Abstract

Family considerations are known to influence the decision to buy long-term care (LTC) insurance. This paper uses a Swiss survey to identify the characteristics of individuals willing to purchase LTC insurance, either to protect their children's bequest or because they cannot rely on family for care. First, it shows that the presence or absence of children plays an important role in the two motivations for buying LTC insurance. Second, it shows that individuals from the French-speaking part of Switzerland and those with lower self-perceived health are more likely to buy LTC insurance because of the unreliability of family care. On the other hand, individuals with higher self-perceived health and those with a right and center political orientation are more likely to buy LTC insurance for reasons of bequest protection. The results provide insights into designing more targeted strategies to promote LTC insurance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

PHRF1 is involved in transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling to constrain the formation of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) in mouse APL models. PHRF1 also participates in modulating non-homologous end-joining. However, the role of PHRF1 in mammalian dendrite architecture and synaptic plasticity is unclear. Here, we investigated the role of PHRF1 in dendritic formation in the murine hippocampus using Camk2a promoter driven-iCre recombinase to conduct a PHRF1 conditional knockout, namely PHRF1Δ/Δ, in the forebrain region. PHRF1Δ/Δ mice developed normally, but exhibited anxiety-like behaviors and displayed defective spatial memory. Alterations of dendritic complexity in apical and basal dendrites of pyramidal neurons were noticed in PHRF1Δ/Δ mutants. Furthermore, electrical stimulation in the hippocampal CA1 region after the TGF-β1 treatment showed a reduced synaptic plasticity in PHRF1Δ/Δ mice. Immunoblotting analysis indicated that PHRF1 ablation affected the TGF-β signaling. Collectively, our results demonstrate that PHRF1 is important for the dendritic architecture and required for spatial memory formation in the hippocampus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Myotonic dystrophy (Dystrophia Myotonica; DM) is the most common adult-onset muscular dystrophy and its brain symptoms seriously affect patients' quality of life. It is caused by extended (CTG)n expansions at 3′-UTR of DMPK gene (DM type 1, DM1) or (CCTG)n repeats in the intron 1 of CNBP gene (DM type 2, DM2) and the sequestration of Muscleblind-like (MBNL) family proteins by transcribed (CUG)n RNA hairpin is the main pathogenic mechanism for DM. The MBNL proteins are splicing factors regulating posttranscriptional RNA during development. Previously, Mbnl knockout (KO) mouse lines showed molecular and phenotypic evidence that recapitulate DM brains, however, detailed morphological study has not yet been accomplished. In our studies, control (Mbnl1 +/+; Mbnl2 cond/cond; Nestin-Cre −/−), Mbnl2 conditional KO (2KO, Mbnl1 +/+; Mbnl2 cond/cond; Nestin-Cre +/−) and Mbnl1/2 double KO (DKO, Mbnl1 ΔE3/ΔE3; Mbnl2 cond/cond; Nestin-Cre +/−) mice were generated by crossing three individual lines. Immunohistochemistry for evaluating density and distribution of cortical neurons; Golgi staining for depicting the dendrites/dendritic spines; and electron microscopy for analyzing postsynaptic ultrastructure were performed. We found distributional defects in cortical neurons, reduction in dendritic complexity, immature dendritic spines and alterations of postsynaptic densities (PSDs) in the mutants. In conclusion, loss of function of Mbnl1/2 caused fundamental defects affecting neuronal distribution, dendritic morphology and postsynaptic architectures that are reminiscent of predominantly immature and fetal phenotypes in DM patients.

Abstract

Between 1984 and 2021, elite athletes from the member regions of Greater China – China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong – competed at each of the ten Summer Olympics. By winning 263 gold medals, 199 silver, and 173 bronze, China became a global sports superpower. Taiwan and Hong Kong pocketed 7 gold medals, 10 silver, and 17 bronze and 2 gold medals, 3 silver, and 4 bronze, respectively, displaying their world-leading statuses in archery, badminton, baseball, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, Judo, karate, sailing, Taekwondo, table tennis, and weightlifting. In response, the leaders of the three regions delivered high-profile praise. Their administrations awarded cash, badges, and/or honorary titles to the medalists.By reviewing journalistic reports, key-players'memoirs, official documents, and scholarly works, this book aims to understand the significance of the Olympic medal haul to the Chinese, Taiwanese, and Hong Kong authorities. Its findings detail the context in which the Olympic medal haul was leveraged for the political change of the three regions and their relations with each other. They also reveal that the praise and rewards bestowed by the respective authorities on the medalists not only celebrated their jurisdictions'sporting excellence, but served broader strategic goals across domestic politics and international relations.

My autobiography is a record of my life and interactions with many interesting people over the course of my work. This involved key industries and organisations like Keppel Corp, Wearnes, Natsteel, SPH, UOB, LTA, JTC, and SSO. Having the good fortune to meet many prominent Singaporeans such as Tan Chin Tuan, Wee Cho Yaw as well as Mr Lee Kuan Yew, Dr Goh Keng Swee, Dr Toh Chin Chye, Mr Lim Kim San and SR Nathan, allowed me not only a good perspective of various industries and businesses but also how some of these eminent statesmen think. They moulded my view of life.I've also gone through a wide range of experiences from changes in governments, impact of technology on our daily lives, changes in entertainment media to various life-threatening crises.I hope this unique compendium would be of interest to younger readers, growing up in a new and different world, but knowing how we got here, and why.

Abstract

This book explores social movements and political activism in contemporary Japan, arguing that the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident marks a decisive moment, which has led to an unprecedented resurgence in social and protest movements and inaugurated a new era of civic engagement. Offering fresh perspectives on both older and more current forms of activism in Japan, together with studies of specific movements that developed after Fukushima, this volume tackles questions of emerging and persistent structural challenges that activists face in contemporary Japan. With attention to the question of where the new sense of contention in Japan has emerged from and how the newly developing movements have been shaped by the neo-conservative policies of the Japanese government, the authors ask how the Japanese experience adds to our understanding of how social movements work, and whether it might challenge prevailing theoretical frameworks.
