Recent studies suggest that NF-κB activation plays an essential role in the activation of mesangial cells and macrophages through the transcriptional induction of inflammatory mediators of glomerular inflammation and injury. The aim of the present study was to determine, using an image analysis system, glomerular immunoexpression of NF-κB (nuclear translocation of p65) in proteinuric patients w...

During recent development, it has been demonstrated that cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNPs) have exhibited catalytic activity which mimics naturally existing enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. The underlying mechanism is attributed to the modulation of oxygen vacancies on CNPs lattice by dynamic switching of the oxidation states between Ce3+ and Ce4+ due to the electron tra...

This article analyses governance of Brazil’s Digital Transformation Strategy (E-Digital) through a new public (NPG) lens. Based on the analysis, author finds that E-Digital is too centralised, with much decision-making power resting state actors at federal level, led by Presidency. analysis Brazilian experience aims to contribute towards understanding modalities necessary for democratic, sustai...

Potentially this paper contains some results that may be of interest to NPG, but not in its present form. The main issue is that the authors describe the method of Lagrangian descriptors in a variety of misleading and wrong ways, and they also have neglected to mention a large amount of relevant literature. The authors develop a new Lagrangian descriptor based on integrating the magnitude of th...

The authors consider the classical problem of detecting and tracking eddies in flow fields (in the title the adjective ’oceanic’ is present, but the paper is about kinematic flows). To do so they develop a variant, vorticity-based, of the so-called ’Lagrangian descriptors’, and evaluate it in model kinematic flows, as compared with other Lagrangian and Eulerian methodologies. There is some inte...

Abstract In recent years ‘social enterprises’ have become important partners in the delivery of key public services such as healthcare. However, little is known about how healthcare social enterprises contribute to service provision health sector. We analyzed 172 from four continents involved assess types interventions, processes, and roles they play responding rapidly evolving systems. found t...
