Decolonizing green chemistry research through Matharu plots
No full textResearch decolonization is necessary to forge diverse workspaces and foster equitable opportunities for underrepresented populations in science. The prevailing power structures in which the scientific enterprise operates are deeply rooted in colonial frameworks, perpetuating bias and discrimination towards people from the Global South. Therefore, there is an urgent need to dismantle these systemic disparities. Change must start at the educational level.. In this work, we introduce the concept of a Matharu Plot as an example of a practical and impactful tool to generate critical discussions and drive tangible change towards decolonized and inclusive research.. A Matharu Plot is a one-page infographic that shows the geographical distribution of cited research with an accompanying narrative. A Matharu Plot highlights any potential biases that may be inheent during literature and thus, facilitates a shift in mindset towards inclusive, decolonized research. . Matharu Plots can be easily integrated into undergraduate, masters, and doctoral-level chemistry curricula, as well as any other academic discipline, serving as a versatile and transformative resource that advances equitable chemical education in sustainability

BECLIN-1 dependent autophagy predicts good prognosis in hematological malignancies: mechanistic insights
No full textI have completed my Ph.D. studies in Medical Sciences and Biotechnology at Università del Piemonte Orientale (Laboratory of Molecular Pathology, Department of Health Sciences, Novara) under the mentorship of Prof. Ciro Isidoro. Our laboratory's main research focuses on autophagy, a lysosome-mediated catabolic process essential for cellular homeostasis and macromolecular turnover. This process degrades damaged, aged, or excess cellular components and eliminates intracellular pathogens. In cancer, autophagy often becomes dysregulated, playing dual roles in tumorigenesis and progression. Initially, basal autophagy acts as a tumor suppressor by mitigating cellular damage and genomic instability, thereby preventing malignant transformation. However, depending on the advanced stages or severity of cancer, autophagy supports tumor cell survival by counteracting therapeutic stress and enabling adaptation to adverse conditions such as hypoxia, nutrient depletion, and limited growth factor availability. During my studies, I focused on the role and regulation of autophagy in hematological malignancies, particularly in Diffuse large B cell lymphoma and Acute myeloid leukemia and their cancer progression focusing on glycolysis and therapy resistance. I co-authored two original articles dealing with these topics, one was published in the journal Cells, and the other one in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (which are reported in the section Results). In addition, I participated in other ongoing lab projects dealing with the functional role of Autophagy in regulating several aspects of ovarian cancer progression (therapy response, cancer cell migration, cell dormancy, and metabolic rewiring mechanisms). Furthermore, I also contributed to other projects of the lab related to other tumors like neuroblastoma, colorectal cancer, and cholangiocarcinoma. Altogether, I co-authored nine papers that are appended at the end of this thesis (the reader may refer to the sectio
Despite the government’s ‘levelling up’ rhetoric, most relevant promises have been watered down or broken
No full textArianna Giovannini and Amreen Qureshi highlight the gap that exists between levelling up rhetoric and reality, and argue that the government has to show it has the ambition, plans, and political will to shift the dial on regional inequalities and overcentralisation
Nationality and Borders Bill: the proposed reforms will further frustrate an already problematic asylum system
No full textShould the Nationality and Borders Bill be passed into law, the human cost would be dire, write Amreen Qureshi and Lucy Mort. They explain how the new proposals will hamper integration and may be seen as an abdication of the UK’s commitments to relevant international law

Control of a nonlinear continuous bioreactor with bifurcation by a type-2 fuzzy logic controller
No full textThe object of this paper is the application of a type-2 fuzzy logic controller to a nonlinear system that presents bifurcations. A bifurcation can cause instability in the system or can create new working conditions
which, although stable, are unacceptable. The only practical solution for an efficient control is the use of high performance controllers that take into account the uncertainties of the process. A type-2
fuzzy logic controller is tested by simulation on a nonlinear bioreactor system that is characterized by a transcritical bifurcation. Simulation results show the validity of the proposed controllers in preventing the system from reaching bifurcation and instable or undesirable stable conditions
