The continued inordinate demise from communicable pathogens in the global South is not the result of an intractable problem thwarting our best efforts to prevent and cure disease; we have the means. Rather, as an accomplice to contemporary imperialism, public health manages (as a profession) and maintains (as an academic discipline) global health inequity. It does this through 'bourgeois empiricist' models of disease causation, which serve protected affluence by uncritically reifying inequitable social relations in the modern/colonial matrix of power and making them appear commonsensical.

Building capacity and capability for science diplomacy: challenges in decolonizing the curriculum for Global Health System Leadership.

Education policy is the front and center of contemporary science diplomacy. This is particularly the case in global health where nation-states are being called upon to equip their health workforce with leadership skills and competencies to improve population health and engage in health system development. In the perspective that follows, we argue that successfully meeting such demands requires not only a high-quality education offering but also one that is aware of and engaged with the coloniality underpinning its underlying assumptions.

Due to the lack of inherent geometric symmetry present in the structures of aluminum oxide clusters, determining their stable configuration becomes an exceedingly formidable task computationally. In this comprehensive analysis, we first propose the most stable state of AlO, determined through Density Functional Theory calculations at ωB97XD/Def2-TZVP level of theory. Multiple structural isomers were scrutinized for their stability and spin state, with the optimal structure determined using the bee colony algorithm for global optimization.

Rice, being the most important food crop in China, is also the world's largest producer and consumer, accounting for 30% of global production and consumption. In 2023, brown stripes were observed on the leaf sheaths of diseased rice seedlings in a Jingxi rice field (22°51'N, 105°56'E) in Guangxi, China. The investigated area of rice fields, which was about 1.

Identification of blood sources for maximum production of Anopheles mosquitoes is an important consideration for colony maintenance which involves mass rearing. High feeding rates, eggs production, hatching rates, larval, pupal, and adult survivorship are essential parameters to consider when selecting a blood host for mass production of An. gambiae.
