Unravelling Mortality in Enslavement. Patterns and Determinants of Mortality Among the Enslaved Population of Curaçao, 1839–1963 by Wieke Elien Metzlar, Nadeche Diepgrond

“…During the 19th century, enslaved populations in Latin America and the Caribbean were characterized by an excess of deaths, indicating the harsh living conditions they were forced to live in. The island of Curaçao — at that time a Dutch colony — however, has formed an exception to this trend, as the enslaved population was characterized by natural increase. …”

Joint Optimization Design of UAV-Active RIS System Based on a Quadratic Transformation by Yi Peng, Haolin Li, Qingqing Yang

“…The additive noise in the objective function makes its fractional form highly complex. To solve the nonconvex fractional programming problem with highly coupled multiple variables, the objective function is split into three sub-problems: the transmit power allocation of the base station, the phase shift of active RIS, and the trajectory optimization of the UAV. …”

Visualization of Observational Learning and Peer Influence on Plastic Waste Diversity in the Campus Environment Using ArcGIS by Nüket Sivri, Atilla Aydoğdu, Vildan Zülal Sönmez, Ceyhun Akarsu

“…Indeed, certain relationships and interactions related to the disposal of waste into the natural environment instead of proper waste collection points have spread like a virus and led to the formation of behavioral patterns. This study is based on the fundamental premise of the impact of "observational learning'," a social-cognitive approach and "peer influence" on the variety of meso/macro plastic unknowingly left on campus area and visualizing the distribution of plastic pollution in this environment. …”

Highly Sensitive Immunosensing of Carcinoembryonic Antigen Based on Gold Nanoparticles Dotted PB@PANI Core-Shell Nanocubes as a Signal Probe by Dexiang Feng, Lingzhi Chen, Ke Zhang, Shuangshuang Zhu, Meichen Ying, Peng Jiang, Menglan Fu, Yan Wei, Lihua Li

“…Importantly, to further enhance the electrical conductivity and biocompatibility of PB@PANI and to further enhance the electrochemical signal and capture a large amount of Ab2, Au NPs were doped on the surface of PB@PANI to form Au NPs/PB@PANI nanocomposites. Subsequently, benefiting from the advantages of core-shell structure nanoprobes and gold-platinum bimetallic nanoflower (AuPt NF), a sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor for CEA detection was constructed, which provided a wide linear detection range from 1.0 pg·mL−1 to 100.0 ng·mL−1 and a low detection limit of 0.35 pg·mL−1 via DPV (at 3σ). …”

The black female body: Representation of the erotic in contemporary visual art in Africa by Tayler FRIAR

“…Through the examination of the work of two prominent artists — Tracey Rose and Lady Skollie of South Africa — the author synthesizes various representations of the erotic, coupled with how it engages with issues of history and reappropriation of the black female form. Using Baartman as a guiding symbol, this article will argue that contrary to its previous confinements as an overly policed trope, the black female body is charged with an artistic power that explodes, leaks, and subverts the historical narrative, making it a constantly evolving archetype in contemporary visual art.…”
