Grassroot responses from the Black community towards the race riots of the 1980s
Authors: Bibi Marva
Published: May 2023

Much of the literature on the topic of race relations and rioting is consumed by state narratives and those of elites as opposed to uncovering the voices of Black people who have endured, lived through and shaped their culture and lives around these concepts. This article builds upon existing work on race relations, providing agency to the Black community to articulate their rightful lived experiences, emotions and perceptions of the riots and issues of race relations during the 1980s. Grassroot experiences of the Black community will be compared to academic outputs relating to race relations and rioting regarding how such responses were captured in official policy, reports and secondary literature. The following research questions were addressed: What was the cause of the race riots in the 1980s? What were the subsequent reactions? What methods of resistance were utilised by the Black community? What was the impact of government officials and policies in response to the race riots? Contrary to popular sentiments, the events of the 1980s were not due to the innate criminality and delinquent culture of Black people, rather, humane reactions towards the poverty and criminalisation afforded to Black people by the state in which they were retaliating and responding in solidarity against. By including the academic works of Stuart Hall and Paul Gilroy this article incorporates emerging narratives which reiterate the aforementioned points. Through incorporating the cultural output of Linton Kwesi Johnson, John Agard and Benjamin Zephaniah a realistic presentation is offered of the experiences of criminalisation and racialisation endured by Black men, their recollections and their views on reforms.

Authors:   Banking Academy of Vietnam, Phạm Mạnh Hùng
Published: May 2023

The term “big data” has been first appeared for nearly two decades and has quickly become a symbol for data analytics by helping to solve the most complex problems of research. One of the important applications of big data is to improve the timeliness and accuracy of economic forecasts. Before the advent of big data, policymakers needed to wait for the periodic release of macroeconomic statistics to forecast GDP and inflation. Today, high frequency economic time series allow researchers to make forecasts more frequently, faster, and, in some cases, significantly more accurately than traditional forecasting methods. This paper will examine the use of big data in economic forecasting by providing an overview of empirical studies on this topic. In addition, the article also provides some discussions on challenges and solutions in using big data related to investment in technical infrastructure for analysis and handling of unstructured data. as well as accessibility and privacy when using big data.

Authors: Franklin Shane
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Desert climates present unique challenges to skin health due to low humidity, high temperatures, and intense sun exposure, potentially compromising the skin barrier. Moisturizers play a crucial role in mitigating these effects. This study investigates the impact of moisturizers on skin barrier function in individuals residing in Dubai (desert climate) and a temperate region.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 100 participants (50 from Dubai, 50 from a temperate region). Skin barrier function was assessed using transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements and stratum corneum hydration levels. Participants' moisturizer usage patterns and perceived skin dryness were recorded.
Results: Dubai residents exhibited significantly higher TEWL values and lower stratum corneum hydration levels compared to those in the temperate region, indicating a compromised skin barrier. Regular moisturizer use was associated with significantly improved skin barrier function in both groups, with a more pronounced effect observed in Dubai residents.
Conclusion: This study highlights the vulnerability of skin barrier function in desert climates. Regular moisturizer use effectively improves skin barrier function, particularly in arid environments. These findings underscore the importance of moisturizers as a cornerstone of skincare in desert climates.

Authors: Sophia Lucille Rodriguez  , Lucia Fernandez
Published: May 2023

Introduction: (ARF) and its sequela, (RHD), remain significant public health concerns in developing countries. Secondary prophylaxis with Benzathine Penicillin G (BPG) is the cornerstone of preventing recurrent ARF and progression of RHD. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of BPG in preventing recurrent ARF and RHD in Brazilian children.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Brazil. Children aged 5-15 years with a history of ARF and/or RHD were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either BPG injections every 28 days or standard care (no BPG) for two years. The primary outcome was the incidence of recurrent ARF episodes. Secondary outcomes included the development of new or worsening RHD, echocardiographic parameters, and adverse events related to BPG.
Results: A total of 200 children were enrolled (BPG group = 100, standard care group = 100). The median follow-up duration was 24 months. The incidence of recurrent ARF was significantly lower in the BPG group compared to the standard care group (4% vs. 18%, p < 0.001). The BPG group also demonstrated a reduced risk of developing new or worsening RHD (8% vs. 22%, p = 0.003). Echocardiographic parameters showed improvement in the BPG group, with a significant decrease in left atrial diameter and mitral regurgitation severity. Adverse events related to BPG were mild and infrequent.
Conclusion: Secondary prophylaxis with BPG is highly effective in preventing recurrent ARF and RHD in Brazilian children. It should be considered a standard of care for all children with a history of ARF and/or RHD in endemic regions.

An improvement of geoelectrical resistivity interpretation has been done through this research. Up to now, the geoelectrical resistivity data was interpreted qualitatively especially in the case of the aquifer intruded by seawater, and the percentage of seawater mixture content in the aquifer cannot be predicted. In this research, a valuable approach was used in the prediction of percentage seawater mixture in the shallow aquifer that is intruded by seawater. The study was conducted in the coastal area which is mainly covered by peat soil. The research employed the direct soil resistivity measurement and the ground surface resistivity survey. Geoelectrical resistivity with the Wenner configuration was used for both measurements. The soil character and the fluid content in the soil were measured to obtain their correlation to the direct soil resistivity value. The results show that resistivity value is about 2-5 ohm.m for 50% seawater content mixture in aquifer and it increase to be 5-10 ohm.m for 25% seawater mix to freshwater in the aquifer. The increasing seawater content in the pore soil caused the decreases in resistivity value drastically. The percentage of seawater mixture in the fluid pore soil has been successfully predicted through the geoelectrical resistivity measurement on the surface.

In the last few decades, rock mass classification had been used intensively in engineering design. The concern arises for the potential occurrence of localized or global rock mass failure due to geological (such as discontinuities, water, weathering) and non-geological (such as construction load, vibration) factors should be taken into consideration. The ability of a classification system to represent the rock mass condition in a straightforward and effective way can assist in engineering works. Two classification systems can be applied in underground construction such as tunneling and mining. In tunnel construction, the Rock Mass Rating (RMR), Q System, Japanese Highway (JH) Method, Geological Strength Index (GSI) and Rock Mass Quality Rating (RMQR) are commonly used. However, these systems cannot be applied for rock mass covered by shotcrete due to difficulty in observing the discontinuity planes. Therefore, a new investigation method and rock mass classification for rock mass covered by shotcrete is vital to overcome this limitation.

Although previous research has significantly enhanced our understanding of problematic and unsaturated soil behaviour and interaction with structures, there is still an urgent need to address the difficult scenarios that are met with problematic and unsaturated soils. This study examines the effects of tree water uptake at different depths and distances on the improvement of induced water uptakes caused by transpiration via mature Alstonia Angustiloba tree. This study is performed to examine the tree water uptake profile in a vegetated slope with the existence of mature Alstonia Angustiloba tree at the top and the stability of the slope during various precipitation penetration events by which the data of the tree water uptake produced within this section of the slope is recorded and implemented to evaluate the factor of safety (FOS). Slope stability analysis is further conducted to explore how plant transpiration affects slope stability. The results indicate that higher tree water uptake lead to the greatest increase of FOS of the slope up to 53% (from 2.17 to 4.57). The highest tree water uptake recorded was at the slope station with Alstonia Angustiloba tree with a depth of 0.25 m and a distance of 1.1 m from the tree. The tree water uptake utilized in this study can contribute to a carbon-free and eco-friendly approach which can be implemented globally to prevent slope failures.

The Upper Tukau Formation is exposed along the Sungai Rait Road and can be described as follows: the lowermost member is formed by soft clay and silt, the “Brick Shale”, and contains meandering sandy channels. The clay is thoroughly excavated in the area and used as raw material for bricks. The second and hilltop-forming layer is built by relatively hard amalgamated, and partly channelized sandstone layers, often lined with diagenetically precipitated iron minerals (i.e., pyrite and siderite concretions). The youngest member is characterized by intertidal channels and mud flats. Geochemical studies point to a polymictic source of already recycled sediments, deposited in predominantly oxic, partly suboxic environments, with rapid transitions observed from one milieu to the other. In broad terms, the entire sequence appears to be a shallowing-upwards cycle, leading from subtidal to intertidal realms. The surprising sharp boundaries between clay and sand packages are discussed and may be related to climate cycles.
Figures de la subversion et de la transgression dans la fiction à substrat traductif
Authors: Plassard Freddie
Published: May 2023

Les romans Vengeance du traducteur et Les Nègres du traducteur, de Brice Matthieussent et de Claude Bleton respectivement, se jouent des hiérarchies traditionnelles entre auteur et traducteur, original et traduction, illustrant chacun par leur intrigue et leur trame un visage parfois méconnu de la traduction, celui de la traduction déviante, subversive et transgressive, néanmoins propice à un questionnement sur son statut générique et son rapport à l’écriture princeps.
Subversive Sixties in Ink: Underground Comix, Censorship, and Translation between the United States and Italy
Authors: Polli Chiara
Published: May 2023

This study focuses on underground comix in the US and their reception in Italy, where different translations have been circulating since the late 1960s. Underground comix were the controversial product of the 1960s-1970s’ counterculture, that is, of a period of struggle and cultural renewal in US history. As taboo contents such as sex, drugs, and political dissent became the core of this needle-sharp graphic satire, underground cartoonists had to deal with media lynching, exclusion from distribution circuits, fines, and seizures of materials. The present contribution reconstructs the twisted relationships between underground comix and the different forms of censorship they faced in their homeland as well as in Italy, where they were translated by both militant and mainstream publishers in different time periods. This study focuses on Robert Crumb, the most famous underground cartoonist, and discusses a corpus of comics dealing with the theme of sexuality used to shock and subvert US morality. The compared analysis of multiple translations of the same stories, published between the 1970s and 2018, shows how the Italian reception of Crumb’s most provocative comics was impacted by a pre-selection of contents, practices of deliberate censorship of the original materials and, in particular, by the trivialisation of potentially subversive contents under the influence of the commedia sexy all’italiana film genre. It is maintained that, in the Italian context, Crumb’s sexually explicit works are not deemed controversial provided they are deprived of social criticism and re-interpreted within a comedic frame through translation. The latter argument paves the way for a reflection on how subversive materials can be “narcotized” (Eco, 2003, p. 139) by means of banalization, whose outcomes are similar to those that result from overt censorship.
« Nous ne parlerons pas de la guerre » : la participation oubliée de l’Université de Montréal à la Seconde Guerre mondiale
Authors: Walling Jeremy John
Published: May 2023

La participation de l’Université de Montréal à la Seconde Guerre mondiale constitue un sujet d’étude complexe et parfois contradictoire. Initialement opposée à la mobilisation de l’université pour le conflit, la population étudiante développe progressivement une certaine appréciation pour la guerre et accepte de participer à celle-ci. Malgré une opposition constante à la conscription, les étudiants tolèrent l’imposition d’un programme d’entrainement militaire obligatoire et choisissent volontairement d’investir des milliers de dollars au sein de l’effort de guerre canadien. Combinés au support financier et scientifique offert par les employés et dirigeants de l’établissement, ces efforts s’inscrivent au sein d’une contribution conséquente de l’Université de Montréal à la lutte armée contre les forces de l’Axe.
Dynamics of pulsatile activities of arcuate kisspeptin neurons in aging female mice

Published: May 2023

Reproductive senescence is broadly observed across mammalian females, including humans, eventually leading to a loss of fertility. The pulsatile secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is essential for gonad function, is primarily controlled by kisspeptin neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARCkiss), the pulse generator of GnRH. The pulsatility of GnRH release, as assessed by the amount of circulating gonadotropin, is markedly reduced in aged animals, suggesting that the malfunctions of ARCkiss may be responsible for reproductive aging and menopause-related disorders. However, the activity dynamics of ARCkiss during the natural transition to reproductive senescence remain unclear. Herein, we introduce chronic in vivo Ca2+ imaging of ARCkiss in female mice by fiber photometry to monitor the synchronous episodes of ARCkiss (SEskiss), a known hallmark of GnRH pulse generator activity, from the fully reproductive to acyclic phase over 1 year. During the reproductive phase, we find that not only the frequency, but also the intensities and waveforms of individual SEskiss, vary depending on the stage of the estrus cycle. During the transition to reproductive senescence, the integrity of SEskiss patterns, including the frequency and waveforms, remains mostly unchanged, whereas the intensities tend to decline. These data illuminate the temporal dynamics of ARCkiss activities in aging female mice. More generally, our findings demonstrate the utility of fiber-photometry-based chronic imaging of neuroendocrine regulators in the brain to characterize aging-associated malfunction.

The cerebral cortex underlies many of our unique strengths and vulnerabilities - but efforts to understand human cortical organization are challenged by reliance on incompatible measurement methods at different spatial scales. Macroscale features such as cortical folding and functional activation are accessed through spatially dense neuroimaging maps, whereas microscale cellular and molecular features are typically measured with sparse postmortem sampling. Here, we integrate these distinct windows on brain organization by building upon existing postmortem data to impute, validate and analyze a library of spatially dense neuroimaging-like maps of human cortical gene expression. These maps allow spatially unbiased discovery of cortical zones with extreme transcriptional profiles or unusually rapid transcriptional change which index distinct microstructure and predict neuroimaging measures of cortical folding and functional activation. Modules of spatially coexpressed genes define a family of canonical expression maps that integrate diverse spatial scales and temporal epochs of human brain organization - ranging from protein-protein interactions to large-scale systems for cognitive processing. These module maps also parse neuropsychiatric risk genes into subsets which tag distinct cyto-laminar features and differentially predict the location of altered cortical anatomy and gene expression in patients. Taken together, the methods, resources and findings described here advance our understanding of human cortical organization and offer flexible bridges to connect scientific fields operating at different spatial scales of human brain research.
Microbial diversity patterns in the root zone of two Meconopsis plants on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Published: May 2023

In the extreme alpine climate of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), plant growth and reproduction are limited by extremely cold temperatures, low soil moisture, and scarce nutrient availability. The root-associated microbiome indirectly promotes plant growth and plays a role in the fitness of plants on the QTP, particularly in Tibetan medicinal plants. Despite the importance of the root-associated microbiome, little is known about the root zone. This study used high-throughput sequencing to investigate two medicinal Meconopsis plants, M. horridula and M. integrifolia, to determine whether habitat or plant identity had a more significant impact on the microbial composition of the roots. The fungal sequences were obtained using ITS-1 and ITS-2, and bacterial sequences were obtained using 16S rRNA. Different microbial patterns were observed in the microbial compositions of fungi and bacteria in the root zones of two Meconopsis plants. In contrast to bacteria, which were not significantly impacted by plant identity or habitat, the fungi in the root zone were significantly impacted by plant identity, but not habitat. In addition, the synergistic effect was more significant than the antagonistic effect in the correlation between fungi and bacteria in the root zone soil. The fungal structure was influenced by total nitrogen and pH, whereas the structure of bacterial communities was influenced by soil moisture and organic matter. Plant identity had a greater influence on fungal structure than habitat in two Meconopsis plants. The dissimilarity of fungal communities suggests that more attention should be paid to fungi-plant interactions.
