What do you want to make? What to make of public library makerspaces: a look into the power of makerspaces in Singapore public libraries by Tan, Yi Lin

“…Ten years on, the desire by libraries to offer makerspaces shows no sign of letting up. In Singapore, in line with the Library and Archives Blueprint 2025 (LAB25), the National Library Board (NLB) opened their fourth MakeIT at Libraries at Punggol Regional Library in January 2023. …”

Empowerment through suicide in “The little mermaid” and “Giselle ou les wilis” by Wong, Angelene Suet Fong

“…The protagonists, namely, the little mermaid in Andersen’s text and Giselle in Gautier’s text, are presented in line with the “conventional romance formula of female sacrifice,” leaving much room to expand on their suicides as more than self-sacrifice, but as empowerment (de Armas Wilson 111). …”

Binding of TCR multimers and a TCR-like antibody with distinct fine-specificities is dependent on the surface density of HLA complexes by Low, Jianrong L., Gehring, Adam J., Kranz, David M., Grotenbreg, Gijsbert M., Yau, Yin Hoe, Shochat, Susana Geifman, Bertoletti, Antonio, Naidoo, Anneta, Yeo, Gladys, Ho, Zi Zong

“…Various protein scaffolds have been designed to recapitulate the specific recognition of presented antigens with the aim to be exploited both diagnostically (e.g. to visualize cells exposed to infectious agents or cellular transformation) and therapeutically (e.g. for the delivery of drugs to compromised cells). In line with this, we report the construction of a soluble tetrameric form of an αβ T cell receptor (TCR) specific for the HBV epitope Env183–191 restricted by HLA-A*02:01, and compare its avidity and fine-specificity with a TCR-like monoclonal antibody generated against the same HLA target. …”

Investigating the genetics and immunopathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis by Liu, F

“…This subset of monocytes exhibited a gene expression profile highly similar to a major population of CD14+ myeloid cells identified in AS synovial fluid (SF), strongly suggesting that T cell-induced myeloid cell activation occurs in vivo in inflamed joints. In line with this, PD1+IFN-γ+ T-cells were enriched in AS SF compared to blood. …”

Fabrication and biocompatibility evaluation of hydroxyapatite–polycaprolactone–gelatin composite nanofibers as a bone scaffold by Aminatun, None, Sujak M. K, Aisyah, Izak R, Djony, Hadi, Sofijan, Sari, Yessie Widia, Gunawarman, None, Cahyati, Nilam, Yusuf, Yusril, Che Abdullah, Che Azurahanim

“…The primary goals of this study are as follows: first, to evaluate hydroxyapatite (HA)/polycaprolactone (PCL)/gelatin nanofiber scaffolds based on functional groups, fibre diameter, porosity, and degradation rate; second, to investigate the interaction between HA/PCL/gelatin scaffolds and osteoblast cells (specifically, the ATCC 7F2 cell line) using in vitro assays, including cell viability and adhesion levels. …”

Embracing the PhD journey: From odyssey to jewels by Zuraina, Ali

“…Having worked for almost a year in the capital city of Malaysia; clocking in when the sun is rising and clocking out when the moon is ticking, I realised that I do not want to work in that condition for a long time. It seemed that my day was only for working and I went home just for sleeping. …”

Black hole singularity from OPE by Čeplak, Nejc, Liu, Hong, Parnachev, Andrei, Valach, Samuel

“…Eternal asymptotically AdS black holes are dual to thermofield double states in the boundary CFT. It has long been known that black hole singularities have certain signatures in boundary thermal two-point functions related to null geodesics bouncing off the singularities (bouncing geodesics). …”
