A group of eight researchers trialled this particular approach to drawing, most of them for the first time. Each researcher drew with young children, peers and tertiary students, with drawings created over a period of six months. The eight researchers came together in a 'community of scholars' approach to this project because of two shared interests: (i) issues of social justice, access and equity; and (ii) arts-based education research methods. The researchers were curious how ICD might methodically support their respective research processes.

The pedagogical approach in this research with very young children focusses on their interests and perspectives. I am wondering about what I/we can do and how I/we might teach (Lenz Taguchi, 2010) with art in early childhood education. Fragments I gathered from and with Child Art (Viola, 1942; Peterken, 2015, unpublished doctoral dissertation) to think about early childhood practice have circled back (Burke, LasczikCutcher, Peterken & Potts, 2017). The images and artworks encountered in my doctoral work have me returning to contemplate the images and quilt made earlier with young children aged one to five years in their day care setting (Peterken, 2009, unpublished honours dissertation) to consider how moments of making are productive.

This immerses me in playful living inquiry exploring the Deleuzian concept of becoming, in transit.

Through images and text we tell the story of how we came together as a virtual and embodied creative community. Using the flower as a provocation to undertake visual arts explorations that extended into drama, dance, music and arts-based performances, the students encountered issues in early childhood arts education through metaphor and metonym. Through the lens of artist/s, researcher/s and teacher/s this discussion reflects on the ways this approach enabled being, becoming and belonging in early childhood creative arts education.

In this iteration of walking and encounter, four arts academics sought to extend and engage the practice of itinerant drift, collaboratively and discretely, mapping manifestations and then responding with an artful riposte in relation to educational practice. Using the provocation of playfulness, the methodology was inspired by the concept of the dérive and stimulated by Dada, Surrealist and Fluxus legacies. This visual essay portrays the assemblage of walking and encounter at the Peninsula campus site at Monash University through visual poetics, which aims to arouse continuing dialogue around place, learning, encounter, chance and disruption.

Current emphasis on high stakes testing and test scores as evidence of learning, even for young children, has educators moving away from the arts as academic learning. This visual essay is an a/r/tographic inquiry with woven threads of theory/practice from this moving fault zone that support the arts as a way of knowing for the early years. Making and writing with woolen fibers and feathers form a mat as a surface that is thinking with encounters from teaching pre-service early childhood educators with art. The weaving is an opening to understanding that falling, fear, and knowing are temporary and can provoke what might be next for pre-service teachers and young children using art as learning.

Through painting, soundscaping, videography, writing, making, montaging and deconstructing we respond to 'what's happening' and to each other's responses in entangled and diffractive ways. We are sensorily present, attuned and make/think with matters and beings in our lived spaces in attempts to make sense of 'what's happening'.Drawing from Haraway's (1992) proposal of diffraction as a metaphoric means for mapping material-semiotic interference patterns, this project will use diffractive analysis to "map where the effects of differences appear" (p. 300). Barad (2007) further proposes diffraction as a critical tool for "reading insights through one another" (p. 25), enabling multiple and diverse perspectives to be elicited through differing meaning-making, including the diffraction of narratives, images, poetics, theories, the political, the spiritual, the sociocultural, and so on. We play with "diffractive storying" (Phillips, 2020) following the entangled effects that diffractive differences make. Blue-ness is vitalistic multiplicity where "non-unitary identities and multiple allegiances" (Braidotti, 2013, p. 144) with-ness each other. We are there for each other, we the subjects, we the co-creators, we the dis-located scholars who patiently braid the threads, who weave (Haraway, 2016, p. 91) the four colourful lines of thought: w h a t - i s - g o i n g - o n ?<br>

Recently, increasing evidence indicates the clinical importance of the association between hypoxia and immune status in tumor patients. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the relationship between hypoxia and prognosis in metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Methods: Transcriptomic and clinical data from 348 MUC patients who underwent ICI treatment from a large phase 2 trial (IMvigor210) were investigated in this study. The cohort was randomly divided into two datasets, a training set (n 213) and a testing set (n 135). Data of hypoxia-related genes were downloaded from the molecular signatures database (MSigDB), and screened by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis to construct a prognosis-predictive model. The robustness of the model was evaluated in two melanoma cohorts. Furthermore, an external validation cohort, the bladder cancer cohort, from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, was t used to explore the mechanism of gene mutation, immune cell infiltration, signaling pathway enrichment, and drug sensitivity. We categorized patients as the high-or low-risk group using a four-gene hypoxia risk model which we constructed. It was found that patients with high-risk scores had significantly worse overall survival (OS) compared with those with low-risk scores. The prognostic model covers 0.71 of the area under the ROC curve in the training set and 0.59 in the testing set, which is better than the survival prediction of MUC patients using the clinical characteristics. Mutation analysis results showed that deletion mutations in RB1, TP53, TSC1 and KDM6A were correlated with hypoxic status. Immune cell infiltration analysis illustrated that the infiltration T cells, B cells, Treg cells, and macrophages was correlated with hypoxia. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that a hypoxic microenvironment activated inflammatory pathways, glucose metabolism pathways, and immune-related pathways. In this investigation, a four-gene hypoxia risk model was developed to evaluate the degree of hypoxia and prognosis of ICI treatment, which showed a promising
