Summary: This paper examines the traditional Bamileke family estate as a specific type of housing and property structure in the community of Pete-Bandjoun in Cameroon. It suggests that these estates represent an important source of endogenous knowledge related to architecture and planning, and should be preserved despite widespread urbanization.

Summary: This article explores the role of digital social networking (SN) practices in the conflicts in central Mali, suggesting that these SNs can be seen as parallel media actors in the form of citizen journalism. The authors analyze the use of SNs by the organization KI, which reports on the conflicts in Mali. Their findings highlight the development of KI as citizen journalism, indicating a shift towards subjectivity and taking sides in the conflict. Their approach combines nethnography, offline observations, and interviews to understand the interaction and interpretations of the conflict.

Summary: This article discusses the importance of the English language in sociology and how certain theoretical currents influence epistemologies in national sociologies, particularly pointing out the emergence of intersectionality and standpoint theory from the historical context of Anglo-Saxon countries like the United States. It also reflects on the implications of politically correct, safe spaces, and cultural appropriation on American campuses.

Summary: The study found that leave of absences are common among anesthesiologists, and identified the need for a flexible and individualized return-to-work program to help improve confidence and skills. The results provide initial guidance in designing a user-centered RTW program for anesthesiologists in Alberta.

Summary: The main objective of this article is to highlight the significance of the trans-class itinerary in extreme contemporary autofictional literature, focusing on Emmanuelle Richard's fourth novel. The study of this neologism, coined by French philosopher Chantal Jaquet, provides a neutral perspective on population mobility and prompts us to contemplate the construction of inclusive, supportive, and sustainable societies. In this context, autofictional writing acts as a narrative technique that exposes pressing issues concerning modern societies, marking a shift in the aesthetic-literary paradigm.

Summary: This article investigates a sequence of pairs of cuspidal automorphic representations of a unitary Gan-Gross-Prasad pair (Un+1, U-n) over a number field, where Un is anisotropic. We assume that at some distinguished archimedean place, the pair stays away from the conductor dropping locus, while at every other place, the pair has bounded ramification and satisfies certain local conditions (particularly, temperedness). We prove that the subconvex bound L(pi x sigma, 1/2) << C(pi x sigma )(1/4-delta) holds for any fixed delta < 1/8n(5) + 28n(4) + 42n(3) + 36n(2) + 14n. The proof utilizes a refinement of the microlocal calculus for Lie group representations developed with A. Venkatesh and an observation of S. Marshall concerning the geometric side of the relative trace formula.

Summary: The study focuses on developing a tempered fractional-order modeling framework to address non-local interactions and intermittent signals in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Through optimization of model parameters and efficiency evaluation, the tempered fractional subgrid-scale model shows potential in meeting requirements and enhancing efficiency.

Summary: This study evaluated the anticancer effects of two 4-thiazolidinone-based derivatives on human cells in vitro, and found that both compounds exhibited cytotoxic effects on squamous cell carcinoma. The mechanism of action of Les-3266 might be mediated by interaction with the PPAR gamma receptor pathway.

Summary: This article critically assesses COP 27, the most recent Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC, by providing an overview of its outcomes on greenhouse gas mitigation, climate finance, adaptation, and loss and damage. It also analyzes future issues to be addressed by COP 28 and beyond, thereby updating the developments and contributing to global climate governance discussions.

Summary: A new family of turbulence models, LES-C, has been proposed, which reduces modeling error by treating an LES model as a defect solution and then correcting it on the same spatial mesh. In numerical tests, all LES-C models outperform their LES counterparts.

Summary: This study examines whether women's receptivity to algorithms is influenced by situations where they believe their gender identity may disadvantage them in the evaluation process. The findings show that women are more likely to choose algorithmic evaluations over evaluations by men, and this preference is driven by the perceived objectivity of algorithms.

Summary: The properties of the anion UN-, including its electronic structure and bond dissociation energy, were investigated through high-level calculations. The results matched well with experimental measurements and provided valuable insights into the stability and structure of UN-. The study also revealed differences in bond dissociation energy between UN- and its neutral and cation counterparts.

Summary: The study found that the use of trastuzumab during pregnancy may lead to oligohydramnios or anhydramnios and should be avoided if possible, with treatment postponed until after delivery. Most fetuses exposed to trastuzumab in the second and/or third trimester were born healthy, while those exclusively exposed in the first trimester had a higher health rate.
