The Underground Village Author: Kang Kyeong-ae Publisher : Honford Star Kang Kyeong-ae (1906–1944), one of Korea's great modern authors, wrote her stories during the Japanese occupation of Korea. Kang's work is remarkable for its rejection of colonialism, patriarchy and ethnic nationalism during a period when such views were radical and dangerous. With an expert commentary by Sang-kyung Lee, a professor of modern Korean literature at KAIST, and beautifully translated by Anton Hur, this collection of Kang's work displays her sensitivity, defiance, class consciousness and deep understanding of the oppressed people she wrote about.

WASHINGTON -The International Monetary Fund slightly lowered its outlook for the global economy on Tuesday, while predicting that most countries will avoid a recession this year despite economic worries and geopolitical strains. Concerns over high inflation, rising geopolitical tensions and financial stability hang over the updated forecasts, with the impact of war in Ukraine continuing to dampen growth and drive up consumer prices in many countries. Persistent economic concerns could overshadow plans by the IMF and World Bank to promote an ambitious reform and fundraising agenda at this year's spring meetings.

A new study has shed light on why immunotherapy does not always work in certain types of cancer. Led by researchers at EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) , Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the work focuses on understanding why some tumours fail to respond to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, an approved immunotherapy that harnesses the power of the patient's immune system to target and destroy cancer cells. ICB has transformed the treatment landscape for cancer patients.
