Supersymmetric $$AdS_6$$ A d S 6 black holes from ISO(3) $$\times $$ × U(1) F(4) gauged supergravity by Parinya Karndumri

“…We find a number of new supersymmetric $$AdS_2\times \mathcal {M}_4$$ A d S 2 × M 4 solutions by performing topological twists along $$\mathcal {M}_4$$ M 4 . For $$\mathcal {M}_4$$ M 4 being a product of two Riemann surfaces $$\Sigma \times \widetilde{\Sigma }$$ Σ × Σ ~ , we perform a twist by $$SO(2)\times U(1)$$ S O ( 2 ) × U ( 1 ) gauge fields and find $$AdS_2\times \Sigma \times \widetilde{\Sigma }$$ A d S 2 × Σ × Σ ~ solutions for at least one of the Riemann surface being negatively curved. …”

Allan Boesak: innocence and the struggle for humanity by M. Cloete

“…Boesak is of the view that post-apartheid South Africa is still deeply plagued by a racist legacy of moral-political “innocence”. I explore the validity of Boesak’s position from the perspective of his fundamental claim that the philosophy of Black Consciousness represents a legitimate framework for addressing the legacy of “innocence”, construed by him as an epistemic condition that refuses to engage with the historical “truth” of race thinking. …”

Survey on Knowledge, Use, and Diagnostic Applicability of Special Tests for Rotator Cuff Involvement in Clinical Practice by Steven W. Forbush, William D. Bandy, Gabrielle L. Back-Kremers, Mollie Renfroe, Haley F. Downey

“… # Results The four tests most readily *known* by respondents included the empty can, drop arm, full can, and Gerber's tests, and the four tests *used* regularly by the respondents included the infraspinatus, full can, supraspinatus, and champagne toast tests. The infraspinatus, champagne toast, external rotation lag (ERLS), and the belly-off tests were found to be the be most useful for establishing a *diagnosis* of the muscle-tendon complex involved. …”

A categoria raça nas Ciências Sociais: revisitando alguns processos políticos, sociais e culturais na história do Brasil by José Ivo Follmann, Adevanir Aparecida Pinheiro
