised course, students use traditional and recombination-based cloning strategies to generate bacterial and mammalian expression vectors encoding CaMPARI, a novel fluorescent calcium indicator. Bacterially-expressed CaMPARI is used in protein quantification and purification assays. Students must also design their own research project evaluating the effect of chemotherapeutic agents on calcium signaling in a mammalian system. Revised and novel labs were designed to be modular, facilitating their integration into the course over 2 years. End-of-semester student evaluations were compared between years revealing a significant difference in students' perception of the course's difficulty between years. This change in attitude highlights potential pedagogical considerations that must be examined when introducing new material and activities into existing courses. Since calcium signaling is important for cellular process across diverse species, instructors may be able to develop research projects within their respective areas of interest. Integration of authentic research experiences into the curriculum is challenging; however, the framework described here provides a versatile structure that can be adapted to merge diverse instructor interests with evolving educational needs.
