The focus of this special issue is the changes to Initial Teacher Education (ITE) that have been instituted in Wales over the last two years. At the heart of the new approach is the insistence that in the future all programmes of ITE should be planned, led and delivered not by universities alone, but by universities working in close collaboration with a number of partner schools. But what is the justification for these radical changes? Why is a collaborative approach between universities and schools needed? This paper, which takes the form of a personal literature review, sets out the research evidence on which I drew in contributing the reform process. It considers evidence on three issues: the role of schools; the role of universities; and the ways in which they can effectively work together.

Abstract This special issue argues in favor of a new approach to the study of norms of warfare, which combines a normative analysis of ethical problems arising in war with an explanatory analysis of the use of force. Norms of warfare go as far back as Antiquity, and their study has followed a long historical path. In recent years, the ethics of war, mostly grounded in philosophy, has considerably expanded as a field. Notwithstanding such efforts to refine our normative knowledge of what should be just norms for the use of force, we argue that a more interdisciplinary approach is required to orient the study of the laws of war. In this Special Issue, proposals are made that, along with normative analysis, bring to the discussion not only disciplines such as political science and international relations, but also social theory, psychology and the neurosciences. We argue from a non-ideal perspective, that in order for norms to be just, they need to be ‘plausible’ for those who should abide by them. They also need to make sense in the context of democratic societies that favor a pluralistic debate on justice and ethics. Epistemically, we argue that, in order to understand if norms are plausible and just, reducing the gap between the normative and the empirical is required.

This editorial summarizes and discusses the themes of eleven articles (five reviews and six original studies) published in the Special Issue “Molecular Research On Platelet Activity in Health and Disease”. They give an international picture of the up-to-date understanding of (i) platelet signalling under physiological and pathological conditions, (ii) novel technologies for monitoring platelet functions and (iii) clinical applications of platelet-based-therapy for management of pathological conditions, not directly related to haemostasis and thrombosis.

The Stability

Quantifying the distribution of nanomaterials in complex samples is of great significance to the toxicological research of nanomaterials as well as their clinical applications. Radiotracer technology is a powerful tool for biological and environmental tracing of nanomaterials because it has the advantages of high sensitivity and high reliability, and can be matched with some spatially resolved technologies for non-invasive, real-time detection. However, the radiolabeling operation of nanomaterials is relatively complicated, and fundamental studies on how to optimize the experimental procedures for the best radiolabeling of nanomaterials are still needed. This minireview looks back into the methods of radiolabeling of nanomaterials in previous work, and highlights the superiority of the “last-step” labeling strategy. At the same time, the problems existing in the stability test of radiolabeling and the suggestions for further improvement are also addressed.
