kreoling sisters: (un)intimate relationships, child marriages and women spirits by Gitan Djeli

“…‘kreoling sisters’ unearths a personal story that touches on the (un)intimacy or unofficialised intimacy between Black mothers and men of Indian descent and their Black-Indo/Kreol children. The aim is to discuss the entanglement between freedom, intimacy, slavery, antiblackness and indenture and disrupt the official, institutional, colonial and patriarchal narratives. …”

Imperialism, immigration and identity : deterministic and symbolic violence in the southeast Asian American novel. by He, Tanya Siying.

“…Early anthologies and critiques tend to privilege writers from Chinese, Japanese and Filipino Asian groups, and with the most recent wave of Asian migrants of Southeast Asian descent, there is a need for a renewed interest in Southeast Asian-American literature so as to modernise and refine perspectives on Asian diasporas, transnationalism, immigration and assimilation, cultural, social and economic alienation, as well as marginalization and the western gaze.…”

Kimura’s disease with atypical musculoskeletal presentation by Zulkifly, Ahmad Hafiz, Aziz, Yusuf, Ismail , Rosmaliza, N., Premchandran, Ramachandran, Kalavathy

“…We would like to highlight an unusual clinical presentation of Kimura’s disease, a rare, benign, idiopathic condition, usually seen as swelling and lesions of the head and neck region and commonly affecting young men of Asian descent. It is rare for this disorder to present with lesions on other parts of the body, especially the lower limbs. …”

The Latin Life of Gruffudd ap Cynan, British kingdoms and the Scandinavian past by Winkler, E

“…It argues that the Vita’s portrayal of dynasty and dynastic conflict, set on the great stage of the North Sea zone, seeks to establish the legitimacy of a ruler who was both an outsider and of Scandinavian descent. The reality of invasion and conquest in the British Isles demanded new Latin histories wherein Scandinavian dynasties could be a key source of legitimacy, and the Vita needs to be read as part of this larger discourse.…”

Linkage disequilibrium on the bovine X chromosome: characterization and use in quantitative trait locus mapping by Sandor, C, Farnir, F, Hansoul, S, Coppieters, W, Meuwissen, T, Georges, M

“…We describe and characterize a novel Markovian approach to exploit this linkage disequilibrium to compute the probability that two chromosomes are identical-by-descent conditional on flanking marker data. We use the ensuing probabilities in a restricted maximum-likelihood approach to search for quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting 48 traits of importance to the dairy industry and provide evidence for the presence of QTL affecting 5 of these traits on the bovine X chromosome.…”

Concluding remarks: what's in a name? "Negritos" in the context of the human prehistory of Southeast Asia by Ulijaszek, S

“…The "negrito" hypothesis posits that various indigenous groups throughout Island and Mainland Southeast Asia have a shared phenotype due to common descent from a putative ancestral population, representing a pre-agricultural substrate of humanity in the region. …”

Genealogical obscurement: mitochondrial replacement techniques and genealogical research by Palacios-González, C

“…In a recent publication Françoise Baylis argued that MRTs are detrimental for genealogical research via mitochondrial DNA because they would obscure the lines of individual descent. In this paper, I argue that MRTs do not obscure genealogical research, but rather that MRT-conceived children can have two mitochondrial lineages. …”

Sequential Monte Carlo Methods to Train Neural Network Models by Freitas, D, Nando, Niranjan, M, Gee, A, Doucet, A

“…We discuss a novel strategy for training neural networks using sequential Monte Carlo algorithms and propose a new hybrid gradient descent / sampling importance resampling algorithm (HySIR). …”

Electrical properties of ions in the atmosphere of Titan by Owen, N, Aplin, K, Stevens, P

“…The Permittivity, Wave and Altimetry (PWA) package on the Huygens probe measured atmospheric electrical activity during its 14 January 2005 descent into Titan's atmosphere. Electrical mobilities of positive ions have been estimated using a combination of predictions of mass from the available chemical models, and the atmospheric properties measured by Huygens. …”

Rgs 2 gene polymorphisms as modulators of anxiety in humans? by Leygraf, A, Hohoff, C, Freitag, C, Willis-Owen, SA, Krakowitzky, P, Fritze, J, Franke, P, Bandelow, B, Fimmers, R, Flint, J, Deckert, J

“…Therefore we investigated four non-coding single nucleotide polymorphisms in a sample of 173 patients with panic disorder and 173 matched controls of German descent. At the genotype level all four SNPs were associated with panic disorder (p = 0.02-0.05). …”
