TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the impact of migration prospects on human capital formation and growth in a small, open developing economy and derive the theoretical conditions required for such a possibility to be observed.

Abstract: This paper presents the Third PASCAL Recognising Textual Entailment Challenge (RTE-3), providing an overview of the dataset creating methodology and the submitted systems. In creating this year's dataset, a number of longer texts were introduced to make the challenge more oriented to realistic scenarios. Additionally, a pool of resources was offered so that the participants could share common tools. A pilot task was also set up, aimed at differentiating unknown entailments from identified contradictions and providing justifications for overall system decisions. 26 participants submitted 44 runs, using different approaches and generally presenting new entailment models and achieving higher scores than in the previous challenges.

TL;DR: It is indicated that healthcare staff involved in the care of COVID-19 positive patients, and individuals considering themselves at risk of disease, were more likely to self-report acquiescence to CO VID-19 vaccination if and when available, and parents, nurses, and medical workers not caring for SARS-CoV-2 positive patients expressed higher levels of vaccine hesitancy.
Abstract: Vaccine hesitancy remains a barrier to full population inoculation against highly infectious diseases. Coincident with the rapid developments of COVID-19 vaccines globally, concerns about the safety of such a vaccine could contribute to vaccine hesitancy. We analyzed 1941 anonymous questionnaires completed by healthcare workers and members of the general Israeli population, regarding acceptance of a potential COVID-19 vaccine. Our results indicate that healthcare staff involved in the care of COVID-19 positive patients, and individuals considering themselves at risk of disease, were more likely to self-report acquiescence to COVID-19 vaccination if and when available. In contrast, parents, nurses, and medical workers not caring for SARS-CoV-2 positive patients expressed higher levels of vaccine hesitancy. Interventional educational campaigns targeted towards populations at risk of vaccine hesitancy are therefore urgently needed to combat misinformation and avoid low inoculation rates.

TL;DR: It is shown that N6-methyladenosine (m6A), a messenger RNA (mRNA) modification present on transcripts of pluripotency factors, drives this transition from the pluripotent to the differentiated state.
Abstract: Naive and primed pluripotent states retain distinct molecular properties, yet limited knowledge exists on how their state transitions are regulated. Here, we identify Mettl3, an N(6)-methyladenosine (m(6)A) transferase, as a regulator for terminating murine naive pluripotency. Mettl3 knockout preimplantation epiblasts and naive embryonic stem cells are depleted for m(6)A in mRNAs, yet are viable. However, they fail to adequately terminate their naive state and, subsequently, undergo aberrant and restricted lineage priming at the postimplantation stage, which leads to early embryonic lethality. m(6)A predominantly and directly reduces mRNA stability, including that of key naive pluripotency-promoting transcripts. This study highlights a critical role for an mRNA epigenetic modification in vivo and identifies regulatory modules that functionally influence naive and primed pluripotency in an opposing manner.

TL;DR: In this article, the surface chemistry developed on Li electrodes in electrolyte solutions for Li-S batteries was rigorously studied using Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies.
Abstract: Li(metal)-sulfur (Li-S) systems are among the rechargeable batteries of the highest possible energy density due to the high capacity of both electrodes. The surface chemistry developed on Li electrodes in electrolyte solutions for Li-S batteries was rigorously studied using Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. A special methodology was developed for handling the highly reactive Li samples. It was possible to analyze the contribution of solvents such as 1-3 dioxolane, the electrolyte LiN(SO 2 CF 3 ) 2 , polysulfide (Li 2 S n ), and LiNO 3 additives to protective surface films that are formed on the Li electrodes. The role of LiNO 3 as a critical component whose presence in solutions prevents a shuttle mechanism that limits the capacity of the sulfur electrodes is discussed and explained herein.
