Tobacco control in three North African countries: Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco by Radhouane Fakhfakh

“…In order to achieve these countries should prioritize resources for capacity building for strong FCTC compliant legislation, including strengthening the monitoring system of the MPOWER policies: a national surveillance system; communication campaigns; promoting and expanding the coverage of the smoking cessation care; actions to control advertisement, promotion, sponsorship, and smuggled cigarettes; and increasing tax. Conclusions Effective tobacco control should be implemented in Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. …”

The Effect of Conjugation with Octaarginine, a Cell-Penetrating Peptide on Antifungal Activity of Imidazoacridinone Derivative by Kamila Rząd, Ewa Paluszkiewicz, Damian Neubauer, Mateusz Olszewski, Katarzyna Kozłowska-Tylingo, Wojciech Kamysz, Iwona Gabriel

“…These conjugates are not so widely analysed in antimicrobial therapy, although bioactive peptides could be used as nanocarriers to smuggle antimicrobial compounds. An octaarginine conjugate of an imidazoacridinone derivative (Compound <b>1-R8</b>) synthetized by us exhibited high antifungal activity against reference and fluconazole-resistant clinical strains (MICs ≤ 4 μg mL⁻¹). …”

Degeneracies between self-interacting dark matter and supernova feedback as cusp-core transformation mechanisms by Burger, Jan D, Zavala, Jesús, Sales, Laura V, Vogelsberger, Mark, Marinacci, Federico, Torrey, Paul

“…Abstract We present a suite of 16 high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations of an isolated dwarf galaxy (gaseous and stellar disk plus a stellar bulge) within an initially cuspy dark matter (DM) halo, including self-interactions between the DM particles (SIDM); as well as stochastic star formation and subsequent supernova feedback (SNF), implemented using the stellar feedback model SMUGGLE. The simulations start from identical initial conditions and we regulate the strength of SIDM and SNF by systematically varying the SIDM momentum transfer cross-section and the gas density threshold for star formation. …”

Censorship of Foreign Publications in Lithuania of the Interwar Period by Arida Riaubienė

“…When performing the censorship of foreign publications, an important position was taken by the border police, especially that which protected the wall with Germany, through which many smuggled goods were carried. The censorship of foreign publications intensified in the year 1933, after the establishment of the State Security Department. …”

The antiquities market we deserve: 'Royal-Athena Galleries' (1942-2020) by Christos Tsirogiannis

“…This chapter reviews the illicit associations of one of these ‘prominent’ members of the international antiquities market, the ‘Royal-Athena Galleries’ in New York, a gallery run by the antiquities dealer Jerome Eisenberg, who has repeatedly been found selling looted, smuggled and stolen antiquities. I then present seven antiquities, most of them identified in October 2019, one in March 2020, soon before the retirement of Jerome Eisenberg and the closure of ‘Royal-Athena Galleries’ on October 31, 2020. …”

Socialization understood in a dynamic way by Todorović Milorad R.

“…Mastering the impulses involves the construction of a moral instance (super-ego) that differentiates and exists as a constant threat to the ego who tries to smuggle certain instinctive tendencies. Given that it is known, ever since Freud, that - from the standpoint of limiting the impulses, from the standpoint of morality - a man has a completely immoral part (instinctive, id); a part that is struggling to be moral (ego); and a super-ego that can be hyper-moral, and then become utterly cruel (Freud 2006a: 120), it can be observed that socialization is involved in the good part and in the bad part of a man. …”
