Bayesian Estimation of True Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors for Leptospira spp. Among Slaughterhouse Workers and Slaughtered Cattle in the Bahr El Ghazal Region of South Sudan. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Introduction Leptospirosis is a major but under‐reported zoonotic disease, and epidemiological data from South Sudan remain limited. This study estimated the true prevalence of Leptospira spp. exposure and identified associated risk factors among slaughterhouse workers and slaughtered cattle in Western Bahr El Ghazal. Methods A cross‐sectional

Rhythm Across Species: Situating Human Speech in a Comparative Framework. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci
We analyzed speech rhythms from 48 human languages using methods drawn from biology and linguistics. Interonset intervals across languages are surprisingly similar, with a median value of 2 seconds., despite substantial differences in linguistic structure and prosody. A comparative rhythm analysis shows that human speech falls within the range reported

History and genetic diversity of African sheep: Contrasting phenotypic and genomic diversity. [PDF]

Anim Genet
Abstract Domesticated sheep have adapted to contrasting and extreme environments and continue to play important roles in local community‐based economies throughout Africa. Here we review the Neolithic migrations of thin‐tailed sheep and the later introductions of fat‐tailed sheep into eastern Africa.

Occurrence and Genesis of Cold‐Seep Authigenic Carbonates from the South‐Eastern Mediterranean Sea

The Depositional Record, Volume 9, Issue 4, Page 844-870, November 2023., 2023
Methane‐derived authigenic seep carbonates are important archives to identify seep dynamics, the source of the ascending methane‐enriched fluids and their timing. To elucidate past seepage activity and dynamics across the basin, different seep carbonate morphologies (chimneys, crusts and pavements) retrieved from the Levant Basin were mapped based on ...

The Middle‐Eastern marriage pattern? Malthusian dynamics in nineteenth‐century Egypt

The Economic History Review, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 1231-1258, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Malthus predicted that fertility rises with income and that people regulate fertility via regulating marriage. However, evidence on the Malthusian equilibrium has been mostly confined to Europe and East Asia. We employ Egypt's population censuses of 1848 and 1868 to provide the first evidence on the preindustrial Malthusian dynamics in the ...

Microarchaeological approach to underwater stratigraphy of submerged settlements: A case study of Atlit‐Yam Pre‐Pottery Neolithic site, off the Carmel Coast, Israel

Geoarchaeology, Volume 38, Issue 5, Page 534-564, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract The investigation of submerged archaeological sites faces numerous logistical challenges in the recovery of stratigraphic sequences and, as a result, is often restricted to surface deposits limiting the application of geoarchaeology. This paper outlines a new integrated field and microanalytical methodological protocol to investigate deep ...

An argument for sparsity

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 347-362, June 2023., 2023
Abstract I consider the influence of the language used in anthropological analysis (the metalanguage). If in principle there are at least as many anthropologies as there are languages, then we must allow the possibility of seven thousand or so more or less incommensurable anthropologies.
