Prisoners’ Radio by Attar, Dalia

“…Overall, results from MFA covering 10 Lebanese mainstream media outlets, 10 alternative media outlets in the MENA region and nine international prisoners’ radio programs (29 in total) show that most of the Lebanese news outlets provided predominantly positive stories endorsing the measures taken by authorities to combat Covid-19 in prisons while alternative media in the MENA region and international prisoners’ radio presented negative stories highlighting the lack of sufficient measures, reinforcing the need to do more to combat healthcare risks and increased isolation of prisoners. On the other hand, results from 10 in-depth interviews revealed the benefits of alternative media and highlighted the importance of alternative media production in keeping people behind bars informed and connected to the outside world e specially during a crisis like Covid-19 when prisoners’ isolation was heightened due to strict lockdown measures. …”

Exploring the epigenetic landscape: The role of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in neurodevelopmental disorders by Mohamed Adil Shah Khoodoruth (14589828)

“…By examining mouse models, studies have demonstrated that prenatal environmental challenges, such as maternal infection and food allergies, lead to significant epigenetic alterations in 5hmC levels, which were associated with NDDs in offspring, impacting social behavior, cognitive abilities and increasing ASD-like symptoms. In human studies, researchers have linked alterations in 5hmC levels NDDs through studies in individuals with ASD, fragile X syndrome, TET3 deficiency and ID, specifically identifying significant epigenetic modifications in genes such as <i>GAD1, RELN, FMR1 </i>and <i>EN-2</i>, suggesting that dysregulation of 5hmC played a critical role in the pathogenesis of these disorders and highlighted the potential for targeted therapeutic interventions. …”
