Are you up to date with your pertussis vaccine?
If not, get on that…please.
You are significantly reducing the risk of a really bad illness if you are generally healthy, and hospitalization or even death if you aren’t.
And you might save the life of someone else, like a precious little baby.
There is also the added benefit of being protected from tetanus when you get your pertussis booster because it’s a combo shot.
And who wants that?

Another Child Suffers From the Effects of Anti-Vaccine Propaganda…and Tetanus
As an Australian child suffers from tetanus, a horrific and virtually 100% preventable illness, a prominent local anti-vaccine propagandist goes on the attack.

"The UN International Organization for Migration said it believes 15,000 to 20,000 migrants are stranded in rural olive groves near the central Tunisian coastline. Their presence is a byproduct of anti-migration policies being championed in both Tunisia and throughout Europe, particularly from right-wing politicians who are expected to gain ground in the EU’s parliamentary elections this week"

Stranded migrants confront violence and despair as Tunisia partners to keep them from Europe
Europe's efforts to partner with neighboring countries to curb migration have resulted in thousands of migrants being stranded in Tunisia. Tunisia's authorities with EU funds have successfully prevented tens of thousands of people from crossing the Mediterranean. But thousands more are now encamped in small towns along the coast where they hide in olive groves and wait for a chance to cross the sea. They have no money to return home. Their presence has unleashed a xenophobic backlash in Tunisia…

Children's expressed emotions during playful learning games
Studies on software tutoring systems for complex learning have shown that confusion has a beneficial relationship with the learning experience and student engagement (Arguel et al., 2017). Causing confusion can prevent boredom while signs of confusion can serve as a signal of genuine learning and as a predecessor for frustration. There is little to no research on the role of confusion in early childhood education and playful learning, as these studies primarily focus on high school and universi…

Detecting local perturbations of networks in a latent hyperbolic embedding space
Graph theoretical approaches have been proven to be effective in the characterization of connected systems, as well as in quantifying their dysfunction due to perturbation. In this paper, we show the advantage of a non-Euclidean (hyperbolic) representation of networks to identify local connectivity perturbations and to characterize the induced effects on a large scale. We propose two perturbation scores based on representations of the networks in a latent geometric space, obtained through an em…

Scalar Dark Energy Models and Scalar-Tensor Gravity: Theoretical Explanations for the Accelerated Expansion of Present Universe
The reason for the present accelerated expansion of the Universe stands as one of the most profound questions in the realm of science, with deep connections to both cosmology and fundamental physics. From a cosmological point of view, physical models aimed at elucidating the observed expansion can be categorized into two major classes: dark energy and modified gravity. We review various major approaches that employ a single scalar field to account for the accelerating phase of our present Unive…

Exotic compact objects: a recent numerical-relativity perspective
Beyond black holes and neutron stars, new hypothetical compact objects have been proposed as potential astrophysical entities. In general, their properties have not yet been fully explored or understood, nor has it been proven whether or not they exist in nature. They are the so-called $\textit{exotic compact objects}$, theoretical equilibrium configurations in the strong regime of gravity that involve new exotic physical phenomena deeply related to fundamental questions of theoretical physics …
