Tumours and cancers in Graeco-Roman times by Francois P. Retief, Louise Cilliers

“… In Graeco-Roman times all tumours (Greek: onkoi, abnormal swellings) were considered to be of inflammatory origin, the result of unfavourable humoural fluxes, and caused by an extravascular outpouring of fluid into tissue spaces.

Precarity as Resistance and Cultural Solidarity by Abdul Aziz Hafiz

“…Through the conscientisation of prospective graduates towards a ‘being-with-the-world’ and the associated mental habits and bodily practices that focus on the principles of a Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE), solidarity, reciprocity and sustainability, as a response to precarity, is possible by creating local solidarity-based associational spaces for critical education and praxis, we advocate for critical pedagogical practices alongside more opportunities for collective action that engender solidarity, reciprocity and sustainability in graduates’ bodily practices and modes of thinking and being, through a critical pedagogy that facilitates cultural action for freedom, self-help and collective forms of social provisioning of biological and social needs: housing, food, energy production, social caring and welfare needs in general. …”

Toward an Architecture of Dissensus: Participatory Urbanism in South-East Asia by Camillo Boano, Emily Kelling

“…A critical reflection of the Thai programme Baan Mankong (secure housing) and its regional counterpart Asian Coalition for Community Action (ACCA) – an entity aimed at creating an alternative development process in which people that were previously ignored and marginalized are engaged at the centre of a process of transforming their lives, spaces and position in the city – sheds light on such relationship in order to promote a re-conceptualisation of the role of architecture and design in the process of socially just urban development, participatory urbanism and the struggle for democracy.…”

Film Cooling Effectiveness Data for Simple Injection Geometries: A Collection of Three-Axis Plots by L. D. Stone, R. J. Goldstein

“…By plotting data from several film cooling studies conducted at the University of Minnesota, the dominant roles played by density ratio, hole spacing, and surface curvature become apparent. It is also seen that a slot-plate prediction/correlation from two-dimensional film cooling studies makes an excellent standard of comparison for all film cooling studies, even though the more commonly encountered (two-axis) comparisons using standardized nondimensional parameters do not usually suggest this.…”
