The Anthropocene thesis, in its rejection of both the modernist separation between ‘humans’ and ‘nonhumans’ as well as in its treatment of ‘humans’ as a singular global geophysical force, presents fundamental challenges to constitutional theory and practice. First, in terms of conceptual and foundational transformations, the Anthropocene provokes the reconceptualisation of legal relations as never

Steeds vaker kiezen landen ervoor om rechtspersoonlijkheid te verlenen aan onderdelen van de natuur. Deze korte bijdrage bespreekt die ontwikkeling tegen de achtergrond van het Antropoceen, het tijdperk waarin menselijke invloeden op de aarde voor mens en natuur bepalender en bedreigender zijn dan de grote natuurkrachten. In zoverre het verlenen van rechten aan de natuur bijdraagt aan het opheffen

The pervasive influence of human agency on biodiversity in the Anthropocene gives rise to several new challenges for national and international wildlife law, including questions regarding what is natural and what is alien. Ultimately, a new vision and new rules are called for but in the meantime wildlife lawyers and other conservation professionals must work with conventional legal frameworks. Str

Free-ranging domestic cats (Felis catus) impact biodiversity through predation, disturbance, competition, disease and hybridisation. Scientific knowledge regarding these impacts has recently increased. This article interprets the European Union (EU) Birds and Habitats Directives (Nature Directives) in light of this knowledge. The outcome indicates that various obligations in the Directives, partic

Neuroenhancement involves the use of neurotechnologies to improve cognitive, affective or behavioural functioning, where these are not judged to be clinically impaired. Questions about enhancement have become one of the key topics of neuroethics over the past decade. The current study draws on in-depth public engagement activities in ten European countries giving a bottom-up perspective on the eth

Spark discharge generators (SDGs) are versatile tools for producing nanoparticles (NPs) with tailored properties. This study combines Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Particle Tracing (PT) simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics® with experimental data to investigate the effect of various chamber configurations, including inlet/outlet positioning and chamber volume on the NP output. Five geometri

In de Urgenda-uitspraak oordeelde de rechtbank dat de Staat minimaal 25-reductie in 2020 (t.o.v. 1990) moet nastreven. Dit reductiedoel is ambitieuzer dan de Europese CO2-reductiedoelstellingen. Een aantal auteurs meent daarom dat de uitspraak mogelijk strijdig is met het EU-recht en dat hierover een prejudiciële vraag gesteld had moeten worden. Deze opvatting wordt door auteurs betwist. Ten eerst

Decapping is a critical step in mRNA decay, but the mechanisms regulating human decapping enzyme DCP2 remain poorly understood. Here, we reconstitute the human decapping network using full-length recombinant proteins and compare it to the yeast system. Unlike in yeast, we find that the C-terminal region of human DCP2 is not autoinhibitory. RNA-binding residues of yeast Dcp2 are not conserved in th
