Liberating Bodies:Sexualities and Critiques of Capital
This special issue provides a platform for critical analysis and debates that shed light on the complex and often contradictory ways through which sexualities and capital are related to, shaped by, and constitutive of each other. It aims to provide insight into sexual politics as funda-mental technologies of power within capitalism, and how sexual oppression under capitalism fo-ments critiques of domination and communities of resistance. In this introduction, we sketch out these emerging debates as we contextualise key contemporary discussions concerning the inter-section between sexualities and capital across different fi elds. We insist on the relevance and ur-gency of these discussions, including topics such as communities and/of resistance as well as one crucial question that this issueâs forum discussion tries to address collectively, namely, âwhy do we put up with it all?âpublishedVersio
Blending Learning: The Evolution of Online and Face-to-Face Education from 20082015
In 2008, iNACOL produced a series of papers documenting promising practices identified throughout the field of Kâ12 online learning. Since then, we have witnessed a tremendous acceleration of transformative policy and practice driving personalized learning in the Kâ12 education space. State, district, school, and classroom leaders recognize that the ultimate potential for blended and online learning lies in the opportunity to transform the education system and enable higher levels of learning through competency-based approaches.iNACOL's core work adds significant value to the field by providing a powerful practitioner voice in policy advocacy, communications, and in the creation of resources and best practices to enable transformational change in Kâ12 education.We worked with leaders throughout the field to update these resources for a new generation of pioneers working towards the creation of student-centered learning environments.This refreshed series, Promising Practices in Blended and Online Learning, explores some of the approaches developed by practitioners and policymakers in response to key issues in Kâ12 education, including:Blended Learning: The Evolution of Online and Face-to-Face Education from 2008-2015;Using Blended and Online Learning for Credit Recovery and At-Risk Students;Oversight and Management of Blended and Online Programs: Ensuring Quality and Accountability; andFunding and Legislation for Blended and Online Education.Personalized learning environments provide the very best educational opportunities and personalized pathways for all students, with highly qualified teachers delivering world-class instruction using innovative digital resources and content. Through this series of white papers, we are pleased to share the promising practices in Kâ12 blended, online, and competency education transforming teaching and learning today

Heterogeneity between Core Needle Biopsy and Synchronous Axillary Lymph Node Metastases in Early Breast Cancer Patients: A Comparison of HER2, Estrogen and Progesterone Receptor Expression Profiles during Primary Treatment Regime
In breast cancer therapeutic decisions are based on the expression of estrogen (ER), progesterone
(PR), the human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) receptors and the proliferation marker Ki67.
However, only little is known concerning heterogeneity between the primary tumor and axillary
lymph node metastases (LNM) in the primary site. We retrospectively analyzed receptor profiles of
215 early breast cancer patients with axillary synchronous LNM. Of our cohort, 69% were therapy
naive and did not receive neoadjuvant treatment. Using immunohistochemistry, receptor status and
Ki67 were compared between core needle biopsy of the tumor (t-CNB) and axillary LNM obtained
during surgery. The discordance rates between t-CNB and axillary LNM were 12% for HER2, 6%
for ER and 20% for PR. Receptor discordance appears to already occur at the primary site. Receptor
losses might play a role concerning overtreatment concomitant with adverse drug effects, while
receptor gains might be an option for additional targeted or endocrine therapy. Hence, not only
receptor profiles of the tumor tissue but also of the synchronous axillary LNM should be considered
in the choice of treatment

âBeyond being analysts of doomâ: scientists on the frontlines of climate action
What happens when scientists become activists? In this paper, we discuss the principles, commitments and experiences of Scientist Rebellion (SR), a movement of scientists, academics, and researchers committed to activism, advocacy and non-violent civil disobedience against the (in)actions of governments, corporations and other institutions, including academic ones. In sharing experiences from the frontlines of direct actions with SR along with the perspectives from individual scientists, coming from a variety of geographical locations, and a range of academic levels and disciplines, we reflect on the need to transgress the boundaries of a system of knowledge production and education that is effectively reproducing the very structures that have led us into climate and ecological crises. This article provides a reflective and critical engagement with Scientist Rebellion, drawing on a range of interviews with activists, as well as material from and about Scientist Rebellion. We conclude with a reflection on the relation between scientists and their institutions, as well as a mobilizing plea to the scientific community to take action.Peer Reviewe
