Landless in God’s own country: development and perpetual struggles in Kerala by Ramapurath Chemmencheri, S

“…Illustrating seven different sectors from which livelihood expulsions are underway in the lives of landless Adivasis in Kerala, the thesis argues that their position in the local growth trajectory can be understood as an “in-between” one, wherein their wage labour is becoming less and less relevant to the local growth path, although they remain embedded in capitalist relations. Meanwhile, they have been dissuaded from turning into labourers in constant migration by virtue of welfare provisions and political mobilisation. …”

Short-wave infrared cavity resonances in a single GeSn nanowire by Kim, Youngmin, Assali, Simone, Joo, Hyo-Jun, Koelling, Sebastian, Chen, Melvina, Luo, Lu, Shi, Xuncheng, Burt, Daniel, Ikonic, Zoran, Nam, Donguk, Moutanabbir, Oussama

“…In contrast to impressive progress on light confinement and stimulated emission in III-V and II-VI semiconductor nanowires, there has been no experimental demonstration showing the potential to achieve strong cavity effects in a bottom-up grown single group-IV nanowire, which is a prerequisite for realizing silicon-compatible infrared nanolasers. …”

Mitofusins Mfn1 and Mfn2 are required to preserve glucose- but not incretin-stimulated β-cell connectivity and insulin secretion by Georgiadou, Eleni, Muralidharan, Charanya, Martinez, Michelle, Chabosseau, Pauline, Akalestou, Elina, Tomas, Alejandra, Yong, Fiona Su Wern, Stylianides, Theodoros, Wretlind, Asger, Legido-Quigley, Cristina, Jones, Ben, Lopez-Noriega, Livia, Xu, Yanwen, Gu, Guoqiang, Alsabeeh, Nour, Cruciani-Guglielmacci, Céline, Magnan, Christophe, Ibberson, Mark, Leclerc, Isabelle, Ali, Yusuf, Soleimanpour, Scott A., Linnemann, Amelia K., Rodriguez, Tristan A., Rutter, Guy A.

“…Whether mitofusin gene expression, and hence, mitochondrial network integrity, is important for glucose or incretin signaling has not previously been explored. Here, we generated mice with β-cell-selective, adult-restricted deletion knock-out (dKO) of the mitofusin genes Mfn1 and Mfn2 (βMfn1/2 dKO). βMfn1/2-dKO mice displayed elevated fed and fasted glycemia and a more than fivefold decrease in plasma insulin. …”
