Cancer, COVID-19, and the need for critique.
Cinzia Greco, Ignacia Arteaga, Clara Fabian-Therond, Henry Llewellyn, Julia Swallow, William Viney
Jan 06, 2021
In this open letter we examine the implications of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic for cancer research and care from the point of view of the social studies of science, technology, and medicine. We discuss how...
“More and More Fond of Reading”
Clara Reeve’s (1729–1807) Gothic novel The Old English Baron is a node for contemplating two discursive exclusions. The novel, due to its own ambiguous status as a gendered “body”, has proven a difficult text for...

Scale Norming Undermines the Use of Life Satisfaction Scale Data for Welfare Analysis.
Mark Fabian
Apr 13, 2022
Scale norming is where respondents use qualitatively different scales to answer the same question across survey waves. It makes responses challenging to compare intertemporally or interpersonally. This paper develops a formal...

Galaxy shape statistics in the effective field theory
Abstract: Intrinsic galaxy alignments yield an important contribution to the observed statistics of galaxy shapes. The general bias expansion for galaxy sizes and shapes in three dimensions has been recently described by Vlah...

La démarche classique en anthropologie, qui consiste à lire ses
données de terrain à travers le prisme de l’opposition entre un groupe
humain déterminé et l’« Occident », est depuis longtemps la cible d’une

Primate Amygdala Neurons Simulate Decision Processes of Social Partners.
Fabian Grabenhorst, Raymundo Báez-Mendoza, Wilfried Genest, Gustavo Deco, Wolfram Schultz
Mar 04, 2019
By observing their social partners, primates learn about reward values of objects. Here, we show that monkeys' amygdala neurons derive object values from observation and use these values to simulate a partner monkey's decision...
Straightforward intermediate rank tensor product smoothing in mixed models
Tensor product smooths provide the natural way of representing smooth interaction terms in regression models because they are invariant to the units in which the covariates are measured, hence avoiding the need for arbitrary...
The Effects of Circuit Training and Mediterranean Diet on Superoxide Dismutase Levels
Clara Baker
Jan 01, 0001
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an antioxidant enzyme in the body that is used as a first line of defense against the free radicals that are naturally produced. If these free radicals (unstable atoms) were not neutralized by...

Be Happy
Psychological science is increasingly influencing public policy. Behavioral public policy (BPP) was a milestone in this regard because it influenced many areas of policy in a general way. Well-being public policy (WPP) is...
Democratising Measurement
Abstract Thick concepts, namely those concepts that describe and evaluate simultaneously, present a challenge to science. Since science does not have a monopoly on value judgments, what is...
Crosstalk between pluripotency factors and higher-order chromatin organization.
Pluripotent cells are characterized by a globally open and accessible chromatin organization that is thought to contribute to cellular plasticity and developmental decision-making. We recently identified the pluripotency factor...
Liver Injury Patterns and Hepatic Toxicity among People Living with and without HIV and Attending Care in Urban Uganda.
Introduction
The evaluation of the patterns of liver injury, derived from liver chemistry panels, often may narrow on probable causes of the liver insult especially when coupled with clinical history, examination, and...

Functions of primate amygdala neurons in economic decisions and social decision simulation.
Long implicated in aversive processing, the amygdala is now recognized as a key component of the brain systems that process rewards. Beyond reward valuation, recent findings from single-neuron recordings in monkeys indicate that...

Primate amygdala neurons evaluate the progress of self-defined economic choice sequences.
The amygdala is a prime valuation structure yet its functions in advanced behaviors are poorly understood. We tested whether individual amygdala neurons encode a critical requirement for goal-directed behavior: the evaluation of...
Gill developmental program in the teleost mandibular arch.
Whereas no known living vertebrate possesses gills derived from the jaw-forming mandibular arch, it has been proposed that the jaw arose through modifications of an ancestral mandibular gill. Here, we show that the zebrafish...
