“…Over the last few years, there is an apparent growing concern amongst O&G trainees of the inadequacy in exposure to minimally invasive gynaecology surgical training, which has been inadvertently compounded by the more stringent working hour regulations and disproportionately increasing number of trainees relative to surgical volume. …”

As Camp as a Row of Pink Tents: Stephen’s Portrait of Mr W. S. by Samuel Slote

“…In the ‘Scylla and Charybdis’ episode of Ulysses, Stephen Dedalus presents a theory about Shakespeare’s biographical motivations for writing Hamlet, which he ultimately claims, perhaps disingenuously, to not believe. Stephen’s apparent disbelief in his own theory echoes Oscar Wilde’s ‘Portrait of Mr W. …”

NONCONVENTIONAL TECHNIQUE FOR PRODUCING HIGH MECHANICAL STRENGTH GLASS FOAM FROM GLASS WASTE by LUCIAN PAUNESCU, MARIUS FLORIN DRAGOESCU, SORIN MIRCEA AXINTE, ANA CASANDRA SEBE

“…By their physico-mechanical and morphological features (0.40-0.66 g/ cm3 the apparent density, 0.054-0113 W/ m·K the thermal conductivity, 2.2-6.3 MPa the compressive strength, below 1.2 % the water absorption and under 2 mm the pore size), the foams are appropriate for their use as replacer of existing similar building materials on the market. …”

Entrevue guidée avec Catherine Teiger Cailloux by Hélène David, Esther Cloutier

“…This account about decades of research work scans a large spectrum of often original research questions such as women’s work, attrition in the workplace, ageing in the workplace, and the differential morbidity and mortality between various manual labour categories, despite an apparent homogeneity of status. The interview ends with reflection on the current trends intersecting the discipline and on the practice of French ergonomics.…”

Checks and Balances: The Concept and Its Implications for Corruption by Luciano Da Ros, Matthew M. Taylor

“…We suggest that the apparent correlation between checks and balances and control of corruption is driven by a variety of conditions antecedent to both. …”

Does the COVID-19 XBB Omicron subvariant signal the beginning of the end of the pandemic? by Jinghao Nicholas Ngiam, Abdurrahmaan Al-Mubaarak, Sebastian Maurer-Stroh, Paul Anantharajah Tambyah

“…The XBB Omicron subvariant has demonstrated increased transmissibility through an apparent propensity for immune evasion. This is to be expected in the natural evolution of a virus in a population highly vaccinated with a vaccine targeting the spike protein of the original Wuhan strain of the virus. …”

Potential Applicability of Cocoa Pulp (Theobroma cacao L) as an Adjunct for Beer Production by Cassiane S. O. Nunes, Marília L. C. da Silva, Geany P. Camilloto, Bruna A. S. Machado, Katharine V. S. Hodel, Maria Gabriela B. Koblitz, Giovani B. M. Carvalho, Ana Paula T. Uetanabaro

“…The 30% cocoa pulp concentration as an adjunct for malt in the fermentation medium contributed the most to the fermentative performance of the yeasts at both 15 and 22°C based on the consumption of apparent extract (°Plato), ethanol production, and cellular growth.…”

DENSE GLASS FOAM PRODUCED IN MICROWAVE FIELD by LUCIAN PAUNESCU, MARIUS FLORIN DRAGOESCU, SORIN MIRCEA AXINTE, BOGDAN VALENTIN PAUNESCU

“…The high compressive strength (2.5 - 6.2 MPa) is the main mechanical feature of this product, which together with other physical and morphological features (apparent density 0.60 – 0.90 g/cm3, porosity 59.1 – 72.7%, thermal conductivity 0.081 – 0.105 W m K, water absorption 0.5 – 1.0%, pore size 0.5 – 3 mm), are appropriate for using as a substitute for similar building materials existing on the market. …”

Immune Privilege as an Intrinsic CNS Property: Astrocytes Protect the CNS against T-Cell-Mediated Neuroinflammation by Ulrike Gimsa, N. Avrion Mitchison, Monika C. Brunner-Weinzierl

“…They are also able to abrogate or reprogram T-cell responses by inducing apoptosis or secreting inhibitory mediators. We consider apparently contradictory functions of astrocytes in health and disease, particularly in their interaction with lymphocytes, which may either aggravate or suppress neuroinflammation.…”

Legal Framework for Russian Federation Leaving the Jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights by P. Yu. Ulturgashev

#RAINMUSTFALL – A THEOLOGICAL REFLECTION ON DROUGHT, THIRST, AND THE WATER OF LIFE by Nadia Marais

“…This paper argues that the theological rhetoric of water is embedded in soteriological imagination, which requires remembering – through the sacrament of baptism – the significance of the giving God who wills human and ecological flourishing.2 Moreover, it is argued that the good news of salvation brings rhetoric and ethics, doctrine and life, into a dynamic communicative process, so that water, as that which is freely given by God, has nothing less than abundant life or ecological and human flourishing as its apparent intended focus. …”

Matérialités instables, Temporalités complexes. Stimulantes schizophrénies numériques by Emmanuel Doutriaux

“…“If with this environment you save time, you also give more time - confide the architects”. This apparent gap is questioned here. When, on the one hand, by being subject to upstream information, the project would tend to desert its floating cosa mentale nature in order to switch very quickly to trivial formalizations - from another point of view, the increase in data and the interoperability of formats would allow, by engaging the project in the field of infinite simulations, to delay any objective stability. …”

Les élections législatives en Côte d’Ivoire marquent-elles la sortie de crise ? by Christian Bouquet, Irène Kassi-Djodjo

“…As general elections were organised just eight months after the end of the violent post-election crisis that almost led to a civil war in the country, Ivory Coast risked reviving hostilities. Apparently voters got tired of unrest and violence and this new election did not fascinate the people of the Ivory Coast, especially since the previous head of state's party chose not to take part in the vote. …”

Understanding the residual nature of the freedom to provide services: Delineating the scope of application by Savković Vladimir

“…Freedom to provide services is specific in relation to rest of the fundamental freedoms of the European Union (EU) internal market in a way that, save for certain specific situations, it applies to cross-border activities of a commercial nature only in situations in which (provisions regulating) other freedoms are not applicable. Apparently, this so-called "residual nature" of the freedom to provide services makes understanding the borderlines between free provision of services and the rest of fundamental freedoms of the EU internal market even more important, since it causes additional need for establishing such difference in various situations. …”
