Toxicant exposure and the developing brain: A systematic review of the structural and functional MRI literature
Authors: Fowler Carina Hilary , Bagdasarov Armen , Camacho Nicolas Leonardo , Reuben Aaron , Gaffrey Michael
Published: April 2022

Youth worldwide are regularly exposed to pollutants and chemicals (i.e., toxicants) that may interfere with healthy brain development, and a surge in MRI research has begun to characterize the neurobiological consequences of these exposures. Here, a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted on developmental MRI studies of toxicants with known or suspected neurobiological impact. Associations were reviewed for 9 toxicant classes, including metals, air pollution, and flame retardants. Of 1,264 identified studies, 46 met inclusion criteria. Qualitative synthesis revealed that most studies: (1) investigated air pollutants or metals, (2) assessed exposures prenatally, (3) assessed the brain in late middle childhood, (4) took place in North America or Western Europe, (5) drew samples from existing cohort studies, and (6) have been published since 2017. Given substantial heterogeneity in MRI measures, toxicant measures, and age groups assessed, more research is needed on all toxicants reviewed here. Future studies should also include larger samples, employ personal exposure monitoring, study independent samples in diverse world regions, and assess toxicant mixtures.

Specific Processes of Intelligence and Relationships in Academic Learning (SPIRAL Theory)
Authors: Blankson A. Nayena
Published: April 2022

We live in an age of cancel culture. Things are cancelled sometimes for important reasons and sometimes for superficial reasons. Over 100 years since its inception, the concept of IQ still lingers. Here, I make the argument that g (IQ) should be cancelled. I conclude with the proposition of a new theory, Specific Processes of Intelligence and Relationships in Academic Learning (SPIRAL), which can be used to guide future research on cognition and achievement.

Published: April 2022

Life-long engagement in cognitively demanding activities may mitigate against declines in cognitive ability observed in healthy or pathological aging. However, the “mental costs” associated with completing cognitive tasks also increases with age and may be partly attributed to increases in preclinical levels of Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology. We test whether cognitive costs increase in a domain-general fashion in older adults, and further, whether such age-related increases in cognitive effort cost are associated with amyloid burden, a signature pathology of AD. In two experiments, we administered an objective measure of cognitive effort (Cognitive Effort Discounting: COG-ED) to a sample of older adults recruited from online sources (Experiment 1) or from ongoing longitudinal studies of aging and dementia (Experiment 2). Experiment 1 compared age-related differences in cognitive effort across two distinct domains, working memory and speech comprehension. Experiment 2 compared cognitive costs between a group of participants who were rated positive for amyloid burden relative to those who had no evidence of amyloid. Results showed age-related increases in cognitive effort cost were evident in both domains. Cost estimates were highly correlated between the working memory and speech comprehension tasks and were present even when controlling for overall working memory capacity. In addition, older adults who were amyloid positive had higher cognitive cost estimates than those who were amyloid negative. Cognitive effort costs may index a domain-general trait that consistently increases in healthy aging. Differences in amyloid burden suggest a potential neurobiological mechanism for age-related increases in cost.
Number feature distortion modulates cue-based retrieval in reading
Authors: Yadav Himanshu , Smith Garrett , Reich Sebastian , Vasishth Shravan
Published: April 2022

In sentence comprehension, what are the cognitive constraints that determine number agreement computation? Two broad classes of theoretical proposals are: (i) Representation distortion accounts, which assume that the number feature on the subject noun gets overwritten probabilistically by the number feature on a non-subject noun, leading to a non-veridical memory trace of the subject noun; and (ii) The cue-based retrieval account, which assumes that the features on the subject noun remain intact, and processing difficulty is only a function of the memory constraints on dependency completion. However, both these classes of models fail to account for the full spectrum of number agreement patterns observed in published studies. Using 17 benchmark data sets on number agreement from four languages, we implement seven computational models: three variants of representation distortion, two cue-based retrieval models, and two hybrid models that assume both representation distortion and retrieval. Quantitative model comparison decisively shows that the best fit is achieved by a hybrid model that assumes both feature distortion (specifically, feature percolation) and cue-based retrieval. More broadly, the work furnishes comprehensive evidence to support the idea that cue-based retrieval theory, which aims to be a general account of dependency completion, needs to incorporate a feature distortion process.
From information to action: A commentary on Kidd and Garcia (2022)
Authors: Singh Leher
Published: April 2022

Kidd and Garcia (2022) provide a critical analysis of linguistic representation in child language acquisition. Their findings expose a rich irony: a field of study for which diversity of experience is a basic assumption has remained non-diverse in its empirical and theoretical pursuits. In this commentary, I discuss deep-rooted structural factors that have contributed to Western dominance in child language acquisition research. Future progress relies on our ability to enhance the visibility of under-represented participants, researchers, and evaluators.
Questioning the Universality of Mindfulness-Based Programs: Reflections from a Self-Construal Perspective
Authors: Tse Barry
Published: April 2022

This short opinion piece raises an important point about the universality of mindfulness-based programs. The currently established mindfulness programs delivered worldwide are modeled mainly on the original Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program structure. Taken out from its original Buddhist context and developed in the West originally for Western practitioners, mindfulness techniques and definitions are now re-exporting back to Asia, gaining popularity in Asia. Studies in self-construal have pointed out the cultural differences between the West and the East. Hence the suitability of Western-developed programs would need to be re-examined. And there could be significant implications for the design and adaptation of mindfulness-based programs delivered across cultures.
Bring a map when exploring the ERP data processing multiverse: A commentary on Clayson et al. 2021
Authors: Feuerriegel Daniel , Bode Stefan
Published: April 2022

Clayson et al. (2021) describe an innovative multiverse analysis to evaluate effects of data processing choices on event-related potential (ERP) measures. Based on their results, they provide data processing recommendations for studies measuring the error-related negativity and error positivity components. We argue that, although their data-driven approach is useful for identifying how data processing choices influence ERP results, it is not sufficient for devising optimal data processing pipelines. As an example, we focus on the inappropriate use of pre-response ERP baselines in their analyses, which leads to biased error positivity amplitude measures. Results of multiverse analyses should be supplemented with further investigation into why differences in ERP results occur across data processing choices before devising general recommendations.
Electing Presidents: A Hidden Facet of Democratization
Authors: Cheibub Jose Antonio , Limongi Fernando , Przeworski Adam
Published: April 2022

A hidden facet of democratization in the world over the past two centuries has been the increased weight of people’s voice in electing presidents. On the basis of new data on all presidential elections in the world since 1789, we show that they evolved from systems in which the final decision was made by someone other than voters, to systems in which the choice of voters was decisive only if it generated a majority, to systems in which the final decision is made by voters. This means that in countries where presidents have executive powers elections may not be the mechanism by which the people, as a collectivity, always selects its rulers, thus violating the fundamental norm of democracy. We document the history of presidential election rules, offer some tentative explanations, and explore the consequencesof particular systems.
Towards a critical theory of ‘medically unexplained symptoms’: Neoliberal narratives and the need for structurally competent healthcare
Authors: Hunt Joanne Elizabeth
Published: April 2022

‘Medically unexplained symptoms’ are positioned in mainstream healthcare discourse as an individualistic psychosocial phenomenon; this positioning occurs through application of a particular variant of the biopsychosocial model that downplays biological influences whilst ignoring critically informed social and structural influences in illness. A critical counter-narrative to mainstream healthcare narratives, one that assumes that power has a central role in constructing health-related discourse and contributing to health outcomes, is that medically unexplained symptoms serve a number of purposes for mainstream institutions, associated actors and society more broadly. These purposes include reinforcement of and justification for neoliberal socio-economic policies (notably, welfare reform), management of medical and broader societal uncertainty and seeking of moral legitimacy in the face of socio-structural injustices. This article examines socio-structural factors engendering and reinforcing current constructions of MUS that mainstream literature has hitherto ignored, discussing implications for research, clinician education and practice. A structurally competent approach to healthcare, one that acknowledges and addresses socio-structural influences in health and illness, would generate a more contextualised, holistic understanding of MUS, allowing for more equitable and truly patient-centred care whilst offering an exculpatory framework for clinical encounters.
The Unpolitics of Climate Change.
Authors: Blaber Richard Michael
Published: April 2022

There have been 27 international climate change conferences since 1992 (the “Earth Summit” in Rio de Janeiro that year and the 26 subsequent Conferences of the Parties [COPs], the most recent in Glasgow, Scotland in 2021), and three international treaties on the issue – the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, 1992), the Kyoto Protocol (1997), and the Paris Agreement (2015). Yet, during that time, atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased from ~350 ppm to ~420 ppm, i.e., by 20%, or 0.66% p.a., and is still increasing. The purpose of this paper is to find out why.

Authors: Ferro Rafael Cunha
Published: April 2022

This exploratory-descriptive dissertation has documental nature and it characterizes as a State of the Art study of documents originating from strictu senso graduate programs of any area of knowledge in a national scope, that have direct relation with the Gastronomy. The main objective was to investigate the formation of the field of knowledge of Gastronomy in Brazil from the systematization of its academic production at the postgraduate level. The sample of this research counted on 223 theses (13%) and dissertations (87%) dated of 1999 and 2016 treated through the Analysis of Content. With the extraction of the type of document (dissertation or thesis), origin / institution / college, name of the program and year of defense, it was possible to classify the documents in 27 areas of knowledge, with a concentration in Tourism and Interdisciplinary areas, and 7 large areas of knowledge from CAPES, with greater concentration in Applied Social Sciences. The titles, abstracts, objectives and keywords were used to categorize the documents into 12 aspects (economical, technological, political and environmental; sociocultural, historical, philosophical, educational, linguistic and communicational; psychological and nutritional) grouped into three approaches: commercial, non-commercial and health. On average, three out of five documents that composed the sample of this research deal with topics with non-commercial aspects of Gastronomy. With this systematization a model of thematic approaches of the field of Gastronomy was elaborated that was tested with the researches related to the field of Hospitality contained in the sample identifying and characterizing the interfaces between the two fields in a transversal way. It was observed the adherence of this model reinforcing the multi and interdisciplinary nature of research in the field of Gastronomy and its relations with the field of Hospitality. Hospitality was found in 25 researches in the field of Gastronomy covering its main theoretical dimensions, with focus on gift/reciprocity and commensality, even in researches of commercial approaches.
PESQUISA EM GASTRONOMIA NO CAMPO CIENTÍFICO DO TURISMO E HOSPITALIDADE NO BRASIL: CONFIGURAÇÃO, FORÇAS DE PRESSÃO E TENDÊNCIAS TEÓRICAS
Authors: Ferro Rafael Cunha
Published: April 2022

In Brazil, education and research in Gastronomy took place with greater expressiveness at the turn of the 20th century to the 21st century. Since then, it is possible to observe in this field some efforts of multiple agents, especially researchers, aiming at their scientific maturity with the unquestionable help of other fields in whose interfaces lead to dialogue and competition. From this scenario, this thesis aimed to examine the social and intellectual structure of this scientific field to identify the thematic trends and pressure forces conditioning its maturity in its interface with the field of Tourism and Hospitality in Brazil. Therefore, the research is outlined in two stages. The first stage focused on bibliometric and scientometric analysis of 147 papers extracted from the Spell database and official websites of journals with Qualis B5 or higher rating. The metadata of these papers was normalized and manually inserted into an appropriate file for reading by the Bibliometrix software and later processed in descriptive statistics format, co-authorship networks, co-citation and co-occurrence of keywords. From the results of the first stage, it was possible to identify institutions, researchers, research themes and references. In the second stage, five leading researchers in Gastronomy research in the context of Tourism and Hospitality were invited to conduct semi-structured interviews with the aid of a script organized from the results of the first stage and the theoretical framework. The interviews were transcribed and examined based on content analysis. Seven categories of analysis were identified, five of which were suggested a priori and two a posteriori, comprising thirty themes. The interviewees' verbalizations contributed to unveil positions and trends in the field that were not possible to be observed only based on bibliometric and scientometric results. Then, the results of the two steps were concatenated to delineate pressure forces and trends. It was identified the existence of two antagonistic pressure forces acting that promote (heretical forces) or inhibit (domination forces) the autonomy of the scientific field of Gastronomy when related to the field of Tourism and Hospitality. Trends pointed out paths for a more critical scientific practice in this interface, where the manifestations of Hospitality in its various dimensions offer lenses to understand, in a reflexive and relational way, the complexity of the phenomena of Gastronomy. In the conclusions, recommendations are presented with the intention of guiding the maturation of the scientific field of Gastronomy.

There is always need for the earliest diagnosis of enteric fever to start the appropriate treatment for this life threatening illness. The diagnosis becomes difficult because of inherent limitation due to the long standing vague complaints. Some findings like acalculus cholecystitis, hepato-splenomegaly, enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) and free fluid can easily be picked up by ultrasonography (USG). USG is easily available, without any ionizing radiation, non-invasive and economical. Hemoculture and Widal tests are time consuming and the cost is quite high. The study was conducted with 100 paediatric patients aged 1-year to 15-year. All were having enteric fever based on typhi dot-IgM presented to the paediatric department of the hospital. USG was conducted for the evaluation of the various relevant findings. Blood samples for CBC, LFT and blood culture were taken on the same day as that of USG evaluation. USG evaluation of confirmed enteric fever cases revealed that 25% had gall bladder findings, 23% had hepato-splenomegaly, 11% had hepatomegaly, 1% had enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) and 3% had thickened caecum wall and ileocaecal junction. USG can diagnose many findings which are related to enteric fever and are helpful in starting the early management. Hemoculture and other investigations may delay the treatment which can lead to various complications.
Leadership Practice of a School Administrator: A Narrative Inquiry
Authors: Dahal Hikmat
Published: April 2022

This paper presents a narrative inquiry into a school administrator of a high school in Kathmandu. The objectives of the study were to explore how an administrator makes meanings of his leadership practice and why he enacts leadership the way he does. Using narrative inquiry as a research method and intersecting the narrative analysis by drawing on Bush’s (2010) three dimensions of leadership, the researcher evaluated Rupak’s role as an administrator, made meaning of his perceptions and contested his assumed responsibilities with the responsibilities he has been assuming. Among the three leadership dimensions – influence, values and vision, it was perceived from the participant’s personal practical experience that all three dimensions did not emerge in a linear sequence. Values and vision may be the driving force of the participant’s leadership practice whereas influence may or may not be intentional. By bringing forth the participant’s first-hand accounts it is hoped that the findings will facilitate to generate a new understanding of educational leadership, management and administration, gain an insight into the reconceptualization of leadership and may have useful implications for those who are taking up a new role of an organization, be it fledging or well-established, to excel themselves.

Authors: Pandit Ekaraj
Published: April 2022

This study is related to the use of the tool of self-efficacy beliefs in teaching mathematics through using history of mathematics, based on Self-efficacy Theory of Bandura (1977). The instrument is adapted from Enoch, Smith and Huinker’s (2000) instrument which contains 21 statements grouped into two dimensions of self-efficacy beliefs: personal mathematics teaching efficacy (PMTE) and mathematics teaching outcome expectancy (MTOE). Exploratory factor analysis was employed to maintain construct validity; and reliability was maintained by Cronbach alpha (α = .829, N = 305) to assess internal consistency of the items. Pre-service mathematics teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs can be increased through the use of this tool.

Soft-Core Sovereignty: Absorbing Canada’s Doukhobors inThe Naked Flame(1964)
Authors: Rashotte Ryan
Published: April 2022

La tradition d’utilisation du corps nu comme instrument de résistance politique a débuté il y a plus d’un siècle dans les Prairies canadiennes, lorsque les partisans d’une secte religieuse d’immigrants russes, connue sous le nom de Doukhobor Sons of Freedom, ont commencé à manifester nus pour contester les politiques assimilationnistes du gouvernement. Cette tactique permit d’attirer régulièrement l’attention de la culture médiatique canadienne de l’après-guerre et inspira l’un des premiers films de sexploitation du pays, The Naked Flame (Larry Matanski, 1964), largement oublié. Le présent article situe la production et la réception de ce film dans le cadre du discours contemporain des universitaires, des parlementaires et des médias sur le « problème doukhobor ». En outre, il examine la façon dont le film utilise la nudité et d’autres tropes du cinéma de sexploitation pour mettre en relief le statut précaire et dangereux de la souveraineté des Svobodniki au Canada et pour justifier, en termes cinématographiques, les politiques coercitives du gouvernement afin d’assimiler les citoyens blancs « problématiques » dans les années 1960.
“A True Landmark to Warn”: Seduction-Betrayal and the Recognition of History in Delarivier Manley’s The New Atalantis
Authors: Chronister Kay
Published: April 2022

Organized as a diffuse collection of vignettes, Delariver Manley’s The New Atalantis (1709) has proven challenging to approach as a discrete work. In this essay, I engage Atalantis as a romance and argue that the text is struct urally unified by patterns of repetition, in particular the repeti tion of a narrative that I term “the seduction-betrayal fantasy.” The topos of political seduction-betrayal was widespread in early eighteenth-century Tory historiography as a means of acknowledging the failures of the Stuart monarchy while displacing blame away from monarchs onto others in their orbits. Yet it was frequently difficult for historians to “prove” that political seduction-betrayal had occurred. I argue that Manley addresses this challenge in Atalantis by pairing vignettes concerning political treachery with structurally analogous vignettes about well-known sexual seduction-betrayals. These sets of dyads invite readers to interpret controversial episodes from political history through paradigms generated by strategically selected stories of sexual wrongdoing. However, they also enable Manley to inject moments of ambivalence into her Tory secret history.
Little Puggies: Consuming Cuteness and Deforming Motherhood in Susan Ferrier’s Marriage
Authors: Howard-Smith Stephanie
Published: April 2022

Frequently represented as substitutes for children by eighteenth-century satirists and moralists, lapdogs stood accused of distracting their mistresses from maternal obligations. These women supposedly projected the feelings and desires of children onto their canine companions. In Susan Ferrier’s Marriage (1818), the target of this animal-commodity fetishism is the pug dog. Why was this particular lapdog so well-suited to the attentions of consumers and critics, and what might “ugly” animals beloved by people tell us about human tastes? Reading contemporary aesthetic theory alongside eighteenth-century literary and material culture reveals that the quality identified today as “cuteness” was considered a factor in women’s affection for certain pets. Just as aesthetic theorists find freakishness to be concomitant to cuteness, so too did critics of these dogs discuss the pug’s “deformity.” Current debates about the moral worth of cuteness likewise have eighteenth-century analogues. In Marriage, Juliana Douglas’s interactions with her companion animals and their ceramic simulacra reveal the threat posed by the cute and its ability to collapse distinctions between objects, animals, and people.

Spontaneous uterine rupture in an unscarred uterus in early trimester is very rare and difficult to diagnose. We reported a case of 28 years old lady at 15th week of gestation with three previous uneventful obstetrical history presented with one-day history of acute right iliac fossa pain and vomiting. She was subjected for an open appendectomy after an assessment by obstetric and surgical team which revealed ruptured of uterine fundal. She recovered well but she lost her pregnancy. Traditional management of acute appendicitis in pregnant patients is an early exploration. However recent studies showed that it was unpractical as the rate of pregnancies loss was two times with negative appendectomy compared to simple appendicitis; and almost as high as complicated appendicitis. All suspected appendicitis cases required ultrasound studies, and when the diagnosis is uncertain, further imaging such as computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging is needed prior to surgery.

The decrease of agricultural land becomes one of the problems in farming. Hydroponic system is one of the alternatives that can be the solution of the problem. The hydroponic system is divided into two methods, i.e. the active hydroponic system and the passive hydroponic system. This study described the income analysis of the active and passive hydroponic systems and investigated which system was more profitable. This research was conducted in two companies that have similar business scale, namely the BA corp., for passive hydroponic system and the Nb Farm for active hydroponic system, in which they were located in the Lembang, West Bandung. In the calculation of BC ratio, active hydroponic system is declared feasible, indicating that the hydroponic farming carried out by Nb Farm is profitable and feasible to be conducted. The results of this study indicate that the active hydroponic system has a greater advantage than the passive hydroponic system in pakchoy farming.

The hydroponic system of lettuce cultivation has become popular in the new normal era after the Covid 19 pandemic. So that the efficiency of input and the ease of supplying nutrients in hydroponic farming deserves to be a concern. Hydroponics commonly uses synthetic fertilizers that are completely available and sold commercially. Efforts are needed to make media choices by utilizing easier and cheaper resources, among others by making various alternative nutrient source compositions from widely available, cheap, and commonly used synthetic fertilizers such as NPK and Gandasil. Another option that also needs to be tested for the efficiency of its utilization is the use of liquid organic fertilizers from chicken feather waste. Calculation of the growth rate of lettuce grown on various nutrient compositions of liquid organic and synthetic fertilizers was carried out. The types of fertilizer composition tested were P1= AB-mix (control) 50 ml in 10 liters of water, P2= NPK 10 g + Gandasil 5 g in 10 liters of water, P3= AB-mix 25 ml + 5 g NPK + 2.5 g Gandasil in 10 liters of water, P4= AB-mix 25 ml + 400 ml chicken feather LOF in 10 liters of water, and P5= 5 g NPK + 2.5 g Gandasil + 400 ml chicken feather LOF in 10 liters of water. The results showed that the highest growth rate of lettuce was obtained in the P4 composition, with the best results for Net assimilation rate (NAR), total wet biomass production per plant, ratio of wet weight of shoot: wet weight roots, relative plant height growth rate, relative leaf number growth rate, and relative plant growth rate.

During the fabrication of crystalline silicon solar cells, kerf-loss caused by the wire-sawing of silicon ingots to produce thin wafers inevitably limits the reduction of electricity production cost. To avoid the kerf-loss, direct growth of crystalline silicon wafers of 50-150 μm with a porous separation layer that can be mechanically broken during the exfoliation process, has been widely investigated. However, several issues including flattening of the surface after the exfoliation remain unsolved. In this work an alternative method that utilizes a water-soluble Sr3Al2O6 (SAO) sacrificial layer inserted between the mother substrate and the grown crystalline silicon layers is introduced. Polycrystalline silicon layers were grown on SAO/Si by plasma-enhanced CVD process and silicon membranes could be successfully obtained after the dissolution of SAO in the water. Same process could be applied to obtain flexible amorphous silicon membranes. Further research is being conducted to increase the size of the exfoliated wafer, which expects to reduce the production cost of crystalline silicon solar cells effectively.

Development of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries with high energy storage capability are required in timely manner. Recently, it has been experimentally and computationally proven that oxides with the disordered rock salt structure can be charged and discharged in the Li-ion battery system. In particular, the high entropy disordered rock salt cathode has unique structure property, where both Li-ion and transition metal are randomly located on the cation sites. Such disordering in metal sites can migrate the Li-ion in a percolating way albeit with sluggish kinetics. Therefore, the high entropy disordered rock salt structure has attracted great attention due to its high energy density and stable structure. In this paper, we introduce a simple and effective strategy in the selection of transition metals for high entropy cathodes to achieve desired electrochemical properties.

Study Design: Case-control study.Purpose: Analyze association between imaging factors related to the failure of conservative treatment in isolated subaxial cervical facet fractures.Overview of Literature: Facet fracture (F1, F2, and F3 AOSpine) may be stable or unstable depending on clinical and imaging variables, which are not well established. As a result, differences in fracture management lead to differences in surgical or conservative indications, and there is no evidence to predict conservative treatment failure.Methods: Patients were categorized into two groups: six patients (16.2%) with conservative treatment failure (defined as the appearance of neurological symptoms, listhesis >3.5 mm, kyphotic deformation >11°, and/or non-union), and 31 patients (83.7%) with successful conservative management (defined as complete consolidation confirmed by computed tomography [CT] at the 6-month followup). All participants were fitted with rigid collars of the Miami type, and standardized follow-up was performed until consolidation or failure. CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to examine imaging characteristics. Sagittal balance parameters were assessed using CT, and signs of acute disc injury, prevertebral edema, facet synovitis, and interspinous hyperintense signal were assessed using MRI.Results: Thirty-seven patients were diagnosed with unilateral cervical facet fractures between 2009 and 2020. In this sample, acute disc injury had a significative association to failure of conservative treatment in F2 and F3 AOSpine facet fractures, 100% of the failure group presented with traumatic disc injury compared to 9.7% of the successful group, for the other variables: prevertebral edema, 83.7% vs. 41.9%; facet synovitis, 100% vs. 77.4%; and interspinous hyperintensity, 71.4% vs. 38.7%, respectively. With conservative management, all F1 fractures healed successfully. Conservative treatment failed in 20% of F2 fractures and 50% of F3 fractures, respectively. In terms of cervical sagittal balance parameters, there were no significant differences between groups.Conclusions: Conservative management was successful in all F1 fractures. In F2 and F3 types, there was a significant association between acute disc injury and conservative treatment failure.
Race, Genealogy, and the Genomic Archive in Post-apartheid South Africa
Authors: Schramm Katharina
Published: April 2022

From the early 2000s onward, scientists, politicians, and intellectuals have presented the South African gene pool as a new archive for the new nation, suggesting a non-racial unity in diversity through common human origins. In this discourse, population genomics and genetic ancestry allude to metaphors of shared kinship to overcome the legacies of race. However, a focus on the underlying practices of measuring and classification reveals how the genomic archive is implicated in the history of apartheid and its racialized subjectivities. Similarly, individual interpretations of genetic ancestry show that race is constantly brought forth in this archival process. The genomic archive interweaves measuring practices in the sciences with the politics of social and biographical experience—a relationship that is at the heart of genetic genealogies.
