The Scholar Imprisoned: Young‐Bok Shin's Decolonial Thought Against (Sub) Imperialisms in East Asia

Sociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article reads Young‐Bok Shin (1941–2016) as a decolonial thinker who theorized transformative worldmaking from the standpoint of the oppressed, rooted in the historical experiences of East Asia. Against the (sub)imperial “logic of sameness” that structures colonial modernity in his social world, Shin advances gongbu (studying) as a ...

“Mongolians can find their feet anywhere, except in Mongolia”: Mongolian aspirations and the moral value of migrant labour in Korea

The Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article draws on the narratives of Mongolians who have worked in Korea to explore the experience of migrant labour and the role work abroad plays in Mongolian identities and life projects. Four different categories of worker are discussed: those working on 3 month visas; those working illegally having overstayed their visa; contract ...

A primer in public policy for the construction industry [PDF]

, 2005
The purpose of this document is to introduce non-specialists to the discipline and practice of public policy, particularly in relation to the construction sector in Australia. In order to do this, a brief overview of Australia’s government structure, and

Sex differences in cerebral blood flow and cardiac function in response to exercise in the heat

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigated the effect of exercising in hot conditions on cerebral blood flow and systolic left ventricular (LV) function in males and females, to explore sex differences. The experimental condition consisted of walking on a treadmill at 5 km/h and 2% incline, inside a heat chamber at 40°C (50% relative humidity), for 90 min.

Development and Evaluation of Mobility and Excavation Rover Toward Lunar Base Construction

Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics
The exploration and utilization of water resources on the Moon are of substantial global interest. To utilize lunar resources and construct bases, the construction machinery should travel over the lunar surface (which is mainly covered with powdery regolith) and excavate the regolith. However, various technical issues should be resolved to achieve this

Plasma β‐hydroxybutyrate concentrations in young adult females after a high‐fat meal under normoxaemia, intermittent hypoxaemia and continuous hypoxaemia: An exploratory analysis

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypoxaemia occurs in intermittent forms, such as obstructive sleep apnoea, and in continuous forms, such as at high altitude, and is increasingly recognized as a modulator of cardiometabolic risk. Although hypoxaemia alters postprandial glucose and lipid metabolism, its effects on ketone bodies remain unclear.

Multi‐omics identifies promoter methylation and gene expression changes associated with human skeletal muscle atrophy

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Skeletal muscle atrophy is a secondary complication in the aetiology of injury and chronic disease. Identifying mechanisms that control muscle mass is necessary to characterise atrophy and develop prevention strategies. We aimed to integrate transcriptomic and epigenomic data to identify key regulatory pathways controlled by promoter DNA ...

Numerical Simulation of Thermal Loads for In-Situ Constructed Lunar Bases

Abstract Building loads are critical design constraints for lunar bases and their thermal control systems due to the Moon’s extreme environment. In this study, we develop a directional solar irradiance model for the lunar surface and use numerical simulations to analyze the heating and cooling loads of in-situ regolith-based double-shell bases ...
