Epistemic Normativity from an Evolutionary Epistemological Point of View

This paper explores how evolutionary epistemology can offer insights into the discussion of naturalization of epistemology and normativity. Living organisms have an inherent disposition to continue living – i.e., staying in homeostasis – which they accomplish through an anticipatory regulatory process called allostasis. Organisms only survive under certain conditions, and so their actions and pred

No evidence of colour-based microhabitat choice in a polymorphic marine snail

Microhabitat choice has been proposed as a mechanism contributing to the maintenance of colour polymorphism in marine gastropods, based on observed associations between shell colour and microhabitat in certain species (e.g. Littorina saxatilis). To examine this hypothesis, different colour morphs of L. saxatilis were studied following a mark-recapture experimental design to assess whether this spe

Tidally induced radial migration waves in Large Magellanic Cloud-like galaxies

Context. Stellar radial migration has predominantly been examined in isolated disc galaxies where non-axisymmetric structures drive the process. By contrast, while tidal interactions are known for having an influence, their contribution remains comparatively under explored. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the nearest disc galaxy to the Milky Way (MW) and currently interacting with the Small Mage

Stabilization of adhesions controls F-actin architecture in mechanotransduction

A cell’s ability to sense and respond to the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis, and its disruption contributes to diseases such as fibrosis, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer. Effective mechanical coupling between the plasma membrane, the underlying filamentous actin (F-actin) cytoskeleton, and integrin-based adhesion complex

Enhancing archaeological mobility studies : Bayesian-modelled isoscapes and high-resolution refinement of the bioavailable strontium baseline in southern Scandinavia

Mapping spatial variability of bioavailable strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) is fundamental to robust analyses of prehistoric human and animal mobility and provenance based on strontium isotope data. A key challenge is how to construct and extrapolate a baseline for specific landscapes to enable meaningful correlation with high-resolution archaeological data. This study presents a regional high-reso

Justice from Below : Struggles Against Corporate Misconduct in the National Contact Point System

For victims of corporate harm, accessing justice in the global landscape is fraught with challenges and limitations – but also contestation and conflict. This paper focuses on these issues by directing attention to the National Contact Points (NCPs), a nonjudicial grievance mechanism in this landscape. It explores the puzzle of why complainants, who portray the NCP as a mechanism that is unlikely

Gaps in tropical science from unrepresentative distribution of sampling and citation across natural terrestrial environments

Effective environmental policies for the tropics depend on accurate, representative scientific data. However, there is strong evidence from particular disciplines and regions that existing research is patchily distributed. Here, we show that poor representation of sampling and citation in some biomes and across key environmental gradients from all disciplines for the entire tropics may lead to fla

AI Improves Agreement and Reduces Time for Quantifying Metabolic Tumour Burden in Hodgkin Lymphoma †

Background: The aim was to evaluate whether an artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool for the automated quantification of the total metabolic tumour volume (tMTV) in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) could support nuclear medicine specialists in lesion segmentation and thereby enhance inter-observer agreement. Methods: Forty-eight consecutive patients who underwent staging with [18F]FDG PET/CT

Modernization on the Northern Fringe of Europe : The Historical Archaeology of Early Modern Sweden

The Atlantic world looms large in discussions of how the modern world emerged, and what modernization was about; but there have been calls to engage with these topics from the perspective of ‘margins’. Covering large areas of Fennoscandia, the seventeenth-century Kingdom of Sweden represented a northern end of urban Europe, but also encompassed the mythical Lapland, homeland of the Sámi and of nat

Metals of Metabolism : The Construction of Industrial Space and the Commodification of Early Modern Sápmi

In 1634, silver was found in inland Sápmi, on the present border between Norway and Sweden. The Swedish Crown had the ore extracted and a works for refining the silver was established in Silbojokk the following year. During the coming decades, two more works and many mines were opened in Sápmi. Sámi, Swedish and Dutch/German migrant workers were employed under restrictive conditions and in a harsh

The radial acceleration relation at the EDGE of galaxy formation Testing its universality in low-mass dwarf galaxies

A tight correlation between the baryonic and observed acceleration of galaxies has been reported over a wide mass range (108 < M bar/M⊙ < 1011 M⊙); this is known as the radial acceleration relation (RAR). This has been interpreted as evidence that dark matter is actually a manifestation of a modified, weak-field gravity theory. In this work, we studied the radially resolved RAR of 12 nearby dwarf

Challenged practice : transformations of Swedish governmental building around 1970

Swedish architectural modernism is intimately tied to thedevelopment of the welfare state, where the roles and work ofarchitects largely followed governmental building policies. Thepolitical and economical crisis of the late 1960s and 1970swas particularly devastating for Swedish architecture as theshortcomings of the welfare state were partly blamed on thearchitecture profession.
