Structural variants, such as deletions, insertions, and inversions, have been increasingly recognized as important drivers of genome evolution, in the era of high-throughput sequencing. However, large-scale chromosomal rearrangements involving multiple chromosomes, including translocations, chromosomal fusions, and fissions, remain relatively understudied, especially outside of clinical and model
Domestication and artificial selection for desirable traits have driven significant phenotypic changes and left detectable genomic footprints in farmed animals. Since the 1960s, intensive breeding has led to the rapid domestication of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), with multiple independent events that make it a valuable model for studying early domestication stages and the parallel evolution of p
The Period genes (Per) play essential roles in modulating the molecular circadian clock timing in a broad range of species, which regulates the physiological and cellular rhythms through the transcription-translation feedback loop. While the Period gene paralogs are widely observed among vertebrates, the evolutionary history and the functional diversification of Per genes across vertebrates are no
This article introduces the special issue Animal Privacy, situating its contributions in the fields of animal studies and privacy studies. By analyzing how a focus on non-human perspectives can reframe understandings of privacy, this introduction highlights how the authors in this special issue add new perspectives on animal privacy in the context of technology and surveillance, ethics and consent
This article examines the benefits and pitfalls of using topic modeling to analyze discursive changes in sixteenth- and eighteenth-century German midwifery books. These periods were marked by transformations in the perspectives of midwives’ knowledge and practices, providing important insight into how midwifery was discussed as a field between private practice and public legitimization. By highlig
Modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have a rapidly growing impact on a wide range of human activities. AI methods are being used in varied domains such as healthcare, material science, infrastructure engineering, social media, surveillance technologies, and even artistic expression. They have been used for the purposes of drug discovery via protein folding prediction, power usage opti
This epilogue presents the main insights from Women’s PrivatePractices of Knowledge Production in Early Modern Europe, demonstratingthe key ways in which privacy factored into women’s knowledge-makingpractices. The chapter highlights women’s strategies of publicizing theprivate as a knowledge-sharing strategy, the role of the home in knowledgemaking in the early modern period, and the limitations
This chapter introduces the Privacy at Sea volume, demonstrating the contributions of privacy studies in researching early modern and maritime history. It provides a more dynamic understanding of privacy in the challenging environment of life at sea, focusing on the many strategies that enable people a certain level of negotiation and regulation of how information, bodies, behaviours, and accounts
This article addresses the ethical and epistemological challenges of interdisciplinary efforts through the interactional lens of proximity. How can we ensure interdisciplinarity in unequal institutional, disciplinary, and geopolitical environments? What does it mean to do research when epistemological frameworks clash between fields and sectors? Which echo chambers are perpetuated when we limit in
This chapter introduces the research area by proposing the angle of privacy to analyse the subject of everyday conversations in early modern Europe. Such conversations are especially hard to tackle, as they were very rarely recorded, either for being considered trivial exchanges or for dealing with issues that people preferred to keep out of public scrutiny. Nevertheless, through a careful explora
This epilogue wraps up the findings of the volume by weaving together key elements of the previous chapters. It first provides a summary of the different reasons for talking in private, locations where the exchanges took place, and expectations connected to private conversations that are presented in the case studies. The typically dual character of private conversations as a danger—but also as a
Understanding how affect interacts with the neural dynamics of syntactic processing remains an open question in neurolinguistics. While syntactic anomaly detection has been extensively characterised through electrophysiological markers such as LAN and P600, the extent to which pervasive affective states, or moods, modulate these components is still poorly understood. Existing studies suggest that
