China is an emerging superpower. Its economical strength contrasts the lack of free speech and other liberties crucial for a prosperous economy. The democratic opposition is almost in its demise and society has little interest in politics. However, it hasn’t always been like that. This paper shows how the democratic movement emerged and it has developed since the mourning over the death of prime minister Zhou Enlai in 1976 during the Qing Ming, or the Tomb Sweeping festival. It also focuses on the intellectual turmoil of the Wall of Democracy in 1978, where some of the most important dissidents were published. This Chinese Hyde Park was officially closed in 1979 as the wave of repressions hit the dissidents. That event became a solid foundation for the future democratic opposition.

The year 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin, which has greatly changed the lives of people with diabetes and become a cornerstone of advances in medical science. A rapid bench-to-bedside application of the lifesaving pancreatic extract and its immediate commercialization was the result of a promising idea, positive drive, perseverance, and collaboration of Banting and colleagues. As one of the very few proteins isolated in a pure form at that time, insulin also played a key role in the development of important methodologies and in the beginning of various fields of modern science. Since its discovery, insulin has evolved continuously to optimize the care of people with diabetes. Since the 1980s, recombinant DNA technology has been employed to engineer insulin analogs by modifying their amino acid sequence, which has resulted in the production of insulins with various profiles that are currently used. However, unmet needs in insulin treatment still exist, and several forms of future insulins are under development. In this review, we discuss the past, present, and future of insulin, including a history of ceaseless innovations and collective intelligence. We believe that this story will be a solid foundation and an unerring guide for the future.

The article focuses on repeating details, situations, and characters in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel The Adolescent. To define such repetitions, the author of the present article uses the term dvoichatka (didymous), which is not a strictly academic definition, having been introduced in literary usage by Osip Mandelstam. This term encompasses all duplications that form the odd “density” of the text of The Adolescent. It is of note, that sometimes such repetitions align unequal elements, figures, and situations of very different scopes. Hence, these duplications create the rhythm of the novel, bonding the text as a whole and rendering it an uneven, shifting nature. The explicit “overcrowding” of the novel, the array of duplicating characters, and the density of the style, inherent to this particular text, all reflect Dostoyevsky’s intention to present a picture of “disorder” – the moral and social disarray that prevailed in post-reform Russia. However, precisely through the disorder of the main character, Arkady Dolgoruky, the reader is directed by the principal idea of the writer: Russia, seized by a rush into renewal, shall re-establish itself on a new and solid foundation. It shall attain prudence (the keyword of the novel) and the foremost role in this process will be played by adolescences, who are open to the future and from whom, according to Dostoyevsky, “generations are formed”.

Transportation and Internet Technologies have evolved dramatically during the last decade, laying solid foundation for the future generation of the Ubiquitous Internet access, omnipresent Web technologies and ultimate automated information cyberspace. As a result, the current efforts in the research and development in the areas of Future Transportation and Next Generation of Internet Technologies promotes formation of inter-disciplinary international teams of experts, scientists, researchers and engineers to create a new generation of applications and technologies that will facilitate the future transportation system. The authors present a dynamic channel management scheme for a Mobile Communication System, that supports services in Ubiquitous Communications Infrastructures for Future Transportation Technologies (DCMS-FTT). The performance is improved as it can be seen from the simulation results.


By now, you're hopefully up to your head in theory and have a good handle of where we've been. Now, the authors take you on a different kind of journey, to a place of the future. All bluster aside, there is merit behind grounding yourself in theory (as you no doubt know). In this chapter, they present the major takeaways for instructors. Before they get into these strategies to better assist your learners, they would strongly recommend that you have at least a basic understanding of Backwards Design and Fink's Integrated Teaching Approach. Both of these strategies will help you to design a class that is truly intentional and create a solid foundation for all of the tips and strategies they present. With each tip they provide a small piece of the puzzle that will ultimately help you to engage your learners in a way that provides more learner satisfaction, soft skill development, and helps your evaluations.

AbstractBen Fine and Dimitris Milonakis have done political economy a great service by drawing attention to the insights lost in the twists, turns and reductions in the transition from political economy to economics. These two volumes constitute a solid foundation upon which a new generation can build a political economy for the future. This review presses some of their meta-theoretical arguments a little further than they actually do in an attempt to ‘toughen-up’ the new political economy and make it more able to carry the fight to economics.
