Abstract: Provided is a substance capable of effectively suppressing cancer metastasis or a pharmaceutical composition that effectively acts on an inflammatory disease. The pharmaceutical composition is a pharmaceutical composition containing, as an active ingredient, an antibody or an antibody fragment thereof having antigen-binding activity for an S100A8/A9 heterodimer, and blocks interaction between S100A8/A9 and a group of receptors therefor, to thereby strongly suppress cancer metastasis both in vitro and in vivo, or alleviate inflammation. That is, the anti-S100A8/A9 antibody or the antibody fragment thereof can strongly suppress cancer metastasis or alleviate inflammation, by virtue of its blocking action on the interaction between S100A8/A9 and the group of receptors therefor.

Abstract: The present invention has an object of providing a user interface execution apparatus and a user interface designing apparatus which can estimate the maximum size of a storage area for storing data to be prefetched when a user interface is designed and can present updated data to the user even when the prefetched data is updated after the prefetch. A user interface execution apparatus in the present invention includes a processor to execute a program; and a memory to store the program which, when executed by the processor, performs processes of: transitioning a state of the user interface execution apparatus; issuing a prefetch request for data; storing the data; generating the code from an interface definition and a state transition definition; and selecting, before transitioning the state, data to be prefetched based on a difference between a data obtaining interface to be used in a state before the transitioning and a data obtaining interface to be used in a state after the transitioning.

Abstract: This relates to a technology capable of efficiently deciding a screen layer to which a user input event should be delivered even when screen layers that do not receive the user input event are displayed in an overlapping manner other than a screen layer that should receive the user input event. A user interface device includes an acquisition unit, a transmission unit, a determination unit, and a decision unit. On the basis of inquiry information from the transmission unit, the determination unit concurrently determines, for a plurality of screen layers, whether input information is accepted in each of the screen layers. The decision unit decides the screen layer based on a determination result.

Abstract: A program execution system includes a program execution unit that executes a plurality of programs including a plurality of resident programs, and a resident program launch controller that controls a sequence in which a plurality of the resident programs is launched. The program execution unit sequentially launches the plurality of resident programs, at system startup, according to a launch sequence definition that is information specifying a sequence in which the plurality of the resident programs is to be launched. If the amount of resources being used exceeds a certain value due to the launch of the plurality of resident programs, the resident program launch controller modifies the launch sequence definition at the current system startup and uses the modified launch sequence definition at the next system startup.

Abstract: A computer system comprises, a profile for each software module, a software module monitor which detects a failure as failure occurrence information at an early stage at a time of execution of an application based on execution related information recorded in the profile, and notifies a software module manager of the failure, and the software module manager which identifies a failed software module from the failure occurrence information, determines how to handle the software module on the basis of the execution related information and the failure occurrence information, and directs the execution.
