“…In her study on 'bush wives' in Sierra Leone, Coulter notes that 'A prevalent attitude among people I met, whether in towns or in villages, was that "rebel women" were maltreated because they did not behave in a morally accepted manner'. 42 Verhey points to the fact that the Congolese girls who had been taken by force are not immediately suspected of brutal, aggressive behaviour. 43 However, in the present study all the girls, regardless of how they were recruited, say they are assumed to have a 'military spirit', causing unacceptable and uncivilized behaviour.…”

‘Who will comfort me?’ Stigmatization of girls formerly associated with armed forces and groups in eastern Congo

This empirical article is based on a study of stigmatization of girls formerly associated with armed forces and groups (AFG) in the eastern Congo, and presents a detailed description of how these girls are perceived when returning home. The study reveals that the society views with suspicion those who are or have been part of an armed force or group. People believe that girls having been with an armed group will attract male soldiers to their villages, they are perceived as violent, thieves, promiscuous, and carriers of transmittable diseases, and they are thought to have a bad influence on the behaviour of their peers. These fears and prejudices are translated into stigmatizing behaviour such as name-calling, rejection, social exclusion, and discriminating treatment. Women are identified as those most actively involved in the stigmatization. The stigmatization the girls formerly associated with AFG experience hampers their reintegration process, and can be likened to a second traumatisation. In its discussion the article identifies some important factors impacting on the degree of stigmatization, and distinguishes between two categories: (1) pre-return factors; and (2) post-return factors that may reinforce or reduce the stigmatization. The evidence in this study supports the view that stigmatization is prevalent and poses a major challenge to the reintegration process of girls formerly associated with AFG. The article concludes that the more empowered and financially independent these girls become the less problems and stigmatization they will face

“…Before definite conclusions can be drawn in regard to the phyletic rank of any plant group, it is necessary that all testimony be in. This, as pointed out by Coulter (14), involves a comprehensive knowledge of the history, morphology, and vascular anatomy of the group.…”

POPULUSWesmael (IS) groups the species of poplars in three tribes which are separated chiefly on the basis of presence or absence of gluten covering the terminal buds, number of stamens, and shape of petioles. Five species were studied, representing the three tribes; P. alba, P. grandidentata, and P. tremuloides the first, P. deltoides the second, and P. candicans the third. TEXT FIG. 10.

“…When compared with the o-cresolphthalein complexone method, accuracy and calibration stability increased [129]. The o-cresolphthalein complexone method involves a reaction of Ca 2+ ions with o-cresolphthalein complexone in an alkaline solution (8-Hydroxyquinoline at pH 10.6) and reading the sample absorbance at 660nm [130]. While these methods do not have a range of detection as large as Alizarin Red quantified via the acetic acid-ammonium hydroxide method, they are still useful for samples with low levels of calcium.…”

In vitro models of aortic valve calcification: solidifying a system

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) affects 25% of people over 65, and the late-stage stenotic state can only be treated with total valve replacement, requiring 85,000 surgeries annually in the US alone [1]. As CAVD is an age-related disease, many of the affected patients are unable to undergo the open-chest surgery that is its only current cure. This challenge motivates the elucidation of the mechanisms involved in calcification, with the eventual goal of alternative preventative and therapeutic strategies. There is no sufficient animal model of CAVD, so we turn to potential in vitro models. In general, in vitro models have the advantages of shortened experiment time and better control over multiple variables compared to in vivo models. As with all models, the hypothesis being tested dictates the most important characteristics of the in vivo physiology to recapitulate. Here, we collate the relevant pieces of designing and evaluating aortic valve calcification so that investigators can more effectively draw significant conclusions from their results.

Abstract: It should be realized that, in so complex a subject as heredity, increasing experimental work. must greatly increase the range of known facts and make explanations increasingly difficult.
