First person – Viorica Raluca Contu
No full textABSTRACT
First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Viorica Raluca Contu is co-first author on ‘Lysosomal targeting of SIDT2 via multiple YxxΦ motifs is required for SIDT2 function in the process of RNautophagy’, published in Journal of Cell Science. Viorica is a PhD student at the National Institute of Neuroscience, NCNP, Japan, investigating intracellular RNA degradation by the lysosomes and its possible involvements in disease pathogenesis and treatment.</jats:p
The role of titanium and its alloys in the process of osseointegration
No full textTitanium and titanium-based compounds are used successfully in medical practice, especially in orthopedics and dentistry. Conferring special properties, titanium is currently one of the most important materials, with more than promising results in the osseointegration processes. Therefore, in this paper, we suggest an approach to titanium osseointegration in the medical practice.

The Return of the Author
No full textThis article will discuss Întoarcerea Autorului (The Return of the Author), published for the first time in Communist Romania in 1981, and, after 1990, in France and the United States, republished in post-Communist Romania in 1993, 2005, and 2013, the fourth edition. The article will try to follow the historical and cultural background for the volume and its subsequent editions to answer the question who is the author of the “return of the author”? I will point to the implicit and explicit dialogue of the 1981 book with other books dealing with the same topic and perceive their coincidences – with reference to Sean Burke, Dominique Maingueneau, Antoine Compagnon and Valentine Cunningham. I will focus on one of the most important and daring ideas of this book (which can be retraced afterwards, in Reading after Theory by Cunningham): those critics who proclaim the death of the author have proved to be the most authorial and authoritarian of all. Within the broader context of author studies, I will outline the characteristic features of the 1981 book and the actuality of Simion’s critical position
Pandemicfridge: Collaboration at a Distance
No full textThe Covid-19 pandemic affected all aspects of contemporary life, from how we work to how we shop, travel, and eat. Previously banal activities such as going to the grocery store became challenging and anxiety-inducing, with a new level of danger associated with leaving one’s home. To document and respond to this global experience, Jennifer Scheuer, assistant professor in printmaking at Purdue University, and I began collaborating on a series of collages titled #PandemicFridge. The project investigates the idea of care, nourishment and sustainability through the motif of the fridge, both literal and metaphorical. Our practice emerged from the pandemic and is indelibly marked by it: the new ways of working we have developed are informed by this experience as we were forced to find workarounds and new avenues to pursue our workThis article is published as Iancu, R., #PandemicFridge: Collaboration at a Distance and the title of the journal is IMPACT Printmaking Journal.; https://impact-journal-cfpr.uwe.ac.uk/index.php/impact/article/view/110/117.

Cut-off Values for Biomarkers. A Review of Statistical Methods and an Application Study on the Association Between UTI and CRP in Febrile Seizure
No full textA New Old Community: Development of 'local community' centers with new culinary-related functions to address current needs of the Belgrade's population
No full textAs a result of urbanization and modernization processes, a significant component of Balkan culture relating to culinary habits and traditions is slowly being lost in urban areas, despite being highly valued by city dwellers. In the specific context of Belgrade, this graduation project investigates how the existing typology of 'local community' centers can be re-imagined with new food-related functions that would not only revitalize the existing modernist structures of these buildings (currently in disrepair), but also introduce new cultural value to their surrounding neighborhoods.The principal method used in the design process is a two-step typological transference. The first step showcases the revitalization of an existing 'local community' center in the area of New Belgrade. The second step uses the lessons learned in the previous phase for the design of a new community center in the area of Old Belgrade, which is currently lacking such facilities. Both these steps are meant to act as examples and guidelines for the revitalization of the existing centers and the design of new ones, respectively. The potential end result would be a new re-imagined network of 'local community' centers for the city of Belgrade, focused on culinary-related and social activities, which would create a new image for the cultural and architectural character of the city's neighborhoods.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Building Technolog
Agent-based Safety Modelling and Simulation of Controlling Two Airports from One Remote Tower
No full textRemote tower allows the provision of air traffic control to one or more aerodromes from a location that is different than the local tower. As such, the air traffic controller or flight information officer is not required to be in the physical aerodrome tower anymore. There are three types of remote tower operations. First, single remote tower is providing remote tower service to one aerodrome. Second, contingency remote tower is providing only continency air traffic control. Third, multiple remote tower is providing remote tower service to two or more aerodromes. Single remote tower and contingency remote tower have been validated and are currently operational. Multiple remote tower is not operational, therefore a topic of research regarding its feasibility. Currently, there is no available model looking into multiple remote tower operations. Developing an agent-based model can provide additional insight into the feasibility of this new concept of air traffic operations. It can be also be utilised in safety cases to assess the safety level of multiple remote tower operations. The focus of the MSc. Thesis is to develop an agent-based model for the evaluation of multiple remote tower.Aerospace Engineerin
