Summary: Jotirao Phule aimed to connect the marginalized sudradi-atisudras of his time with a distant past, using concrete evidence from peasant oral traditions. His intention was to reshape the perception of the past and forge a new future, influenced by his experience of print literacy. Phule's relationship with the past was complex, involving both a rejection of the brahmanical past and a reclamation of the forgotten past of Bali. This article discusses the restoration of the unacknowledged past in Phule's attempt to improve the lives of sudradi-atisudras in the present.

Summary: G-quadruplexes play important roles in genome stability and cancer, and research shows that human Dicer can bind both RNA and DNA G-quadruplexes, leading to inhibition of pre-miRNA cleavage.

Summary: Cystic fibrosis lung disease is characterized by increased ventilation inhomogeneity. This study evaluated previously published reference equations for SF6 multiple-breath washout (MBW) outcomes and produced device-specific equations if necessary. The study found that the historical reference equations were unsuitable for the EXHALYZER D data, and ventilation distribution efficiency (VDE) was a better index of ventilation inhomogeneity than LCI.

Summary: The inversion of faces can lead to enhanced N170 amplitudes, not solely due to structural inversion but mainly because of violations of viewers' expectations across multiple parameters characterizing faces.

Summary: The occlusion-capable optical see-through head-mounted display (OC-OSTHMD) has been actively developed in recent years to accurately present mutual occlusion between virtual objects and the physical world in augmented reality (AR). In this paper, a novel approach for achieving mutual occlusion for common OSTHMDs is proposed by designing a wearable device with per-pixel occlusion capability. Upgraded OSTHMD devices are demonstrated with a prototype using HoloLens 1, showcasing real-time virtual displays with mutual occlusion. A color correction algorithm is also introduced to mitigate color aberration caused by the occlusion device. Potential applications, such as texture replacement of real objects and realistic semi-transparent object display, are demonstrated, aiming to achieve universal implementation of mutual occlusion in AR.

Summary: In this paper, a novel approach for realizing mutual occlusion for common OSTHMDs is proposed. The OSTHMD devices are upgraded to be occlusion-capable by attaching the device before optical combiners. A wearable device with per-pixel occlusion capability is designed, and a color correction algorithm is proposed to mitigate the color aberration caused by the occlusion device. The proposed system demonstrates the potential applications of texture replacement and realistic semi-transparent object display.

Summary: This article investigates the values of work in the creative industries in the Netherlands, exploring whether non-material values are more important than material values and how this is influenced by precarity. Two approaches, post-materialist theory and critical research on the creative industries, are evaluated. The results of the vignette survey show that the relationship between precarity and non-material work values is not straightforward. Creative workers have a clear preference for non-material values such as autonomy and self-expression, even when considering their level of precarity. These findings suggest that post-materialist theories fail to explain the values of work in the vanguard sector of post-fordist economies, highlighting the need for further research on the relationship between non-material values and precarity.

Summary: Dicer-substrate small interfering RNAs (DsiRNAs) are artificial molecules with increased effectiveness compared to traditional 21-mer siRNAs, due to their novel asymmetric design. Four-looped DsiRNAs demonstrated higher gene silencing efficacy in cell experiments, highlighting the importance of Dicer in RNA interference pathways.

Summary: This paper discusses the nature of North Korea's state ideology, whether it is a variant of Soviet Marxism-Leninism or a unique indigenous ideology. The paper argues that North Korea's geopolitical insecurity and its forced march from backwardness to modernization have had a decisive impact on its state ideology. The ideology, known as Juche, is a form of developmental nationalism that draws on Marxist-Leninist origins while incorporating existing common sense forms to mobilize society. The paper critically engages with the argument that Juche represents a break from the supposedly objective laws of Marxism.

Summary: This article discusses the ability of CRISPR-Cas systems to integrate invasive DNA sequences and establish adaptive immunity in bacteria. The study by Dimitriu et al. demonstrates that bacteriostatic antibiotics can induce CRISPR acquisition events, highlighting the impact of environmental conditions on the complex dynamics between host and virus, as well as the corresponding biological and genetic arms race.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder with beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles of Tau proteins as its main pathological mechanisms. Aducanumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting A beta, has shown promising results in reducing Aβ accumulation and slowing cognitive impairment progression, potentially marking a milestone in the development of efficient drugs for AD.

Summary: This study found that patients with tICH who were receiving antithrombotic treatment had lower mRS scores at discharge compared to those who were not, but had higher mortality rates within 30 days. Higher age, female gender, pre-injury VKA use, and hematoma enlargement were associated with unfavorable outcomes.

Summary: The position of the head plays a crucial role in shaping the auditory information received by a listener. Technological advances have allowed for the development of assistive listening devices that can interpret movement patterns to aid in communication. Prosthetic hearing devices may also improve mobility and balance for individuals with hearing deficits. Understanding the relationship between head movement and hearing health can lead to improved signal processing strategies for assistive and augmented hearing devices.

Summary: Eukaryotic genome organization is ordered and can be remodeled during development. Animal model studies with high spatiotemporal resolution are necessary to understand the various forms and functions of genome organization in vivo. Recent findings in C. elegans include unexpected physiological roles for topologically associating domains, different roles for the nuclear lamina at different chromatin scales, cell-type-specific enhancer and promoter regulatory patterns, and prevalent compartment variability in early development.
