Inherently vulnerable? Ethnic geography and the intensity of violence in the Bosnian civil war by Di Salvatore, J

“…Existing research on ethnic conflict focuses on regional configurations of ethnicity, thus neglecting how local vulnerable pockets of minorities may become primary targets for violence. The mechanism linking minority enclaves to more violence posits that the regional majority group will fight local minorities in order to (i) create ethnically homogeneous areas and (ii) remove potential support for the other group by the local minority. …”

Transforming CCTV cameras into NO 2 sensors at city scale for adaptive policymaking by Ibrahim, MR, Lyons, T

“…Air pollution in cities, especially NO2, is linked to numerous health problems, ranging from mortality to mental health challenges and attention deficits in children. …”

Strain-tuning of nematicity and superconductivity in single crystals of FeSe by Ghini, M, Bristow, M, Prentice, JCA, Sutherland, S, Sanna, S, Haghighirad, AA, Coldea, AI

“…Close to the critical temperature, all resistivity curves at constant strain cross in a single point, indicating a universal critical exponent linked to a strain-induced phase transition. Our results indicate that the superconducting state is enhanced under compressive strain and suppressed under tensile strain, in agreement with the trends observed in FeSe thin films and overdoped pnictides, whereas the nematic phase seems to be affected in the opposite way by the uniaxial strain. …”

Dynamics of classified forests in the urban district of Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso by Francoise, Valea, Karambiri, Bienvenue Lawankilea Chantal Noumpoa, Sanou, Korotimi

“…The results show that the agricultural production system, the cutting of wood for energy, pastoral practices, and water stress linked to rising temperatures have a negative impact on the development of peri-urban forests. …”

Prevalence of smartphone addiction and the impact on sleep quality among undergraduate students at School of Health Sciences, USM by Othman, Nurul Aina

“…Numerous studies have been done on sleep quality, but very few have linked it to smartphone addiction. A cross-sectional survey was carried out to study Prevalence of Smartphone Addiction and the Impact on Sleep Quality Among Undergraduate Students at School of Health Sciences, USM using a set of self-administered online questionnaire that adopted the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. …”

Enlightening of the low-dimensional high-TC superconductivity: bond contraction and electron dual polarization [低维高温超导的启示: 键收缩与电子双重极化] by Sun, Chang Qing

“…Second, atomic undercoordination of the O-Cu chains and the O-Cu planes shortens and stiffens the local O-Cu bond and lengthens and weakens the O:Cup nonbonding interactions associated with further enhancement of the Cup dipoles polarization, this process is the same as the O:H-O bond relaxation and polarization occurred to the skins of water and ice. Last, the electronphonon interaction is realized by the undercoordination-induced bond relaxation and the dual polarization by lone pairs and bond contraction. …”

The acquisition of English and Mandarin by a Singaporean child in a trilingual home by Teo, Jennifer Lay Heong.

“…Results indicate that: (1)the absence of tense and number markers in the English data was due to the variety of Singapore Colloquial English the child was exposed to in his environment; (2)the use of pragmatic particles and the lack of clear developmental pattern in the English interrogatives were linked to the Singapore Colloquial English usage in the input; (3)the English-language acquisition pattern shows a similar pattern as those in other comparable studies done in Singapore; (4)the order of the grammatical morphemes in the Mandarin data follows the similar pattern as other monolingual children reported on; (5)code-switching and code-mixing were directly affected by social factors: interlocutor, norm of the speech situation and his language dominance; (6)code-switching also occurs for many reasons related to language use; and (7)the child language development has been affected by the varying amount of input. …”
