Abstract Domestic politics matters in foreign, security, and defence policies, and helps explain national orientations towards NATO. This chapter looks first at domestic actors and processes. Actors and processes are usually studied separately under the rubric of ‘organizational’ and ‘party politics’ approaches.

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Evaluating demographic models for goat domestication using mtDNA sequences
, 2012 Routes of migration and exchange are important factors in the debate about how the Neolithic transition spread into Europe. Studying the genetic diversity of livestock can help in tracing back some of these past events.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microtubules play essential roles in numerous cellular processes. All microtubules are built from the protein tubulin, yet individual microtubules can differ spatially and temporally due to their tubulin isotype composition and post‐translational modifications (PTMs).

The Sustainability Revolution: How Generative AI Powers Ethical and Transparent Global Supply Chains
Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) can strengthen transparency and sustainability in global supply chains. Specifically, it distinguishes between (i) GenAI‐enabled sustainability reporting (i.e., automated generation of auditable narrative disclosures from multi‐tier supply chain data) and (ii) predictive ...
