From Shi`a to White: Race and Colonialism in Kamel Murouwwa’s Nahnu fi Ifriqiya by Dahlia El Zein

“…This article argues that through the process of racial identity formation in West Africa, Lebanese Shi’is were able to transcend emerging sectarian identities prevalent in newly carved Lebanon which marked Shi’is as “metwali” (backward). Lebanese migrants’ “whiteness” became the most pronounced marker of their presence amongst local Africans, overshadowing religious identity and erasing any “backwardness” associated with Shi’is in Lebanon, elevating the community to the class of colonizer vs. colonized. …”

Polyoxometalate-based injectable coacervate inhibits HCC metastasis after incomplete radiofrequency ablation via scavenging ROS by Meilin Yang, Die Liu, Yan Tan, Jieting Chen, Fan Yang, Chaoming Mei, Qi Zeng, Yong Lin, Dan Li

“…To overcome this limitation, we synthesized an injectable POM-loaded coacervate delivery system named POM@Coa, which can sustainably scavenge iRFA-induced ROS by slowly releasing POM. POM@Coa markedly reduced HCC invasiveness, reversed macrophage polarization from M2 to M1, and promoted the infiltration and activation of CD8+ T cells, ultimately inhibiting HCC metastasis. …”

On the Fine-Scale Topography Regulating Changes in Atmospheric Hydrological Cycle and Extreme Rainfall over West Africa in a Regional Climate Model Projections by M. B. Sylla, A. T. Gaye, G. S. Jenkins

“…The results show that while ECHAM5 projects wetter climate along the Gulf of Guinea and drier conditions along the Sahel, RegCM3 produces contrasting changes for low-elevation (negative) and high-elevation (positive) terrains more marked during the second period. These wetter conditions in the uplands result from an intensification of the atmospheric hydrological cycle arising as a consequence of more frequent and denser rainy days and leading to larger intensity and more extreme events. …”
