community formation in activematter systems

population genetics has undergone a major revolution over the past thirty years thanks to the development of controlled microbial experiments to test the respective roles of randomness selection and ecological processes in evolution for instance it was shown that when cell division drives the growth of dense bacterial colonies fluctuations at the colonys edge generally lead to the emergence of spatial genetic segregation most organisms however do not spread out because of cell division but instead follow complex nonequilibrium dynamics characterized by selfpropulsion and motilityinduced collective behaviors although such nonequilibrium dynamics have been extensively studied within the new field of physics called active matter their role in shaping microbial evolution remains largely unknown the aim of this proposal is to address this issue and investigate the interplay between active matter physics and spatial population genetics to do so i will put forward an interdisciplinary theoretical framework that integrates coarsegrained descriptions of activematter systems with evolutionary and ecological processes by combining stochastic calculus fieldtheoretical methods and numerical simulations i will then characterize the emergent phenomenology of such systems to this aim the project delves into four consecutive objectives 1 understand the fate of genetic segregation in motile cellular colony 2 study the interplay of motilityinduced pattern formation and genetic segregation 3 incorporate ecological interactions in the framework developed in previous stages 4 generalize our findings to address highly heterogeneous communities by achieving these tasks i aim to unravel the complex dynamics of motile cell colonies setting the stage for a theory of spatial ecoevolutionary changes in active populations

using human rights to change abortion law involvement patterns and argumentative architectures in the global figuration of human rights

abortion laws are the crux of human rights diversity today abortion laws evidence best how differently human rights meanings are construed in various local settings however we know very little about how this diversity is generated in practice this project will scrutinize the communication processes that use human rights as arguments to change abortion laws we will contrast abortion debates from the last ten years in pairs of countries that represent three regional human rights systems mozambique and senegal the african union poland and ireland the council of europe and argentina and honduras the organization of american states these debates show the ambivalence of human rights they were used successfully to argue both for more liberal and more restrictive abortion laws to explain this ambivalence we will apply concepts of argumentative architecture and involvement patterns coined by the pi as part of her figurational sociology of law based on norbert eliass theory of the process of civilization using a mixedmethods approach that combines qualitative sociology legal analysis and corpus linguistics we will offer a multidimensional model for a globally comparative interdisciplinary sociolegal study of human rights we will study the structure composition and embedding of arguments along with group perspectives emotions and circles of identification of arguing actors so as to arrive at a heat map that will show the distribution of involvement in argumentative architectures by constructing a global metatypology of argumentative architectures and involvement patterns in abortion debates we will explore the integrative civilizing potential of human rights and identify the centrifugal forces in human rights figuration that comprise the local regional and global levels finally we will revisit the role of human rights as a universal toolbox for ideologies in order to plead their conditional rehabilitation

towards a transdisciplinary demographic theory of birth and death trajectories

fertility and mortality fuel population renewal fertility theory struggles with a multitude of underlying entangled dimensions whereas mortality theory can build on strong regularities intriguingly strong regularities analogous to death begin to emerge for birth shown with my novel born oncedie once approach the gompertz law of death appears to apply to birth as well the linear rise in record life expectancy seems to be mirrored by a linear rise in record birth expectancy over decades thus encouraged i propose to harness the power of mortality modeling to 1 add an unexplored innovative dimension to fertility modeling and 2 develop a shared theoretical framework of birth and death trajectories that applies across the social sciences by conceptualizing different types of individuals that are born and die i strive to achieve ambition 1 by investigating birth with eight established regularities of death modeling emerging patterns and extending existing models of population renewal broadening the scope ambition 2 applies the approach of ambition 1 to case studies of couples families and households which i consider social individuals i will define types of social individuals along shared dimensions and components rooted in crossdisciplinary perspectives of what defines an individual much will be learned from feasible empirical analysis in 1 and 2 about new relationships that can support and invigorate existing formal and empirical demographic research if i master the conceptual challenges of this proposal a shared and mirrored theoretical framework of birth and death will contribute a new and powerful toolbox for formal demographic analysis together with a generic concept of individuality it would pioneer a new transdisciplinary field of research that synergistically investigates the basic principles of formation dissolution and renewal strengthening the theoretical foundation of population sciences
the physical cultural and biogenetic landscape of the last neanderthals

our closest relatives the neanderthals abruptly disappeared 40 thousand years ago ka after having endured for 350 thousand years in a territory ranging from the iberian peninsula to southern siberia decadeslong research attempted to address the cultural aspects and the demographic and environmental factors that triggered their demise yet there are no widely accepted scenarios that satisfactorily explain the extinction of the neanderthal these shortcomings are in part because the data available originated from a limited number of sites mainly in western and central europe which we now know were peripheral to the range of the last neanderthals to compellingly reconstruct the chain of events that led to neanderthals extinction the scientific community needs new extensive archaeological data possibly from the core regions of the last neanderthals range areas of western and central asia and eastern and southeastern europe were at the core of this range served as gateways to marginal areas and witnessed neanderthals biocultural interactions with sapiens and denisovans for the first time three pis with vast expertise on neanderthals culture biology and paleoenvironments will synergistically attempt to bridge the knowledge gap between the core and the periphery of their range at the time of their decline between 6040ka project last neanderthals will 1 accurately collect date integrate and model new highresolution cultural biogenetic and environmental data from understudied areas in western and central asia and eastern and southeastern europe 2 provide an unprecedented perspective on the last neanderthals population dynamics 3 offer a comprehensive and compelling explanation of the mechanisms that led to their extinction by integrating data from their entire range and formulating and testing nuanced hypotheses using new models and simulations 4 serve as a proxy for the fate shared by all archaic human groups
