Standardized Sphere Score (SSS) linearity validation.
No full text<p><b>A.</b> H1299 cells (plating cell number was 1600 × 0.5<sup><i>i</i></sup>,<i>i</i> = 0,1,2…5 per well) were plated in TS medium in 24-well ULA plates for 8 days to allow for formation of TS. Number of spheres (n) and SSS were then measured and calculated. The results were presented with SSS×N and n as the Y-axis, and N as the X-axis. <b>B.</b> MCF7 cells (plating cell number was 3200 × 0.5<sup><i>i</i></sup>,<i>i</i> = 0,1,2…5, per well) were plated in TS medium supplemented with 1× B27 in 24-well ULA plates for 8 days to allow for formation of TS. Number of spheres (n) and SSS were then measured and calculated. The results were presented with SSS×N and n as the Y-axis, and N as the X-axis. <b>C-F</b>. mESC (plating cell number was 4000*0.8<sup><i>i</i></sup>,<i>i</i> = 0,1,2…11, per well) were plated in 24-well ULA plates in DMEM supplemented with LIF and, respectively, with 15% FBS (C), 3% FBS (D, E), and 1.5% FBS (F) for up to 8 days, to allow the formation of EB. Number of EBs (n) and SSS were similarly obtained. Since the numerical value of n is much smaller than that of SSS×N, the plots of n against N appeared to be very close to the X-axis. Each experiment was repeated at least 3 times.</p

Author, landscape and communication in Estonian haiku
Full text linkPresent article tries to give insight into the ways in which Estonian haiku models its author and communicates with the reader. The author thinks that while Japanese haiku is a predominantly autocommunicative piece of literature, where even a fixed point of view is not recommended, Estonian literary conventions are oriented towards openly communicational texts, which convey a fixed axiology and rely on abundant use of pronouns and rhetorical questions, addresses and apostrophes. While there is a considerable amount of Estonian haiku that depend on Estonian literary conventions, most of the Estonian haiku texts, however, are oriented to the Japanese model. These texts have been labelled “the catalogues of landscape”, as they are constituted by naming different landscape objects without developing a line of narration. Thereby every landscape element in poetry is granted its own voice, and through this multitude of voices inside the text, the reader is forced to enter an autocommunicative process of remodelling him/herself
Barthes’s positive theory of the author
Full text linkWhile it is well known that Roland Barthes consecrated his last lecture series at the Collège de France to the theme of the preparation of a novel, it is less known that his first writings on literature focused on the same question, but from a less individual point of view. The interrogation that motivates Le Degré zéro de l’écriture (1953) and many of the essays in Essais critiques (1964) is the question of how to write, of what procedures one can follow in preparing a literary work of art. At the two ends of Barthes’s career one finds the same themes of writing as action and of the writer’s possibilities and motivations in writing. The article explores the hypothesis that there is ground for a positive theory of the author in Barthes’s work. It seeks to discover similarities between writings from the early and the late period that concern three themes: (1) writing as action, (2) the deferral of its achievement, and (3) writing as representation. The article ends with a discussion on the relationships between Barthes’s positive theory of the author and related important issues that have been discussed recently in literary criticism
