Abstract
Maternal environmental factors have been demonstrated to exert significant influences on the health of offspring. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is an important neuroendocrine stress system that can be influenced by early-life challenges. Our previous research has revealed that the consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) by pregnant and lactating rats leads to the programming of HPA axis activity in male offspring of the first generation (referred to as F1HFD/C). The present study aimed to investigate whether the observed remodeling of the HPA axis could be inherited by second-generation male offspring (referred to as F2HFD/C), following maternal HFD exposure. The results showed that F2HFD/C rats exhibited enhanced basal HPA axis activity, similar to their F1HFD/C ancestors. Moreover, F2HFD/C rats displayed exacerbated corticosterone responses to restraint and lipopolysaccharide-induced stress, but not to insulin-induced hypoglycemia stress. Furthermore, maternal HFD exposure significantly aggravated depression-like behavior in the F2 generation subjected to chronic unpredictable mild stress. To investigate the role of central CGRP signaling in maternal diet-induced programming of the HPA axis across generations, we conducted central infusion of αCGRP8-37, a CGRP receptor antagonist, in F2HFD/C rats. The results demonstrated that αCGRP8-37, attenuated depression-like behaviors and reduced the hyperresponsiveness of the HPA axis to restraint stress in these rats. Therefore, central CGRP signaling may contribute to maternal diet-induced programming of HPA axis across generations. In conclusion, our study provides evidence that maternal HFD consumption can lead to multigenerational programming of the HPA axis and behaviors in adult male descendants.

Abstract
Consumption of a Western diet (WD) consisting of excess fat and carbohydrates activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which has emerged as an important risk factor for systemic and tissue insulin resistance. We recently discovered that activated mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs) in diet-induced obesity induces CD36 expression, increases ectopic lipid accumulation, and results in systemic and tissue insulin resistance. Here, we further investigated whether endothelial cell (EC) specific MR (ECMR) activation participates in WD-induced ectopic skeletal muscle lipid accumulation, insulin resistance and dysfunction. Six-week-old female ECMR knockout (ECMR-/-) and wild type (ECMR+/+) mice were fed either a WD or a chow diet for 16 weeks. ECMR-/- mice were found to have decreased WD-induced in vivo glucose intolerance and insulin resistance at 16-weeks. Improved insulin sensitivity was accompanied by increased glucose transporter type 4 (Glut4) expression in conjunction with improved soleus insulin metabolic signaling in phosphoinositide 3-kinases/protein kinase B and endothelial nitric oxide synthase activation. Additionally, ECMR-/- also blunted WD–induced increases in CD36 expression and associated elevations in soleus free fatty acid, total intramyocellular lipid content, oxidative stress, and soleus fibrosis. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo activation of ECMR increased EC derived exosomal CD36 that was further taken up by skeletal muscle cells, leading to increased skeletal muscle CD36 levels. These findings indicate that in the context of an obesogenic WD, enhanced ECMR signaling increases EC derived exosomal CD36 resulting in increased uptake and elevated concentrations of CD36 in skeletal muscle cells, contributing to increased lipid metabolic disorders and soleus insulin resistance.
So Typical! Philip Roth's Age Stereotypes
Authors: Wohlmann Anita 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Stereotypes and clichés about older age typically evoke criticism and resistance. Rightly so, given that they simplify, overgeneralize, distort, and limit. This article treats stereotypes and clichés as forms that can indeed have powerful and harmful meanings; however, it claims that a focus on content may overlook some of the surprising and unpredictable affordances these forms can also have: stereotypes can help order experience, offer guidelines for behavior, describe relationships, and provide solace and comfort. The article uses Philip Roth's novel Everyman as a particularly rich test case in which stereotypes and clichés abound: a grumpy and “dirty” old man sees in aging nothing but decline, tragedy, and an accumulation of illnesses—associations that age scholars have challenged for decades. These stereotypes, however, also have less predictable affordances, especially when they are conspicuously repeated and amplified via literary strategies. Rather than claiming that these strategies undermine and challenge the problematic nature of age stereotypes and clichés, this article aims to broaden the repertoire of critical approaches to these forms.
Ron Silliman's Universe: Aging, Epic Poetry, and Everyday Life
Authors: Guimarães João Paulo 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This essay explores Ron Silliman's Universe, a serial poetic project which, according to the publisher's description, “were [the author] to live long enough, would take him three centuries to complete.” The article specifically focuses on the significance of the book's length for a general discussion of aging, poetry and temporality. One should bear in mind that Universe is not a retrospective work of synthesis but rather a present and future-oriented project. The point of departure for the article's analysis will be the following passage from Northern Soul, the second book in the series: “Page 43 / you will read / differently if / there are 94 to the book / than if there are just / 45, What about / 523 what then / little hen.” Notorious for his massive tomes of verse, Silliman establishes an analogy between the length of his life and the length of his work that, blows up conventional chronological accounts of life. In this poem, death, instead of looming on the horizon, is internalized as the point of transition from one page to the next, the death of an event being the birth of another. Everyday life thus reveals itself in all its subtle variety, its generative evanescence paradoxically enriching the life of the poet. Silliman's epic poetry is not, that is, a matter of mastery or life extension (it makes no claims to totalization or immortality) but rather one of life enchantment, achieved through a greater bardic attunement to the granularities of everyday life.
Picturing Solidarity: Photography and Cuban Internationalism during the Vietnam War
Authors: Chase Michelle 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article studies the use of photography in the construction of solidarity between Cuba and Vietnam during the war years. It shows the way photography helped illustrate and articulate Cuba's evolving understanding of the Vietnam War as a conflict that was analogous to, and in some ways the culmination of, Cuba's own revolution. While Cuba enthusiastically embraced and disseminated photographs from Vietnam, the meanings attached to these photos were also modified to speak to domestic concerns. By focusing on the images used in two specific solidarity campaigns devoted to imprisoned activist Võ Thị Thắng and “martyr” Nguyễn Văn Trỗi, the article explores the way Cuban understandings of acceptable forms of revolutionary violence and its gendered expressions shaped the meanings attributed to these two figures.
Hong Kong in Transition: Photography and Liberation at the End of the Pacific War
Authors: Attewell Nadine 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article thinks with and against photographs taken by British military photographers in Hong Kong at the end of World War II, during the transition from Japanese back to British colonial rule. Building on Lisa Yoneyama's account of the “postwar settlements” through which “the war's meaning” was defined and contained, I situate the photographs as part of a broader British effort to reassert the legitimacy of colonial rule at a crisis point for empire by refiguring Asian liberation as an affordance, or synonym, of British (re)occupation. At the same time, I read the photographs for what they can tell us about the liberatory knowledges that Asian colonial subjects had cultivated, or might have, throughout years of war and occupation. In this way, the article meditates on the predicaments of liberation in an Asian place where the horizon of decolonization continues to be difficult to discern, focusing on the care work necessary for survival as a crucial site and practice of liberatory political imagining.
Methods of Memory: Time Travels in the Archives
Authors: Yin Sim Chi 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In this article, the author critically reflects on her long project One Day We'll Understand, a multichapter research and art work that complicates the historiography of the “Malayan Emergency,” the anticolonial war in the former British colony of Malaya (1948–60)—made in the context of a growing number of art works globally dealing with the ghosts of empire. In charting the project's various parts, the author discusses how she uses art and multiple modes of archiving to conjure the specters of colonialism and traces of resistance and generate a different form of knowledge and remembrance, and how that offers us possible paths of restitution and repair.
Back to the Future: Time Traveling to 1942
Authors: Creef Elena Tajima 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Japanese new media artist Masaki Fujihata's exhibition and groundbreaking accompanying public augmented reality (AR) installation “BeHere/1942: A New Lens on the Japanese American Incarceration” remind us that even after eighty years, the ghost life of World War II Japanese American internment continues to haunt us. “BeHere/1942” revisits the War Relocation Authority's photographic history of the Japanese American incarceration experience using digital technology, including AR, which allows contemporary spectators to immerse themselves in the events of “relocation day” in the spring of 1942. Fujihata provides a new way of seeing, remembering, and experiencing photographs of the Japanese American wartime past in the present—empowered with contemporary media tools that are distinctly from what he calls “our own time”: AR.
Gluing yeast peroxisomes – composition and function of membrane contact sites
Authors: Wu Fei , de Boer Rinse , van der Klei Ida J. 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT
Membrane contact sites are defined as regions of close proximity between two membranes; this association is mediated by protein–protein and/or protein–lipid interactions. Contact sites are often involved in lipid transport, but also can perform other functions. Peroxisomal membrane contact sites have obtained little attention compared to those of other cell organelles. However, recent studies resulted in a big leap in our knowledge of the occurrence, composition and function of peroxisomal contact sites. Studies in yeast strongly contributed to this progress. In this Review, we present an overview of our current knowledge on peroxisomal membrane contact sites in various yeast species, including Hansenula polymorpha, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris and Yarrowia lipolytica. Yeast peroxisomes form contacts with almost all other cellular organelles and with the plasma membrane. The absence of a component of a yeast peroxisomal contact site complex results in a range of peroxisomal phenotypes, including metabolic and biogenesis defects and alterations in organelle number, size or position.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
An efficient structural refinement technique for protein-RNA complexes is proposed based on a combination of AI-based modeling and flexible docking. Specifically, an enhanced sampling method called parallel cascade selection molecular dynamics (PaCS-MD) was extended to include flexible docking to construct protein-RNA complexes from those obtained by AI-based modeling (AlphaFold2). With the present technique, the conformational sampling of flexible RNA regions is accelerated by PaCS-MD, enabling one to construct plausible models for protein-RNA complexes. For demonstration, PaCS-MD constructed several protein-RNA complexes of the RNA-binding Musashi-1 (MSI1) family of proteins, which were validated by comparing a group of crucial residues for RNA-binding with experimental complexes. Our analyses suggest that PaCS-MD improves the quality of complex modeling compared to the standard protocol based on template-based modeling (Phyre2). Furthermore, PaCS-MD could also be a beneficial technique for constructing complexes of non-native RNA-binding to proteins.
Selective Conversions of CO2 into Value-Added Chemicals via Cooperative Catalysis Using Multifunctional Catalysts
Authors: Ema Tadashi 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not only a greenhouse gas but also a renewable carbon source for organic synthesis. Here we have summarized our studies on the conversions of CO2 into value-added chemicals via cooperative catalysis using multifunctional catalysts. For example, bifunctional metalloporphyrin catalysts with quaternary ammonium halides were developed for the selective synthesis of cyclic carbonates or polycarbonates from epoxides and CO2. Bifunctional MgII and ZnII porphyrins showed high catalytic activity for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates, while bifunctional AlIII porphyrins catalyzed the copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide and CO2 to give poly(cyclohexene carbonate). The high catalytic activities resulted from the cooperative action of the central metal ion and the quaternary ammonium salts. Chiral catalysts for the kinetic resolution of terminal or internal epoxides with CO2 were also developed. In addition, macrocyclic multinuclear metal complex Zn5L3, which was synthesized by the self-assembly of Zn(OAc)2 and a BINOL derivative (L), catalyzed the reduction of CO2 with phenylsilane to produce various useful synthetic intermediates and organic compounds.

Published: June 2023

Background
Children born with adverse birth outcomes (ABOs) have a greater risk of mortality, stunting, and poor cognitive development. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended at least eight antenatal care (ANC) contacts before delivery for a healthy mother and baby. We examined the association between compliance with this recommendation and the risk of ABOs, such as low birthweight (LBW) and preterm birth (PTB), in the Tamale Metropolitan Area of the northern region of Ghana.

Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional study in the Tamale Metropolis of the northern region of Ghana. We analysed a systematic random sample of 402 postnatal women aged 15–49 drawn from five public health facilities. We gathered information electronically on their birth outcomes, specifically their birthweight and gestation at delivery, using a structured questionnaire. Information on women’s background characteristics, including the number of ANC contacts made before delivery, was also collected. The association between the number of ANC contacts and ABOs was investigated using regression models.

Results
We found that 37.6% (95% CI: 32.9, 42.4) of our sample had at least eight ANC contacts before delivery. We estimated that 18.9% of babies were born prematurely and 9.0% were born LBW. ABOs were found in 22.9% (95% CI: 19.0, 27.3) of babies. A minimum of eight ANC contacts before delivery reduced the risk of ABOs (adjusted IRR = 0.43; 95% CI: 0.25, 0.73), PTB (AOR = 0.28; 95% CI: 0.14, 0.58), and LBW (AOR = 0.36; 95% CI: 0.14, 0.91).

Conclusion
In the current study’s setting, about a quarter of newborns have ABOs, jeopardising their survival, health, and development. Compliance with at least eight ANC contacts prior to birth was associated with a reduced incidence rate ratio of ABOs. However, less than four out of every ten pregnant women make at least eight ANC contacts before delivery. Efforts are needed to increase coverage of eight contacts among pregnant women before delivery to reduce the risk of ABOs in the study setting.

Identifikasi kebakaran hutan dan lahan guna bertanggung jawab atas suksesi vegetasi hutan pasca kebakaran hutan dan lahan. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan teknik penginderaan jauh melalui pemanfaatan indeks kebakaran hutan dan lahan. Perbedaan penggunaan indeks dalam identifikasi area terbakar akan mengakibatkan perbedaaan interpretasi kebakaran hutan dan lahan. Penelitian ini berfokus membandingan indeks kebakaran hutan dan lahan yang umum seperti Normalized Burn Ratio (NRB), Burned Area Index for Sentinel-2 (BAIS2), Mid-Infrared Burend Index (MIRBI), dan indeks vegetasi seperti Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) pada citra satelit Sentinel-2A. Perbandingan yang digunakan berdasarkan metode thresholding, indeks keterpisahan dan uji kemampuan indeks. Hasil perbandingan indeks NBR, BAIS2, MIRBI, dan NDVI dengan metode thresholding, indeks keterpisahan dan uji kemampuan indeks diperoleh pada metode thresholding uji akurasi dengan nilai terbaik didapatkan pada indeks NBR µ-2σ dengan luas data valid 565,891Ha atau 75,51% sesuai dengan data referensi kebakaran hutan dan lahan dari Taman Nasional Gunung Merbabu. Pada metode indeks keterpisahan NBR juga mendapat hasil 12,705 dimana semakin besar nilai indeks keterpisahan maka akan sebaik baik dalam deteksi area kebakaran hutan dan lahan. Pada metode uji kemampuan indeks BAIS2 mendapati nilai 4, 878 dimana nilai tersebut lebih dari 1 yang menunjukan BAIS2 memiliki kemampuan untuk mendeteksi tingkat keparahan kebakaran hutan dan lahan. Dari tiga metode yang telah dilakukan NBR memiliki kualitas yang lebih dari indeks BAIS2, MIRBI, dan NDVI dalam mendeteksi area kebakaran hutan dan lahan.
“Invectivity” and Interpretive Authority: Religious Conflict in Kilian Leib’s Annales maiores
Authors: Schmidt Bernward 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The article analyses forms of invective speech in a historiographical work composed during the first half of the sixteenth century. The Annales maiores of the Augustinian canon Kilian Leib are not only an eminent source for the perception of the Reformation transformations in southern Germany, but also offer exquisite insights into anti-Reformation patterns of thought and writing of an intellectual and pastor. The article argues that by analysing “invectivity,” the character of Leib’s annals can also be understood more precisely: as private chronicle that formed its contribution to the formation of confessional identities.
“Nit allein den rechtglaubigen, sonder auch den irrigen: Two Sixteenth-Century German Catholic Prayer Books as Tools of Re-Catholicisation”
Authors: Norberg-Schiefauer Fredrik 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article presents two German Catholic prayer books written by the two sixteenth-century priests Johann Faber OP and Peter Michael Brillmacher SJ – known for their catechetical and apologetical work in areas of confessional division. Adding to the claims by early twentieth-century researchers that these books were used for “resisting and combating Protestantism,” I argue that they were tools for the re-Catholicising of Protestant populations. By referring to the Church fathers “and the old Christians” as proof for the ancient origin and the orthodoxy of beliefs and practices questioned by the Protestant reformers, and by countering “misconceptions” about the Catholic faith, the authors strived to lead their readers in the direction toward “true religion and divine worship.”
Exploring Terrorism Prevention: An Organizational Perspective on Police Investigations
Authors: Dosdall Henrik , Löckmann Teresa 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The article analyzes the investigations conducted by the Berlin police into the subsequent perpetrator of the vehicle-ramming attack at a Berlin Christmas market on December 19, 2016. We explore why the police closed these investigations prematurely and thereby focus on an attempt to prevent lone actor terrorism. The analysis shows that the police closed its investigations owing to organizational dynamics driven by an increasing need to justify further resource investments in the face of absent conclusive evidence and scarce resources in relation to the organizational case ecology. We propose hypotheses for future research and formulate three contributions to existing research on the sociology of police, terrorism prevention, and lone actor research.

Abstract
The various topological indices are helpful in predicting the bioactivity of molecular compounds in quantitative structure–activity relationship/quantitative structure–property relationship study. The Balaban index and Harary index are the distance-based indices. The sum-Balaban index is another variant of Balaban index. Harary index can be used to indicate the decay of interaction between any two atoms of molecules. Whereas, the Balaban and sum-Balaban indices can be linked with some physico-chemical properties of octanes and lower benzenoids. In this work, the closed expression of Balaban index, sum-Balaban index, and Harary index of some regular dendrimers in the form of parameter
