Kant on Bullshit Jobs—Mere Means and True Means

Journal of Social Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs, there has recently been academic and public discussion about useless work. Immanuel Kant maintains that we ought to be means for others and that there is a duty to be useful. Graeber and Kant are both concerned with a form of harm often overlooked in contemporary ethics and political philosophy, namely,

Comparative analysis of canonical and noncanonical rhodopsins in Amphidinium carterae and Karlodinium veneficum

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rhodopsins are ancient and versatile light‐sensitive proteins, widely distributed across microbial life. In dinoflagellates, however, their diversity and function remain poorly understood, owing to the lineage's extreme genomic divergence. Here, we surveyed the rhodopsin complements of two dinoflagellates, Amphidinium carterae and Karlodinium ...

iSPHYNCS: Unsupervised Clustering in Questionnaires and Metadata Reveals Distinct Subtypes in the Narcolepsy Borderland

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Study overview and clustering results in the iSPHYNCS cohort. Participant demographics are summarized in a baseline table. Questionnaire data and metadata were processed through an unsupervised clustering pipeline. A Sankey plot illustrates individual assignment across clusters by diagnostic group.

Confirmation of the impact origin of the Late Ordovician Tvären impact structure (southeast Sweden) and emplacement of impactites in a marine setting

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Tvären structure in southeastern Sweden has been listed as a confirmed marine‐target impact structure for decades. However, to date, no measurements and/or indexed data of planar deformation features in quartz grains from the structure have been published or any other unequivocal evidence of impact.

Federalism in Post‐Assad Syria: Toward Durable Peace in a Pluralist Society

Middle East Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Syria's civil war has left behind a fractured state. While the new president, Ahmed al‐Sharaa, seeks to unify the country and restore centralized governance, this appears unworkable. Instead, this article contends, asymmetrical federalism offers a pathway toward stability.

Explicit Tolerance and Implicit Exclusion: A Study on National Identity in Sweden

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While people in many Western countries report increasingly tolerant and inclusive attitudes, minorities continue to face considerable, and in some cases growing, discrimination and exclusion. In this paper, I propose that the gap may stem from a discrepancy between explicit attitudes and more automatic, implicit attitudes. Most people may want

Cyclophilin A‐mediated cis/trans isomerization modulates RIN4 to control intracellular rhizobial infection in legumes

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary In most legume‐rhizobium symbioses, rhizobial colonization occurs through host‐derived intracellular infection threads, which enable rhizobial recruitment while presumably modulating the host immune system to prevent rejection. To investigate post‐translational regulation of immune responses during rhizobial infection, we focused on Cyclophilin

Disagreement About Fiscal Policy

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Politicians disagree about fiscal policy. This disagreement should have economic effects beyond the effects of government spending and taxation. We use the full set of speeches in the German Bundestag since 1960 and apply state‐of‐the art natural language processing techniques to construct two series of fiscal disagreement starting in 1970 ...

Disruption of Asparagine Synthetase Is Associated to Increased Biomass in Lotus japonicus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Asparagine (Asn) constitutes the major form of nitrogen translocated within Lotus japonicus plants. In this work we use knock‐out (KO) LORE1 mutants‐deficient in the asparagine synthetase gene (LjASN1), which is the most highly expressed ASN gene in plants grown under non‐symbiotic (NS) conditions, but much less expressed under symbiotic (S ...

Alleles From Crop Wild Relatives Accumulated by Long‐Term Adaptation to Low‐Input Environments Contribute to Yield Advantages in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasingly variable climate conditions are affecting crop production, leading to greater yield fluctuations, which in turn are impacting global food security. Introducing alleles from regions where the expected stress conditions occur, so‐called exotic alleles, could serve as a means to mitigate these effects. We examined the value of exotic
