By comparing the work-hours-related experiences of women in two countries that differ in their labor protections and their social-service provision—in other words, that differ in the extent to which neoliberalism holds sway—this manuscript sheds light on the implications of neoliberalism in terms of women’s working conditions.Specifically, we analyze the protections offered by each country that co
A long-standing enigma concerns the geographic and ecological origins of the intensively studied vinegar fly, Drosophilamelanogaster. This globally distributed human commensal is thought to originate from sub-Saharan Africa, yet untilrecently, it had never been reported from undisturbed wilderness environments that could reflect its precommensalniche. Here, we document the collection of 288 D. mel
The Ultrasound Velocity Profiling (UVP) technique allows real-time, non-invasive flow mapping of a fluid along a 1D-measuring line. This study explores the possibility of using the UVP technique and X-ray video-fluoroscopy (XVF) to elucidate the deglutition process with the focus on bolus rheology. By positioning the UVP probe so that the pulsed ultrasonic beam passes behind the air-filled trachea
Conceptual spaces have become an increasingly popular modeling tool in cognitive psychology. The core idea of the conceptual spaces approach is that concepts can be represented as regions in similarity spaces. While it is generally acknowledged that not every region in such a space represents a natural concept, it is still an open question what distinguishes those regions that represent natural co

The transformation of economies and everyday practices is more urgent, and yet appears ever more daunting as attempts at behaviour change, regulations, and global agreements confront material and social-political infrastructures that support the status quo. Effective action requires new ways of conceptualizing society, climate and environment and yet curre
