The contested terrain of sport diplomacy in a globalizing world

Steven J. Jackson1 한국외국어대학교 국제지역연구센터 2013 International Area Studies Review Vol.16 No.3

Sport continues to occupy a rather ambiguous position within the context of politics, foreign policy and diplomatic relations. While one can identify a long list of cases where sport has been credited with diverting conflict, contributing to peace negotiations and helping develop better cultural understanding, there are also many cases where sport has not only fueled conflict but also served as its source. This paper seeks to: (1) highlight the unique features of sport as a cultural site and practice in relation to diplomacy; (2) briefly overview some key dimensions and limitations of sport as an instrument of diplomacy; and (3) offer a preliminary examination of contemporary sport organizations and events in order to understand the implications of the transformational shift occurring between state diplomacy and what might be termed “corporate diplomacy” within an increasingly global context.

Subcellular Localization of the Barley Stripe Mosaic Virus Triple Gene Block Proteins

Lim, Hyoun-Sub,Bragg, Jennifer N.,Ganesan, Uma,Ruzin, Steven,Schichnes, Denise,Lee, Mi Yeon,Vaira, Anna Maria,Ryu, Ki Hyun,Hammond, John,Jackson, Andrew O. American Society for Microbiology 2009 Journal of virology Vol.83 No.18

<B>ABSTRACT</B><P><I>Barley stripe mosaic virus</I> (BSMV) spreads from cell to cell through the coordinated actions of three triple gene block (TGB) proteins (TGB1, TGB2, and TGB3) arranged in overlapping open reading frames (ORFs). Our previous studies (D. M. Lawrence and A. O. Jackson, J. Virol. 75:8712-8723, 2001; D. M. Lawrence and A. O. Jackson, Mol. Plant Pathol. 2:65-75, 2001) have shown that each of these proteins is required for cell-to-cell movement in monocot and dicot hosts. We recently found (H.-S. Lim, J. N. Bragg, U. Ganesan, D. M. Lawrence, J. Yu, M. Isogai, J. Hammond, and A. O. Jackson, J. Virol. 82:4991-5006, 2008) that TGB1 engages in homologous interactions leading to the formation of a ribonucleoprotein complex containing viral genomic and messenger RNAs, and we have also demonstrated that TGB3 functions in heterologous interactions with TGB1 and TGB2. We have now used <I>Agrobacterium tumefaciens</I>-mediated protein expression in <I>Nicotiana benthamiana</I> leaf cells and site-specific mutagenesis to determine how TGB protein interactions influence their subcellular localization and virus spread. Confocal microscopy revealed that the TGB3 protein localizes at the cell wall (CW) in close association with plasmodesmata and that the deletion or mutagenesis of a single amino acid at the immediate C terminus can affect CW targeting. TGB3 also directed the localization of TGB2 from the endoplasmic reticulum to the CW, and this targeting was shown to be dependent on interactions between the TGB2 and TGB3 proteins. The optimal localization of the TGB1 protein at the CW also required TGB2 and TGB3 interactions, but in this context, site-specific TGB1 helicase motif mutants varied in their localization patterns. The results suggest that the ability of TGB1 to engage in homologous binding interactions is not essential for targeting to the CW. However, the relative expression levels of TGB2 and TGB3 influenced the cytosolic and CW distributions of TGB1 and TGB2. Moreover, in both cases, localization at the CW was optimal at the 10:1 TGB2-to-TGB3 ratios occurring in virus infections, and mutations reducing CW localization had corresponding effects on BSMV movement phenotypes. These data support a model whereby TGB protein interactions function in the subcellular targeting of movement protein complexes and the ability of BSMV to move from cell to cell.</P>

Compensatory Neural Reorganization in Tourette Syndrome

Jackson, Stephen ,R.,Parkinson, Amy,Jung, Jeyoung,Ryan, Suzanne ,E.,Morgan, Paul ,S.,Hollis, Chris,Jackson, Georgina ,M. Cell Press 2011 Current biology Vol.21 No.7

<P><B>Summary</B></P><P>Children with neurological disorders may follow unique developmental trajectories whereby they undergo compensatory neuroplastic changes in brain structure and function that help them gain control over their symptoms [1–6]. We used behavioral and brain imaging techniques to investigate this conjecture in children with Tourette syndrome (TS). Using a behavioral task that induces high levels of intermanual conflict, we show that individuals with TS exhibit enhanced control of motor output. Then, using structural (diffusion-weighted imaging) brain imaging techniques, we demonstrate widespread differences in the white matter (WM) microstructure of the TS brain that include alterations in the corpus callosum and forceps minor (FM) WM that significantly predict tic severity in TS. Most importantly, we show that task performance for the TS group (but not for controls) is strongly predicted by the WM microstructure of the FM pathways that lead to the prefrontal cortex and by the functional magnetic resonance imaging blood oxygen level-dependent response in prefrontal areas connected by these tracts. These results provide evidence for compensatory brain reorganization that may underlie the increased self-regulation mechanisms that have been hypothesized to bring about the control of tics during adolescence.</P>

π-Acceptor-functionalized particles: Synthesis, characterization and effect of cross-linking agents on adsorptive removal of nitrogen- and sulfur-compounds from light gas oil

Jackson M. Chitanda,Ruth Azar,Ali Abedi,Ajay K. Dalai,John D. Adjaye 한국공업화학회 2016 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.44 No.-

This work investigated the effect of cross-linking agents on the efficiency and selectivity offunctionalized polymers toward the removal of nitrogen- and sulfur-containing compounds fromgas-oil. The following polymeric supports with increasing particles size were synthesized: poly(glycidylmethacrylate) [PGMA], poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) [PGMA-co-EGDMA] and poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate)[PGMA-co-TMPTMA]. Diaminopropane (DAP) and tetra-nitro-9-fluorenone (TENF) were utilized as a linker and a p-acceptormoiety, respectively. Particles were fully characterized using different methods including Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA), etc. Results showed that the particles with the larger sphericalbeads [PGMA-co-TMPTMA-DAP(3)-TENF] gave the highest nitrogen and sulfur adsorption.

The Early Education of Queen Elizabeth I and Her Later Translation of Boethius's De Consolatione Philosophiae

Jackson, John Morris,Kaylor, Noel Harold Jr. 중세영문학연구회 2002 중세영문학 Vol.10 No.2

At Windsor, Queen Elizabeth I translated Boethius's De Consolatione Philosophiae into English in 1593. She appears to have worked with great speed and relative accuracy, which attests to her command of Latin. This paper considers her early education as informative, both on the classical authors in whose works she had long been steeped and on the methodology that is evident in the translation made in her sixtieth year. Primarily under Roger Ascham's direction, Elizabeth was presented texts that would encourage her use of "e purest diction,"upply her with superior values and perspectives, and endow her with the moral fortitude required in a monarch. The selected texts included those by Cicero, Demonsthenes, Isocrates, Sophocles, Livy, and mostly likely Boethius, whom Ascham cited as a touchstone of his own educational values. It was by instruction in Ascham's "uble translation"ethod, which he described in his The Scholemaster, that Elizabeth acquired her profound command of written and spoken Latin. By his own description, this method entails translating a classical text first into English and then, after a time, translating that English back into the original language of the text. This practice cultivates a literalness in the rendering of a text into English and also a gravitation toward, wherever possible, the use of cognates. An examination of Elizabeth's 1593 translation of the Consolation of Philosophy indicates that the queen continued to benefit from her childhood instruction even to the end of her long and glorious reign.

Advances in genome sequencing and resequencing can and should play a role in our response to meeting these challenges. However, several barriers prevent rapid and effective deployment of these tools to a wide variety of crops. Because of the complexity of crop genomes, <I>de novo</I> sequencing with next‐generation sequencing technologies is a process fraught with difficulties that then create roadblocks to the utilization of these genome sequences for crop improvement. Collecting rapid and accurate phenotypes in crop plants is a hindrance to integrating genomics with crop improvement, and advances in informatics are needed to put these tools in the hands of the scientists on the ground.</P>
