De la crainte de la damnation éternelle aux prémisses de l’angoisse existentielle contemporaine : inquiétudes sotériologiques et eschatologiques chez William Hale White (« Mark Rut... by Jean-Michel Yvard

“…Although man’s survival as an individual was more and more often put into question, it remained possible to believe in an endless improvement of human societies and the world in general. Gradually, however, the fear of a final degeneration of our world began to be induced by scientific knowledge itself, particularly by discoveries in the field of thermodynamics, which predicted the extinction of the sun as well as the thermal death of the universe.To what extent did traditional uncertainties concerning man’s salvation increase in this context? …”

Frugal method for extracting DNA from saliva suitable for low-budget labs and usable in PCR assays by Kamar Shayah, Joseph Shenekji, Lana Karnoub, Sana Wohbeh, Hagar Hamsho

“…The suggested frugal method relies on providing a new solution for extracting DNA from human saliva without the need for enzymes or high grade reagents or columns, which makes suitable for low budget laboratories in developing countries to manufacture it locally, it uses a phase separation with technical skills to extract the DNA from the saliva achieving safety by not using hazardous reagents, and it is a sustainable eco-friendly method that gives decent yield of good quality DNA in ~20 minutes to be used in PCR applications with a cost that is estimated to be 10 times cheaper than current used methods.…”
