Anthropology 248

The history of colonialism in the American West is not just the story of how European people, animals, and technologies invaded Indigenous worlds but also of how these things were engaged, redeployed, countered, rejected, and, in some cases, embraced by native communities. In this paper, I look beyond the horses, guns, germs, and steel that have dominated materialist analyses of the colonial encounter to consider the circulation of images—or more precisely, the circulation of new understandings of what images are and how they function. My focus is on the “Biographic Tradition,” an …

Additive Effects Of N-Acetylcysteine And [R4W4] Combination Treatment On Mycobacterium Avium, Kayvan Sasaninia, Iffat Hasnin Era, Nezam Newman, Jesse Melendez, Wajiha Akif, Eashan Sharma, Omid Nikjeh, Ira Glassman, Cristián Jiménez, Navya Sharma, Ama Xu, Maria Lambros, Miou Zhou, Rakesh Tiwari, Vishwanath Venketaraman

Mycobacterium avium is an opportunistic pathogen and a leading contributor to nontuberculous mycobacterial infections in immunocompromised individuals. However, treatment duration, antibiotic toxicity, and resistance present challenges in the management of mycobacterium infections, prompting the need for novel treatment. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has demonstrated potent antimycobacterial activity, while antimicrobial peptides such as the cyclic [R₄W₄] have shown additive effects when combined with first-line antibiotics. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism and efficacy of NAC and [R₄W₄] combination therapy against M. avium. A membrane depolarization assay was used to evaluate the effects of …

Leptin, a hormone primarily secreted by adipocytes, regulates energy balance and systemic metabolism through its interaction with the leptin receptor (LEPR). Beyond these functions, leptin signaling has been implicated in the pathogenesis of tissue fibrosis. Here, we report the x-ray crystal structures of a leptin-neutralizing antibody (hLep3) in the unbound and leptin-bound states. The interaction of this antibody with leptin mimics the interaction of the LEPR with leptin, providing direct insights into the mechanism by which the antibody disrupts leptin signaling. We furthermore evaluate the therapeutic potential of neutralizing leptin with this antibody across distinct mouse models of fibrosis affecting …

Previous studies have suggested that alterations in white matter (WM) microstructure are implicated in suicidal thoughts and behaviours (STBs). However, findings of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies have been inconsistent. In this large-scale mega-analysis conducted by the ENIGMA Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviours (ENIGMA-STB) consortium, we examined WM alterations associated with STBs. Data processing was standardised across sites, and resulting WM microstructure measures (fractional anisotropy (FA), axial diffusivity (AD), mean diffusivity and radial diffusivity) for 24 WM tracts and one global measure were pooled across 40 cohorts. We compared these measures among individuals with a psychiatric diagnosis and lifetime history of …

Design Of Future Scholarly Communication, Michael J. Salvo, John T. Sherrill

Michigan Tech Publications

This experience report documents the evolving practices of scholarly communication in the age of artificial intelligence while publishing an open-access peer-reviewed book. Drawing on experiences from 2023–2025, it explores open-access, print-on-demand publishing, collaborative authorship, and ethical integration of AI tools in academic workflows. Anchored by our work with the WAC Clearinghouse, we highlight how infrastructure, metadata, and peer review shape practices of scholarly production and assessment. We frame literacy not as a fixed competency but as an evolving set of practices shaped by technologies and platforms. Through a mix of analysis, publishing, and reflective design, we argue that scholarly communication …

Diabetes-Related Stigma, Hemoglobin A1c, And Psychological And Behavioral Outcomes Among Adults With Type 2 Diabetes In Ghana: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach, Samuel Akyirem

Sigma Foundation for Nursing Research Grant Reports

The findings from this grant-funded study have established a strong foundation for future research on the psychosocial aspects of diabetes care in low- and middle-income countries. Specifically, the project has generated preliminary evidence supporting the mediating role of psychological outcomes in the relationship between diabetes-related stigma and glycemic control. These results will inform the design of future longitudinal and intervention studies aimed at reducing stigma and improving mental health among people with diabetes in Ghana and across Africa.

Personal Cultural Memory As Part Of Life Stories: Insights From Biographical Research On Japanese Canadian And Japanese American Wartime Experiences, Maria Wacławik

The Qualitative Report

The study focuses on the experiences of these communities during World War II, when they were displaced and incarcerated following the attack on Pearl Harbor. In the face of such traumatic events, the challenge arises in how individuals convey memories when words alone may not suffice. The main objective of this research was to determine, based on autobiographical narratives, the links between the memory of wartime experiences of Japanese Americans and Japanese Canadians and their ethnic identity. I do not analyze entire collections of mediated memories stored by narrators, but only those that were introduced during the interview as part …

Three Generations Under One Roof?: A Study Of Interhousehold Transfers Among Sandwich Generation In Indonesia, Vianey Weda Rahesti, I Dewa Gede Karma Wisana

Jurnal Ekonomi dan Studi Pembangunan

Empirical studies show some negative effects that arise in sandwich generation households. Even the negative impact of the sandwich generation raises the behavior that they want to leave the house. However, the empirical studies only measure sandwich generation if the parents live in the households, so it is necessary to recalculate sandwich generation households in Indonesia through an interhousehold transfer mechanism. This study examines interhousehold transfer differences among sandwich-generation households between parents, siblings, and others in Indonesia. Using the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2014, this study found that 4.539 or 28,6 percent of households are classified as the sandwich …

Money Demand Stability With Endogenous Structural Breaks And The Role Of Payment System Innovation In Indonesia, Wishnu Badrawani

Jurnal Ekonomi dan Studi Pembangunan

This study examines the stability of the demand for money function in Indonesia using quarterly data from 2007 to 2021, employing Gregory-Hansen's (1996) cointegration test and Hendry's general-to-specific approaches. The cointegration and error correction models show a causal relationship between money demand and its conventional determinants and payment system innovation. Considering the central bank policy that part of economic reforms captured by the structural break in the cointegration test and the stability test results of the short-run analysis, we confirm the stable narrow money and currency demand and its dynamics in Indonesia. The Gregory and Hansen test found a cointegrating …

Journal of Sustainable Mining

This study aimed to evaluate rock fragmentation risk indexes and develop a predictive model for the median size of fragment (X₅₀) using the Rock Engineering System (RES). The methodology includes the analysis of 15 significant parameters of rock properties and blast design, which are considered to be important to rock fragmentation from 30 selected blast sites. These parameters include rock type, hardness, blast-hole diameter, charge weight, blast pattern, and others that control fragmentation results.
