Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology
Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.

Toward a “strong” normativity of fear in Hans Jonas and Aristotle
Abstract What does it mean to say that one “ought” to undergo an emotion? In The Imperative of Responsibility, Hans Jonas provocatively asserts that twentieth‐century citizens “ought” to fear for the well‐being of future generations. I argue that Jonas's demand is not straightforwardly reducible to claims about the fittingness, expedience, or aretaic ...

Abstract It is widely accepted that Henri Lefebvre's Marxism had anarchistic traits, but few have tried to specify what these traits are, or what they mean. This paper argues that Lefebvre's work should be seen as first and foremost an anti‐authoritarian theory that uses space, rather than a spatial theory.

Short Abstract Coercive animal labour is often state sanctioned as an ecologically friendly mode of sand mining, based on anthropocentric environmental ideology that sees animal bodies as solutions or fixes for often human‐caused environmental crises, even as, incrementally, it causes extreme ecological destruction.

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Abstract Dominant narratives of Cairo's waste challenges frame the issue as a consequence of overpopulation and unsanitary behaviour, advocating for technocratic solutions led by global private firms and technological innovation. These narratives, however, obscure the commodification of waste and the colonial discourses that justify waste's ...

Abstract α/β‐Silicon aluminum oxynitride (SiAlON) ceramics reinforced with zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF‐8) up to 20 wt% have been fabricated by spark plasma sintering to impart electrical conductivity without compromising the mechanical properties.

Abstract Vertical profiling of aerosol physicochemical properties, such as chemical composition, aerosol hygroscopicity, mixing state, is crucial for understanding their interactions with boundary layer evolution and their impacts on atmospheric environment. Traditional in situ vertical observations of those properties mainly rely on aircraft platforms,

The deep ocean as a major sink for terrestrial organic carbon
Abstract Rivers transport ~200 Tg of particulate organic carbon (POC) to the global ocean annually, of which 30% is known to be buried in continental‐shelf sediments. The fate of the remaining “missing” terrestrial POC (POCterr) remains uncertain, with proposed explanations including rapid remineralization or transport to the remote deep ocean.
