The Role of Companion Animals as ‘Sentinels’ From the One Health Perspective
One Health emphasizes the interconnection of human, animal and environmental health. As emotional extensions of humans, companion dogs and cats can serve as sentinels, detecting hazards that can help protect human health from the One Health perspective. When symptoms appear in pets, owners should notice the changes that may pose risks to both human and

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

Domesticating the UK's Hostile Environment: Forced Migrants' Lived Experiences of Making ‘Home’
Short Abstract In this paper, we analyse the lived experiences of forced migrants in dispersal accommodation in the UK, contributing to understandings of the policies and politics of the hostile environment immigration regime in relation to the domestic sphere. More specifically, our research addresses the relative dearth of work exploring the intimate

ABSTRACT This work reflects on the presence of a desacralized Buddha statue in the Museum of Chinese Art and Ethnography, established in Parma, Italy, in 1901 by Xaverian missionaries. The Buddha's hollowed back is a potent trace of the transnational interactions between these Roman Catholic missionaries and folk believers from the Henan region ...

Protein Structure Determination by Racemic and Quasi‐Racemic X‐Ray Crystallography
Racemic mixtures of protein enantiomers facilitate formation of diffraction‐quality crystals in centrosymmetric space groups that have quantized phases which simplify structure solution. Quasi‐racemic mixtures of a protein and its mirror image isomorph similarly facilitate formation of highly ordered crystals.
