Accusatory Whispers: Micro‐Politics of Irreconciliation in the Peruvian Andes
Bulletin of Latin American Research, EarlyView.In post‐conflict Peru, the ideology of reconciliation promotes the image of a pacified country, often erasing ongoing conflicts or reframing them positively as forms of resistance to domination. Drawing on the perspectives of Andean peasants mobilised for human rights, this article explores the ‘micro‐politics of irreconciliation’ in a post‐conflict ...

Successful first rehabilitation and release of an endangered Ethiopian wolf
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Wildlife rehabilitation is widely practiced to help injured animals recover and return to the wild, particularly benefiting endangered species that have small local populations. Here, we report the first case of a rehabilitated Ethiopian wolf that was successfully released back in the Simien Mountains.

Nocturnal pulse oxygen saturation dynamics at simulated high altitude: Predictive value for acute mountain sickness in healthy men born pre-term. [PDF]
Exp PhysiolAbstract The physiological sequelae of pre‐term birth might influence the responses of this population to hypoxia. Moreover, identifying variables associated with development of acute mountain sickness (AMS) remains a key practically significant area of altitude research.

Machine learning architectures to predict motion sickness using a Virtual Reality rollercoaster simulation tool [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Virtual Reality (VR) can cause an unprecedented immersion and feeling of presence yet a lot of users experience motion sickness when moving through a virtual environment. Rollercoaster rides are popular in Virtual Reality but have to be well designed to limit the amount of nausea the user may feel.

Ibis, EarlyView.The emergence of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 in wild bird populations in 2020 changed the landscape of this disease for seabird populations, including Northern Gannets Morus bassanus. In 2023, we photographed the three Northern Gannet colonies in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada (Funk Island, Baccalieu Island and Cape St Mary's ...

A Mathematical Model of Motion Sickness in 6DOF Motion and Its Application to Vehicle Passengers [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 A mathematical model of motion sickness incidence (MSI) is derived by integrating neurophysiological knowledge of the vestibular system to predict the severity of motion sickness of humans. Bos et al. proposed the successful mathematical model of motion sickness based on the neurophysiological mechanism based on the subject vertical conflict (SVC ...

The effects of different rates of ascent on the incidence of altitude decompression sickness [PDF]
The effect of different rates of ascent on the incidence of altitude decompression sickness (DCS) was analyzed by a retrospective study on 14,123 man-flights involving direct ascent up to 38,000 ft altitude.
