Dialektyka natury i społeczeństwa przeciwko monizmowi. Esej recenzyjny z „Marx in the Anthropocene” Kohei Saita (2023, Cambridge University Press)
No full textThe article discusses Kohei Saito’s work Marx in the Anthropocene, placing it against the broader background of the discussion of Marx’s ecological thought and explaining the basic assumptions of metabolic scratch theory. The main thread of the book on which the author focuses, however, is Saito’s critique of contemporary ecocritical monist conceptions (binding the orders of nature and culture into a unity). As she shows, Marx’s methodological dualism is better able to identify ways out of the ecological crisis.Artykuł omawia pracę Marx in the Anthropocene Kohei Saita, umieszczając ją na szerszym tle dyskusji nad ekologiczną myślą Marksa oraz wyjaśniając podstawowe założenia teorii rysy metabolicznej. Głównym wątkiem książki, na którym skupia się autorka, jest jednak przeprowadzona przez Saita krytyka współczesnych ekokrytycznych koncepcji monistycznych (wiążących w jedność porządek natury i kultury). Jak pokazuje, metodologiczny dualizm Marksa lepiej pozwala określić drogi wyjścia z ekologicznego kryzysu
Magnetogenesis from a rotating scalar: à la scalar chiral magnetic effect
No full text© 2020, The Author(s). The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is a phenomenon in which an electric current is induced parallel to an external magnetic field in the presence of chiral asymmetry in a fermionic system. In this paper, we show that the electric current induced by the dynamics of a pseudo-scalar field which anomalously couples to electromagnetic fields can be interpreted as closely analogous to the CME. In particular, the velocity of the pseudo-scalar field, which is the phase of a complex scalar, indicates that the system carries a global U(1) number asymmetry as the source of the induced current. We demonstrate that an initial kick to the phase-field velocity and an anomalous coupling between the phase-field and gauge fields are naturally provided, in a set-up such as the Affleck-Dine mechanism. The resulting asymmetry carried by the Affleck-Dine field can give rise to instability in the (electro)magnetic field. Cosmological consequences of this mechanism are also investigated11Nsciescopu

Identification of a urinary CD276 fragment for detecting resectable pancreatic cancer using a C-terminal proteomics strategy
No full textThis study aimed to confirm urinary protein fragments in relation to the presence of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) via a C-terminal proteomics strategy using exploratory and validation cohorts. Urinary fragments were examined by iTRAQ-labelling of tryptic peptides and concentrations of C-terminal fragments were evaluated. Only the urinary CD276 fragment showed a fold change (FC) of > 1.5 with a significant difference of P < 0.01 between healthy (H) and PDAC participants in both the exploratory (H, n = 42; PDAC, n = 39) and validation cohorts (H, n = 36; resectable PDAC, n = 28). The sensitivity and specificity of the CD276 fragment for diagnosing resectable PDAC were 75% and 89%, respectively, in the validation cohort. Postoperative urinary levels of the CD276 fragment were low as compared to those before surgery (n = 18, P < 0.01). Comprehensive C-terminus proteomics identified an increase in the urinary CD276 fragment level as a feature of patients with PDAC. The urinary CD276 fragment is a potential biomarker for detecting resectable PDAC.Citation: Shuichi Mitsunaga, Nobuaki Okumura, Toshiki Takei, Toshifumi Takao, Hironobu Tsubouchi, Kohei Nakata, Masafumi Nakamura, Yuji Kitahata, Hideki Motobayashi, Masafumi Ikeda, Masamitsu Nakazato, Identification of a urinary CD276 fragment for detecting resectable pancreatic cancer using a C-terminal proteomics strategy, Scientific Reports, 14(1), 2024-06-20, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-65093-
Who Uses Free Trade Agreements?
No full textIt is noted that utilization of ASEAN Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) is low by international standards. In order to clarify the reasons for such low utilization, this paper investigates what kinds of Japanese affiliates in ASEAN are more likely to use FTAs in their exporting, by employing unique affiliate-level data. Our findings are as follows. First, the larger the affiliate is, or the more diversified the origins of its procurements, the more likely it is to utilize an FTA scheme in its exporting. Second, affiliates that export actively to countries with higher general tariffs are more likely to use FTAs. Third, there are clear differences in FTA utilization depending affiliates, locations and sectors.

No full text"Exponential Analysis of Differential Equations and Related Topics". October 15～18, 2013. edited by Yoshitsugu Takei. The papers presented in this volume of RIMS Kôkyûroku Bessatsu are in final form and refereed.We study the Voros coefficients of linear ordinary differential equations with a large parameter obtained via middle convolutions. By the middle convolution, a new parameter is introduced to the equation. We determine its dependency to the Voros coefficients explicitly
