What Matters for a Good Life? A Novel Approach to Essential Preferences, Skills, and Personal Attributes
FELICITAS revolutionizes the way we think about preferences, skills, and other latent personal attributes (PSAs), estimates their heterogeneity along with its determinants, and pro...
The ontogenesis of abstract thought – higher-order representations in the maturing brain
Thinking about the world–what is and what might be–is fundamental to human life. The foundation for this world-understanding is laid in the preschool years of childhood.Around the...
An Ecological History of Eurasian Art: Natural Resources, Aesthetic Practices, and Early Modern Globalization
Works of art are repositories of environmental knowledge.Paintings, sculptures, and artifacts preserve material evidence of the use of natural resources like mineral pigments, plan...
Computational Mechanisms of Social Media Use in Youth
We have an urgent need to better understand the social media engagement of youth. Social media supports the specific developmental needs of youth, such as those for social connecti...
Computer aided de novo design of nanobodies
Antibodies have become major players in the pharmaceutical industry and were valued at 0.16 US billion in 2023.Traditionally, antibodies are obtained after immunisation of differen...
“(De)Colonizing Sharia?” Tracing Transformation, Change and Continuity in Islamic Law in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) in the 19th and 20th Centuries
European colonialisms encounter with Islamic law or Sharia, the main pillar of the pre-colonial legal systems in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), has had a tremendous impac...
Lipid Diversity at the Onset of Life
The origin of cell membranes is a major unresolved issue in evolution.Evolutionary biology points to the existence of primitive cells with compositionally diverse membranes that co...
Boxing Earthquakes and Faults in ACtive Tectonics
Large-magnitude earthquakes accommodate most of the tectonic deformations of the Earth along active fault systems.However, despite the occurrence of numerous earthquakes every year...
Cognitive variability emerging from gut microbiota diversity in an insect society
The animal gut microbiota is diverse, hosting multiple bacterial species whose presence and abundance differ between individuals.Over the past decade, evidence that the gut microbi...
Simulating coastal HydrOdynamics and particle tRansport procEsses
