In recent years, the environmental impact of warfare has made front-page news. Discussions about “ecocide”—a term first proposed in 1970 by Yale biologist Arthur W. Galston to describe the large-scale destruction of ecosystems during the Vietnam War—have come into the spotlight. The preparation and conduct of war, along with the social, economic, and scientific reorganisation that accompany it, of
The congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) comprise a large and growing family of genetic disorders, characterized by hypoglycosylation of multiple glycoconjugates. Normal glycosylation requires a large number of enzymes and associated proteins acting in sequence to modify proteins and lipids by the addition of oligosaccharide side chains. This process is essential for normal development and
The 2025 Boyle Lecture explores the partnership between science, technology, theology, and spirituality in addressing contemporary challenges. Reflecting on historical and modern dynamics, it emphasizes the need for transdisciplinary collaboration to avoid cultural poverty and handle the current polycrisis in a world prone to polarization, populism, protectionism, post-truth, and patriarchy. The l
This essay reflects on the notions of objectivity and truth. Taking Palestine as an urgent political call and a precondition for a decolonial future, it argues that in the context of genocidal violence and the system-atic distortion of reality, objectivity and truth cannot be dismissed merely as tools of oppression. Instead, approaching them as counter-narratives grounded in embodied experiences t
Academic skills such as reading, writing, critical thinking and information literacy are foundational to university-level learning. However, although students often have a certain level of academic literacy on arrival, their skills do not necessarily match the context-specific requirements of higher education and often need to be explicitly taught. In contrast to ad hoc and isolated interventions,

This comparative study aims to analyze the ways Hollywood producers and filmmakers turn European films into ones of their own and why they are often reflected upon as being worse than its predecessors. The analysis primarily uses the French film The Intouchables (2011) and its Hollywood remake, The Upside (2017) as a way to explore this. This study furthermore investigates the reasons behind this
This study investigates, through the lens of the humanistic vita with its historiobiographical structure, how Claes Örnhielm, in Vita Ponti de la Gardie, formulates a systematic response to contemporary accusations concerning the legitimacy of the De la Gardie family’s noble origins. Through an integrated examination of the work’s frontispiece, genealogical diagram, textual genealogy and wider nar
This study explores how contemporary musical cinema might employ audio-visual strategies and religious motifs in the depiction of character development, focusing on the examination of Les Misérables (2012), The Greatest Showman (2017), and The Color Purple (2023). By applying the ritual theories of Ronald Grimes, Christine Bell, and Victor Turner, the musicals are viewed from the perspective of ri
Introduction: Animation transfers human races into animals, serving as a prime site for speciesism and racism.Methods: Testing this observation on recent examples, our quantitative/qualitative study delves into a nine-year (2016-2024) span of Oscar-nominated animated feature and short films. We theorize how to make incisive, quantitative/qualitative, balanced trans-species intersectionality the fo
Degenerative diseases related to aging, such as malnutrition, memory loss, and osteoporosis, develop due to a lack of appropriate components required at certain times for protein synthesis. Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is produced by the gut bacteriome and regulates several processes involved in protein metabolism, but mainly ensures the sparing of host nitrogen (amine group) and the synthesis of new
Epilepsy affects approximately 50 million people worldwide, and over 30% of patients are considered treatment resistant to currently available anti-seizure drugs. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been shown to inhibit excitatory synaptic transmission in hippocampal slices from human epilepsy patients via Y2 receptors (Y2Rs), and overexpression of NPY and/or Y2R in the hippocampus reduces seizures in roden
