The Way

This article explores an important facet of the New Wave of Indigenous filmmaking in Canada: residential school system history and imagery, its place in the historical archive, and the way it is being retold and reclaimed in films like Rhymes for Young Ghouls (2013), Savage (2009), Sisters & Brothers (2015), Indian Horse (2017), and The Grizzlies (2018). While researching this topic, one unanswered question has left me feeling sometimes frustrated and often troubled: Is there a risk of producing pan-Indigenous readings, or worse, repeating the original propagandistic intentions of the original residential school photographs when they are used in new media?

While the literature on political action committees' (PACs) contributions to congressional campaigns is substantial, one key variable has been missing: the ideology of the PAC. Such a measure is needed to evaluate a normatively important yet unanswered question: to what extent do PACs give to candidates with whom they agree ideologically, as opposed to candidates they may want to influence after the election? This study shows that many interest groups' preferences for an electoral strategy or an access strategy can be predicted by their left-right ideology and their level of ideological extremism. The analysis finds that more ideologically extreme groups and more liberal groups spend more money on PAC contributions relative to lobbying. Further, groups' underlying left-right ideology is also highly predictive of their allocation of PAC contributions between the two parties—even controlling for group type.

Devotio Moderna

AbstractIn the Devotio Moderna, women appear to have used vernacular religious song to a much greater degree than men. Why this is so is an as yet unanswered question and the focus of this article. It explores in the first instance how song might have fit into the lives of meditation to which such women were dedicated, arguing that vernacular religious song was accepted but under some suspicion as a lesser meditative mode. It then interprets documented instances of actual singing in order to assess under what circumstances song might have been permitted to serve as meditative vehicle.

Multidrug resistance is a global healthcare problem. Gram-negative organisms, particularly Enterobacteriaceae strains are responsible for almost 60% of nosocomial infections. Colistin acts as the last treatment resort in complicated, critical, and MDR cases; also become resistant in the last few years in an escalating manner. Its resistance has been reported almost all over the world. Since there is no alternative antibiotic of colistin-resistant isolates is available. The last year of 2020 was completely engaged with the Covid-19 pandemic for global healthcare systems. This issue is still persisting with no solution. Strict infection control policies and a noval antibiotic with lesser side effects are great in demand to resolve this issue. We gathered 28 studies from 2010 that reported colistin resistance among Enterobacteriaceae throughout the world. Colistin resistance still reported and escalated globally with no available solution. Asia was the leading region with 50% of selected studies followed by Europe and Klebsiella pneumonia and Klebsiella species were the leading organisms of colistin resistance among Enterobacteriaceae. This mini-review was designed to highlight the global importance of colistin-resistant isolates among Enterobacteriaceae, which still an unanswered question.

AbstractThe prevailing model for the variety in drug responses is that they stabilize distinct active states of their G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) targets, allowing coupling to different effectors. However, whether the same ligand can produce different GPCR active states based on the environment of receptors in cells is a fundamental unanswered question. Here we address this question using live cell imaging of conformational biosensors that read out distinct active conformations of the δ-opioid receptor (DOR), a physiologically relevant GPCR localized to Golgi and the surface in neurons. We show that, although Golgi and surface pools of DOR regulated cAMP, the two pools engaged distinct conformational biosensors in response to the same ligand. Further, DOR recruited arrestin on the plasma membrane but not the Golgi. Our results suggest that the same agonist drives different conformations of a GPCR at different locations, allowing receptor coupling to distinct effectors at different locations.

Student Responses

This paper summarizes results of a study of 105 student-athletes enrolled in a first-year experience course. Students were asked, What is the biggest unanswered question you have about college? Results indicated that students most burning questions were related to academics; relatively few student responses were directly related to being a student-athlete. Discussion of the findings includes designing first-year experience courses to respond to students concerns.
