Racial Residential Segregation And Covid-19 Mortality, Suresh Nath Neupane
Geosciences Theses
Studies have shown that the social and physical environments are strong predictors of the health of the urban population. This study investigates if racial residential segregation has any impact on the poor health outcome of residents in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The hierarchical logistic regression conducted to investigate the association between race and residential segregation with COVID-19 mortality showed that a one unit increase in segregation is associated with a 1 % increase in mortality. Furthermore, people from Black and Asian ethnic communities were more …

Manganese (Mn) is an essential metal with a biphasic relationship with health outcomes. High-level exposure to Mn is associated with manganism, but few data explore the effects of chronic, lower-level Mn on cognitive function in adults. We sought to determine the relationship between blood/urinary manganese levels and cognitive function in elderly individuals using 2011–2014 data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Weighted multivariate regression models were used to determine correlations, adjusting for several covariates. Blood Mn was inversely associated with the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease (CERAD) immediate learning of new verbal information (p-value …

Journal of International Women's Studies
This in-depth conversation with Jennifer Christine Nash, the Jean Fox O’Barr Professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University, USA, aims to illuminate the complexities of intersectionality in feminist discourse. This interview focuses on Nash’s work and perspectives on intersectionality in relation to gender, class, race, sexuality, and hierarchies of power and privilege. This interview discusses precarity, vulnerability, and intersectionality in black feminist discourse, as well as the marginalisation of black women’s heterogeneity, the politics of reading associated with intersectionality, and the relationship between temporality and intersectionality. Additionally, this conversation discusses Nash’s monograph, Black Feminism Reimagined (2019), post-intersectionality …
