Abstract:

The present paper aims at discussing What Sunny Saw in the Flames by Nnedi Okorafor as a fantasy novel for children and young adults focused upon the question of self-identification. In the framework of fiction for younger audiences, the fantasy mode becomes a tool which allows to examine the topics important to young readers, such as identity and their place within the society, by providing a confrontation with the Other. The example of Nnedi Okorafor’s book, known in the USA as Akata Witch, shows how the instrumentation of a fantasy novel enables an exposition of the process in which the pro

Abstract:

Albinos are at great risk for developing cutaneous malignancy. We report a 33-year-old patient of occulocutaneous albinism who presented with multiple actinic keratoses and basal-cell carcinoma. This report highlights the increase in vascular structures seen on dermoscopy as a clue toward malignant transformation. We hereby emphasize the role of dermoscopy for monitoring and screening of skin tumors in albinism and other genodermatosis prone to skin tumors.

Abstract Albinism has been sporadically recorded in Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana) in the United States and Mexico, but records of pigmentation disorders in other Didelphis spp. are rare. The Brazilian common opossum (Didelphis aurita) is a cat-sized nocturnal omnivorous marsupial that inhabits Atlantic and Araucaria forests in South America. A litter of five young Brazilian common opossums was rescued at Espírito Santo state, southeast Brazil, of which two were albinos (one male, one female) and the remaining had normal pigmentation (three males).

In addition to hypopigmentation of the skin and red iris colouration, albino animals also display distinct physiological and behavioural alterations.

Differentiating between the effects of albinism and domestication on behaviour in rodents can be difficult, and social behaviour in cave fish changes according to species-specific adaptations to conditions of permanent darkness.

The relationship between African traditional healers (sangomas) and persons with albinism is contradictory. Sangomas are rumoured to fuel the narrative that body parts of persons with albinism have magical powers, and so can be harnessed and used by quick wealth-seekers. That narrative has claimed lives and agency of many albinos. There is, however, an emerging trend for sangomas to revert this narrative through media. A good example is Unathi Magubeni, a South African practicing sangoma, who has authored the novel: Nwelezelanga: The Star Child (2016), on the topic. Borrowing from critical ide

A traditional explanation for the loss of pigmentation in cave dwellers is the absence of negative selection acting on surface species to remove all albinos from the population. Recently, however, evidence has been accumulating that albinism in the cavefish <em>Astyanax mexicanus</em> has several beneficial pleiotropic effects. Albino cavefish have higher catecholamine levels due to a loss-of-function mutation in the oca2 gene, higher resistance to anesthesia, and sleep less than their pigmented, surface-dwelling conspecifics.

Medical writing from the period criticizes the influence of corpulence on the reproductive health of women, claiming that corpulence's impact on female fertility is either obstructive, or eventually results in abortive maternity. However, this article's examination of fictional “fat” women, alongside contemporary medical opinions on corpulence's effect on female health, reveals that the medical condemnation of

Abstract:

Anther culture is one of the most popular methods for obtaining haploid triticale plants. The current paper has presented the study results of the efficiency of the method for obtaining haploid plants in promising winter triticale forms bred by the Federal Agricultural Research Center of South-East. There has been estimated haploproduction parameters for the studied genotypes on the nutrient media C-17 and P-2. There were no genotypes unresponsive to androgenesis. There has been found that the medium Potato-2 had a significant positive effect on the total number of embryogenic structures per 1

The short-lived emperor Macrinus had a son whose name, inscriptions reveal, was M. Opellius Antoninus Diadumenianus. Little is known about this figure, who is remembered through brief references in the late Roman breviaries and in Herodian, and in a short biography in the collection of imperial lives now known as the Historia Augusta (= HA). In 1889, Dessau argued that the lives of the Historia Augusta, which present themselves as written by six different authors in the Age of Constantine, were in fact written by a single writer closer to the year 400, an argument that has now all but prevaile

Abstract:

In this work we describe albinism in Angola as a public health issue. In Angola there is an estimated population of around 34 million people, 6818 are albinos and only around 2000 people are monitored by the national health service. Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetically inherited autosomal recessive condition and OCA2, tyrosine positive albinism, is the most prevalent type found across Angola. Due to the lack of melanin, people with albinism are more susceptible to the harmful effects of exposure to ultraviolet radiation. This population must deal with issues such as photophobia, decr

Abstract:

Learners with albinism potentially face a number of challenges in schools due to their skin condition. Albinism is an inherited condition from birth as a result of the absence of melanin pigment which usually changes the colour of the skin, hair and eyes. Albinism is usually greeted with disdain in most Bantu communities. In Zambia, some communities consider it a bad omen to give birth to an albino. Therefore, attempts are made to either kill baby albinos at birth or banish them from the community. In schools, learners with albinism are constantly abused and ridiculed by other learners and are

We report a case of chromatic aberration (progressive greying) of a Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra) from a drainage canal neighbouring a recently restored wetland from Latium, central Italy (third case for this rail at the regional level). Moreover, we reviewed the cases of chromatic aberrations (leucism, progressive greying, albinism, etc.) in this species for Italy (1990-2024), obtaining records for 13 sites. However, the complete albinos mentioned in the literature are very questionable since many different conditions should be met for a correct diagnosis of this aberration. We suggest that, wh

Among the different types of pigmentary anomalies, albinism is the most common in amphibians. The Critically Endangered Patagonia frog (Atelognathus patagonicus) is endemic to the northwest Argentinian Patagonia, and inhabits small temporary lagoons isolated from each other. During the monitoring of two sub-populations of the species, we found 32 individuals (4.5%; N = 714) with pigmentary anomalies in Antiñir lagoon, inside Laguna Blanca National Park. Among them, 31 were albinos (five tadpoles, two metamorphs and 24 juveniles) recognized for having transparent skin and red eyes. One individu

ABSTRACT: Malawi has experienced a boom in radio and television stations, newspapers, online media, and a democratic dispensation has been put in place, but reporting of human rights abuses in the country is unsatisfactory. One of the most pressing issues at the moment in the country is the killing, maiming, abduction and disappearance of persons with albinism. Persons with albinism face discrimination and stigma based on false beliefs. A content analysis of Malawian newspaper articles on the attacks on persons with albinism suggests that reporting is largely specific, reactive and super

Abstract:

A traditional explanation for the loss of pigmentation in cave dwellers is the absence of negative selection acting on surface species to remove all albinos from the population. Recently, however, evidence has been accumulating that albinism in the cavefish Astyanax mexicanus has several beneficial pleiotropic effects. Albino cavefish have higher catecholamine levels due to a loss-of-function mutation in the oca2 gene, higher resistance to anesthesia, and sleep less than their pigmented, surface-dwelling conspecifics. All of these traits are beneficial to cavefish, given the scarcity of food a

AbstractCrowding is a phenomenon in which the ability to recognize an object in a clutter deteriorates. It is, therefore, a fundamental aspect of object recognition and crucial in deciphering resolution. For visually impaired individuals, deficiency in crowding has a tremendous effect on vision and may reflect and predict the amount of deterioration in vision. It is well established that albinos suffer much more from crowding than normally sighted individuals under daylight luminance conditions. However, to our knowledge, this study is the first to investigate crowding in albino participants u
