Recuperated “Non-Aligned” Histories of African Collections in the Museum of African Art and the Museum of Yugoslavia (Belgrade,)

Acta Academiae Artium Vilnensis
This paper examines the discursive recuperation of “non-aligned” histories and non-alignment—understood as the set of ideas and values behind the Non-Aligned Movement established in the 1960s1—in the interpretation of two African collections, the Museum ...

Peripheral intravenous catheter needleless connector decontamination study—Randomized controlled trial

, 2020
Background: Needleless connectors (NCs) were introduced to reduce health care work needlestick injuries (NSIs). If not decontaminated prior to use, NCs can be a portal for patient blood stream infections.

Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.

Biomass Native Structure Into Functional Carbon‐Based Catalysts for Fenton‐Like Reactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study indicates that eight biomasses with 2D flaky and 1D acicular structures influence surface O types, morphology, defects, N doping, sp2 C, and Co nanoparticles loading in three series of carbon, N‐doped carbon, and cobalt/graphitic carbon. This work identifies how these structural factors impact catalytic pathways, enhancing selective electron
