The Mutable Original: How Chinese Counterfeits Become Nigerian Originals in African Markets
ABSTRACT Affordable Chinese copies of Western brands are ubiquitous in African markets. Despite democratizing consumer access, these goods appear to cement hegemonic value hierarchies that rank Chinese or local products as inferior to Western goods.

This study aims to evaluate the potential of a multistage pump design to enhance hemocompatibility in left ventricular assist devices. We found that the two‐stage concept offers favorable hemolysis measures compared to single‐stage designs, as the reduction in peak shear stresses outweighs the disadvantage associated with prolonged residence time ...

‘Out of My Hands’: Palestinian Referral Care in East Jerusalem After October 7, 2023
ABSTRACT This paper examines the moral experiences of Palestinian healthcare professionals working at a specialised referral hospital in East Jerusalem during the early months of the Gaza War. Drawing on semi‐structured interviews with hospital staff providing oncology care, it analyses how understandings of what constitutes “good” care in a context of

The DNA/RNA autophagy protein SIDT2 as a novel neuropathological hallmark in Huntington disease
SIDT2‐immunoreactive inclusions are observed in the striatum, cerebral cortex, and hypothalamus in HD cases with different Vonsattel grades, and the frequency of SIDT2‐immunoreactive inclusions is associated with longer CAG repeats in the huntingtin gene.

Fused Collapsing for Wide BVH Construction
Abstract We propose a novel approach for constructing wide bounding volume hierarchies on the GPU by integrating a simple bottom‐up collapsing procedure within an existing binary bottom‐up BVH builder. Our approach directly constructs a wide BVH without traversing a temporary binary BVH as done by previous approaches and achieves 1.4 – 1.6 × lower ...
