The modernity of Dedekind’s anticipations contained in What are numbers and what are they good for?

Archive for History of Exact Sciences - We show that Dedekind, in his proof of the principle of definition by mathematical recursion, used implicitly both the concept of an inductive cone from an...     

The expansion of GPCR transactivation-dependent signalling to include serine/threonine kinase receptors represents a new cell signalling frontier

G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signalling is mediated through transactivation-independent signalling pathways or the transactivation of protein tyrosine kinase receptors and the recently reported activation of the serine/threonine kinase receptors, most notably the transforming growth factor-β receptor family. Since the original observation of GPCR transactivation of protein tyrosine kinase receptors, there has been considerable work on the mechanism of transactivation and several pathways are prominent. These pathways include the “triple membrane bypass” pathway and the generation of reactive oxygen species. The recent recognition of GPCR transactivation of serine/threonine kinase receptors enormously broadens the GPCR signalling paradigm. It may be predicted that the transactivation of serine/threonine kinase receptors would have mechanistic similarities with transactivation of tyrosine kinase pathways; however, initial studies suggest that these two transactivation pathways are mechanistically distinct. Important questions are the relative importance of tyrosine and serine/threonine transactivation pathways, the contribution of transactivation to overall GPCR signalling, mechanisms of transactivation and the range of cell types in which this phenomenon occurs. The ultimate significance of transactivation-dependent signalling remains to be defined but it appears to be prominent and if so will represent a new cell signalling frontier.

视觉文化及其教育价值反思

在语言文字文化之后出现的现代视觉文化以其突出的媒介特性对整个文化的特性产生了深刻的影响，文字文本的传统优势地位受到影像文本的挤占，这一变化促进了教育的向前发展，也对教育产生了许多负面影响。解决这一两难问题的策略就是使视觉文化与传统语言文字文化有相结合，各取所长，共同推动教育的繁荣和发展，而且只有当我们的教育工作者、学生以及社会各界对视觉文化有正确的认识，才能令视觉文化朝正确的方向发展，推进教育的进步，而不是等它给我们的教育带来严重恶果时才来思考是谁惹的祸。
