Tools for measuring soft power: a review of recent quantitative analyses [PDF]

, 2023
Communications Culture and Technology ProgramOne strike against soft power as a useful concept in international relations is the inability to measure it renders it somewhat vague. Military power can be measured in soldiers and firepower. Economic power

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

The Research on the Soft Power of City Culture [PDF]

, 2012
The soft power of city culture is the core of the city soft power. It refers to the influence, cohesion and appeal that a city possesses, which is the main element of the competitiveness and interacts with hard power, for example economy and technology ...

Estimating the efficacy of isometric handgrip training to lower resting blood pressure in patients with stage 1 hypertension in Eastern Uganda compared to standard of care: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Trials
Background Hypertension (HTN) is a major non-communicable disease worldwide, including in Uganda. Studies have estimated HTN prevalence in Uganda between 19 and 33% among adults, with only 7–9% controlled within clinical target ranges. Isometric handgrip

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

The Decline of Soft Power?

MGIMO Review of International Relations, 2017
The article deals with the origins and stages of the evolution of the concept of “soft power” in the political practice of the key countries in the world. This concept is both theoretical and practical product since it synthesizes and represents the direction of the application by a state its of social and political resources. It is significant to trace

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Methodology for quantifying particle charge statistics in electric fields of gas insulations

Scientific Reports
Electrically charged particles in high-voltage gas insulation systems can lead to field distortion, partial discharges, and ultimately, insulation breakdowns. Despite their significance, particle charges have rarely been studied in this context.

Circulating microRNA signatures of cachexia and cancer in Canis familiaris as a comparative oncology model for human disease

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of cachexia and sex‐specific cancer in senior dogs. In 25 client‐owned dogs, four circulating miRNAs (miR‐15a, miR‐15b, miR‐16, miR‐140) were downregulated in cachexia, with miR‐16 the strongest individual biomarker (AUC = 0.899).

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...
