Tracking urban human activity from mobile phone calling patterns by Monsivais, D, Ghosh, A, Bhattacharya, K, Dunbar, R, Kaski, K

“…From the calling patterns of about 1,000,000 users spread over different cities but lying inside the same time-zone, we show that the onset and termination of the calling activity synchronizes with the east-west progression of the sun. …”

The CRTC1-SIK1 pathway regulates entrainment of the circadian clock. by Jagannath, A, Butler, R, Godinho, S, Couch, Y, Brown, L, Vasudevan, SR, Flanagan, K, Anthony, D, Churchill, G, Wood, M, Steiner, G, Ebeling, M, Hossbach, M, Wettstein, J, Duffield, G, Gatti, S, Hankins, M, Foster, R, Peirson, S

“…Our detailed understanding of this pathway is poor, and it remains unclear why entrainment to a new time zone takes several days. By analyzing the light-regulated transcriptome of the SCN, we have identified a key role for salt inducible kinase 1 (SIK1) and CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1) in clock re-setting. …”

A rapid research needs appraisal methodology to identify evidence gaps to inform clinical research priorities in response to outbreaks—results from the Lassa fever pilot by Sigfrid, L, Moore, C, Salam, A, Maayan, N, Hamel, C, Garritty, C, Lutje, V, Buckley, B, Soares-Weiser, K, Marshall, R, Clarke, M, Horby, P

“…</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong></p> <p>The protocol was derived from rapid review methodologies and optimized through effective use of pre-defined templates and global time zones. It was piloted using a Lassa fever (LF) outbreak scenario. …”

The changing landscape of international financial centres in the 21st century: cross-border mergers and acquisitions in the Global Financial Network by Wójcik, D, Keenan, L, Pazitka, V, Urban, M, Wu, W

Outsourcing in global software development: effects of temporal location and methodologies by Looi, M, Szepan, M

“…Developing software globally using outsourced resources has become a common practice, with project teams often distributed in different time zones. In this study, we focus on customers that contract software development to vendors in temporally near shore or far offshore locations. …”

The rhythms of life: what your body clock means to you! by Foster, R, Kreitzman, L

“…Until we turned our nights into days and began to travel in aircraft across multiple time zones, we were largely unaware that we possess a 'day within' driven by an internal body clock. …”
