Using Machine Learning to Develop
Personalized Vaccines for Cancer
Yale researchers have developed a machine
learning model, called Immunostruct, that can
help scientists create more personalized
vaccines, including vaccines for cancer. They
described the tool in Nature Machine
Intelligence along with findings from applying
it to cancer and immunology data.
When a potential threat, such as a virus
or tumor, arises in our body, our immune cells
recognize peptides---essentially short
proteins---on the surface of the invader and
mount a defensive response. This small region
that the immune system interacts with is known
as an epitope.
Epitope-based vaccines are an emerging
technology that contain specific peptides in
order to trigger immune responses that
precisely target particular diseases. Ongoing
studies show that these vaccines are a
promising potential immunotherapy for a range
of cancers including melanomas, breast
cancers, and glioblastomas. Researchers are
also investigating whether these vaccines could
more effectively combat new variants of
infectious diseases.
To develop these vaccines, scientists
can use models that help them predict which
peptides are most likely to trigger a strong immune response to a particular antigen. A
limitation of many of these models, the
researchers say, is that they treat peptides as a
one-dimensional sequence of amino acids, not
the three-dimensional, active structures that
they are.
Now, Yale researchers have created a
model that also incorporates structural and
biochemical properties of peptides. In the new
study, they show that the multimodal model is
more effective at identifying peptide candidates
than its predecessors.
"Cancer is extremely heterogeneous---which often makes it very hard to treat
effectively," says Kevin B. Givechian, PhD, an
MD-PhD student at Yale and co-first author on
the study. “We have built a deep-learning model
that integrates more information than had
previously been combined to help us improve
the identification of vaccine targets that
stimulate people's immune system against their
own tumor. Doing so would enable a more
effective and less toxic method of treatment."

ELF and the Brazilian National Core Curriculum
The current Brazilian National Core Curriculum (BNCC) adopts English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) as a guiding concept for English Language Teaching (ELT) across the country’s basic education system. While the measure has sparked debate and controversy, ELF’s inclusion in the document is generally seen as an innovative step. However, its implementation has brought significant challenges, especially for teachers who often lack a clear understanding of the concept or how to incorporate ELF-aware practices into their classrooms. These challenges underscore the pivotal role of teacher education in effectively integrating ELF into ELT in local contexts.

Emotions inspire transformation: delving into EFL teachers’
emotions and professional identities
Emotions in education have attracted significant attention over the
past few years, particularly in language teaching and learning.
Emotions are not just fleeting states but also play a crucial role in
classroom dynamics, influencing both student achievements and
the quality of teaching. In particular, they are instrumental in
influencing teachers’ professional identity, image, affective
commitment level, and even classroom performance because the
emotional experiences of teachers are deep, complex, and
intertwined with their very professional identity. Teaching English
as a Foreign Language (EFL) typically intensifies the emotional
complexity. Subsequent research has extended beyond the
understanding of emotions as solely psychological phenomena,
and emotions are now also understood as sociocultural and
political constructs. Viewed this way, teaching can be seen as
emotional labor: an ongoing demand to demonstrate and regulate
emotions in a way that aligns with professional norms but may lead
to burnout and disillusionment if no coping mechanisms are
provided. The challenges faced by teachers have led to an
increased call for support to help them identify, process, and
respond to emotions. This notion supports conscious emotional work, and as it is no longer viewed solely as remedial practice, it is
a critical first step in developing coherent and resilient professional
identities. The relationship between teacher emotions and identity
is not a linear one; they are in constant and dynamic interplay with
one another. As emotional experiences fluctuate, whether through
student interactions, collegial relationships, or institutionalized
approaches and policies, the teacher’s capacity to develop in a
sense of professional identity also changes.

Sex Pollution
Sex pollution is a concept found in cultural
anthropology
-
specifically in the work of lrzlary Douglas.
In her book Purity and Danger, she examined
some of the different ways modern and more primitive
peoples determine what is clean and unclean.
Douglas explain ed that "dirt is essentially
disorder." When we clean something, we are "positively reordering our environment, making it conform to an idea."
When something or someone is determined to be
dirty, it has been contaminated by a thing from a different
category. Until it is cleaned or purified, it is partially out of
order.
In Douglas's words, "rituals of purity and impurity
create unity in experience." What is out of order becomes alien, dissonant, and suspect, making everyone else
uncomfortable.
Sexual pollution occurs when the sexes interact in
a way that blurs or ofÍends boundaries between males and
females, arrd disorder is created between the sexes.
In the case of men, it is usually believed that sexual
pollution weakens virility and diminishes their masculine
power.
Some readers may be familiar with the primitive
practice of constructing "menstrual huts" that separate
menstruating women from men. Tribes that engaged in
this practice viewed menstruating women as impure or
tainted in some way, and believed that their feminine
impurity could infect or pollute the masculine energy of
the tribe's men
-
ultimately weakening them and making
the tribe as a whole more vulnerable.
Menstrual huts are a simple example of a practice
dealing with the concept of sex pollution. There are a wide
variety of other ways that cultures have sought to contain
female energy to maintain an ordered separation of male
and female sexual identity.
Symbolically speaking, masculine identity always
represents the creation of distance and separation from
the feminine, the safety oÍ the nurturing mother, and a
protected womb-like existence. Virility is established and
maintained by venturing away from the world of women
and out into the wild, dangerous world of the men who
contend with danger and uncertainty at the edge of the
cultural perimeter and beyond. Establishing a masculine
identity always means establishing that men are not
women through the creation or revelation of contrast
between the sexes.

Peru's Nazca lines were paths for prehistoric culture:
Japanese researchers
Tokyo, 16 Jan (EFE).- The mysteries shrouding Peru's
Nazca Lines have intrigued scientists for decades. Now,
a group of Japanese researchers has developed a new
theory that the geoglyphs etched into the ground served
as paths and routes. The lines forged into myriad figures
of animals and plants straddle an area of 1,000 square
kilometers of the immense Ica desert in southern Peru.
They were created during the Nazca culture, a
pre-Columbian archaeological culture that flourished
between the 1st and 7th centuries BC. A research team
led by Masato Sakai, of the University of Yamagata in
western Japan, has discovered, with the help of local
archaeologists, aerial images and drones, over 350 new
etchings since 2004. Sakai says there are two types of
geoglyphs, linear motifs that were created by removing
the upper black stones to reveal the white earth
underneath and raised lines that give the pictorial
representations depth and that archeologists call relief
lines. «The linear ones exist at the beginning and end of
straight paths and can be used to travel from one valley
to another (...) while the relief ones are on the sides of
paths that are not straight and are usually etched on a
slope,» the expert says. The meaning of the lines has
long been up for debate. Some say they represented an
astronomical calendar, others considered they were
religious figures and some have even suggested that
they serve as landing pads for UFOs. «I'm interested in
letters,» Sakai says. «Everyone uses alphabets, but in
Andean civilization, they didn't have that way of
communicating, so I wanted to discover how they did
(communicate).»
The researcher is convinced that the Nazca lines were
used as a means of prehistoric communication
Despite their antiquity, the geoglyphs were not
discovered until 1930 because these could only be
appreciated with an aerial view or from some of the site's
surrounding hills. The team of Japanese researchers
started the project using satellite and aerial photos, and
more recently using drones, and have now identified
hundreds of figures, including a spider, a monkey, a
hummingbird, a condor, a pelican, a gull, a snail, a whale,
a snake and a llama. The team struck a deal with tech
giant IBM in 2019 and have tapped into state-of-the-art
artificial intelligence (AI) that could help reveal the
location of more figures and help with deciphering their
meaning. «It is always a hypothesis, but we hope that
with AI we can check whether theories are correct or
suggest better ones that coincide with the new data,» the
expert adds. Finding all the figures, which according to
the expert could be in the thousands, is key to their
conservation from both the weather and mining and
agriculture which is prevalent in the region. «For the
people of Nazca, the geoglyphs are a source of pride because the city is not very big, but many people come to
see the figures. When we find new ones, we share the
information with the local people because we know that
they will respect and defend them, because it is the work
of their ancestors» Sakai says. EFE

Underground library in Warsaw metro invites
commuters to trade scrolling for stories
In Warsaw’s Targówek district, a metro ride has
become more than a daily routine. Now it offers a
chance to escape into a story. Thanks to Metroteka, a
newly opened subterranean library inside the
Kondratowicza M2 metro station, commuters can now
trade mindless scrolling for meaningful reading.
The 150-square-meter space is stocked with more than
16,000 books, all available through a fast self-checkout
system. Visitors can also borrow laptops, sip
complimentary coffee, and unwind in a cozy communal
area, all while waiting for their train.
“Our dream is for Metroteka to become an educational
and cultural center, and not just a place where you can
borrow your books from,” says Grażyna StrzelczakBatkowska, deputy director of the Targówek library.
A modern space that breathes life into books
Metroteka’s design is as inviting as its mission. A lush
hydroponic garden wall filled with herbs and flowers
gives the underground space a breath of fresh air,
literally. Basil, oregano, and other plants grow without
soil or sunlight, infusing the library with an unexpected
sense of vitality. The bookshelves, shaped like soft,
undulating waves, add to the organic feel.
“I always joke that books are not made of glass,”
Strzelczak-Batkowska says. “You can just pop in, grab
a few, throw them on a self-checkout machine, and
that’s it—you’re out on a new adventure.”
Aiming to reverse a national trend
Poland’s reading habits have been in steady decline for
years. A 2024 survey by the National Library of Poland
found that only 41 percent of respondents had read at
least one book in the past year. According to Tomasz
Makowski, director of the National Library, the legacy
of war has shaped these numbers. During World War
II, Poland lost 70 percent of its libraries.
“We had several generations that did not see their
parents or grandparents in front of a wall of books,”
Makowski says. “Reading is [also] not something
associated with adulthood, but with schools, teachers,
librarians, and usually mothers reading to children.”
By placing literature in the path of everyday
commuters, Metroteka hopes to shift that cultural
perception.
An open invitation to all
For Makowski, the location is just as important as the
books. “Opening a library in a metro station is like a
dream for us,” he says. “Libraries should be beautiful
and open; inviting, not intimidating. It’s not a shrine, but
a place where you can spend time freely, take part in
discussions, public consultations, or meet people.”
In the coming months, Metroteka plans to host author
readings, workshops, and classes to further engage the
community. Books can be returned either directly to the
library or via parcel lockers outside the station,
available around the clock.
As commuters pass through Kondratowicza station
with coffee in hand and a novel tucked under one arm,
Metroteka quietly transforms daily routines into cultural
moments. By meeting people where they are, literally
underground, the library isn’t just promoting reading.
It’s redefining what public space can offer.

Flights resume in Sao Paulo after
brief airspace closure due to technical issue
SAO PAULO, April 9 (Reuters) - The airspace of Sao Paulo has
been reopened following a brief closure on Thursday morning,
the Congonhas and Guarulhos airports' operators and the
Brazilian Air Force said in separate statements.
Operators for the local Congonhas Airport and Guarulhos
International Airport had said earlier that all landings and
takeoffs had been suspended in the city due to what the
Congonhas' operator said was an "electrical failure."
Brazil's Air Force, which is responsible for national air traffic,

a "technical operational issue" as the reason for the incident,
without providing further details.
Guarulhos' operator said the issue did not happen at its
airport, the busiest in Latin America.
As operators rushed to mitigate the impacts, Brazil's civil
aviation regulator said it implemented a series of initial measures
outlined in its pre-crisis protocol, with the aim of monitoring the
consequences of the incident.

Flights resume in Sao Paulo after
brief airspace closure due to technical issue
SAO PAULO, April 9 (Reuters) - The airspace of Sao Paulo has
been reopened following a brief closure on Thursday morning,
the Congonhas and Guarulhos airports' operators and the
Brazilian Air Force said in separate statements.
Operators for the local Congonhas Airport and Guarulhos
International Airport had said earlier that all landings and
takeoffs had been suspended in the city due to what the
Congonhas' operator said was an "electrical failure."
Brazil's Air Force, which is responsible for national air traffic,
said the suspension lasted just over half an hour, adding it found
a "technical operational issue" as the reason for the incident,
without providing further details.

TEXT I
The Growing Complexity of Airspace
The aviation industry has witnessed unprecedented growth in recent years. The number of flights, both commercial and private, has surged, resulting in a more congested airspace. This increased traffic volume places immense strain on air traffic controllers, who must manage a complex web of aircraft movements with precision and efficiency.
Moreover, the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) into the airspace adds another layer of complexity. While drones offer various benefits, their unregulated use poses significant risks to commercial aviation. Harmonizing the operations of manned and unmanned aircraft is a major challenge that requires careful consideration and robust regulations.
Despite advancements in aviation technology, the air traffic control system still relies heavily on outdated infrastructure and systems. Many air traffic control centers operate with aging equipment that is prone to failures and lacks the capacity to handle the increasing volume of traffic. This infrastructure gap can lead to delays, inefficiencies, and safety concerns.
Furthermore, the integration of new technologies, such as advanced automation and data analytics, has been slow. While these technologies hold the potential to revolutionize air traffic management, their implementation has been hindered by various factors, including cost, interoperability, and cybersecurity concerns.
Air traffic control is a high-pressure job that demands exceptional focus, decision-making skills, and situational awareness. While air traffic controllers undergo rigorous training, human error remains a significant risk factor. Factors such as fatigue, stress, and workload can contribute to mistakes that have serious consequences. […]
The increasing reliance on technology in the aviation industry has made it a prime target for cyberattacks. Air traffic control systems are critical infrastructure and must be protected from malicious actors. A successful cyberattack could have catastrophic consequences, including loss of life and economic damage. […]
Addressing the problems facing air traffic control requires a multi-faceted approach involving collaboration between government agencies, aviation industry stakeholders, and technology providers.

Reading habits among children have changed significantly over the last decade. Many students now spend more time on screens than with printed books. While digital reading platforms can offer convenience and interactive features, they may also reduce concentration and deep comprehension.
Teachers and parents are encouraged to promote balanced reading habits by combining traditional books with digital resources. Creating reading routines at home and in school can help children develop stronger vocabulary, imagination, and critical thinking.
Encouraging reading should not be seen as an obligation alone, but as an opportunity for discovery and pleasure. When students associate reading with positive experiences, they are more likely to become lifelong readers.
The word “encouraged” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to:
