Funding, inequalities, and access: An amalgam of challenges in South African higher education by Simangele Constance Cele, Samson Adeoluwa Adewumi

“…The recommendations on the challenges are presented by addressing the problem of funding, inequalities, and access to higher education such as expanding access to higher education (e.g. expanding access through online learning platforms), implementing affirmative action policies (e.g. increase students enrolment from the disadvantaged communities), increasing public funding, generating third-stream income funds, provision of scholarships and bursaries, corporate sponsorship, and students’ agency.…”

Evaluating the Behavior of Embankments after Widening considering Soil Consolidation and Splicing Mode by Xiaobo Xing, Zhenhao Bao, Wei Li

“…The dynamic response of existing embankments soil under the action of rammer is systematically evaluated. The results show that, with the increase of consolidation time, the differential settlement is gradually obvious at the junction of the new and existing embankments, and there is a possibility of landslide along the junction of new embankments, which should be dealt with in engineering. …”

« Ce n’est pas ce que j’ai vu, ce n’est pas ce que j’ai pensé»  by Lindsey Dodd

“…Norquay (1999) writes that forgetting is “an active process which can involve denial, refusal, discrediting, silencing, omitting”; this article shows the generative power of feeling forgotten, denied, refused, discredited, silenced or omitted, to inspire action which challenges hegemonic discourse. Central to its argument is a call to attend to what feelings do within societies. …”

Aromatic Amines Exert Contrasting Effects on the Anticoagulant Effect of Acetaldehyde upon APTT by La'Teese Hall, Sarah J. Murrey, Arthur S. Brecher

“…Premixtures of procaine with acetaldehyde produce an additive anticoagulant effect on activated partial thromboplastin time, suggesting independent action of these compounds upon clotting factors. Premixtures of amphetamine with acetaldehyde, as well as atenolol with acetaldehyde, generate a detoxication of the anticoagulant effect of acetaldehyde upon activated partial thromboplastin time. …”
