New approaches to mapping the signs of violence and care in the migratory landscapes of silenced women
Currently, migration is posing a global challenge for the formation of societies and States, being a key factor of the feminisation of the phenomenon.When the migration process is...
Evolution of neuroanatomical diversity: A phylogenetic comparative analysis across vertebrates using MRI.
The study of the evolution of the brain across species provides a unique perspective on the sources of normal and pathological variability in the human brain – a major challenge fo...
Combining CT Scanning and Spectroscopy to Characterise Micro-Plastics, a Growing Threat to Seabirds and other Marine Animals
Plastic debris is now a major source of anthropogenic pollution with >5 trillion fragments of micro-plastic in the world's oceans, and can lead to deleterious and often fat...
The Effects of wages on patient safety outcomes
One relevant cost category in the healthcare system are wages.The hospital setting in Switzerland, where wages can differ widely, is attractive because it enables an examination of...
Contrasting Neanderthal and modern human subsistence practices across Europe 50,000-40,000 years ago: an interdisciplinary approach to micro-scale taphonomy and BACterial bioerosion on BONE.
The role of behavioural differences in the replacement of Neanderthals by modern humans remains a fundamental issue in human evolution.While recent archaeological and genetic studi...
The emergence of transregional networks in Europe (1886-1936)
European regionalisms did not emerge in isolation.Quite the contrary: the affirmation of regional identities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries – e.g., in Catalonia, Galicia...
Shifting perspectives: from macrophyte collapses (tipping element) to global environmental change mitigation agents
Environmental conditions in the Anthropocene are rapidly changing triggering important ecological shifts in the Earth system and approaching tipping-point levels faster than previo...
An ECOsystem function and services approach to advance coastal conservation: CYSToseira forests in the Mediterranean basin
Widespread replacement of algal forests with less-complex turf algae threaten the diversity and functioning of coastal rocky ecosystems and have prompted conservation and managemen...
Sub-THz Surface Acoustic Waves
The rapid development of not only optoelectronics and electrical signal processing for information and communication technologies, but also fundamental/applied science for nanometr...
Creating a Panoramic View of Emotion Communication
People communicate emotions constantly.They express their emotions, intentionally and unintentionally, through their behaviour, language, and body; perceivers readily observe and i...
Self-Centring Earthquake-Resilient Hybrid Steel-Concrete Shear Walls with Rocking Beams
Control of both structural and non-structural damage is of utmost importance in Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering.Alleviation of the structural damage and reducing collapse...
Current perspectives on adolescent mental health: within-individual, time trends and cross-national differences
There is no health without mental health.The foundation of mental health is largely laid in adolescence, and more than half of adult mental health disorders have their onset before...
Segments in animal vocalizations: A novel approach to understanding non- human vocal behavior
Research comparing human and non-human animal communication has made great strides over the past half-century, yet, aspects of vocal behavior remain unexplored.In non-human animal...
DNA methylation as epigenetic clock of biological age? An experimental test in wild birds
DNA methylation (DNAm), an epigenetic effect, changes with age in a site-dependent way.DNAm score, integrating methylation state at many sites, has recently emerged as a superior m...
Thermal imaging to assess individual physiological state in wild animals
Understanding variation in ability to survive and pass on genes (fitness) is central to evolutionary biology and conservation ecology.Fitness differences are largely explained by p...
Beta-decay studies with laser-polarised beams of exotic nuclei
The goal of the BeLaPEx project is to study β decay of exotic nuclei relevant to the astrophysical r-process.We will build the first European β-decay spectroscopy station dedicated...
Laughing together: the role of laughter and interpersonal synchrony in bonding and cooperation
Humans start laughing very early in their life, in response to tickle, play, or humor.Laughter is contagious, and seems to play an important role in bonding: Laughing together make...
Effects of permafrost thaw on the global nitrogen cycle: the role of thermokarst systems
Global change leads modifications in climate on Arctic regions, where temperatures have risen faster than in any other region on Earth.Those regions store vast amounts of soil orga...
Long non-coding RNAs that regulate glial cell function in the diseased heart
Despite progress in acute treatment, heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Current treatments fail to prevent cellular disease processes or to promote tissue...
Advance in Proteomics and Analysis of dyes and Recovery of Charred and Aged textiles
The analysis of archaeological textiles is a challenging undertaking.These precious remains have been altered to the point that discerning their composition requires the developmen...
