description: Reproductive division of labour is a hallmark of eusociality, but disentangling the underlying proximate mechanisms can be challenging. In bumblebees, workers isolated from the queen can activate their ovaries and lay haploid, male eggs. We investigated if volatile, contact, visual or behavioural cues produced by the queen or brood mediate reproductive dominance in Bombus impatiens. Exposure to queen-produced volatiles, brood-produced volatiles and direct contact with pupae did not reduce worker ovary activation: only direct contact with the queen could reduce ovary activation. We evaluated behaviour, physiology and gene expression patterns in workers that were reared in chambers with all stages of brood and a free queen, caged queen (where workers could contact the queen, but the queen was unable to initiate interactions) or no queen. Workers housed with a caged queen or no queen fully activated their ovaries, whereas ovary activation in workers housed with a free queen was completely inhibited. The caged queen marginally reduced worker aggression and expression of an aggression-associated gene relative to queenless workers. Thus, queen-initiated behavioural interactions appear necessary to establish reproductive dominance. Queen-produced chemical cues may function secondarily in a context-specific manner to augment behavioural cues, as reliable or honest signal.

description: When mothers continue to support their offspring beyond infancy, they can influence the fitness of those offspring, the strength of social relationships within their groups, and the life-history traits of their species. Using up to 30 years of demographic data from 58 groups of gorillas in two study sites, this study extends such findings by showing that mothers may also contribute to differences in social organization between closely related species. Female mountain gorillas remained with their sons for significantly longer than western gorillas, which may explain why male philopatry and multimale groups are more common among mountain gorillas. The presence of the putative father and other familiar males did not vary significantly between species, and we found only limited support for the socio-ecological theory that the distribution of adult males is influenced by the distribution of females. Within each gorilla species, variations in those distributions may also reflect the different stages in the typical life cycle of a group. Collectively, our results highlight the potentially far-reaching consequences of maternal support that extends beyond infancy, and they illustrate the opportunity to incorporate additional factors into phylogenetic analyses of variations in social organization, including studies of human evolution.

description:
Black girls are disproportionately impacted by HIV and STIs in the United States. Black male caregivers are underutilized in family-based HIV/STI prevention programming and offer a novel opportunity to protect Black girls. This study will evaluate the efficacy and implementation of an HIV/STI prevention program delivered to Black girls and male caregivers in community settings. IMAGE: IMARA for the Male Caregivers and Girls Empowerment was adapted from IMARA, an evidence-based mother-daughter intervention to decrease HIV/STI infection and increase communication and healthy relationships among girls and their male caregivers. Using an efficacy implementation design, we will test the effectiveness of IMAGE compared to a time-matched general health promotion program across six community-based organizations. Aim one will evaluate IMAGE in a 2-arm randomized controlled trial with 300 14-18-year-old Black girls and their male caregiver dyads in Chicago, IL. We hypothesize that girls who receive IMAGE will have lower STI incidence (primary outcome), fewer sexual partners, and more consistent condom use (secondary outcomes) at 6- and 12-months compared to girls in the health promotion program. Guided by the 3-Step Implementation Model, our second aim is to identify and describe factors (barriers, facilitators) and processes affecting implementation in community settings. HIV and STI disparities go beyond individual-level factors, and male caregivers may protect girls by being a sexual health resource. This study will facilitate rapid CBO uptake and ownership of IMAGE if effective. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06266416.

description: Rodents have important effects on contemporary human societies, sometimes providing a source of food but more often as agricultural pests, or as vectors and reservoirs of disease. Skeletal remains of rodents are commonly found in archaeological assemblages from around the world, highlighting their potential importance to ancient human populations. However, there are few studies of the interactions between people and rodents at such sites and most of these are confined to locations where rodents have formed a part of the recent diet. Here we compare the accumulation pattern of rodent remains from four locations within and adjacent to the renowned Neolithic site of Skara Brae, Orkney, showing that those within the settlement itself were the result of deliberate human activity. The accumulation and nature of burnt bones, incorporated over an extended period within deposits of household waste, indicate that rodents were used as a nutritional resource and may have been the subject of early pest control. We, therefore, provide the first evidence for the exploitation or control of rodents by the Neolithic inhabitants of Europe.

description: Climate on our planet is changing. The canton of Zurich, in following the global trend, is expected to face warmer temperatures throughout the year and dryer summers in most parts of the canton. These climatic changes have an effect upon ecosystems and biodiversity, and pose major challenges for many species. As a consequence, the canton of Zurich has developed a series of action plans to address the risk of biodiversity loss. This thesis aims at supporting the canton of Zurich in its climate adaptation strategy regarding management tasks to reduce the climate change impact on plant biodiversity loss. For that purpose, we identified potentially threatened and favored plant species within the canton of Zurich by means of ecological indicator values from Flora indicativa and plant surveys. Furthermore, we assessed how the site conditions the plant species can find today are expected to change under different climate change scenarios. Finally, we identified regions in the surrounding Europe that exhibit a similar current climate compared to the climate we would expect to see in the future in Zurich. Studying the ecosystems of the identified places could provide insight into complex ecosystem dependencies, such as interactions among species and between trophic levels. The resulting lists of sensitive species distinguish between climate change effects due to rising temperature and decreasing soil moisture, whereby the results seem to be meaningful as judged by botanical experts of WSL and the canton of Zurich. However, they only represent a first assessment and the definition of species-specific management goals requires further investigation. Further, we found that in accordance to the climatic changes the environmental conditions are expected to become more preferable for species with dryer and warmer requirements than today. The third analysis revealed that the locations with similar future Zurich climate can be found in few cases in Switzerland, but most often in neighbouring countries, as well as in Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, only very few regions show a climate that tightly matches the projected future climate of Zurich. In order to explore in more detail existing ecosystems that are likely to resemble future ecosystems in Zurich, further investigations are needed, and analyse need to consider computed distances and other important factors, such as bedrock or wind.

description: PurposeThe purpose of this thesis is to examine a market opportunity with the Market Opportunity Navigator by Marc Gruber and Sharon Tal in order to discover and develop a product fit for a specific market, namely for self-initiated expatriates in the Asia Pacific region needing to fill their pension gaps after living and working away from their home country. Since the trend for self-initiatedexpatriation has risen to currently 80% of the expatriate workforce in the APAC region, the lack of financial education may pose some risks regarding pension benefits and otherlong-term financial implications. This thesis explores how to ameliorate this problem and develop a solution for it. Design/methodology/approachThe approach of exploring the market opportunityis done with the Market Opportunity Navigator, in combinationwithscientific research, marketresearch, surveys and interviews. FindingsFindings have been that previous to this thesis there has not been any scientific research done on thefinancial implications of self-expatriation, neither short term norlong term. Another finding has been that there is a need and demandfor financial education for thespecific situationof self-initiatedexpatriates, the details of which has been drilled down and refined through surveys and interviews.Research limitations/implicationsLimitations of the researchwere the fairly small survey pool which should be representative enoughfor the thesis, yet more deep dive must be done in the future. The methodologydoes not take current the extreme political and pandemic situation into account, which will have an influence over the next 24-36 months. Practical implicationsThis thesis poses a thought stimulus on the situation of the self-expatriated, who may be financially at risk in old age if no provisions are taken. A strategy to reach this communityand help with long term, low cost solutions is proposedin this thesis aswell as the consideration of continuing research on this topic. Originality/valueA first step has been done in order help self-initiated expatriates in giving guidance on financial pitfalls whenworking abroad without paying into the home country’s orlocal pension scheme. So far there has been no scientific research on this topic, neither about long term implications, loss of retirement income, tax implications or alternative solutions. The originality lies therein that this topic needs further researchand solutions

description: As zebrafish emerge as a species of choice for the investigation of biological processes, a number of experimental protocols are being developed to study their social behaviour. While live stimuli may elicit varying response in focal subjects owing to idiosyncrasies, tiredness and circadian rhythms, video stimuli suffer from the absence of physical input and rely only on two-dimensional projections. Robotics has been recently proposed as an alternative approach to generate physical, customizable, effective and consistent stimuli for behavioural phenotyping. Here, we contribute to this field of investigation through a novel four-degree-of-freedom robotics-based platform to manoeuvre a biologically inspired three-dimensional-printed replica. The platform enables three-dimensional motions as well as body oscillations to mimic zebrafish locomotion. In a series of experiments, we demonstrate the differential role of the visual stimuli associated with the biologically inspired replica and its three-dimensional motion. Three-dimensional tracking and information-theoretic tools are complemented to quantify the interaction between zebrafish and the robotic stimulus. Live subjects displayed a robust attraction towards the moving replica, and such attraction was lost when controlling for its visual appearance or motion. This effort is expected to aid zebrafish behavioural phenotyping, by offering a novel approach to generate physical stimuli moving in three dimension.

The politics of the UN Security Council P5 in inter-national security crises". The project was jointly run by the Center for Security Studies at ETH Zürich, the Department of Geography and Environment at the University of Geneva, and the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP).  UNSCdeb8 is a database of all verbatim statements given by the representatives of permanent and non-permanent members during public meetings of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) between 2010 and 2017. It is comprised of all the records of these statements that have been made publically available by the UN, in either their English original or the UN’s translation of a statement into English. All the textual data in UNSCdeb8 is aligned with metadata about the particular statement and meeting in which it was articulated, such as speaker-nationality, speaker-role, date/time, meeting number and agenda title of the meeting. It is primarily designed to facilitate corpus-driven social science research, but can also be used for other methodological approaches.  UNSCdeb8 is accessible via a web-based query tool (https://unscdeb8.swp-berlin.org and https://unscdeb8.ethz.ch) that enables researchers to quickly and intuitively assemble sub-corpora of UNSC-debates.

Introduction: An efficient pipeline for rosette trajectory magnetic resonance imaging reconstruction is proposed, combining the inverse Fourier transform with a vision transformer (ViT) network enhanced with a convolutional layer. This method addresses the challenges of reconstructing high-quality images from non-Cartesian data by leveraging the ViT’s ability to handle complex spatial dependencies without extensive preprocessing. Materials and Methods: The inverse fast Fourier transform provides a robust initial approximation, which is refined by the ViT network to produce high-fidelity images. Results and Discussion: This approach outperforms established deep learning techniques for normalized root mean squared error, peak signal-to-noise ratio, and entropy-based image quality scores; offers better runtime performance; and remains competitive with respect to other metrics.

description: This master thesis aims to provide a guide for B2B oriented software companies on how to embark on the subscription journey. The subscription model itself brings a very different perspective on how to make business –it starts with different ways of engaging with the customer and a lot more customer care after the deal was made. To achieve this the business must readjust and align itself to the customers to be able to retain them. All this comes with the promise of increasing recurring revenue that should be more predictable and should outgrow the perpetual sales over time. Drastically changing the business revenue model is not an easy thing, especially when the company doing it has a lot of existing customers that are used to the old model. Convincing the customers that this pricing model is meaningful and keeping them is a key challenge that must be overcome. There is also the internal, or in some case the owners’ resistance, especially when the company is public. It is expected that the company will have to coupe with revenue cuts, as even if the sales rate is increasing as the money will be claimed overtime. The salesforce might also be heavily reorganized, as their incentives are naturally related to the deal size. The research of the topic will combine an analysis of documented case studies and internal views of B2B software vendors that are currently making the transitions to a subscription business model. This approach will help validate some of the theoretical hypotheses and reveal hidden risks in the transition. It will also focus in detail on how an R&D department in such a company will readjust itself to meet the new model’s requirements. The thesis provides a generic description of what it means for a b2b company to switch to a subscription-based revenue model along with many listed impediments and a set of examples of how to mitigate those. It may serve as a pragmatic yet systemic guide on how to trigger such a serious business model change.

description: Terrestrial mammals are experiencing a massive collapse in their population sizes and geographical ranges around the world, but many of the drivers, patterns and consequences of this decline remain poorly understood. Here we provide an analysis showing that hunting for mostly food and medicinal products is driving a global crisis whereby 301 terrestrial mammal species are threatened with extinction. Nearly all of these threatened species occur in developing countries where major coexisting threats include deforestation, agricultural expansion, human encroachment and competition with livestock. The unrelenting decline of mammals suggests many vital ecological and socio-economic services that these species provide will be lost, potentially changing ecosystems irrevocably. We discuss options and current obstacles to achieving effective conservation, alongside consequences of failure to stem such anthropogenic mammalian extirpation. We propose a multi-pronged conservation strategy to help save threatened mammals from immediate extinction and avoid a collapse of food security for hundreds of millions of people.

description: The covenants of the Prophet Muhammad have until very recently been regarded as forgeries by both Muslim and non-Muslim academics. Following the publication of Dr. John Andrew Morrow’s book The Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of the World, there has been a renewed interest in the covenants. This thesis therefore builds on the research conducted by Morrow and a paper published by myself entitled ‘The Prophet’s Treaty with the Christians of Najran: An Analytical Study to Determine the Authenticity of the Covenants’. The thesis argues that the covenants are indeed genuine and authentic documents that were issued by the Prophet and whose terms and conditions were to apply from the time they were written until the Day of Judgment. As such their policy implications are still applicable today. This thesis employs a number of source-critical methods, mostly relying on textual analysis, to make the case that it is highly implausible that different and disparate religious communities would have forged similarly worded documents, with similar style and format, and that the covenants must therefore originate from a common source. Though the thesis demonstrates how these documents were in some instances tampered with, future research may provide more comprehensive explanations as to why they cannot be found in the Islamic sources in their original format.

description: Coral endosymbionts in the dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium are known to impact host physiology and have led to the evolution of reef-building, but less is known about how symbiotic communities in early life-history stages and their interactions with host parental identity shape the structure of coral communities on reefs. Differentiating the roles of environmental and biological factors driving variation in population demographic processes, particularly larval settlement, early juvenile survival and the onset of symbiosis is a key to understanding how coral communities are structured and to predicting how they are likely to respond to climate change. We show that maternal effects (that here include genetic and/or effects related to the maternal environment) can explain nearly 24% of variation in larval settlement success and 5–17% of variation in juvenile survival in an experimental study of the reef-building scleractinian coral, Acropora tenuis. After 25 days on the reef, Symbiodinium communities associated with juvenile corals differed significantly between high mortality and low mortality families based on estimates of taxonomic richness, composition and relative abundance of taxa. Our results highlight that maternal and familial effects significantly explain variation in juvenile survival and symbiont communities in a broadcast-spawning coral, with Symbiodinium type A3 possibly a critical symbiotic partner during this early life-stage.

description: Background. The bay cat Catopuma badia is endemic to Borneo, whereas its sister species the Asian golden cat Catopuma temminckii is distributed from the Himalayas and southern China through Indochina, Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra. Based on morphological data, up to five subspecies of the Asian golden cat have been recognized, but a taxonomic assessment, including molecular data and morphological characters, is still lacking. Results. We combined molecular data (whole mitochondrial genomes), morphological data (pelage) and species distribution projections (up to the Late Pleistocene) to infer how environmental changes may have influenced the distribution of these sister species over the past 120 000 years. The molecular analysis was based on sequenced mitogenomes of 3 bay cats and 40 Asian golden cats derived mainly from archival samples. Our molecular data suggested a time of split between the two species approximately 3.16 million years and revealed very low nucleotide diversity within the Asian golden cat population, which supports recent expansion of the population. Discussion. The low nucleotide diversity suggested a population bottleneck in the Asian golden cat, possibly caused by the eruption of the Toba volcano in Northern Sumatra (approx. 74 kya), followed by a continuous population expansion in the Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene. Species distribution projections, the reconstruction of the demographic history, a genetic isolation-by-distance pattern and a gradual variation of pelage pattern support the hypothesis of a post-Toba population expansion of the Asian golden cat from south China/Indochina to the Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra. Our findings reject the current classification of five subspecies for the Asian golden cat, but instead support either a monotypic species or one comprising two subspecies: (i) the Sunda golden cat, distributed south of the Isthmus of Kra: C. t. temminckii and (ii) Indochinese, Indian, Himalayan and Chinese golden cats, occurring north of the Isthmus: C. t. moormensis.

description: Background. The bay cat Catopuma badia is endemic to Borneo, whereas its sister species the Asian golden cat Catopuma temminckii is distributed from the Himalayas and southern China through Indochina, Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra. Based on morphological data, up to five subspecies of the Asian golden cat have been recognized, but a taxonomic assessment, including molecular data and morphological characters, is still lacking. Results. We combined molecular data (whole mitochondrial genomes), morphological data (pelage) and species distribution projections (up to the Late Pleistocene) to infer how environmental changes may have influenced the distribution of these sister species over the past 120 000 years. The molecular analysis was based on sequenced mitogenomes of 3 bay cats and 40 Asian golden cats derived mainly from archival samples. Our molecular data suggested a time of split between the two species approximately 3.16 million years and revealed very low nucleotide diversity within the Asian golden cat population, which supports recent expansion of the population. Discussion. The low nucleotide diversity suggested a population bottleneck in the Asian golden cat, possibly caused by the eruption of the Toba volcano in Northern Sumatra (approx. 74 kya), followed by a continuous population expansion in the Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene. Species distribution projections, the reconstruction of the demographic history, a genetic isolation-by-distance pattern and a gradual variation of pelage pattern support the hypothesis of a post-Toba population expansion of the Asian golden cat from south China/Indochina to the Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra. Our findings reject the current classification of five subspecies for the Asian golden cat, but instead support either a monotypic species or one comprising two subspecies: (i) the Sunda golden cat, distributed south of the Isthmus of Kra: C. t. temminckii and (ii) Indochinese, Indian, Himalayan and Chinese golden cats, occurring north of the Isthmus: C. t. moormensis.

description:
OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of Artesunate (AS) and its active metabolite, dihydroartemisinin (DHA) following intravaginal use at the dosing and frequency intended for cervical precancer treatment. A secondary objective is to assess safety among study participants. METHODS: We are conducting a single-arm, phase I trial with a sample size of 12 female volunteers. Participants will self-administer artesunate vaginal pessaries in the study clinic daily for 5 consecutive days. Participants will have their blood drawn prior to receiving the first dose of artesunate on day one of the study and then will receive 8 blood draws on study day five, prior to artesunate administration and at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, and 8 hours after pessary administration. Pharmacokinetic parameters of artesunate and DHA will be calculated by way of quantitative analysis of with determination of maximum concentration (Cmax), time to Cmax (Tmax), area under the serum concentration versus time curve (AUC), apparent clearance, and elimination half-life (t1/2).

description: Despite crossing genres and continents, strong literary connections exist between Coleridge's poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Poe's novella The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, and Melville's novel Moby Dick or the Whale. The works are similar in terms of plot, symbolism, and other artistic devices. Ties between any two of the works have been mentioned in literary scholarship over the last century, yet I have located none involving all three.

None of the present criticism has revealed that each work utilizes several important literary devices, such as a quality of incorporation of source material (including travel accounts, science, and religious motifs), the presence of a central spiritual entity driving the plot, and a complex pattern of symbolism pointing towards apocalypse.

Additionally, romantic theory, such as Coleridge's theory of the imagination, works to further elucidate the end goals of the quest. This evidence, when considered holistically, seems to indicate a particular literary mode, which I call the "Nautical Quest." Each work also holds strong evidence of the respective authors drawing on the previous pieces for inspiration and idea.

description: La construcción de un Estado moderno y justo requiere de una profunda reflexión y acción sobre sus cimientos políticos, económicos y sociales. En el caso de Colombia, esta necesidad es particularmente acuciante debido a la persistencia de desigualdades y conflictos que han marcado su historia reciente. Una refundación del Estado colombiano implica rediseñar las bases sobre las cuales se ha construido su sistema actual, un proceso que debe ser inclusivo y participativo, involucrando a diversos actores de la sociedad civil, como comunidades indígenas, afrodescendientes, campesinos, mujeres, jóvenes y otros grupos marginados. Solo de esta manera se puede garantizar que las nuevas estructuras reflejen verdaderamente la diversidad y las necesidades del pueblo colombiano.

description: Today’s generation of college students spends an average of 4.5 hours on the media per day, according to Concordia University. Research from the US Department of Health and Human Services indicates that within the past couple of years, there has been a vast increase in psychological, physical, and social effects attributed directly to the time spent on the media. The American College Health Association includes insights on how social media intake can be harmful to college students due to the time and energy spent on these online platforms. Different lenses of social usage will be discussed in addition to the role it plays in a college student’s everyday life, indicating that there is reliable data to exemplify a correlation. To gain data from a primary source, a survey was conducted with college students (18-22 years old) attending California State University, Fullerton. Students completed a self-report questionnaire that measured anxiety, depression, cyberbullying, body image, and overall media usage. With the primary data collected and the amount of current published articles, the findings will allow correlations to support given hypotheses, emphasize conclusions, and confirm inferences. In conclusion, there remains a strong positive correlation between the time spent on social media and the impact on college students.
