Saliva for COVID-19 testing: Simple but useless or an undervalued resource? (2021)
Journal Article

During the COVID-19 pandemic, countries with robust population-based asymptomatic testing were generally successful in controlling virus spread, hence reducing hospitalizations and deaths. This effectiveness inspired widespread asymptomatic surveilla... Read More about Saliva for COVID-19 testing: Simple but useless or an undervalued resource?.

Being and becoming human in higher education: A co-autoethnographic inquiry (2021)
Book Chapter

We are South African academics in teacher development studies and educational leadership and management. In this chapter, we inquire, what have we learned through our autoethnographic explorations for re/humanizing learning and teaching, academic sel...

Estimating divergence‐free flows via neural networks (2021)
Journal Article

We apply neural networks to the problem of estimating divergence-free velocity flows from given sparse observations. Following the modern trend of combining data and models in physics-informed neural networks, we reconstruct the velocity flow by trai...

Brain structural covariance network differences in adults with alcohol dependence and heavy-drinking adolescents (2021)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Graph theoretic analysis of structural covariance networks (SCN) provides an assessment of brain organization that has not yet been applied to alcohol dependence (AD). We estimated whether SCN differences are present in adults wi... Read More about Brain structural covariance network differences in adults with alcohol dependence and heavy-drinking adolescents.

Neuroprotection Against NMDA-Induced Retinal Damage by Philanthotoxin-343 Involves Reduced Nitrosative Stress (2021)
Journal Article

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) overstimulation is known to mediate neurodegeneration, and hence represents a relevant therapeutic target for neurodegenerative disorders including glaucoma. This study examined the neuroprotective effects of phi... Read More about Neuroprotection Against NMDA-Induced Retinal Damage by Philanthotoxin-343 Involves Reduced Nitrosative Stress.

A multi-scale integrated assessment model to support urban sustainability (2021)
Journal Article

Tools purposed towards supporting the transition to more sustainable urban futures typically focus on specific phenomena at the local level. Whilst such approaches remain valuable, there is a need to complement this micro approach with broader integr...

Risks of myocarditis, pericarditis, and cardiac arrhythmias associated with COVID-19 vaccination or SARS-CoV-2 infection (2021)
Journal Article

Although myocarditis and pericarditis were not observed as adverse events in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine trials, there have been numerous reports of suspected cases following vaccination in the general population. We undertook a self-... Read More about Risks of myocarditis, pericarditis, and cardiac arrhythmias associated with COVID-19 vaccination or SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Seismic response of piles in layered soils: Performance of pseudostatic Winkler models against centrifuge data (2021)
Journal Article

In this study, the suitability of the pseudostatic approach for the seismic analysis of pile foundations in layered soils is explored by means of experimental data from centrifuge tests performed at 60g. A free-head single pile and a capped (1 × 3) p... Read More about Seismic response of piles in layered soils: Performance of pseudostatic Winkler models against centrifuge data.

Sexuality and politics: ‘Coming out’ in German and Chinese queer films (2021)
Book Chapter

This chapter analyses the ‘coming out’ narratives represented in two queer films from different cultural contexts: Coming Out (dir. Heiner Carow, GDR, 1989) and Lan Yu (dir. Stanley Kwan, China, 2001). Both films feature gay men’s ‘coming out’ experi... Read More about Sexuality and politics: ‘Coming out’ in German and Chinese queer films.

Fact-checking false claims and propaganda in the age of post-truth politics: the Brexit referendum (2021)
