Partition complexes, duality and integral tree representations
We show that the poset of non-trivial partitions of 1,2,...,n has a
fundamental homology class with coefficients in a Lie superalgebra. Homological
duality then rapidly yields a range of known results concerning the integral
representations of the symmetric groups S_n and S_{n+1} on the homology and
cohomology of this partially-ordered set.Comment: Published by Algebraic and Geometric Topology at

Preoperative Skin Conditioning: Extracellular Matrix Clearance and Skin Bed Preparation, A New Paradigm.
This paper introduces the concept of "skin bed preparation" prior to surgical procedures. Following the theory of chronic wound bed preparation and adapting the skin model to one of chronic wound changes related to extrinsic and intrinsic factors, a topical formulation aimed at recycling the extracellular matrix (ECM) from accumulated waste products is evaluated and discussed. The clearance of these products and stimulation of new replacements has the potential to change the regenerative milieu of the skin so that when procedures are carried out, cellular signaling and cross-talk at the dermal level are improved and healing is optimized. By introducing a combination of peptides and other synergistic active agents, a sequence of clearance, regeneration, and remodeling is initiated. This is confirmed and validated by a series of biopsies and clinical studies that demonstrate changes in the ECM as early as 2 to 3 weeks after application. Clinical studies related to resurfacing procedures show accelerated healing and improved symptomatic relief compared with standard of care by preconditioning the skin 2 weeks prior to the procedure. A similar approach is suggested as a potential advantage for invasive surgical procedures based on similar scientific principles elucidated on in the text
Representatives in Government - A Role for Social Planning Councils
Excerpt from the full-text article:
I have referred to a key problem of how to make individual and group concerns known to the decision makers without ignoring the weakly organized and unorganized-and without putting both the legislators and administrators in the position of merely ratifying bargaining negotiated between these interest groups. I have suggested non-governmental Social Planning Councils have a potentially significant role to play in the changing need for representativeness for the myriad of strong, weak and unorganized groups and individuals.
This role recognizes the feedback benefits resulting from the proposition that people learn to participate by participating, and that social planning councils can provide neutral professional expertise to help accelerate that learning process. This role for social planning councils, through the involvement of interested and progressively better informed citizens, allows for the collection and dissemination of information that could be an important source for augmenting citizen participation in social decision-making.
Despite the seeming Intolerance between the discipline and the profession, and the seeming communications gaps between each of the four models in each of the fields, It is clear that each of the models serves a purpose In the discipline, In the profession and in society. If the social distance between these models can be bridged and If increased tolerance for the seeming mutual incongruity of concepts and behavior is achieved, we may yet be successful in making Sociology and Social Work as useful, relevant and necessary as was manifested In their original purposes posed by their forebears
