    What happens in the brain when people smoke?
    When nicotine enters the lungs, it’s in the brain 20 seconds later. In this journey, nicotine has traveled through the cells in the lungs to the blood — and then from the blood to the brain, passing through the blood‑brain barrier. In all, nicotine passes through six membranes when it’s smoked or vaped.
    Once nicotine is in the brain, it activates the most sensitive nicotinic receptors on membranes of nerve cells, or neurons, but it also travels through the membrane to enter the neuron. Finally, it passes into the organelles of the neuron, where proteins, including the nicotinic receptor, are being made. When a person smokes, nicotine actually helps the cell to assemble more nicotinic receptors, which travel out of the endoplasmic reticulum (part of the cellular transportation system) and onto the surface of the cell. It’s as though nicotine is acting as a pharmacological “chaperone” to bring those receptors to the surface of the cell.
    We have labeled this process “inside out” pharmacology. In trying to unravel the cell biology of nicotine addiction, my lab and others study how this so‑called chaperoning or upregulating of nicotinic receptors is necessary for the early stages of nicotine dependence, ultimately underlying the brain’s addiction to nicotine. When a person stops taking nicotine, the natural acetylcholine cannot sufficiently activate the upregulated receptors. They produce craving and other symptoms of withdrawal.

    INSTRUCTION: Read the following text to answer the question.

    How can neuroscience lead to treatments for nicotine addiction?
    Around a billion people still smoke, so we clearly have more to learn about effective treatments for nicotine addiction. Medications that can help include bupropion, a classical antidepressant, which mostly helps people who are depressed to stop smoking; and varenicline, which imitates nicotine in some ways but prevents nicotinic receptors from being fully activated.
    Some nicotine cessation products, such as gums and patches and inhalers, use nicotine itself in the hope that it can be delivered in small enough quantities and over a long enough period of time that nicotine receptors will only be partially chaperoned, helping to reduce upregulation while the individual works on quitting smoking.
    We still need more and better science to figure out the pharmacokinetics of nicotine: How fast does it enter the body? How long does it stay in the body? To that end, along with a team of collaborators — including Caltech professors Wei Gao (professor of medical engineering), Dennis Dougherty (George Grant Hoag Professor of Chemistry), and Stephen Mayo (Bren Professor of Biology and Chemistry), and Professor Neal Benowitz of UC San Francisco — we have been working to develop a wearable device that resembles the continuous glucose monitor used by Type 1 diabetes patients.
    We will use this monitor to measure nicotine while a person smokes or vapes or uses a nicotine pouch so that we can fully understand how an individual metabolizes nicotine and relate this knowledge to a century’s worth of work on nicotinic receptors and nicotine addiction.

          It is essential to promote social inclusion by providing spaces for people of all socio-economic backgrounds to use and enjoy. Quality public spaces such as libraries and parks can supplement housing as study and recreational spaces for the urban poor.

          There is a need to ensure that there is an equitable distribution of public spaces within cities. Through the provision of quality public spaces in cities can reduce the economic and social segregation that is prevalent in many developed and developing cities. By ensuring the distribution, coverage and quality of public spaces, it is possible to directly influence the dynamics of urban density, to combine uses and to promote the social mixture of cities’ inhabitants.

          Rights and duties of all the public space stakeholders should be clearly defined. Public spaces are public assets as a public space is by definition a place where all citizens are legitimate to be and discrimination should be tackled there. Public space has the capacity to gather people and break down social barriers. Protecting the inclusiveness of public space is a key prerequisite for the right to the city and an important asset to foster tolerance, conviviality and dialogue.

          Public spaces in slums are only used to enable people to move. There is a lack of public space both in quantity and quality, leading to high residential density, high crime rates, lack of public facilities such as toilets or water, difficulties to practice outdoor sports and other recreational activities among others.

                                “One never builds something finished”:

                       the brilliance of architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha

    Oliver Wainwright

    February 4, 2017

       “All space is public,” says Paulo Mendes da Rocha. “The only private space that you can imagine is in the human mind.” It is an optimistic statement from the 88-year-old Brazilian architect, given he is a resident of São Paulo, a city where the triumph of the private realm over the public could not be more stark. The sprawling megalopolis is a place of such marked inequality that its superrich hop between their rooftop helipads because they are too scared of street crime to come down from the clouds.

       But for Mendes da Rocha, who received the 2017 gold medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects this week – an accolade previously bestowed on such luminaries as Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright – the ground is everything. He has spent his 60-year career lifting his massive concrete buildings up, in gravity-defying balancing acts, or else burying them below ground in an attempt to liberate the Earth’s surface as a continuous democratic public realm. “The city has to be for everybody,” he says, “not just for the very few.”
