The dehumanization of Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) and marginalized communities does not end once an individual is released from an institution. The dehumanization process is kept alive with ineffective community supervision and the stigma associated with an individual’s incarnation history. Evidence of this continual dehumanization process is reflected...
DNA damage, if not repaired, can become a mutation. Mutation
accumulation is associated with initiation and progression of tumorigenesis. DNA
mismatch repair (MMR) is required for maintaining genetic stability by repairing
replication errors. Biochemical studies have shown that MMR also recognizes
mismatch-causing DNA lesions, suggesting the role of MMR in...

After 22 years of eruption at Kilauea Volcano, Hawai'i, an environmental, epidemiological, and ethnographic study was conducted to assess for adverse health effects from chronic exposure to volcanogernc air pollution. Environmental data from 2003 indicated that Kau District, from 37 to 74 km downwind from the eruption, was being exposed...
The diurnal variability and the environmental conditions that support the moisture resurgence of MJO events observed during the Cooperative Indian Ocean Experiment on Intraseasonal Variability (CINDY)/DYNAMO campaign in October–December 2011 are investigated using in situ observations and the cloud-resolving fully air–ocean–wave Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS). Spectral density and...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the stages of exercise change, the levels of physical activity, and barriers to exercise among Kuwaiti individuals with and without disabilities. This study was conducted on 100 participants (50 males and 50 females) aged from 18 to 55 years. Stage of exercise...
Genome defense likely evolved to curtail the spread of transposable elements and invading viruses. A combination of effective defense mechanisms has been shown to limit colonization of the Neurospora crassa genome by transposable elements. A novel DNA transposon named Sly1-1 was discovered in the genome of the most widely used...
