We report the complete genome and plasmid (F′ episome) sequences of Escherichia coli JM101 assembled with a combination Nanopore Illumina data. The resulting is single contig 4,524,963 bp, consists 197,186 bp.
Disease management following hospital discharge is difficult in most low-resourced areas, posing a major obstacle to health equity. Although mobile phones are ubiquitous and promising technology facilitate healthcare access, few studies have tested the acceptability feasibility of patients themselves using devices for assisting linkages services. We hypothesized that would use help manage postdischarge problems, if given communication protocol. developed phone-based program investigated its...
Abstract The Hacienda El Progreso functioned as an important Ecuadorian agro-industrial enterprise in the late nineteenth century. Operating out of San Cristóbal Island Galápagos archipelago, plantation exported refined sugar, coffee, cattle products, and other goods to national international markets. From its beginnings 1860s, established first permanent human settlement on island, long after demise 1930s, it continues exert influence local culture. Contemporary communities are shaping...
Islands have often been used to exile political prisoners, migrants, criminals, mentally ill individuals, and others deemed unworthy. Yet the remoteness that made islands ideal prison sites is today exploited develop nature-based ecotourism (NBET). Given 'prison paradise' phenomenon previously undocumented in literature, this paper explores three descriptive cases Global South: Ecuador (Galápagos Islands), Panamá (Coiba Island), Colombia (Gorgona Island).

Transportation to remote islands has been a way that authorities have dealt with criminals since well before the birth of modern state. What happens those exiles once on varied greatly in different times and places. This paper explores Galápagos plantation run from 1878 1904 by Manuel J. Cobos. His operation demonstrates patriarchal concept hacienda continued play key role disciplining perceived criminality Latin America late 19th century, outside roles military, police, penal institutions....
Native, endemic, and introduced vascular plants from the Galápagos Islands were processed for phytolith extraction. Modern plant specimens of 43 species collected in field considering possible uses these during first years colonization San Cristóbal Island, (1860s). This comparative illustrated catalog is limited to test production phytoliths useful native, taxa. The results provided main elements discriminate morphotypes native Cristóbal. will guide future paleoethnobotanical research other...
Phytoliths analysis was applied to identify the fuel compound used at steam-powered sugar mill of El Progreso plantation during late nineteenth century. The microfossil record shows that a combination native wood taxa and introduced grasses San Cristóbal Island in 1870s. rapid extraction protocol appears as an alternative for phytoliths remote places where equipment resources are limited. This paper suggests is suitable proxy diagnostic morphotypes rich-ash samples from archaeological sites.
