The aim of this article is to provide an evolutionarily grounded explanation of central aspects of the structure of language. It begins with an account of the evolution of human causal reasoning. A comparison between humans and non-human primates suggests that human causal cognition is based on reasoning about the underlying forces that are involved in events, while other primates hardly understan
Human intrahepatic lymphocytes are enriched in CD1d-unrestricted T cells coexpressing NKR. Although the origin of this population remains controversial, it is possible to speculate that the hepatic microenvironment, namely epithelial cells or the cytokine milieu, may play a role in its shaping. IL-15 is constitutively expressed in the liver and has a key role in activation and survival of innate a
The lifetimes of low-lying excited states below the 8+ seniority isomer were directly measured using fast timing detectors in the neutron-deficient isotopes 98,100Cd. This experiment was conducted with the DEcay SPECtroscopy (DESPEC) setup at GSI, where the ions of interest were produced via a fragmentation reaction and identified using the FRagment Separator (FRS) before being implanted in the AI
Model-based design is an emerging tool for dealing with the uncertain dynamic loads entering wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). But our understanding about the load-driving population-dynamics is limited. Therefore, we studied if mobility data (mobile telecommunications data) could be used to reduce uncertainties during design. Mobility data from Uppsala, Sweden between 2019–2022 clearly quantif
There has been little, or no, direct testing of theories of gas sorption within particular pores situated amidst a highly inter-connected pore network. The concept of thermodynamically independent pores within networks has also been challenged. In this work, a novel integrated nitrogen sorption and mercury porosimetry technique has been used to deconvolve the condensation and evaporation processes
This release brings together some of Ponce’s finest guitar works, carefully selected and sensitively performed by Bertrand Chavarría-Aldrete. The album opens with a Preludio written not long after Ponce arrived in Paris, characterised by modal and whole tone inflections that lend the piece an impressionistic quality. The release also includes the later set of Seis preludios cortos (‘Six short prel
Urban experiments, living labs and testbeds have emerged as influential approaches to governing cities around the world. Experimental governance allows stakeholders to trial possible futures and to embrace creativity and innovation in the pursuit of sustainability goals. Experiments are often conducted through triple helix partnerships that favour informal and distributed actions. This is a signif
Attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) allows for the study of electron dynamics in atoms and molecules with attosecond time resolution. Previous works reported in the literature have made use of ATAS to image and control such dynamics in the single-channel ionization continuum of helium; in particular, in the vicinity of the doubly excited autoionizing states lying between the N=1and
I Arktis er en klimakjempe i ferd med å våkne sakte, men sikkert fra sin lange dvale: Permafrosten – grunn som kan ha vært frosset i tusenvis av år – begynner flere steder å tine på grunn av de sterkt økende temperaturene (Box m.fl. 2019). Dette kan gjøre klimaproblemet enda verre enn det allerede er, fordi det kan føre til store utslipp av drivhusgasser som CO2 og metan (CH4). Når det skjer, varm
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive B-cell neoplasm that follows a heterogeneous clinical course. Recurrent mutations have been described, but their applicability in the clinical setting is currently limited. The main reasons are challenges in the sequencing of DNA retrieved from formalin-fixed tissue commonly used for tissue collection in clinical biobanks. In this study, we sequenced 77
Some dinoflagellates produce toxic secondary metabolites that correlate with increased resistance to grazers. The allocation costs of toxin production have been repeatedly addressed, but with conflicting results. Few studies have considered the potential costs of this defense to the photosystem, even though defense toxins (e.g., karlotoxins and brevetoxins) are closely linked to the photoprotectiv
A person’s life chances and quality of life depend on social class distinctions, but more so on the region one grew up in. Perspectives of the ‘urban’ or ‘metropolitan’ are a starting point when discussing geographical inequalities vis-à-vis rural, peripheral regions. How disrupting these problems and challenges are on the one (urban) and the other (rural) end of the geographical scope depends on
Quinoa is an Andean grain with high nutritional potential. This study evaluated the synergistic impact of a sequential, two-step fermentation followed by-on quinoa flour (QF) properties, with a primary focus on enhancing in vitro mineral accessibility and characterizing associated physicochemical changes. QF, and -QF fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum were extruded at 14 % and 16 % feed moi
This paper explores the changing nature of social institutions and organizations for resource management on Ontong Java and their central role in maintaining livelihoods. Using detailed field data for three time periods, 1970-72, 1986 and 2006-07, and drawing on earlier secondary data, a longitudinal analysis of changes in governance and livelihoods is undertaken. Increased exploitation of marine
Is more child participation always better for child rights advocacy? That is the question I examine, in this chapter, as I analyse advocacy for child rights in India that led to the adoption of the landmark Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (the ‘POCSO Act’). Through ethnographic fieldwork with non-government organisations (NGOs) and a narrative analysis of interviews and aware
Transgenerational inheritance of environmentally induced epigenetic marks can have significant impacts on eco-evolutionary dynamics, but the phenomenon remains controversial in ecological model systems. We used whole-genome bisulfite sequencing of individual water fleas (Daphnia magna) to assess whether environmentally induced DNA methylation is transgenerationally inherited. Genetically identical
