Core Identity

Any scientific discipline experiences a life cycle. As a specific discipline, the sociology of organizations may well have reached a stage of maturity and entered a declining return of the knowledge process. This is clearly the case with what might be called its standard platform or agenda of research. A major change in recent years has been the emergence of an extended platform or domain. This raises the question: Does this emergence renew the core identity of the discipline or does it dilute the sociology of organizations as a specific discipline? This essai discusses the ambiguity of such a redefinition of the domain ground. It also calls for a more solid and interactive dialogue between general sociology and sociology dealing with organizations.

Nuclear Stability

The templating RNA is the core of the telomerase reverse transcriptase. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the complex life cycle and maturation of telomerase includes a cytoplasmic stage. However, timing and reason for this cytoplasmic passage are poorly understood. Here, we use inducible RNA tagging experiments to show that immediately after transcription, newly synthesized telomerase RNAs undergo one round of nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling. Their export depends entirely on Crm1/Xpo1, whereas re-import is mediated by Kap122 plus redundant, kinetically less efficient import pathways. Strikingly, Mex67 is essential to stabilize newly transcribed RNA before Xpo1-mediated nuclear export. The results further show that the Sm7 complex associates with and stabilizes the telomerase RNA in the cytoplasm and promotes its nuclear re-import. Remarkably, after this cytoplasmic passage, the nuclear stability of telomerase RNA no longer depends on Mex67. These results underscore the utility of inducible RNA tagging and challenge current models of telomerase maturation.

SummaryNucleosome filaments of two stages of the life-cycle of Trypanosoma brucei brucei, namely bloodstream forms and procyclic culture forms, were investigated by electron microscopy. Chromatin of bloodstream forms showed a salt-dependent condensation. The level of condensation was higher than that shown by chromatin from procyclic culture forms, but 30 nm fibres as formed in rat liver chromatin preparations were not found. Analysis of histones provided new evidence for the existence of H1-like proteins, which comigrated in the region of the core histones in SDS–PAGE and in front of the core histones in Triton acid urea gels. Differences were found between the H1-like proteins of the two trypanosome stages as well as between the core histones in their amount, number of bands and banding pattern. It can be concluded that T. b. brucei contains a full set of histones, including H1-like proteins, and that the poor condensation of its chromatin is not due to the absence of H1, but most probably due to histone–DNA interaction being weak. It is obvious that structural and functional differences of the chromatin exist not only between T. b. brucei and higher eukaryotes, but also between various stages of the life-cycle of the parasite. It is therefore not adequate to investigate the chromatin only of the procyclic culture forms as a model for all stages of the life-cycle of T. b. brucei.

The method developed by Bullard & Gellman, to test flows of electrically conducting fluid in a sphere for dynamo action, is applied further to the two-component T 1 S 2c 2 flow pattern they proposed. In agreement with Gibson & Roberts, it is found that the results of the test are negative, which substantiates the indication from Braginskii’s work that the T 1 S 2c 2 flow pattern has too great a symmetry for it to act as a dynamo. However, the addition of a third component, S 2s 2 , to the flow pattern reduces the symmetry and produces results which indicate strongly that the three-component T 1 S 2c 2 S 2s 2 flow does act as a dynamo. Harmonics of magnetic field up to degree six have been taken into account, and this level of truncation appears to be justified. The streamlines of the T 1 S 2c 2 S 2s 2 flow form a distinctive whirling pattern in three dimensions, and this may be a physical characteristic necessary for dynamo action. The main magnetic fields of the T 1 S 2c 2 S 2s 2 dynamo are all toroidal, and the possibility is established that the geomagnetic dynamo is similar, with the dominant components of field being completely contained within the core. Variation of the subsidiary poloidal components of the field may then produce secular variation and even dipole reversals, without major change in the series of interactions between the toroidal components that form the basic dynamo.

Pathophysiology is a scientific discipline that studies the onset and progression of pathological conditions and diseases, and pathophysiology is one of the core courses in most preclinical medical curricula. In China, most medical schools house a Department of Pathophysiology, in contrast to medical schools in many developed countries. The staff in Chinese Departments of Pathophysiology generally consists of full-time instructors or lecturers who teach medical students. These lecturers are sometimes lacking in clinic knowledge and experiences. To overcome this, in recent years, we have been trying to bring new trends in teaching pathophysiology into our curriculum. Our purpose in writing this article was to share our experiences with our colleagues and peers worldwide in the hope that the insights we have gained in pathophysiology teaching will be of some value to educators who advocate teaching reform in medical schools.

Artikel ini hendak menjawab dua persoalan krusial terkait identitas orang Sasak: pertama, apakah inti identitas orang Sasak sekaligus unsur-unsur pembentuknya; kedua, bagaimana mekanisme pengetahuan dan perilaku pada masyarakat Sasak. Jawaban dari dua soal ini sangat penting sebagai pijakan suku bangsa Sasak untuk meraih masa depan yang lebih baik. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif berjenis penelitian fenomenologis. Penelitian jenis fenomenologis paling cocok untuk tema penelitian tentang identitas ditambah lagi dengan kenyataan bahwa peneliti adalah orang Sasak yang tentu saja menyerap dan merasakan sendiri menjadi orang Sasak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa inti identitas orang Sasak adalah agama dan adat atau Islam dan tradisi. Tradisi Sasak merupakan pengejawantahan dari ajaran-ajaran Islam yang selanjutnya membentuk perilaku yang tipikal bagi masyarakat Sasak yaitu menjadi muslim taat yang berbudaya tinggi pada saat yang sama.   Title: The Identity of Sasak People: Epistemology Study to the Mechanism of Knowledge Production of Sasak Tribe Community Abstract: This article will answer two crucial issues related to the identity of Sasak people: first, what are the core identities of the Sasak people and the forming elements?, second, how are the mechanisms of knowledge and behavior in the Sasak community?. The answers to these two questions are very important as a foothold of the Sasak ethnic group to achieve the better future. The research was conducted with a qualitative approach of the type of phenomenological research. The research of the phenomenological type is best suited to the theme of identity research added to the fact that researcher is Sasak person who naturally absorb and feel himself as person of Sasak. The results of the research showed that the core identity of the Sasak people is religion and custom or Islam and tradition. The Sasak tradition is an embodiment of Islamic ideologies which further form a typical behavior for the Sasak community, namely: being a loyal Muslims and they have high culture at the same time.

Future Education

Sense of space is a core cognitive ability necessary for imagining future three-dimensional forms, rotating them mentally, as well as for abstract thinking. It is a core ability in craft activities, enabling the maker to ideate and envision their ideas. This autoethnographic narrative inquiry presents my experience of woodworking whilst a brain tumour impeded my sense of space. The narrative describes my experience of losing and regaining this ability and the actions I took to continue carving anyway. The article’s evocative narrative exemplifies how the core identity of being a carver and the carving process itself function as coping mechanisms in the face of terminal cancer. The article’s main purpose is to generate knowledge on the role of spatial skills in carving and their elusive nature. Theoretically positioned in the field of embodied cognition, the article explains how our sense of space develops in interaction with materials and our surroundings. It also suggests how future education can be changed by purposefully incorporating targeted craft practices to better support the development of a sense of space.

Theoretical Considerations

This article seeks to contribute to the increasing body of fashion scholarship focused on space. Along with a spatial turn in human and social sciences, it is increasingly recognized by fashion researchers that spaces and places of fashion matter – but it is less discussed how a theoretical framework could be created to explore these. Thus, a Lefebvrian spatial analysis is considered here. The approach suggested recognizes that dress is fundamentally political, as is the space which it inhabits. Dressed bodies are subject to hegemonic ideologies, but individuals have the power to resist these, too. Some parameters of a spatialized fashion sociology and what benefits such an approach can bring for fashion scholarship more generally are considered. Dress should be understood as spatial practice, which in its turn creates spaces and realities, too. Such a framing allows for analysis of various spaces dressed bodies move through, and of how garments operate in these. Furthermore, it allows for extending the analysis by following garments through their whole life cycle, exploring the different kinds of spaces they enter. Such an approach has the potential for overcoming some persistent biases inherent in fashion scholarship, which tends to focus more on the ‘core’ than the ‘periphery’ locations of fashion.
