Social Background Effects on Educational Outcomes—New Insights from Modern Genetic Science

Sociological theory and empirical research have found that parents’ socioeconomic status and related resources affect their children’s educational outcomes. Findings from behavior genetics reveal genetic underpinnings of the intergenerational transmission of education, thus altering previous conclusions about purely environmental transmission mechanisms. In recent years, studies in molecular genetics have led to new insights. Genomic data, polygenic scores, and other facets of sociogenomics are increasingly used to advance research in social stratification. Notably, the 2018 discovery of “genetic nurture” suggested that parents’ genes influence children above and beyond the genes they directly transmitted to their children. Such indirect genetic effects can be interpreted as consequences of parental behavior, which is itself influenced by the parents’ genetics and is essential for their children’s environment. Indirect genetic effects fit hand in glove with the sociological literature because they represent environmental transmission mechanisms. For instance, parenting behaviors, which are partly influenced by parents’ genes, shape children’s home environments and possibly their later educational outcomes. However, current findings based on more sophisticated research designs demonstrate that “genetic nurture” effects are actually much smaller than initially assumed and hence call for a reevaluation of common narratives found in the social stratification literature. In this paper, we review recent developments and ongoing research integrating molecular genetics to study educational outcomes, and we discuss their implications for sociological stratification research.

A Comprehensive View of Subaltern ‘Consciousness’

In the academic and scholarly realm, the word ‘Subaltern Studies’ has attracted widespread interest for discourses on South Asian and the post-colonial world few decades ago. The major motif of subaltern studies has been to challenge the conventional metanarratives in history by hegemonic communities and goes hand in glove with post-colonial discussions of the empire writing ack to the imperial power centers. One comes across the dominance of the subaltern in the master- slave relationships of Hegel, the blacks’ rebellion in Frantz Fanon, the east-west polarities in Edward Said, and the duality of ‘otherness’ of Homi Bhabha, and the voiceless subaltern in Spivak. In this process, the rise of ‘new’ subaltern comes into play and means one who resists or revolts.

Low-Income Homeownership and Safety Nets: The Role of Radical Community Practices

ABSTRACT Nonprofit networks that oversee housing accessibility within urban neighbourhoods emerge as crucial arenas for inducing transformative shifts in policy and practice in the United States. However, civil society actors are subject to considerable critique in the discourse on radical planning theory. They are often alleged to be hand in glove with state and market actors in enabling displacement and dispossession of marginalised groups. This study challenges some of these entrenched positions and provides important counter-narratives on the transformative roles of civil society. Delving into the roles of various institutions that facilitate low-income homeownership, community building, and neighbourhood stabilisation, the study reveals that civil society actors present opportunities for subaltern expression, disruptive activism, and structural transformation in power relationalities. Their strategies respond to wealth-building pathways through housing and address intersectional challenges related to identity, citizenship, and access, thus reaffirming their transformative potential in the urban planning discourse.

A Re-Think of a True Identity in Embracing and Practicing Western Culture(s) and Religion as Typical Bakweri, Manyu and Ugare people of the Anglophone Cameroon

Purpose: Western Education and Christian religion foundations and developments in Africa in general and Cameroon in Particular were laid and developed on African traditional education and religious practices and beliefs. Unfortunately, African traditional education, religious belief system and practices were brandished by colonial masters and Missionaries who introduced western education and Christian religious practices as fetish, uncivilized and paganic. All these allegations were from the stranger’s perspectives. Regrettably, those who engaged into the study of western education and practices of western religion were forced to upgrade foreign education and religious practices and beliefs over against African education and religious beliefs and practices. All these led to a false identity, religious practices, educational norms and values development on those who practice the western system of education and religious development. Consequently, some of the cherished Cameroonian cultural practices, religious beliefs and traditional education are fast dying out. It is for this reasons that this paper sought to address and revisit cultural beliefs and religious practices of some tribes of the Anglophone Cameroon. The purpose of this paper is to present some of the cultural practices that are educative, promote cherish values and norms and demonstrate the strength of the Bakweri, Manyu and Ugare cultural practices and belief for today’s children of the Anglophone Cameroon who have embraced western education and western religion over against our valued education and informative cultures and religion.
 Materials and Methods: The methodology is qualitative with the use of ethnography as design. Data were collected interviews, primary and secondary sources. and interviews.
 Findings: From the content analysis, the conclusion arrived at is that because the Bakweri Manyu and Ugere traditional education and cultural practices and beliefs are unique, other religions and educations should learn from the richness of these indigenous practices.
 Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Though western education is good, Christianity, western education and cultural traditional beliefs and practices should work hand in glove for a better society. Before the coming of Christianity, the cultural beliefs and practices of the Bakweri, Manyu and Ugere had long existed. The people were aware of the existence of the Supreme Being and Christian religion should not consider them as fetish and paganic. The study suggests a model of educating the young generation on the traditional education and cultural practices of the Bakeri, Manyu and Ugere people. The home is the center whereby, cultural values should disseminated to the churches, schools and community.

‘Good Jew, Bad Jew’

Abstract In Good Jew, Bad Jew Steven Friedman argues that the meaning of anti-Semitism favoured by the Israeli government and its allies prioritises loyalty to the Israeli state over identification with the Jewish people. On this view, ‘good Jews’ are those who support the Israeli state, and ‘bad Jews’ are those who criticise Zionism. This framing reflects a discursive transition over decades linked to the desire to make Israel part of Europe politically and culturally. Not only has the Zionist version of anti-Semitism inverted traditional notions of Jewishness but it has transformed ‘Jewishness’ from the ‘other’ to whiteness, to an ally of white supremacists. This racial embrace goes hand in glove with the brutal practice of colonial violence evident in Gaza. Friedman makes his case drawing on the work African scholars such as Biko, Fanon and Mamdani, Southern scholars such as Ashis Nandy, as well as established scholars of the North.

A masked gene concealed hand in glove in the forkhead protein crocodile regulates the predominant detoxification CYP6DA1 in Aphis gossypii Glover

Cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism is an important mechanism of insecticide resistance, most studies show upregulated transcript levels of P450s in resistant insect strains. Our previous studies illustrated that some upregulated P450s were associated with cyantraniliprole resistance, and it is more comprehensive to use the tissue specificity of transcriptomes to compare resistant (CyR) and susceptible (SS) strains. In this study, the expression profiles of P450s in a CyR strain compared with a SS strain in remaining carcass or midgut were investigated by RNA sequencing, and candidate genes were selected for functional study. Drosophila melanogaster bioassays suggested that ectopic overexpression of CYP4CK1, CYP6CY5, CYP6CY9, CYP6CY19, CYP6CZ1 and CYP6DA1 in flies was sufficient to confer cyantraniliprole resistance, among which CYP6DA1 was the predominant contributor to resistance (12.24-fold). RNAi suppression of CYP4CK1, CYP6CY5, CYP6CY9 and CYP6DA1 significantly increased CyR aphid sensitivity to cyantraniliprole. The CYP6DA1 promoter had two predicted binding sites for crocodile (CROC), an intron-free ORF with bidirectional transcription yielding CROC (+) and CROC (−). Y1H, RNAi and EMSA found that CROC (−) was a transcription factor directly regulating CYP6DA1 expression. In conclusion, P450 genes contribute to cyantraniliprole resistance, and the transcription factor CROC (−) regulates the expression of CYP6DA1 in A. gossypii.

Flux: Liquid Types for Rust

We introduce Flux, which shows how logical refinements can work hand in glove with Rust's ownership mechanisms to yield ergonomic type-based verification of low-level pointer manipulating programs. First, we design a novel refined type system for Rust that indexes mutable locations, with pure (immutable) values that can appear in refinements, and then exploits Rust's ownership mechanisms to abstract sub-structural reasoning about locations within Rust's polymorphic type constructors, while supporting strong updates. We formalize the crucial dependency upon Rust's strong aliasing guarantees by exploiting the Stacked Borrows aliasing model to prove that "well-borrowed evaluations of well-typed programs do not get stuck". Second, we implement our type system in Flux, a plug-in to the Rust compiler that exploits the factoring of complex invariants into types and refinements to efficiently synthesize loop annotations-including complex quantified invariants describing the contents of containers-via liquid inference. Third, we evaluate Flux with a benchmark suite of vector manipulating programs and parts of a previously verified secure sandboxing library to demonstrate the advantages of refinement types over program logics as implemented in the state-of-the-art Prusti verifier. While Prusti's more expressive program logic can, in general, verify deep functional correctness specifications, for the lightweight but ubiquitous and important verification use-cases covered by our benchmarks, liquid typing makes verification ergonomic by slashing specification lines by a factor of two, verification time by an order of magnitude, and annotation overhead from up to 24% of code size (average 14%), to nothing at all.

3D Hand Scanning Methodology for Determining Protective Glove Dimensional Allowances.

There are two types of dimensional allowance (inner and external) related to two distinct areas of occupational health and safety: those being a measure of fit of personal protective equipment (PPE) and those determining the safe and comfortable human interaction with tools and machines, e.g., the latter ones result from wearing PPE increasing the dimensions of the human body and generating limitations in the work environment. In this paper, they are taken to mean the difference between the dimensions of a bare and gloved hand (including glove construction and materials). Dimensional allowances are important in designing the work environment, e.g., machine control panels and tools. The absolute and relative maximum values of dimensional allowances determined in this study for a hand in a firefighter's protective glove for the main anthropometric data are: 16.90 mm (5.90%) for length, 12.00 mm (13.77%) for width, and 15.70 mm (7.96%) for circumference. The obtained results are useful for designers, and especially for designing keys on control panels and LCD touch displays and monitors integrated with machines.

A novel ambigrammatic mycovirus, PsV5, works hand in glove with wheat stripe rust fungus to facilitate infection

Here we describe a novel narnavirus, Puccinia striiformis virus 5 (PsV5), from the devastating wheat stripe rust fungus P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). The genome of PsV5 contains two predicted open reading frames (ORFs) that largely overlap on reverse strands: an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and a reverse-frame ORF (rORF) with unknown function. Protein translations of both ORFs were demonstrated by immune technology. Transgenic wheat lines overexpressing PsV5 (RdRp-rORF), RdRp ORF, or rORF were more susceptible to Pst infection, whereas PsV5-RNA interference (RNAi) lines were more resistant. Overexpression of PsV5 (RdRp-rORF), RdRp ORF, or rORF in Fusarium graminearum also boosted fungal virulence. We thus report a novel ambigrammatic mycovirus that promotes the virulence of its fungal host. The results are a significant addition to our understanding of virosphere diversity and offer insights for sustainable wheat rust disease control.

“Why Should I Not Speak My Own Language (Chinese) in Public in America?”: Linguistic Racism, Symbolic Violence, and Resistance

AbstractThis article seeks to understand a Chinese international student's (Hong's) encounters with linguistic racism as symbolic violence as well as why and how he resisted different forms of linguistic racism in different situations. Data findings suggest that linguistic racism as symbolic violence takes different forms through both verbal and nonverbal language under the scrutiny of the white gaze, which produces arbitrary power, control, and domination. This triad of linguistic racism, symbolic violence, and the white gaze formed an intersection, which was practiced through visible and hearable linguistic modalities immediately to subordinate and oppress Hong as a victim. The researchers argue that the triad of linguistic racism, symbolic violence, and the white gaze works hand in glove with each other to construct an intersection, which reproduces and reinforces structures of domination and hierarchy. The researchers, therefore, suggest that more research is needed to deconstruct the complexity and subtlety of the intersection of linguistic racism, symbolic violence, and the white gaze. Educational implications for recognizing and combating linguistic racism are also addressed.

Un/Making Mythos: Cult of Personality and Imaginative Opposition in the Kemalist Republic

ABSTRACT In Turkey the cult(s) of personality and authoritarianism have gone hand in glove since at least the foundation of the republic. Through an in-depth analysis of Ryan Gingeras’s Eternal Dawn: Turkey in the Age of Atatürk and Christine Philliou’s Turkey: A Past Against History, this review essay considers the republican origins of one-man rule and opposition to authoritarianism in the Turkish context. It discusses how, and why, the cult of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk saw the light of the day even when he was still alive. It also questions how the evolving meanings and implications of muhalefet (opposition) could serve not only as a historical fact and analytical tool but also as a normative category in its own right to divert the public’s energy from un/making nationalist mythos into consolidating basic liberal democratic values and economic justice of which Turkey is in dire need today.

Your WAP Is at Risk: A Vulnerability Analysis on Wireless Access Point Web-Based Management Interfaces

This work provides an answer to the following key question: Are the Web-based management interfaces of the contemporary off-the-shelf wireless access points (WAP) free of flaws and vulnerabilities? The short answer is not very much. That is, after performing a vulnerability assessment on the Web interfaces of six different WAPs by an equal number of diverse renowned vendors, we reveal a significant number of assorted medium-to-high severity vulnerabilities that are straightforwardly or indirectly exploitable. Overall, 13 categories of vulnerabilities translated to 28 zero-day attacks are exposed. Our findings range from legacy path traversal, cross-site scripting, and clickjacking attacks to HTTP request smuggling and splitting, replay, denial of service, and information leakage among others. In the worst-case scenario, the attacker can acquire the administrator’s (admin) credentials and the WAP’s Wi-Fi passphrases or permanently lock the admin out of accessing the WAP’s Web interface. On top of everything else, we identify the already applied hardening measures by these devices and elaborate on extra countermeasures that are required to tackle the identified weaknesses. To our knowledge, this work contributes the first wholemeal appraisal of the security level of this kind of Web-based interfaces that go hand in glove with the myriads of WAPs out there, and it is therefore anticipated to serve as a basis for further research in this timely and challenging field.

Rural teachers' perceptions towards the inclusion of learners with autism into inclusive classroom settings in zimbabwe: a case of chivi district primary schools

This study investigated teachers' perceptions towards the inclusion of learners with autism into inclusive classroom settings in rural schools. It mainly focused on perceptions of rural teachers and investigates on understanding and knowledge of rural teachers on autism in their classrooms. It discuss the challenges faced by rural teachers including learners with autism and the ways to overcome. A phenomenological research design underpinned in which the researcher used indepth interviews and focused group discussions on interacting with the participants about their perceptions towards the inclusion of learners with autism into inclusive classroom settings. Twenty rural primary school teachers in Chivi District were purposively sampled. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews. The findings revealed that participants had a low level of knowledge about autistic learners and also found that factors such as lack in-service training and in teaching and learning materials were among the challenges teachers face in teaching learners with autism in inclusive classrooms in rural schools. The provision of inclusive in-service training and workshops could help many rural teachers gain appropriate knowledge and skills in teaching learners with autism in inclusive classrooms. It is concluded that inclusive education is still facing many challenges in making it a reality. Therefore, the study recommends that educational stakeholders work for hand in glove with rural teachers to let every learner with and without autism learn and enjoy the benefits of education in inclusive classrooms.
