Online Chinese Learning aims to investigate the types of language learning strategies (LLSs) that online Chinese learners use across asynchronous and synchronous learning environments in different learning contexts. This book examines how the use of language learning strategies by online Chinese learners is influenced by the interactants; the characteristics of the specific learning context; and selected individual learner characteristics. This book will provide: (1) new and detailed information about students’ LLS use in online Chinese learning; (2) insights into how individual students adopt LLSs and technological tools to solve learning problems in various learning contexts; (3) an exploration of factors influencing LLS use; and (4) recommendations regarding LLS adoption, use, and training. This book will be a valuable resource for university instructors in languages, language teaching methods, and second language acquisition, as well as researchers in languages, linguistics, and language learning and teaching.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death. Every year, many anticancer drug candidates are discovered and synthesized, but the major challenge lies in identifying, characterizing and evaluating their efficacy. The aim of this Research Topic, "New Mechanisms for Anti-Cancer Drugs" is to collect a group of publications focused on novel chemical compounds exhibiting new modes of actions and/or new target proteins to fulfill their cytotoxic activity on cancer cells. In this context, we will also be pleased to consider studies on drug repurposing, including approved, discontinued, and shelved drugs, when anti-cancer activity results from an unexpected mode of action.

From the airlines we fly to the food we eat, how a tiny group of corporations have come to dominate every aspect of our lives—by one of our most intrepid and accomplished journalists "If you're looking for a book . . . that will get your heart pumping and your blood boiling and that will remind you why we're in these fights—add this one to your list." —Senator Elizabeth Warren on David Dayen's Chain of Title Over the last forty years our choices have narrowed, our opportunities have shrunk, and our lives have become governed by a handful of very large and very powerful corporations. Today, practically everything we buy, everywhere we shop, and every service we secure comes from a heavily concentrated market. This is a world where four major banks control most of our money, four airlines shuttle most of us around the country, and four major cell phone providers connect most of our communications. If you are sick you can go to one of three main pharmacies to fill your prescription, and if you end up in a hospital almost every accessory to heal you comes from one of a handful of large medical suppliers. Dayen, the editor of the American Prospect and author of the acclaimed Chain of Title, provides a riveting account of what it means to live in this new age of monopoly and how we might resist this corporate hegemony. Through vignettes and vivid case studies Dayen shows how these monopolies have transformed us, inverted us, and truly changed our lives, at the same time providing readers with the raw material to make monopoly a consequential issue in American life and revive a long-dormant antitrust movement.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the EUROCALL society succeeded in holding the 28th EUROCALL conference, EUROCALL2020, on 20-21 August as an online, two-day gathering. The transition process required to make this happen was demanding and insightful for everyone involved, and, in many ways, a logical consequence of the core content and purpose of EUROCALL. Who would be better suited to transform an onsite conference into an online event than EUROCALL? CALL for widening participation was this year’s theme. We welcomed contributions from both theoretical and practical perspectives in relation to the many forms and contexts of CALL. We particularly welcomed longitudinal studies or studies that revisited earlier studies. The academic committee accepted 300 abstracts for paper presentations, symposia, workshops, and posters under this theme; 57 short papers are published in this volume. We hope you will enjoy reading this volume, the first one to reflect a one hundred percent online EUROCALL conference/Online Gathering.

A Thorough Compilation of the Many Scientific Breakthroughs in the Ongoing Development of Precision Cancer Therapies Related to Lymphoma Targeting Oncogenic Drivers and Signaling Pathways in Lymphoid Malignancies: From Concept to Practice focuses on lymphoma, an area which has seen a remarkable number of breakthroughs in the ongoing development of precision cancer therapies. Each section on a specific biology or class of drugs has an introductory chapter written by an authority in the field, exclusively focused on the science and its relevance to cancer biology. This approach addresses the need for scientists, physicians, and the private sector to understand the broader context of the extraordinary advances that have produced such astonishing advances in the disease. The work primarily focuses on how to understand and translate fundamental principles of basic science into information that can be directly applied to patients – hence the subtitle, From Concept to Practice. To aid in readers’ comprehension, the first page of each chapter contains a box entitled ‘Take Home Points’. This short text will highlight the major unique points about the information contained within the chapter. Some of the key topics addressed in the work are as follows: Biological basis of the lymphoid malignancies: fundamental principles of lymphomagenesis and molecular classification of lymphoid malignancies Targeting programmed cell death: principles for understanding the many types of cell death and promising combinations of drugs targeting apoptosis Targeting the PI3K pathway: understanding the intricacies of this complex biology and precisely how targeted drugs can be leveraged therapeutically Targeting the cancer epigenome: pharmacologic features of drugs targeting the epigenome and future prospects for targeting various aspects of epigenetic control Targeting the tumour proteome: understanding the mechanisms of protein degradation in cancer including both older drugs like proteasome inhibitors, and newer PROTAC based approaches Written primarily for scientists and physicians in both the public and private sectors, Targeting Oncogenic Drivers and Signaling Pathways in Lymphoid Malignancies: From Concept to Practice is a comprehensive reference work for those interested in the growing area of Precision Cancer Therapies. Seamlessly integrating the basic and applied science, this volume will be an indispensable reference for those interested in translating the most important advances in science to innovative novel treatments for patients.
