On Transnational Feminist Solidarity: The Case of Angela Davis in Egypt

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In the early 1970s, Angela Davis visited Egypt, a trip she wrote about in her book Women, Culture, and Politics. This article uses Davis’s trip as a lens through which to approach the question of transnational feminist solidarity through the eyes of multiple generations of Egyptian feminists. It argues that the particular conditions in Egypt in the 1950s through to 1970s allowed for new international forms of solidarity focused on material conditions. This enabled Egyptian feminists to forge solidarity with women across the globe, Angela Davis included, who located gender oppression within the same structures, namely capitalism and imperialism. This type of solidarity was made possible by the particular political and economic context of the 1950s–1970s, which differed radically from the eras preceding and following it, as well as the analysis that came out of this context, including a strong focus on capitalism and imperialism. Indeed the decline of this type of analysis can be located in the changes that occurred in Egypt in the 1970s and 1980s—following the shift to an open-market economy—that led to a decline in material analysis. This shift has had major effects on the ways in which Egyptian feminists imagined and put into practice forms of transnational feminist solidarity. By looking at Davis’s encounter with Egyptian feminists, this article demonstrates how practices that were built on a material analysis of gender allowed for solidarity to be created by making differences productive rather than merely divisive. \n

Role of natural killer cells in intraocular melanoma metastasis.

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

The authors studied the role of natural killer (NK) cells in spontaneous metastasis of murine intraocular melanoma by transplanting murine B16 melanoma cells into the anterior chamber of the eye in syngeneic C57BL/6 mice and determining the number of metastatic lung tumor colonies after 40 days. Depletion of NK activity by anti-asialo GM1 serum dramatically enhanced metastasis and augmentation of NK activity by interferon inhibited it. The strong correlation between host NK activity and intraocular melanoma metastasis indicated that NK cells have an important role in spontaneous metastasis of intraocular melanoma.
A comprehensive approach to improving laboratory services in rural Zambia

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Achieving quality assurance in laboratories in rural ZambiaSaint Francis Hospital (SFH) (Figure 1) is 1 of 2 referral hospitals serving more than 1.5 million people, most of whom live in subsistence farming communities in Zambia's Eastern Province.We wanted to improve quality assurance in the laboratory service at SFH.The first step was to ensure that all laboratory staff were committed to implementing a quality management system with the ultimate aim of achieving formal accreditation. 1 To achieve our goals, we established collaborations with the 3 institutions listed in Table 1. Engaging and motivating staffA major challenge in resource-poor settings is staff morale. 2 To motivate staff, we conducted presentations and meetings that covered a variety of topics such as defining requirements for quality in performing laboratory procedures and in completing tasks, instituting formal handover, setting goals, reviewing the roster (which resulted in staff working 1 weekend every 2 weeks rather than every weekend), holding laboratory meetings on a weekly rather than a monthly basis, and fostering a safe environment for learning.

H-764GU EGI: Upgrade Path for GATM and CNS/ATM Interoperability

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The H-764G Embedded GPS/INS (EGI) has been an enormously successful product with over 70 different s/w adaptations (or missionizations) currently flying and more missionizations currently under development. When the H-764G was first introduced in 1994, one important design feature was the availability of spare card slots that could be populated with additional functionality as technology advanced or as new requirements were placed on the host platform. That forethought has now borne fruit with the
impending changes to both the Military and the civil airspace environment. Now, many DoD and industry leaders are in the throes of determining how their current military systems will evolve to allow operation within the Communication Navigation Surveillance / Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) airspace mandates that are currently being levied. Key elements of the CNS/ATM requirements are performance and safety. CNS/ATM will eventually result in an environment the FAA has termed
free flight. Free flight requires a shift in Air Traffic
Control (ATC) philosophy, from control to management. Free flight creates a homogenous airspace that will ultimately allow aircraft operators to select user preferred flight plans saving time, money, and improving airspace use efficiency. The reality is that the environment is dramatically changing for both the aircraft operators and the air traffic service providers. No operator is immune to these changes and those who desire to continue operating in civil airspace will be required to be compliant in terms of new procedures and supporting avionics.
In many platforms, these new requirements/upgrades mean additional avionics equipment in already over-crowded equipment bays and cockpits. The spare card slots in the H-764G unit provide an opportunity for these platforms to adhere to CNS/ATM and Global Air Traffic Management (GATM) requirements without increasing LRUs and in many cases actually reducing overall space claims for these technologies. This paper will discuss Honeywell's technical
upgrade path and the new capabilities of the H-764GU (U
for Upgrade) that will satisfy these requirements. CNS/ATM Features to be incorporated in the H-764GU include the addition of Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR) functionality consisting of VOR, ILS, Marker Beacon, and LAAS capabilities, along with Navigation Management capabilities with associated Integrity Monitoring for RNP area navigation. Military features include a GPS receiver upgrade to address over-the-air- keying, along with Joint Precision Approach & Landing System (JPALS)
capabilities.
Topic Modeling with Fine-tuning LLMs and Bag of Sentences

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Large language models (LLM)'s are increasingly used for topic modeling outperforming classical topic models such as LDA. Commonly, pre-trained LLM encoders such as BERT are used out-of-the-box despite the fact that fine-tuning is known to improve LLMs considerably. The challenge lies in obtaining a suitable (labeled) dataset for fine-tuning. In this paper, we use the recent idea to use bag of sentences as the elementary unit in computing topics. In turn, we derive an approach FT-Topic to perform unsupervised fine-tuning relying primarily on two steps for constructing a training dataset in an automatic fashion. First, a heuristic method to identifies pairs of sentence groups that are either assumed to be of the same or different topics. Second, we remove sentence pairs that are likely labeled incorrectly. The dataset is then used to fine-tune an encoder LLM, which can be leveraged by any topic modeling approach using embeddings. However, in this work, we demonstrate its effectiveness by deriving a novel state-of-the-art topic modeling method called SenClu, which achieves fast inference through an expectation-maximization algorithm and hard assignments of sentence groups to a single topic, while giving users the possibility to encode prior knowledge on the topic-document distribution.

[State of Dogiel type II neurons in the wall of the cat small intestine following a single exposure to gravitational stress].

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Under study was the nervous apparatus of the small intestine in 22 cats subjected to a single gravitation stress by rotation in a centrifuge of 1,5 m radius. The stress was equal to 10 units, duration from 2,5 to 3,5 min., and was of head-pelvis direction. The material was treated after Nissl and Gomori in Chilingarian's modification. Within 1-3 days after exposure to gravitation stresses in the Auerbach plexus there appeared changes in the shape of the body of the type II Dogiel cells, such as pericellular oedema, vacuoles in the cytoplasm, chromatolysis and varicous thickenings of nerve fibres. Terminal structures of the dendrites of the type II Dogiel cells are thickened. The changes are most pronounced within the 4th-7th days after exposure to gravitation and are observed as late as the 14th day, being sharply diminished by the 30th day.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand Prediction Based on Three-Dimensional Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Machine Learning

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is an important indicator of the degree of organic pollution in water bodies. Traditional methods for BOD5 determination, although widely used, are complicated and dependent on accurate chemical measurements of dissolved oxygen. The aim of this study was to propose a facile method for predicting biochemical oxygen demand by fluorescence signals using three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy and parallel factor analysis in combination with a machine learning algorithm. The water samples were incubated for five days using the national standard method, during which the dissolved oxygen contents and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy data were measured at eight-hour intervals. The maximum fluorescence intensity of three fluorescence components was decomposed and extracted by parallel factor analysis. The relationship between the maximum fluorescence of the three fluorescence components and the BOD5 values was established using a random forest model. The results showed that there was a good correlation between the fluorescence components and BOD values. The BOD5 values were effectively predicted by the random forest model with a high goodness of fit (R2 = 0.878) and low mean square error (MSE = 0.28). Although this method did not shorten the incubation time, successful BOD5 prediction was realized by the non-contact measurement of fluorescence signals. This avoids the complicated operation of DO determination, improves detection efficiency, and provides a convenient solution for analyzing large quantities of water samples and monitoring facile water quality.
Static Disorder has Dynamic Impact on Energy Transport in Biomimetic Light-Harvesting Complexes

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Despite extensive studies, many questions remain about what structural and energetic factors give rise to the remarkable energy transport efficiency of photosynthetic light-harvesting protein complexes, owing largely to the inability to synthetically control such factors in these natural systems. Herein, we demonstrate energy transfer within a biomimetic light-harvesting complex consisting of identical chromophores attached in a circular array to a protein scaffold derived from the tobacco mosaic virus coat protein. We confirm the capability of energy transport by observing ultrafast depolarization in transient absorption anisotropy measurements and a redshift in time-resolved emission spectra in these complexes. Modeling the system with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations recapitulates the observed anisotropy decays, suggesting an inter-site hopping rate as high as 1.6 ps-1. With these simulations, we identify static disorder in orientation, site energy, and degree of coupling as key remaining factors to control to achieve long-range energy transfer in these systems. We thereby establish this system as a highly promising, bottom-up model for studying long-range energy transfer in light-harvesting protein complexes.
Corneal hydrops induced by Bell's paralysis in a case of corneal ectasia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

An 18-year-old male patient presented with suddenly decreased vision, itching, corneal edema and an inability to close the left eye. They had left Bell’s paralysis for two weeks and had used high diopter glasses for five years. The best corrected visual acuity was 0.4 in their right eye and counting fingers in the left eye. Biomicroscopic examination revealed thinning and steepening of the cornea in the right eye and anterior protrusion of the cornea, stromal edema and punctate disruption of the epithelium in the left eye. Topographic image of the right eye was consistent with keratoconus. Six months later, stromal edema gradually regressed and a corneal scar ensued. This case presentation emphasizes that Bell’s palsy may induce disease progression in a patient with preexisting corneal ectasia and results in corneal hydrops.

Entrepreneurial Intention from the Context of B40 Strata

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Moving towards a developed nation in 2050, government is committed to boost up the wellbeing and income of low-income earners (B40) household towards middle class society. Considering SMEs instrumental roles in creating prosperity for the nation, variety of programs have been established in promoting entrepreneurial activity to address pockets of poverty and socio-economic imbalances among B40 group. Therefore, study related to B40 entrepreneurial intention is worth further examination. Following the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), the study examines the extent to which attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control predict entrepreneurial intention among B40 in Malaysia. A questionnaire survey was done using the sample of B40. The hypotheses were analysed by using partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The result suggests that only attitude and perceived behavioural control were significant to explain B40 entrepreneurial intention yet subjective norm was found as a non-significant predictor in explaining B40 entrepreneurial intention. The paper extends the current knowledge on entrepreneurial intention by analyzing the impact of different factors recognized by TPB on entrepreneurial intention and provide insightful input from the context of B40 in Malaysia.
The Typicality Ranking Task: A New Method to Derive Typicality Judgments from Children

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

An alternative method for deriving typicality judgments, applicable in young children that are not familiar with numerical values yet, is introduced, allowing researchers to study gradedness at younger ages in concept development. Contrary to the long tradition of using rating-based procedures to derive typicality judgments, we propose a method that is based on typicality ranking rather than rating, in which items are gradually sorted according to their typicality, and that requires a minimum of linguistic knowledge. The validity of the method is investigated and the method is compared to the traditional typicality rating measurement in a large empirical study with eight different semantic concepts. The results show that the typicality ranking task can be used to assess childrenâs category knowledge and to evaluate how this knowledge evolves over time. Contrary to earlier held assumptions in studies on typicality in young children, our results also show that preference is not so much a confounding variable to be avoided, but that both variables are often significantly correlated in older children and even in adults.
Monitoring of plankton diversity in Dianchi Lake by environmental DNA technology

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Surveys of zooplankter and phytoplankton through environmental DNA (eDNA) and metagenomic technology across Dianchi Lake and the estuary of inflowing rivers was conducted, to evaluate the microbial diversity of Dianchi Lake and the estuary of four in flowing rivers. Diversity of plankton and the similarity of dominant species results revealed that the dominant eukaryotic phytoplankton in Dianchi Lake was Bacillatiophyta. The Shannon diversity index values of phytoplankton and zooplankton ranged from 3.68 to 18.36 and 0.54 to 2.49, respectively. The main genus taxa in the Dianchi Lake were similar with the inflowing river. The distribution map of Shannon diversity index gave overall insight into the variation of plankton diversity. The research proved that the eDNA technology was effective in biodiversity monitoring in aquatic ecosystem, and the inflowing river may impose an adverse influence on the ecosystem health of Dianchi Lake.
