摘要:Individuals encounter climate doom, extreme portrayals of climate change, on social media. While climate doom may be intended to motivate action, it may also be perceived as manipulative or elicit hopelessness. Yet, no research has examined whether psychological inoculation helps to improve recognition of climate doom or influences engagement with it on social media. In this preregistered study (n = 521), we tested whether inoculation improves discernment of climate doom and influences engagem...

摘要:The amount of variation observed among early complex societies has challenged efforts to understand their social dynamics. We advocate for a comparative approach that directly investigates the forces producing this variation. By holistically ranking 63 trajectories of societal change along five axes of differentiation, we characterize their development from a multidimensional perspective. Our analysis reveals that the majority of these trajectories align with one of six recurrent pathways thro...

摘要:Interfaces are ubiquitous in materials and play a central role in microstructural evolution and material properties. Although interface migration has been studied for more than a century and remains an active field, several foundational assumptions of interface kinetics remain largely untested. In particular, interfaces are commonly treated as massless objects governed by overdamped dynamics. In this study, we show that grain boundaries exhibit measurable inertial behavior under high-frequency...

摘要:While preserving tolerance toward commensals, dendritic cells (DCs) also orchestrate response against pathogens. The noncanonical RelB NF-kappa B pathway in DCs curbs tolerogenic Tregs in the intestine. Whether RelB-dependent DC regulations also impact intestinal immunity remains less clear. Here, we show that genetic ablation of RelB in DCs compromises IL-23-dependent immune response in the intestine, imparting vulnerability in Relb Delta CD11c mice to infection with Citrobacter rodentium, an...

摘要:Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the causative agent of gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted infection which is rising in incidence, with increasing drug-resistant strains posing a significant public health threat. To address the urgent need for novel therapies, we developed an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that targets this important human pathogen. We utilized Tridecaptin A1, a potent antimicrobial peptide (AMP) against Gram-negative bacteria that exhibits significant toxicity against human cells, limi...

摘要:Declining fertility and the emergence of very low TFR's in the Asian economies has increased the focus on how to change the direction of the fertility trend. Several countries in Europe and Asia have explored a variety of stimulus packages to increase the overall TFR. In this research we review those policies and examine one of those interventions which has the potential to stimulate fertility-the role of access to housing. The core of housing approaches to stimulating fertility is to make hou...

摘要:Reversing biodiversity declines will require redesigning agricultural landscapes and their management. Farmland abandonment and intensification are emerging as major drivers of biodiversity changes, and their consequences vary widely from negative to positive among continents. Despite decades of research on agricultural biodiversity, no generalizable framework has been established to predict these variations globally, hindering the development of effective conservation strategies. Here, we com...
