The alienation of an individual in an absurd modernist world by How, Daphne Yan Ru

“…World War I changed the way people perceived the world and made them question the truth of reality as while it was popularly believed that the war is a justified and necessary one in bringing about stability and eventually establishing world peace, horrors of the war revealed otherwise and exposed the truth that instead of improving peoples’ lives as it promised to, the war disrupted their daily lives and millions of innocent people (many were civilians) were killed in the process as well, the aftermath of the war thus proved that nothing concrete or beneficial was achieved out of this power struggle. …”

Plasmodium knowlesi gene expression differs in ex vivo compared to in vitro blood-stage cultures by Lapp, Stacey A, Mok, Sachel, Zhu, Lei, Wu, Hao, Preiser, Peter R, Bozdech, Zbynek, Galinski, Mary R

“…Conclusions: This study demonstrates how gene expression in P. knowlesi blood-stage parasites can differ dramatically depending on whether the parasites are grown in vivo, with only one cycle of development ex vivo, or as an adapted isolate in long-term in vitro culture. These data bring emphasis to the importance of studying the parasite, its biology and disease manifestations in the context of the host.…”
