Alcohol-related mortality by ethnic origin of natives: a prospective cohort study based on multigenerational population register data from Finland and Sweden by Jan Saarela, Martin Kolk

“…The corresponding hazard rate for women was 0.50 (95% CI: 0.31 to 0.79). In both countries, persons with mixed background had an alcohol-related mortality rate between that of persons with uniform Finnish and Swedish background.Conclusion The consistent pattern across countries necessitates increased policy attention towards offspring disadvantaged via parental ethnicity to minimise harmful consequences of alcohol consumption across and within ethnic groups.…”

Conspiracy Theories, Messianic Populism and Everyday Social Media Use in Contemporary Brazil: a Glocal Semiotic Perspective by Paolo Demuru

“…Using a semiotic approach to glocalization, I tackle one recurrent motif of global conspiracy theories: the domination of the elites over the people, which contributed to the election of Jair Bolsonaro in 2018, as well as to the rise of his approval rating in 2019 and 2020. I argue that this particular narrative feature has taken on, in Bolsonaro’s case, shapes and tones which are directly related to the local religious semiosphere, especially the Neo-Pentecostal evangelical messianism: indeed, the image of Bolsonaro as a national messiah is characterized by a high rate of mysticism, eschatology and aesthesic load, which are three of the main distinctive traits in Brazilian evangelicalism. …”

The role of spatially controlled cell proliferation in limb bud morphogenesis. by Bernd Boehm, Henrik Westerberg, Gaja Lesnicar-Pucko, Sahdia Raja, Michael Rautschka, James Cotterell, Jim Swoger, James Sharpe

“…By developing a parameter optimization approach (which explores spatial patterns of tissue growth) our computer simulations reveal that the observed distribution of proliferation rates plays no significant role in controlling the distally extending limb shape, and suggests that directional cell activities are likely to be the driving force behind limb bud outgrowth. …”

New perspectives under heterogeneity: mechanism of nutrient heterogeneity on Cd-induced hormesis of soil respiration by Qian Gao, Jiangshan Yang, Junyang Wu, Yongli Zhu, Yongli Zhu, Diwu Fan, Jiangang Han, Jiangang Han

“…To examine the effects of nutrient spatial heterogeneity on the hormesis of soil ecosystem under cadmium (Cd) stress, we constructed three patches with different spatial nutrient distribution but the same total nutrient content through different spatial discharge patterns. Different levels of Cd stress were applied to the patches, and after incubation, soil respiration rate, content of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and metagenomic characteristics were measured. …”
