Learning from Chernobyl: Reverse Colonialism and Feral Architectures

Aitor Frías Sanchez, Olena Orap, Joaquin Perailes Santiago

This article revolves around the concept of reverse colonialism and uses the fascinating example of Pripyat as a case study. Pripyat was deeply affected by the devastating Chornobyl nuclear accident in 1986. Following the disaster, the disappearance o ...

Influence of advanced footwear technology on sub-2 hour marathon and other top running performances

Raphaël Gérard Théodore Michel Marie de Deloÿe et Fourcade de Fondeville

In 2019, Eliud Kipchoge ran a sub-two hour marathon wearing Nike's Alphafly shoes. Despite being the fastest marathon time ever recorded, it wasn't officially recognized as race conditions were tightly controlled to maximize his success. Besides, Kipchoge' ...

Human genomics of the humoral immune response against polyomaviruses

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Zhi Ming Xu, Olivier Noël Marie Naret, Christian Hammer, Flavia Aurelia Shoko Hodel, Petar Scepanovic

Human polyomaviruses are widespread in humans and can cause severe disease in immunocompromised individuals. To identify human genetic determinants of the humoral immune response against polyomaviruses, we performed genome-wide association studies and meta ...

Skin lightening products' violations in Europe: An analysis of the rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products 2005-2018

Florentino Luciano Caetano Dos Santos

Background: Skin lightening products containing dangerous levels of chemicals pose a serious health concern for consumers. However, to date, the extent of these products in Europe has not been extensively studied. The aim of this study was to determine whe ...

Cross-species functional modules link proteostasis to human normal aging

Johan Auwerx, Hao Li, Vincenzo Sorrentino, Andrea Komljenovic

The evolutionarily conserved nature of the few well-known anti-aging interventions that affect lifespan, such as caloric restriction, suggests that aging-related research in model organisms is directly relevant to human aging. Since human lifespan is a com ...

Reverse-Engineering Satire, or "Paper on Computational Humor Accepted despite Making Serious Advances"

Robert West

Humor is an essential human trait. Efforts to understand humor have called out links between humor and the foundations of cognition, as well as the importance of humor in social engagement. As such, it is a promising and important subject of study, with re ...

Functional characterization of 3D protein structures informed by human genetic diversity

Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha, Julia di Iulio

Sequence variation data of the human proteome can be used to analyze 3D protein structures to derive functional insights. We used genetic variant data from nearly 140,000 individuals to analyze 3D positional conservation in 4,715 proteins and 3,951 homolog ...

In-plane permeability distribution mapping of isotropic mats using flow front detection

Véronique Michaud, Damiano Salvatori, Baris Çaglar

In-plane permeability of textile fabrics is often characterized by one-dimensional rectilinear flow experiments, displaying limitations related to potential race-tracking effects and the need to run experiments at several fiber volume fractions. We propose ...

Spatial distribution of mammography adherence in a Swiss urban population and its association with socioeconomic status

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Rebecca Himsl

Purpose: Local physical and social environment has a defining influence on individual behaviour and health-related outcomes. However, it remains undetermined if its impact is independent of individual socioeconomic status. In this study, we evaluated the s ...
