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.…”

Photodynamic bubble-generating microneedles for enhanced transdermal cancer therapy by Ning, Xiaoyu, Chen, Si, Yang, Yating, Hwang, Jangsun, Wiraja, Christian, Zhang, Chi, Liu, Wei, Liu, Linbo, Xu, Chenjie

“…The drug delivery efficiency of this platform is first evaluated ex vivo using fresh mouse skins and human keloid tissues. Later, in the tumor-bearing mouse model, the platform enhances the skin penetration of photosensitizers (i.e., methylene blue) and correspondingly improves the efficacy of photodynamic therapy.…”

Controls on eruption style at Rabaul, Papua New Guinea – insights from microlites, porosity and permeability measurements by Bernard, Olivier., Bouvet de Maisonneuve, Caroline

“…In comparison, MSDs in vulcanian and strombolian ballistic bombs and lava flow show a classic pattern of crystallization at a steady-state due to gradual magma ascent. We find that magma feeding sub-plinian eruptions ascends 2–3 orders of magnitude faster than magma feeding vulcanian/effusive eruptions (≥ 1–100 m/s vs 0.1 m/s). …”

Sexual selection predicts the persistence of populations within altered environments by Parrett, Jonathan M., Mann, Darren J., Chung, Arthur Y. C., Slade, Eleanor M., Knell, Robert J.

“…The effect of sexual selection on species persistence remains unclear. The cost of bearing ornaments or armaments might increase extinction risk, but sexual selection can also enhance the spread of beneficial alleles and increase the removal of deleterious alleles, potentially reducing extinction risk. …”
