Autism narratives in Singapore by Ho, Melissa Yun Ling

“…Examining Singaporean autism narratives allows us insight into the ways in which dominant global discourses about autism are negotiated in local contexts; narratives are shaped by their socio-cultural contexts and examining those from Singapore, a globalised and multicultural, yet socially conservative city-state, enables us to understand the ways in which such multiple discourses come to bear upon individual narratives. Given that these narratives have, in turn, the potential to shape cultural discourses, and having shown through close literary analysis some effects of existing stereotypes and discourses, I argue for the urgency and importance of attending to narrative ethics in the production of autism narratives in Singapore.…”

Heteroatom-doped microporous carbon nanosheets derived from pentaerythritol-melamine for supercapacitors and CO₂ capture by Hu, Xiaochun, Luo, Yuqing, Wu, Xianyue, Niu, Jiabin, Tan, Mingwu, Sun, Zhiqiang, Liu, Wen

“…When used for CO2 capture, the HMCN synthesized by the pyrolysis of a 3:2 mixture of MEL and PER at 900 °C (3/2-HMCNs-900) affords a CO2 uptake of 5.35 mmol g−1 at 273 K and 1 bar CO2 partial pressure. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the high CO2 uptake performance of the HMCNs is associated with the chemical modification of the surface, as a result of N- and O- co-doping. …”
