This paper examines the phenomenon of digital persecution in the Global South and evaluates Functional tools that defend against it.First, the paper explains the nature of persecution and its digital incarnation.It then provides a contextual overview of real-world instances of digital persecution in seven Global South countries.The possible defensi
Permafrost Microbial Community Structure Changes Across the Pleistocene-Holocene Boundary
Despite the presence of well-documented changes in vegetation and faunal communities at the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, it is unclear whether similar shifts occurred in soil microbes.Recent studies do not show a clear connection between soil parameters and community structure, suggesting permafrost microbiome-climate studies may be unreliable.
Contesting moralities: the politics of wildlife trade in Laos
This article examines the intricacy within stylized debates that surround conservation and the regulation of wildlife trade in Southeast Asia.Illegal and unregulated trade in wildlife has been characterized by conservation groups as a great risk for wildlife worldwide and the prime threat for remaining wildlife populations in Laos.The Convention on
Very High-Energy Emission from the Direct Vicinity of Rapidly Rotating Black Holes
When a black hole Accessories - Headwear accretes plasmas at very low accretion rate, an advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF) is formed.In an ADAF, relativistic electrons emit soft gamma-rays via Bremsstrahlung.Some MeV photons collide with each other to materialize as electron-positron pairs in the magnetosphere.Such pairs efficiently screen
Stigma as a Barrier to Participant Recruitment of Minority Populations in Diabetes Research: Development of a Community-Centered Recruitment Approach
BackgroundThe development of evidence-based care geared towards Black and Latina women living with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes is contingent upon their active recruitment into clinical interventions.Well-documented impediments to recruitment include a historical mistrust of the research community and socioeconomic factors that limit awareness and
