On the Prospects for African Philosophy in Australia
ABSTRACT This paper grapples with the situation of people of African descent in Australia by working through the constitution of the body of academic philosophy in the country. It contends with the parochialism of the Australian philosophical community and the prospects for the cultivation of greater pluralism. Taking African philosophy as one possible

The Cost of the National Disability Insurance Scheme: Australia's Print‐Media Discourse
ABSTRACT This paper examines the way that Australian newspapers have framed the cost of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Introduced in 2013, the NDIS represented a major change in Australia's disability support policy, moving for the first time to a nationwide universal insurance model.

Construction of pathogenic Sec16a mutation mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9
Yaqiang Hu et al. engineered a pathogenic Sec16a mutant mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. They observed that the Sec16a mutant mice displayed diminished learning and memory capabilities, along with a limb‐clasping phenotype upon tail suspension.

The characteristics of collagen‐induced rheumatoid arthritis in macaques and the changes of heart
The disease progression in CIA macaques was categorized into three stages: IIR (days 14–34): The indicators related to rheumatoid arthritis and the levels of immunoglobulin were all elevated. There was a small amount of joint effusion, edema and mild synovial hyperplasia. No joint swelling was observed by naked eye.

Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the
