The arrest of prominent Cambodian unionist and long-time government critic Rong Chhun at the end of last month at his home in Phnom Penh sends a clear message to the world that Prime Minister Hun Sen and members of the ruling-Cambodia People's Party (CPP) will never tolerate opposition voices in the country.
What is happening with the Covid-19 economic crisis is that governments and economists around the world are trying to solve it on a "trial and error" basis because no one actually has experience with a crisis of this magnitude. Textbook measures like mega-fiscal spending, helicopter money, loan payment holidays, SME business loans and near-zero interest rates are being implemented.
Beirut has been living with car bombs and air raids on a sporadic but continuing basis for so long that it would probably make sense to rebuild this time with shatterproof glass. The torrent of broken glass falling from a thousand shattered buildings probably accounted for half the 158 dead found so far in Beirut and certainly for most of the 6,000 wounded.
Every day, while engaging with youths across the Asia Pacific, I witness their tremendous resilience in coping with the challenges of their daily lives while at the same time supporting their communities in facing the Covid-19 pandemic.

ObjectiveMelanocytes play a central role in skin homeostasis. In this study, we focus on the function of melanocyte releasing exosomes as well as exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) and investigate whether ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation exerts an impact on it.
Materials and methodsExosomes derived from human primary melanocytes were isolated through differential centrifugation and were identified in three ways, including transmission electron microscopy observation... Читать дальше...

BackgroundVegetarian diets adapted for various reasons that may include religious, ethical, and health considerations have reasonable health benefits including weight loss, and favorable metabolic changes. However, studies that assessed health benefits associated with vegan diet practices during the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian (EOC) Lenten fasting remains limited. This study has, therefore, assessed how short-term vegan diet associated with metabolic traits... Читать дальше...

Aiming to solve the problem of low data utilization and privacy protection, a personalized differential privacy protection method based on cross-correlation constraints is proposed. By protecting sensitive location points on the trajectory and their affiliated sensitive points, this method combines the sensitivity of the user's trajectory location and user privacy protection requirements and privacy budget to propose a (R,Ɛ) -extended differential privacy protection model.

The outbreak of COVID-19 across the world has posed unprecedented and global challenges on multiple fronts. Most of the vaccine and drug development has focused on the spike proteins and viral RNA-polymerases and main protease for viral replication. Using the bioinformatics and structural modelling approach, we modelled the structure of the envelope (E)-protein of novel SARS-CoV-2. The E-protein of this virus shares sequence similarity with that of SARS- CoV-1... Читать дальше...
