This document compares the theories of neorealism and neoliberalism in international relations. It defines neorealism as focusing on the structure of the international system and how it shapes outcomes, while neoliberalism believes states pursue absolute gains rather than relative gains over other states. The document outlines some key similarities and differences between the two theories, such as their views on international cooperation and priorities of states. It concludes that while the theories have differences in focus, they share underlying assumptions about the international system and nation states.
The presentation is on neoliberalism in international relations. The emergence of neoliberalism and convergence and difference of neoliberalism and structural realism as well as barriers to international cooperation is presented.

Relations among states take place in the absence of a world government. For realists, this means that the international system is anarchical. International relations are best understood by focusing on the distribution of power among states. Despite their formal legal equality, the uneven distribution of power means that the arena of international relations is a form of ‘power politics’. Power is hard to measure; its distribution among states changes over time and there is no consensus among states about how it should be distributed. International relations is therefore a realm of necessity (states must seek power to survive in a competitive environment) and continuity over time. When realists contemplate change in the international system, they focus on changes in the balance of power among states, and tend to discount the possibility of fundamental change in the dynamics of the system itself.
The following key thinkers all subscribe to these basic assumptions in their explorations of the following questions:
(1) What are the main sources of stability and instability in the international system?
(2) What is the actual and preferred balance of power among states?
(3) How should the great powers behave toward one another and toward weaker states?
(4) What are the sources and dynamics of contemporary changes in the balance of power?
Despite some shared assumptions about the nature of international relations, realists are not all of one voice in answering these questions, and it would be wrong to believe that shared assumptions lead to similar conclusions among them. In fact, there is sharp disagreement over the relative merits of particular balances of power (unipolarity, bipolarity and multipolarity). There is also much debate over the causal relationship between states and the international pressures upon them, and the relative importance of different kinds of power in contemporary international relations.
Peace of Westphalia (1648) not only created the modern nation-state system in Europe but also stipulated the basic rules of statecraft.
Despite all the criticisms, the concept of state and nation took firm roots in most parts of the world, thanks to colonialism.
However, it is now facing existential challenges from different sources
This presentation is all about the modern nation-state system, its origin, essential elements, challenges it is facing, & its future prospects
This presentation is on structural realism. It explains the different or similar views of offensive and defensive realists on stability, war and best possible stable international system.

FOR two decades international relations theory has been dominated by the debate between neorealists and their various critics.1 Much
of the skirmishing has occurred over questions about the nature of the
international system and its effect on patterns of international out
comes such as war and peace. Thus scholars have disputed whether a
multipolar system generates more conflict than a bipolar one, or

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Evolution: Provides insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
Medicine: Understanding mitochondrial inheritance helps in diagnosing and treating mitochondrial diseases.
Agriculture: Chloroplast inheritance can be used in plant breeding and genetic modification.
Slide 9: Recent Research and Advances
Gene Editing: Techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 are being used to edit mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA.
Therapies: Development of mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) for preventing mitochondrial diseases.
Slide 10: Conclusion
Summary: Extrachromosomal inheritance involves the transmission of genetic material outside the nucleus and plays a crucial role in genetics, medicine, and biotechnology.
Future Directions: Continued research and technological advancements hold promise for new treatments and applications.

1. The Comparison of Neorealism and
Neoliberalism
SUBJECT: THEORY OF IR
LECTURER: DR. KONCAK
STUDENT: DZHUMAGUL MALDYBAEVA
GROUP: IR-4A
International Ataturk – Alatoo University
3. What is a Neorealism?
Neorealism is an ideological departure from Hans Morgenthau's writing
on classical realism. Classical realism originally explained the machinations
of international politics as being based on human nature, and therefore
subject to the ego and emotion of world leaders.
Neorealism is often called “structural realism,” which signifies that the
theory primarily centers on the effects of the structure of the international
system when it seeks to explain outcomes in international politics.
4. What is a Neoliberalism?
Neoliberalism refers to a school of thought which believes that states are,
or at least should be, concerned first and foremost with absolute
gains rather than relative gains to other states. Neoliberalism is not the
same as neoliberal economic ideology, although both theories use
common methodologies, which include game theory.
Robert Keohane and Joseph Nye are considered the founders of the
neoliberal school of thought
5. Similarities and differences
Neoliberalism
Neoliberals recognize that the
international system is
characterized by some "anarchy",
however, unlike the neorealist
emphasizing its fundamental
value consider that certain models
of interactions between the states
were developed.
Neorealism
neorealists agree with neoliberals
that the international cooperation
is possible, but unlike them they
say that cooperation is difficult to
achieve and more dependent on
the governments.
6. Similarities and differences
Neoliberalism
supporters of both approaches
agree with such priorities of the
states as national power and
economic wellbeing, but
neorealists attach bigger
significance to the first priority,
and neoliberals - to the second.
Neorealism
neorealists insist that cooperation
brings relative benefit) and
neoliberals - that she is absolutely
favorable to its participants.
7. Similarities and differences
Neoliberalism
neorealists recognize influence
and impact of the international
organizations on the international
relations, but believe that
neoliberals exaggerate their value.
Neorealism
unlike neoliberals neorealists
emphasize value of the valid
opportunities, resources of the
states, than their political
intentions more.
8. Conclusion
Both ‘neo’ theoretical approaches have their differences, neorealists focus primarily
on high politics and neoliberal institutionalists focus on low politics, but regardless
of this, they both share similar worldviews.They share a comparable epistemology
and ontology, focus on similar questions, and have a number of assumptions about
world politics, solidifying the IR mainstream against reflectivist attacks. The
assumptions shared by neo-neo purport that there is no common authority and
states are unitary and interest-maximizing actors. To conclude, I firmly believe that
the evolution of both neorealism and neoliberal institutionalism has resulted in
these theories falling under one header, and has subsequently together come
under fire from positivist attacks.
