Cross-Disciplinary Rapid Scoping Review of Structural Racial and Caste Discrimination Associated with Population Health Disparities in the 21st Century by Drona P. Rasali, Brendan M. Woodruff, Fatima A. Alzyoud, Daniel Kiel, Katharine T. Schaffzin, William D. Osei, Chandra L. Ford, Shanthi Johnson

“…The results link historical racism/casteism to health disparities occurring in Black and African American, Native American, and other ethnic groups in the US; in Indigenous peoples and other visible minorities in Canada; and in the Dalits of Nepal, a population racialized by caste, grounded on at least four foundational theories explaining structural determinants of health disparities. The evidence from the literature indicates that genetic variations and biological differences (e.g., disease prevalence) occur within and between races/castes for various reasons (e.g., random gene mutations, geographic isolation, and endogamy). …”

High-resolution shallow structures of the Red River fault zone in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau of China revealed by multiple seismic dense linear arrays by HongYu Ni, JunLun Li, Bao Deng, JinYu Zhang, YuanChao Lu, Yan Zhao, JianYe Chen, Peng Su

“…The key findings are: (1) the 7 imaged sections of the RRFZ exhibit quite similar structures, with higher velocities on the SW side and lower velocities on the NE side; the velocity variation is consistent with the surface geological structures along the RRFZ; (2) the shear-wave velocities on the SW side of the RRFZ at the northern Midu section and southern Gasa−Dazhai sections are generally higher than their counterparts in the southern Xinzhai−Taoyuan sections, which reflects lithological variations from the marble-dominated Paleoproterozoic Along basement to the gneiss dominated Paleoproterozoic Qingshuihe basement; (3) from the northern Midu section to the southern region where the RRFZ intersects with the Xiaojiang Fault, the major faults of the RRFZ exhibit a consistent high-angle, NE-dipping structure; (4) the low shear-wave velocities immediately to the NE of the velocity boundary may indicate a faulted zone due to long-term shearing, where excessive amplifications of ground motions could occur. …”

Genetic diversity and population structure studies of West African sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam] collection using DArTseq. by Issa Zakari Mahaman Mourtala, Arnaud Comlan Gouda, Dan-Jimo Baina, Nwankwo Innocent Ifeanyi Maxwell, Charlotte O A Adje, Moussa Baragé, Oselebe Ogba Happiness

“…Population structure analysis divided the 271 accessions into four populations (population 1 was characterised by a mixture of accessions from all countries; population 2, mostly comprised of Nigerian breeding lines; population 3 contained exclusively landraces from Benin; and population 4 was composed by only landraces from West African countries) at K = 4, and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) based on PhiPT values showed that most of the variation was explained when accessions were categorized based on population structure at K = 4 (25.25%) and based on cluster analysis (19.43%). …”

Investigating Variations in Gameplay: Cognitive Implications by Kamran Sedig, Robert Haworth, Michael Corridore

“…As a result, cognitive implications can be linked to the game but not to its structural elements. Given that gameplay arises from interaction between the player and the game, it is the structural components of interaction that should be investigated to better understand the design of gameplay. …”
