The metabolism of social subterranean rodents: adaptation to aridity

Oecologia, 1986
The social Damara mole-rat Cryptomys damarensis (124 g), has a mean (±SD) resting metabolic rate of 0.57±0.09 cm3 O2 g-1 h-1, within a thermoneutral zone of 27-31° C. This rate of metabolism is 43% lower than that predicted by the curve for rodents, and 29% lower than that predicted by the subterranean rodent curve.

Analyzing the Social Vulnerability Index With Metabolic Surgery

Journal of Surgical Research
The social vulnerability index (SVI) is a census tract-level population-based measure generated from 16 socioeconomic and demographic variables on a scale from 1 (least) to 100 (most) vulnerable. This study has three objectives as follows: 1) to analyze multiple ways of utilizing SVI, 2) compare SVI as a group measure of marginalization to individual ...

Self-Knowledge, Estrangement, and Social Metabolism

Monthly Review, 2019
Following two key themes in Karl Marx's thought—estrangement and political economy, in their relation to human self-knowledge—labor mediates the social metabolism. In this schema, organic (or functional) metabolism is distinguished from extended metabolism (or social organization).

“Metabolic Governmentality”. Notes on Neoliberalism and Social Metabolism

The notion of “metabolic governmentality”, understood as human population´s capability to rule and regulate the activities and fluxes that constitute their
