The Dynamics of Kafa’ah Nasab and the Identity of Sharifah Women: An Examination of Sayyid Utsman's Perspectives within the Context of Gender Equality by Ahmad Azzam Nouvaldi, Mohammad Syifa Amin Widigdo

“…Sayyid Uthman, as one of the great scholars of the Dutch East Indies colonial period, emphasized the invalidity of this marriage in several of his works, which later became an important reference in the social structure of the habaib. However, from the perspective of gender equality, this practice raises the problem of discrimination against women and strengthens the patriarchal system based on lineage. …”

Biomechanical modeling of spatiotemporal bacteria-phage competition by Andrés Valdez, Hui Sun, Howard Howie Weiss, Igor Aranson

“…As phages predate, surviving cells tend to re-align toward the phage-affected region, forming a more ordered structure. This reordering effect not only reduces the radial spread of the colony but, in highly virulent scenarios, generates an inflow of cells toward the phage-plaque, effectively “devouring” portions of the colony. …”

Probing protein sequences as sources for encrypted antimicrobial peptides. by Guilherme D Brand, Mariana T Q Magalhães, Maria L P Tinoco, Francisco J L Aragão, Jacques Nicoli, Sharon M Kelly, Alan Cooper, Carlos Bloch

“…Principal component analysis of DSC data shows that the investigated peptides group according to their effects on the main phase transition of phospholipid vesicles, and that these effects correlate both to antimicrobial activity and to the changes in peptide secondary structure. Consequently, we have been able to identify novel antimicrobial peptides from larger proteins not hitherto associated with such activity, mimicking endogenous and/or exogenous microorganism enzymatic processing of parent proteins to smaller bioactive molecules. …”
