The superheroes from DC and Marvel comics are some of the most iconic characters in popular culture today. But how do these figures idealize certain gender roles, body types, sexualities, and racial identities at the expense of others? Hot Pants and Spandex Suits offers a far-reaching look at how masculinity and femininity have been represented in American superhero comics, from the Golden and Silver Ages to the Modern Age. Scholar Esther De Dauw contrasts the bulletproof and musclebound phallic bodies of classic male heroes like Superman, Captain America, and Iron Man with the figures of female counterparts like Wonder Woman and Supergirl, who are drawn as superhumanly flexible and plastic. It also examines the genre's ambivalent treatment of LGBTQ representation, from the presentation of gay male heroes Wiccan and Hulkling as a model minority couple to the troubling association of Batwoman's lesbianism with monstrosity. Finally, it explores the intersection between gender and race through case studies of heroes like Luke Cage, Storm, and Ms. Marvel. Hot Pants and Spandex Suits is a fascinating and thought-provoking consideration of what superhero comics teach us about identity, embodiment, and sexuality.

First the integrated-circuit technique of photolithography is used to pattern a photoresist-for example, a pattem in a layer of material is cured by light and the uncured sections are chemically etched away. Small amounts of wafer real estate on well-defined integrated circuit fabrication processes were made available to any researcher. [...]researchers could generate prototypes with minimal expense (compared to the cost of a full run, or investing in the infrastructure themselves) and with highly refined process standards, the details of which could simply be abstracted away by their design tools.

Researchers are giving a mixed reception to a draft U.S. government plan to do more stringent funding reviews of certain kinds of H5N1 avian influenza research—and perhaps even keep some studies secret. Researchers are giving a mixed reception to a draft U.S. government plan to do more stringent funding reviews of certain kinds of H5N1 avian influenza research—and perhaps even require some studies to be kept secret. The proposal, presented last week at a meeting of the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity, is the latest fallout from the controversy surrounding two studies in which scientists engineered the H5N1 virus and led to a voluntary moratorium on such potentially risky \"gain-of-function\" studies. The new proposal seeks to help biosecurity experts for funding agencies identify problematic experiments before they begin.

A pop-up book is a type of book or card containing a cropped image that forms a three-dimensional layer when the page is opened.4,5 The \"Aku dan Gigiku\" is one such popup book that contains information about the treatment involved in the dentist's clinic.6 The \"Aku dan Gigiku\" is used to inform and educate anxious children undergoing dental treatment.6 Citrawuni et al. measured pulse delta values in intervention and control groups and reported that using the \"Aku dan Gigiku\" can significantly decrease dental care anxiety reflected by pulse delta values in the intervention group using the \"Aku dan Gigiku\" book compared to control groups without the intervention.6 Children with hearing impairment are children who experience partial or complete hearing loss, and this has a complex impact on their lives.7 Children with hearing impairment are thus faced with a great obstacle to communicating and interacting with others.8 This affects the child's behavioral patterns in general, and their psychological, emotional, and social functions.8 In dentistry, measurement of dental care anxiety in children, especially children with hearing impairment, is very important. The objective of measuring dental anxiety in children is to improve the quality of clinical care and research.3 Dentists can identify anxious children to cope well with anxiety, so that the child will have good dental care and a positive experience with dental care.3 The right way for a dentist to identify anxiety in children is to understand the anxiety level before treatment and the factors that influence it.3 During this time, many methods have been developed to measuring anxiety both subjectively and objectively.9 Subjective measurement involves the child directly assessing what he or she felt when undergoing dental treatment.9,10 Objective measurement is a method of directly measuring anxiety using physiological indicators in saliva, blood, and urine.10 Objective measurement must be carried out through laboratory testing that is costly and timeconsuming, so the method is less efficient to use.11 Another simpler, more objective measurement method is measuring the pulse rate, breath frequency, salivary alpha amylase, and electrodermal activity. In this study, children with hearing impairment are selected because they are at a greater risk for dental disease because of greater neglect or poor oral hygiene and access to routine dental care.14 Children with hearing impairment have the greatest obstacle to communicating and interacting with others.2 This affects the child's behavioral patterns in general, psychological, emotional, and social functions.2 Samnieng (2014) and Singh (2012) reported that deaf patients in particular often fail to obtain the needed care because of the communication difficulties experienced in treatment situations.8,14 Dental anxiety in children usually causes a child to be uncooperative during the treatment procedure. GSR may help identify clinically anxious children before dental treatment to provide appropriate interventions.12 Pop-up books are a form of interactive literature that are often used as an educational tool for children because it presents interesting illustrations and can be easy to understand.5 Stark reported that pop-up book intervention has been used to decrease anxious and disruptive behavior and to teach children to be more adaptive.4 The pop-up book \"Aku dan Gigiku\" was selected in this study because it contains information about the treatment involved in the dental clinic.6 Citrawuni et al.
