The goal of this article is to examine the introduction of plantations into East Sumatra (Indonesia) in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Attention is given to the five most important plantation crops, namely tobacco, rubber, oil palm, tea, and fiber. The article analyzes the economic and social transformation of the region as a consequence of the rapid expansion of plantations. Within a short period of time, East Sumatra emerged to become one of the most dynamic economic regions of Southeast Asia. The development of the region and the needs of a source of protection for Dutch planters in face of fierce competition from other Western companies and local resistance encouraged the Dutch colonial government to establish effective authority in East Sumatra.

The Impact

This paper explores the changing postcolonial and racialised politics of belonging in East London. In particular it draws on research with multi-sector professionals and 15 to 18 year old young separated migrants. Separated from parents, these teenagers include those who had applied for asylum and were living under social services care as ‘unaccompanied’ and those living with their extended family. It also includes separated migrants wanting sanctuary, but who had insecure immigration status because their asylum claim had failed, or because they had not yet applied for asylum and had no other visa status. The research focuses on healthcare issues and the broader life-situations of young separated migrants as a way to examine the changing politics of belonging in East London. Features of this politics include a rise in popularity of the Far Right, the impact of immigration and healthcare legislation and practice, and racial hostility. As well as looking at this, there is an exploration of resistance to this racialised political context by teenagers and certain professionals, and the struggle for a convivial multiculture that is a feature of their resistance. The argument here is that the changing racialised politics of belonging in East London: (1) show how underdevelopment, geo-political and postcolonial forces contribute to shaping local experiences of racism (2) sometimes involves, rather than aggressively targets, British citizens from NCWP (New Commonwealth and Pakistani) backgrounds and their descendants, as skin colour becomes less of an articulated symbol of ‘otherness’ than immigration status (3) therefore excludes ‘new migrants’ and especially those seeking sanctuary, such as the young people in this paper, from belonging (4) faces local resistance. However resistance to this politics might be better informed by a greater understanding of how postcolonialism shapes local racism and militates against a convivial multiculture, with sociology playing a role in accomplishing this

AbstractPlant innate immunity is activated upon perception of invasion pattern molecules by plant cell-surface immune receptors. Several bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas and Burkholderia produce rhamnolipids (RLs) from L-rhamnose and (R)-3-hydroxyalkanoate precursors (HAAs). RL and HAA secretion is required to modulate bacterial swarming motility behavior. The bulb-type lectin receptor kinase LIPOOLIGOSACCHARIDE-SPECIFIC REDUCED ELICITATION/S-DOMAIN-1-29 (LORE/SD1-29) mediates medium-chain 3-hydroxy fatty acid (mc-3-OH-FA) sensing in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we show that the lipidic secretome from Pseudomonas aeruginosa comprising RLs, HAAs and mc-3-OH-FAs stimulates Arabidopsis immunity. HAAs, like mc-3-O-FAs, are sensed by LORE and induce canonical immune signaling and local resistance to plant pathogenic Pseudomonas infection. By contrast, RLs trigger an atypical immune response and resistance to Pseudomonas infection independent of LORE. Thus, the glycosyl moieties of RLs, albeit abolishing sensing by LORE, do not impair their ability to trigger plant defense. In addition, our results show that RL-triggered immune response is affected by the sphingolipid composition of the plasma membrane. In conclusion, RLs and their precursors released by bacteria can both be perceived by plants but through distinct mechanisms.

The question of the features of operation of submersible vortex flowmeters of water and water suspensions of low concentrations in pulp and paper production, which are installed in process pipelines with local hydraulic resistance, is considered. It is shown that with an insufficient straight section after local resistance, an additional error appears, which appears due to the influence of local resistance (transition or retraction) on the symmetry of the velocity diagram in front of the device. This error arises due to a change in the Strouhal number (Sh) and is related to the measurement method. The Strouhal number begins to depend on both the distance to the local resistance and the fluid flow rate. Identify this relationship and is dedicated to this work. Recommendations on the length of straight pipeline sections in front of the flow meter have been developed, which can be significantly reduced by limiting the range of operating flow rates. The studies were carried out by the method of numerical simulation of hydrodynamic processes with subsequent processing of the results by the method of experiment planning. The dependence of the number Sh on the length of the relative diameter of the pipeline L/ for hydrodynamic resistance in the form of a transition is presented. This error shows that the measurement error is within 2% already with a straight section in front of the flowmeter equal to 5–7 diameters. The response surface for pipe bends (rotations) is considered at 90º from which it follows that while maintaining the length of the straight section within 5–7 pipe diameters, it is necessary to narrow the measurement range of the instruments 2.5 times.
