What Should be the Agenda of a Presidential Commission to Study the International Application of U.S. Antitrust Law
If the proposed Presidential Commission to study the Interna- tional Application of the U.S. Antitrust Law (Commission)\u27 is to com- plete its work within the one year period contemplated and is to achieve more than a superficial gloss of a large and complex area, I believe it will be necessary for the Commission to concentrate its atten- tion on the conflicts between the four important goals of foreign eco- nomic policy

We Need More Old-Time Relglion : A Response To Jim Rahl
Jim Rahl believes in the old-fashioned religion of open global markets and free international competition, uncontaminated by private or public restraints. He has pursued this goal brilliantly, aggressively, and consistently for more than thirty years. While the problem Jim presents in this issue indicates his frustration that we are still far from achieving the goal, it is in no small part thanks to him, and the force of his scholar- ship and advocacy, that some real progress has been made

Medical and pharmacy students’ perspectives of remote synchronous interprofessional education sessions
Background
Interprofessional education (IPE) at university level is an essential component of undergraduate healthcare curricula, as well as being a requirement of many associated regulatory bodies. In this study, the perception of pharmacy and medical students’ of remote IPE was evaluated.
Methods
A series of IPE sessions took place via Zoom and students’ feedback was collected after each session. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analysed.
Results
72% (23/32) of medical students strongly agreed that the sessions had helped to improve their appreciation of the role of pharmacists, whereas 37% (22/59) of pharmacy students strongly agreed, reporting a median response of ‘somewhat agreeing’, that their appreciation of the role of general practitioners had improved. This difference was found to be statistically significant (p = 0.0143). Amongst students who responded, 55% (53/97) identified remote teaching as their preferred mode of delivery for an IPE session.
Conclusions
The survey demonstrated that the students valued the development of their prescribing skills as well as the ancillary skills gained, such as communication and teamwork. Remote IPE can be a practical means of improving medical and pharmacy students’ understanding of each other’s professional roles, as well as improving the skills required for prescribing
From fat droplets to floating forests: cross-domain transfer learning using a PatchGAN-based segmentation model
Many scientific domains gather sufficient labels to train machine algorithms
through human-in-the-loop techniques provided by the Zooniverse.org citizen
science platform. As the range of projects, task types and data rates increase,
acceleration of model training is of paramount concern to focus volunteer
effort where most needed. The application of Transfer Learning (TL) between
Zooniverse projects holds promise as a solution. However, understanding the
effectiveness of TL approaches that pretrain on large-scale generic image sets
vs. images with similar characteristics possibly from similar tasks is an open
challenge. We apply a generative segmentation model on two Zooniverse
project-based data sets: (1) to identify fat droplets in liver cells
(FatChecker; FC) and (2) the identification of kelp beds in satellite images
(Floating Forests; FF) through transfer learning from the first project. We
compare and contrast its performance with a TL model based on the COCO image
set, and subsequently with baseline counterparts. We find that both the FC and
COCO TL models perform better than the baseline cases when using >75% of the
original training sample size. The COCO-based TL model generally performs
better than the FC-based one, likely due to its generalized features. Our
investigations provide important insights into usage of TL approaches on
multi-domain data hosted across different Zooniverse projects, enabling future
projects to accelerate task completion.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication at the Proceedings of

Lewy Body Dementia Association\u27s Research Centers of Excellence Program: Inaugural Meeting Proceedings.
The first Lewy Body Dementia Association (LBDA) Research Centers of Excellence (RCOE) Investigator\u27s meeting was held on December 14, 2017, in New Orleans. The program was established to increase patient access to clinical experts on Lewy body dementia (LBD), which includes dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson\u27s disease dementia (PDD), and to create a clinical trials-ready network. Four working groups (WG) were created to pursue the LBDA RCOE aims: (1) increase access to high-quality clinical care, (2) increase access to support for people living with LBD and their caregivers, (3) increase knowledge of LBD among medical and allied (or other) professionals, and (4) create infrastructure for a clinical trials-ready network as well as resources to advance the study of new therapeutics
