What happened to “the motley crew,” the mobile, insurgent, creative social formation, crossing racial, gender and generational lines, that historians Peter Linebaugh Marcus Rediker identify as a crucial counterforce within consolidation of capitalism, imperialism, modern state? I address question by way twentieth-century aesthetic experiments undertaken Trinidadian writer political activist C. L. R. James Brazilian visual artist counterculturalist Hélio Oiticica. While insist crew...
To assess perinatal outcomes for pregnancies affected by suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection.Prospective, web-based registry. Pregnant women were invited to participate if they had infection between 1st January 2020 and 31st March 2021 the impact of on maternal including miscarriage, stillbirth, fetal growth restriction, pre-term birth transmission infant.Between April 2021, study recruited 8239 participants who SARs-CoV-2 episodes in pregnancy 2021. Maternal death 14/8197 (0.2%)...
Background: SARS-CoV-2 has been responsible for extensive morbidity and mortality in Massachusetts, especially from 2021 to 2022. The true burden of infection is unknown as official reporting data during 2022 was not able capture subclinical/asymptomatic infections nor the results home-based lateral flow tests (LFTs). Aim: This study designed better characterize exposure Massachusetts residents SARS-CoV-2, understand demographic behavioral factors associated with highest years pandemic....
Hope has long been articulated as an intrinsic component of creative work, used to alleviate or justify the challenging precarity and narrow pathways success in this sector. Two key articulations hope have emerged: a deferred economy model which present hardship is endured down-payment on specific future benefits, however ultimately unlikely; more dispersed understanding hoped-for unspecified but affectively felt mobilising present. In article, we draw qualitative data from online survey...
Decreased bone density and stature can occur in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Little is known about how IBD broadly impacts the skeleton. To evaluate influence of an acute episode on growing bone, 4-wk-old mice were administered 5% dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) for 5 days to induce colitis their recovery was monitored. During active early recovery, trabecular mineral density, volume, thickness decreased. Cortical thickness, outer perimeter, also decreased, whereas...
In this paper we investigate the marketing portrayal and sponsorship experiences of professional women athletes. Specifically, examine perspectives footballers (i.e. soccer) ways in which gender ideal is reproduced, negotiated, resisted, as well their (re)imagined equitable sporting future. Using critical feminist narrative inquiry, twelve interviews were conducted with four footballers. Four themes constructed that call attention to: 1) lack commercial limits career growth; 2) performative...
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common hospital acquired infections. It colonizes immunocompromised patients and with number antibiotic resistant strains increasing, medicine needs new treatment options. Understanding more about proteins this organism uses would further goal. Hypothetical are sequences thought to encode a functional protein but for which little no evidence that function exists. About half genomic in reference strain S. NCTC 8325 hypothetical. Since annotation these...
Antibiotic resistance Staphylococcus aureus strains cause several life threatening infections. New drug treatment options are needed, but slow to develop because 50% of the S. genome is hypothetical. The goal this aid in annotation NCTC 8325 by identifying hypothetical proteins related Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS). MFS a broad protein group with members involved efflux mechanisms causing resistance. To do this, sequences for three x-ray crystal structures E. coli were PSI-BLASTed...
Abstract Laura Harris, President of Americans for Indian Opportunity (AIO), and one the facilitators Indigenous Wisdom People Forum (WOPF) held at 47th ISSS Conference, discusses why people participated in conference, development ILIS TM (the Leaders Interactive System, which is structured dialogue process used to conduct WOPF) forum itself. Native American Maori community members came conference be able share their Indigeneity on an international platform. emerging cluster concepts (see La...
Scientific advancement is hindered without proper genome annotation because biologists lack a complete understanding of cellular protein functions. In bacterial cells, hypothetical proteins (HPs) are open reading frames with unknown HPs result from either an outdated database or insufficient experimental evidence (i.e., indeterminate annotation). While automated reviews help keep up to date, often manual needed verify annotation. Students can provide the review necessary improve This paper...
Abstract The current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has placed unprecedented strain on underfunded public health resources in the Southeastern United States. Memphis, TN, metropolitan region lacked infrastructure for data exchange. This manuscript describes a multidisciplinary initiative to create community-focused COVID-19 registry, Memphis Pandemic Health Informatics System (MEMPHI-SYS) . MEMPHI-SYS leverages test result updated directly from community-based testing sites, as well...
Macrolide resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae infections have limited treatment options. While some resistance mechanisms are well established, ample understanding is by incomplete genome annotation (hypothetical genes). Some hypothetical genes encode a domain of unknown function (DUF), conserved protein with uncharacterized function. Here, we identify and confirm macrolide genes. We further explore DUFs from to prioritize them for experimental characterization. found gene similarities...
Critical Focus: Study of an Arts Centre is a 15-minute, two-channel film documenting the everyday life art gallery during exhibition installation period. It was made as part sociological investigation skilled but invisible labour in gallery, such that technicians. In addition to this focus on labour, focuses atmospheres different spaces and around ways they are produced by social actors. The accompanying essay introduces context which made, well theories informed it. These include atmosphere...
The air sustains, connects and conditions our lives has been of growing relevance to social scientists adopting an atmospheric approach life. Nonetheless, in screen studies, air's critical uptake so far limited narrative cinema, leaving it undertheorized non-fiction filmmaking. In this paper, I introduce theories the that flow from broader rise socio-aesthetic suggest is possible understand as agent relationship between a filmmaker their practice, film its viewers. To make argument, first...
Antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a major public health concern effecting millions of people annually. Medical science has documented completely untreatable S. infections. These strains are appearing in the community with increasing frequency. New diagnostic and therapeutic options needed to combat this deadly infection. Interestingly, around 50% proteins annotated as hypothetical. Methods select hypothetical related antibiotic resistance have been inadequate. This study uses...
