Politics in films : a historical study on film censorship and the emergence on public spaces in Singapore by Tan, Lilian

“…Using censored films of both fiction and documentary genres as case studies, the next chapter historicise the following films through the recurring theme of political dynamism and a critical analysis of these films based on three aspects: 1) film portrayal of the state, 2) rationale behind the censorship decisions, and 3) the implication of the ban in the time of broadcast. The last chapter explores how public spaces have transformed censorship, and highlights the ineffectiveness of the censorship bans, and thus should be re-examined in light of new changing trends in public spheres. …”

Origins and immunopathogenesis of autoimmune central nervous system disorders by Ramanathan, S, Brilot, F, Irani, SR, Dale, RC

“…Fourth, we outline how advances in our understanding of the anatomy of lymphatic drainage and neuroimmune interfaces are challenging long-held notions of CNS immune privilege, with direct relevance to CNS autoimmunity, and how disruption of B cell and T cell tolerance and the passage of immune cells between the peripheral and intrathecal compartments have key roles in initiating disease activity. Last, we consider novel therapeutic approaches based on our knowledge of the immunopathogenesis of autoimmune CNS disorders.…”
