A Kist o’ Whistles

A Web of Science-based scientometric analysis about mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway in kidney disease from 1986 to 2020.

BackgroundThe mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway is vital for the regulation of cell metabolism, growth and proliferation in the kidney. This study aims to show current research focuses and predict future trends about mTOR pathway in kidney disease by the methods of scientometric analysis.MethodsWe referred to publications from the Web of ScienceTM Core Collection (WoSCC) Database. Carrot2, VOSviewer and CiteSpace programs were applied to evaluate the distribution and contribution of authors, institutes and countries/regions of extensive bibliographic metadata, show current research focuses and predict future trends in kidney disease’s area.ResultsUntil July 10, 2020, there are 2,585 manuscripts about mTOR signaling pathway in kidney disease in total and every manuscript is cited 27.39 times on average. The big name of course is the United States. Research hot spots include “diabetic nephropathy”, “kidney transplantation”, “autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease”, “tuberous sclerosis complex”, “renal cell carcinoma” and “autophagy”. Seven key clusters are detected, including “kidney transplantation”, “autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease”, “renal transplantation”, “renal cell carcinoma”, “hamartin”, “autophagy” and “tuberous sclerosis complex”.ConclusionsDiabetic nephropathy, kidney transplantation, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, tuberous sclerosis complex, renal cell carcinoma and autophagy are future research hot spots by utilizing scientometric analysis. In the future, it is necessary to research these fields.

Kemunculan Al-Kitabah di Prodi PAI UIN Ar-Raniry

Al-Kitabah which is known as one of the maharah (proficiency) in learning Arabic, has become one of the names of courses in the study program. This paper wants to explore the background of the emergence of this course in the PAI program and how the learning process has been going on. To answer the problem the authors conducted a study involving respondents who know directly the process of emergence of this course and student respondents who have followed the learning of this course. The results show that the background of the emergence of al-Kitabah courses is due to efforts to revise the curriculum of the PAI program beginning in 2013. There are various methods applied in al-Kitabah's learning that are adapted to the material which entirely contains the practice of writing Arabic writings. Specifically this course does not require the ability to fabricate in Arabic.

Base and Superstructure Revisited

Imagine a visitor from Alpha Centauri who lacked the concept of combining different sorts of goods. In Alpha Centaurian society, some people go in for scuba diving, some build Gothic follies in their gardens, and others have various bizarre shapes cut, topiary-wise, in their voluminous hair, but nobody thinks of doing all of these things together. Arriving in our own culture, this visitor begins by imagining that he has to choose between training as a trapeze artist, eating himself to death, climbing in the Andes, and collecting eighteenth-century silverware. Soon, however, he would come to realize that here on earth these versions of the good life need not be incompatible. For there exists with marvelous convenience a kind of meta-good, a sort of magical distillation of all other goods, which allowed you to shunt between or permutate these other goods with the minimum of effort, and its name of course is money.

The Ancient History of Singapore

It seems fitting that, on the occasion of the commemoration of the founding of modern Singapore 150 years ago, we should look further back than the year 1819 and see whether another examination of ancient documents can bring to light new data on the early history of Singapore. Accordingly it is here submitted that a previously unrecognised reference to Singapore, under another name of course, is to be found in a well-known Indian document written nearly 950 years ago. Such a discovery gives immediate rise to further speculation regarding the possibility that this island was also known to Chinese and Arab geographers and merchants as an important trading centre and possibly known as such as early as the second century of the Christian era.

Concerning Cheremis Names

The most important Cheremis dictionary in print was written by a native Cheremis philologist, V. M. Vasiljev.1 This book includes a preface written in German, in which we find the following paragraph (xIII): 'In der obigen Transkription sind die in den W-rterbfichern von S. M6ricz und G. I. Ramstedt eingefihirten Aenderungen in Betracht gezogen worden.' Now this sentence contains a very curious error, namely, in the reference to 'S. M6ricz.' By the latter, Vasiljev means obviously the Hungarian linguist M6ricz Szilasi, author of a well known Cheremis dictionary from the turn of the century.2 Szilasi's publication being in Hungarian, his name of course appeared upon the title page in the conventional order, that is, family name (Szilasi) first, followed by personal name (Moricz, i.e. 'Maurice'). Vasiljev's mistake was noticed already by Beke,3 who ascribes it to the former's ignorance of the Hungarian language. Beke then goes on to point out, by way of an explanation, that the Cheremis have no old family names, and have only recently acquired Russian-style names in the customary word order. That the Cheremis do, nevertheless, use constructions with surnames-of at least three types, as a matter of fact-can be established by reference to published texts. This is the aim of the present paper. Without enlarging upon the diachronic aspects of the problem here, it can be asserted that the constructions mentioned below are, in all probability, not recent developments; for one thing, there exist strikingly similar arrangements in several Ugric and Permian languages which are suggestive of a common source.4 The syntactic patterns which occur in the texts5 are illustrated below. The examples are re-transcribed phonemically. Type I. The personal name follows the father's name in immediate juxtaposition. This construction appears to be extremely rare; I have come across only a single clear instance: kargori bera(lan) '(for) Vera Gregory' [W 42]. A second example might be edom obraska, translated by the collector as 'Eram Obraska (heidnischer Name)' [P 29, 95]; but there is no way to determine which name refers to

Remaking the Psychology Curriculum

Nil yR ODERN life has put a heavy strain upon the collegiate curriculum which is derived largely from two factors, the expansion of human knowledge and the presence in college of sizable groups of students with specialized intellectual and vocational interests. Under the stress of these two forces the traditional curriculum of the American college has gradually, though slowly, surrendered ground. Even the wonted names of courses are frequently but masks behind which parades a highly altered instructional content. In other cases current courses and curricula represent an intrusion of entirely new material into the traditional program at times so unlike the old in nature and purpose as seemingly to transform the college of liberal arts itself. The assault of the new world upon the college has been irresistible, even brutal at times, and some fine values may have been sacrificed in the excesses of revolutionary changes. Much to the bewilderment of collegiate authorities and educational philosophers the process is neither ended nor even in the way of abatement. For the most part it proceeds without formulated method or clear purpose. Unless we are to surrender to confusion, some plan of evolving and adjusting the curriculum must be made. One such method, that of activity analysis, has recently been used. In esssence this method starts with the occupation, the task or the job, and seeks to determine the skills and knowledges necessary to its pursuit. From this determination the movement is backward to the training program, to the curriculum, with long lists of prerequisite courses. Taken quite generally this is an ancient method of curricular construction; its more precise formulation is recent and has occurred in the distinctly vocational fields such as the industrial occupations. The developments of the curriculum at Stephens College and the lists of teachers' traits and activities found in the Commonwealth Teacher-Training Study by Charters and Waples are examples of its use at the collegiate level. Opposed to occupational analysis as a method of procedure is that of subject-matter analysis. While the former works backward from the end result, the latter moves forward from the vantage of available knowledge logically arranged. This, too, is an ancient method of making curricula, but the abundance of current knowledge and the specialized character of much of it set tasks of new and greater difficulty. If this method is to continue usable, it must be refined and adapted to the more complex condi-
