Decolonial Dreaming in the Sauútiverse by Nedine Moonsamy

“…Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki 2021, 2022, 2023) have established African SF as a global and popular genre in its own right. Mothersound: The Sauútiverse Anthology (2023), edited by Wole Talabi, is the most recent addition to this trend, but it also works to exceed it through a method of complex, shared worldbuilding which further exploits the decolonial potential of Africanfuturism. …”

Multiobjective Lightning Flash Algorithm Design and Its Convergence Analysis via Martingale Theory by Jiandong Duan, Jing Wang, Xinghua Liu, Gaoxi Xiao

“…Based on the martingale theory, the MOLFA convergence analysis is carried out in terms of the supermartingale convergence theorem, which shows that the MOLFA can reach the global optimum with probability one. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed MOLFA is verified by a numerical simulation example.…”

Economie dell'incertezza: festa, località, autonomia simbolica. Una nota by Francesco Faeta

“…This delineates autonomy, when not a real independence, of the symbolic components from the structural plane, their establishment as a fundamental element of economic and social organization (above all, but not only, with regard to tourism and to the relationship between local community and global reality). The case study focuses on an emblematic region of national underdevelopment, Calabria, but what is happening there is certainly significant to wider realities. …”

MIGRATIONS AS A CAUSE OF GENETIC HOMOGENEITY IN PACIFIC HERRING (CLUPEA PALLASII) FROM THE SEA OF OKHOTSK by V. V. Gorbachev

“…The lack of differentiation may be attributed to a constant gene flow between schools, while the proportion of migrants (Nm) can be calculated only indirectly. Global AMOVA for sample pairs or bulked samples shows that the intersample component comprises about 0,1–0,2 % of the total polymorphism (p > 0,1). …”
