“Sissy Style”
Authors: Kehrer Lauron J. 
Published: August 2023

For the past decade, queer and trans rappers have been the dominant force in New Orleans bounce, a dance-centric hip hop genre specific to that city. Inspired by the language of bounce rappers themselves, such as Sissy Nobby, who self-identify as gay and reclaim a once pejorative term to openly express their sexual and gender identities through their performances, music journalist Alison Fensterstock coined the term “sissy bounce” to describe this current phenomenon. Since the genre first developed in the early 1990s, dancing, or “shaking” as it is called locally, has gone hand-in-hand with the music. More recently, bounce dance styles, including twerking, have drawn mainstream attention, fueled in part by controversial performances such as those by Miley Cyrus. “Twerking” is now part of the national vocabulary, but is largely misunderstood, especially its distinctly queer iterations.
Drawing on interviews and fieldwork conducted in New Orleans, this article illustrates the ways in which gendered shaking styles have been adapted among its queer and trans participants and its role as kinetic community response to trauma inflicted by Hurricane Katrina. It demonstrates that shaking is an example of both a racialized and gendered performance and a performative act in which gender and racial identity are co-constructed. Finally, it considers the implications of twerking’s exposure on a national stage and how New Orleans bounce artists have reacted. Bounce music and dance are interconnected forms of expression; considering them together helps us to better understand the relationship between sound and gesture in hip hop.
Ubiquitin‐targeted bacterial effectors: rule breakers of the ubiquitin system
Authors: Roberts Cameron G , Franklin Tyler G , Pruneda Jonathan N 
Published: August 2023

AbstractRegulation through post‐translational ubiquitin signaling underlies a large portion of eukaryotic biology. This has not gone unnoticed by invading pathogens, many of which have evolved mechanisms to manipulate or subvert the host ubiquitin system. Bacteria are particularly adept at this and rely heavily upon ubiquitin‐targeted virulence factors for invasion and replication. Despite lacking a conventional ubiquitin system of their own, many bacterial ubiquitin regulators loosely follow the structural and mechanistic rules established by eukaryotic ubiquitin machinery. Others completely break these rules and have evolved novel structural folds, exhibit distinct mechanisms of regulation, or catalyze foreign ubiquitin modifications. Studying these interactions can not only reveal important aspects of bacterial pathogenesis but also shed light on unexplored areas of ubiquitin signaling and regulation. In this review, we discuss the methods by which bacteria manipulate host ubiquitin and highlight aspects that follow or break the rules of ubiquitination.

AbstractThis paper explores the prediction of the soluble solid content (SSC) in the visible and near-infrared (400–1,000 nm) regions of Baise mango. Hyperspectral images of Baise mangoes with wavelengths of 400–1,000 nm were obtained using a hyperspectral imaging system. Multiple scatter correction (MSC) was chosen to remove the effect of noise on the accuracy of the partial least squares (PLS) regression model. On this basis, the characteristic wavelengths of mango SSC were selected using the competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), genetic algorithm (GA), uninformative variable elimination (UVE), and combined CARS + GA-SPA, CARS + UVE-SPA, and GA + UVE-SPA characteristic wavelength methods. The results show that the combined MSC-CARS + GA-SPA-PLS algorithm can reduce redundant information and improve the computational efficiency, so it is an effective method to predict the SSC of mangoes.

Published: August 2023

Reactive airway disease has a multifactorial aetiology, where genetic liabilities and environmental exposures interact in complex ways to cause reversible airway inflammation and obstruction and acute exacerbation can be life threatening. The present study was to assess the reasons of exacerbation among children with reactive airway disease which include infection, cold climate, lunar variations, discontinuation of metered dose inhaler and allergens and irritants. The study was conducted in a tertiary care centre Thiruvananthapuram among 101 caretakers of children with reactive airway disease. A structured interview schedule was used to assess the socio demographic data, clinical data of the child and the reasons of exacerbation. Among 101 children with reactive airway disease majority of children 67.3% the reason for exacerbation was cold climate, in 16.8% infection, 21.8% activity, 8.9% lunar variation, 10.9% discontinuation of metered dose inhaler and in 28.7% other factors of exacerbation include strong odour, pets, pollen, pests, smoke, mosquito repellents and dust. The study also revealed that 72.3% are having family history of allergic diseases and 27.7% do not have any family history of allergic diseases. Of the 73 children with family history of allergic disease 79.5% were having family history of asthma, 16.4% were having allergic rhinitis and 4.1% were having allergic dermatitis. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways. It is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood, affecting more than 6 million children worldwide Advances in science have led to an increased understanding of asthma and its mechanisms as well as improved treatment approaches. Proper identification and elimination of triggers can reduce the exacerbation of asthma.

Background: Jharkhand State Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation (JMF) plays a vital role in the processing of raw milk purchased from Jharkhand State member-producers and contributes to the development of the dairy sector. The current study explores the essential components in JMF's dairy supply chain, focusing on the marketing unit, and provides a preliminary framework for making decisions regarding its ramifications. Methods: To compile a SWOT analysis of the milk marketing system in JMF, data were collected from dairy producer members, including dairy farmers, marketing unit executives, and key informants. This includes establishing the objectives of the dairy sector and the internal and external critical factors (CFs). Because SWOT analysis does not give an investigative basis for evaluating the priorities of CFs, the analytic hierarchy approach is utilised to determine the priorities of detected CFs. The CFs have also been ranked according to their importance. Results: This study's findings indicate that the SWOT-based methodology gives crucial sensitivity when evaluating marketing chain strategy for dairy cooperatives like JMF. The findings of this study show that wide range of quality dairy products, absence of strong sales and marketing experience, emerging new markets offering greater marketing potential, seasonal slump are the major strength, weakness, opportunity and threat of JMF, respectively.
Algerian dialect, a sine qua non to learning standard Arabic
Authors: Sahari Haféda , Azzoug Omar 
Published: August 2023

There is much concern regarding the linguistic distance between the home language and the school tongue of the Algerian pupil. However, this concern does not appear to filter down into in-service teacher training and so this apparent lack of training may result in a lack of awareness about representing bidialectalism within classroom displays. The paper aims to describe the various teaching activities observed during the Fall semester of 2020 in two different classrooms with two teachers (respectively T1 and T2). The intention is to show how the three learning areas that are covered in grade 1, namely, Numeracy, Literacy, and Life Skills are approached and taught daily in these classrooms with specific reference to the various language activities we observed. The participants included two teachers and students in a primary school named El Arbi-Etbessi situated in Tlemcen. Data was collected using the observation method and questionnaires. The results reveal that obligatory monolingualism causes educational problems for Algerian children and the government on different scales.

Evaluating the Efficiency of Renewable Energy Technologies: Photovoltaic, Wind Turbine, Battery Bank, and Hydrogen Storage
Authors: Lazaroiu Gheorghe , Gmal  Osman Mohammed , Cristian-Valentin Strejoiu 
Published: August 2023

This analysis focuses on identifying the most efficient and cost-effective method of supplying power to a remote site, exploring photovoltaics (PV) and small wind turbines as primary power sources, and evaluating battery banks and hydrogen storage fuel cell systems as potential storage options. The hydrogen storage system converts surplus renewable power into hydrogen through an elec-trolyzer, storing it for later use in a fuel cell when renewable sources produce less power, enabling efficient energy storage during peak production periods.
A sensitivity analysis of wind speed and hydrogen subsystem cost was conducted to evaluate the hydrogen storage system&#039;s performance. The optimal system graph suggests that the hydrogen subsystem must significantly decrease in cost to rival the battery bank, and in most cases, both the hydrogen system and battery bank were recommended together, offering reliable and efficient power for the remote site.
While the battery bank is presently the more feasible option for powering the remote site, continuous monitoring and evaluation of both systems, considering site location, energy needs, and available resources, are essential to determine the most suitable power supply approach as technology advances and costs evolve over time.
