Stewart) and an educational grant from Pfizer (to T. Powles).Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of VEGF targeted therapy (sunitinib) on molecular intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) in metastatic clear cell renal cancer (mccRCC). Experimental design: Multiple tumor samples (n=187 samples) were taken from the primary renal tumors of mccRCC patients who were sunitinib treated (n=23, SuMR clinical trial) or untreated (n=23, SCOTRRCC study). ITH of pathological grade, DNA (aCGH), mRNA (Illumina Beadarray) and candidate proteins (reverse phase protein array) were evaluated using unsupervised and supervised analyses (driver mutations, hypoxia and stromal related genes). ITH was analysed using intratumoral protein variance distributions and distribution of individual patient aCGH and gene expression clustering. Results: Tumor grade heterogeneity was greater in treated compared to untreated tumors (P=0.002). In unsupervised analysis, sunitinib therapy was not associated with increased ITH in DNA or mRNA. However, there was an increase in ITH for the driver mutation gene signature (DNA and mRNA) as well as increasing variability of protein expression with treatment (p<0.05). Despite this variability, significant chromosomal and transcript changes to key targets of sunitinib, such as VHL, PBRM1 and CAIX, occurred in the treated samples. Conclusions: These findings suggest that sunitinib treatment has significant effects on the expression and ITH of key tumor and treatment specific genes/proteins in mccRCC. The results, based on primary tumor analysis, do not support the hypothesis that resistant clones are selected and predominate following targeted therapy.Peer reviewe

The True Nature of the Satyricon?
No full textThis paper considers the Satyrica in relation to the developing history of Greek prose fiction, highlighting some problems presented by a panoramic view of Greco-Roman literary history for interpretation of this work. The aim of this discussion is not to argue firmly for a later period of composition for the Satyrica, but to highlight the fact that its date has not yet been properly settled. This awkward question cannot but bear on the way in which the work is viewed in relation to a constellation of potential Greek influences and sources. Andrew Laird is Reader in Classical Literature in Warwick University. He has published widely on Latin prose fiction and is co-editor of A Companion to the Prologue of Apuleius\u27 Metamorphoses (OUP 2001). He is author of Powers of Expression, Expressions of Power (OUP 1999) and The Epic of America (Duckworth 2006)
Different Dialects - a World Conversation on Work Integrated learning
No full textLisa Ward (University of Huddersfield) and Ron Laird (University of Ulster) will provide conference with an insight to selected themes from recent Work Integrated Learning conferences and symposia. Their dialogue will enable delegates to hear of developments and practice from around the world of co-operative education. Their observations should enable all delegates to evaluate aspects of their own practice within a wider international context and lead to improvement
The role of the State in low-wage labor supply: a case study of farmworkers in New York State
No full textNews stories report frequently on farm labor shortages and the calls of growers for federal government action to bolster supply with immigration policy change. The state role such intervention implies is not unusual, but it raises broader questions about the state’s contribution to labor supply through this and other policy mechanisms and about how labor supply, demand, and policy influence one another as they evolve. This dissertation answers these questions with a mixed-method study that describes the policy history and political factors shaping the structure of farm labor markets and traces the presence of policy in labor market processes in New York State. An analysis of National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS) data captured trends in worker and job characteristics, showing a significant disparity between wages of undocumented and documented workers. U.S. Department of Labor records indicated that use of the H-2A temporary agricultural worker program increased sharply in New York and the U.S. from 2006 to 2009 and dropped in 2010. A review of the policy structure that shapes farm labor markets highlighted the historical evolution of agricultural exemptions and other industry-specific legislative provisions across labor standards, social programs, and immigration policy that have contributed to labor market segmentation. A review of Congressional hearings showed how interest groups have used this forum to justify reshaping policy, such that political debate serves the symbolic function of communicating to policymakers the parameters grower and worker interests will accept around the state’s role in supply and worker protection, and their expectations of the state going forward. Qualitative interviews in New York State with employers, workers, non-profit agencies, and government examined the role of the state in farm labor markets in two regions, demonstrating that social programs and labor standards, immigration enforcement, and the H-2A program work separately and in concert to shape decisions of actors, and thus over time labor supply characteristics and production and employment practices. In implementation, the role of policy in markets takes on different effects and interacts with other factors, demonstrating that markets are partially constructed by the state. The role of the state is to supply (directly or indirectly), sustain and protect labor, and to serve as intermediary, with ever-changing mechanisms and results. In addition, policy can mitigate risk for employers and influence the nature of labor demand. The dissertation concludes with a review of developments in worker advocacy and policy suggestions for moving beyond the seemingly obvious and intractable problems related to farm labor. These issues are also relevant for other kinds of low-wage and contingent labor markets in which recent trends parallel the long history of farm work. The discussion of new developments and policy proposals illustrates that it is possible and important to continue searching for ways to enhance worker agency and conditions for the benefit of the agriculture industry, but also in light of the broader implications of immigration and social policy for job quality and low-wage work.Ph.
