AbstractThis paper investigates the risk presumably involved in narratives of non-Western international relations theory (IRT) by focusing on a similar historical case Japan. It reveals uncritically accepted geographical division, and particularly focuses discourses Kyoto School's world history as an example past, which was to 'overcome' Western civilization contemporary IRT. However, they are also infamous for providing justification wartime regime Japan their aggression Asian continent....

Abstract Difference, a central concern to the study of international relations (IR), has not had its ontological foundations adequately disrupted. This forum explores how existential assumptions rooted in relational logics provide significantly distinct set tools that drive us re-orient we perceive, interpret, and engage both similarity difference. Taking their cues from cosmological commitments originating Andes, South Asia, East Middle East, six contributions explore our affect ways which...

Understanding how genetic variability shapes responses to environmental and developmental factors is critical for advancing translational neuroscience. However, most preclinical studies rely on inbred mouse strains that do not capture the complexity of human populations. One key area research focuses identifying neural behavioral consequences early life trauma. Rodent models childhood neglect, such as maternal separation with weaning (MSEW), have been used in isogenic like C57BL/6J (B6)...

The red coloration of the mango 'Irwin' skin is an important factor determining its value in Japanese domestic luxury fruit market. In present study, to investigate molecular mechanism underlying anthocyanin biosynthesis skin, UFGT-like genes were isolated and expression profile anthocyanin-related was determined. Several identified transcriptome data two genes, MiUFGT1 MiUFGT3, considered be involved coloration. Deduced amino acid sequences these exhibited high similarity other plant UFGTs...

Informed critical international relations literature on of statecraft Foucauldian conceptions power as productive discursive, we suggest that aforementioned 'margins' are sites central to constitution,...

Tumor growth depends on angiogenesis, a process by which new blood vessel are formed from pre-existing normal vessels. Proteolytic fragments of plasminogen, containing varying numbers plasminogen kringle domains, collectively known as angiostatin, naturally occurring inhibitor angiogenesis and inhibit tumor growth. We have developed an "affinity-capture reactor" that enables single-step method for the production/purification angiostatin-like fragment human plasma using immobilized bacterial...

Background/Aim: Some patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) develop early or late recurrence after surgery. However, there is no clear consensus on which postoperative RCC should be treated. This study aimed to establish a biomarker for selecting who are at higher risk of relapse following cancer Patients and Methods: A total 378 underwent nephrectomy partial diagnosis our hospital were included, focus pT3 cases high recurrence. Factors associated progression, including pathological...

In this study, we aimed to identify the utility of pruned mango (Mangifera indica ‘Irwin’) leaves as a resource for ingredients with antioxidant activity. Firstly, examined activity extracts obtained from pericarps, flesh, flowers, barks, seeds, young dark reddish brown (YDL-ext), yellow (YYL-ext), and old green (OML-ext) ‘Irwin’ mango. Among them, methanolic extract flower OML-ext showed most potent 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical...

Liberal democracies often include rights of participation, guarantees protection, and policies that privilege model citizens within a bounded territory. Notwithstanding claims universal equality for “humanity,” they achieve these goals by epistemically elevating certain traits identity above “others,” sustaining colonial biases continue to favor whoever is regarded more “human.” The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated fault lines, unveiling once the often-hidden prevalence inequalities are...
