Human Possibilities: The Interaction of Biology and Culture by Riane Eisler

“…The article describes the core components of partnership- and domination-oriented societies, provides examples of each, and proposes that our future hinges on accelerating the cultural transformation from domination to partnership in our time of nuclear and biological weapons and the ever more efficient despoliation of nature, when high technology guided by an ethos of domination and conquest could take us to an evolutionary dead end.…”

Better Alone or in Ill Company? The Effect of Migration and Inter-Species Comingling on Fascioloides magna Infection in Elk. by Mathieu Pruvot, Manigandan Lejeune, Susan Kutz, Wendy Hutchins, Marco Musiani, Alessandro Massolo, Karin Orsel

“…Serological evidence suggests that even in low-prevalence areas, F. magna is circulating in both elk and cattle. Cattle are "dead-end" hosts for F. magna, and this may, therefore, indicate a dilution effect where cattle and elk are co-grazing. …”

HBV DNA Integration: Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Implications by Thomas Tu, Magdalena A. Budzinska, Nicholas A. Shackel, Stephan Urban

“…One peculiar observation in cells infected with HBV (or with closely‑related animal hepadnaviruses) is the presence of viral DNA integration in the host cell genome, despite this form being a replicative dead-end for the virus. The frequent finding of somatic integration of viral DNA suggests an evolutionary benefit for the virus; however, the mechanism of integration, its functions, and the clinical implications remain unknown. …”

Understanding the Walkability Propensity by Marialisa Nigro, Marco Petrelli, Rasa Ušpalytė-Vitkūnienė, Daiva Žilionienė

“…However, extra efforts have to be made to study many other conditions that affect the propensity to walk: not just the shape of the network and the urban topology, but also the security and the attractiveness of the landscape, or specific characteristics of the infrastructure such as the size of the sidewalks, the automobile accommodation values (automobile and motorcycle parking) and the pedestrian route difficulty (slope and over length of the paths, dead-end streets). This paper aims to understand the walkability propensity, investigating explanatory variables related to the concept of the pedestrian path quality at the microscopic level. …”

Has Physics Theory Become Vacuous? by Henry Bauer

“…Honestly and with full disclosure, Sabine Hossenfelder describes in the first person her grappling with the dilemma that her profession, theoretical physics, appears to be determinedly wrong-headed, at an impasse, a dead end, going nowhere, for instance producing 193 models for the early universe and 500 theories to explain a spurious signal (p. 235).…”

The Good Food Jobs Nexus: A Strategy for Promoting Health, Employment, and Economic Development by Nicholas Freudenberg, Michele Silver, Lesley Hirsch, Nevin Cohen

“…In the aftermath of the Great Recession, cities have looked to the rapidly growing food sector as a promising source of new employment, and yet most of the sector's growth has come from low-wage, dead-end food jobs. A strategy to simultaneously increase food employment, improve conditions for food workers, and enhance access to healthy and affordable food to improve public health requires pursuing a "good food jobs" approach that supports policies and programs that advance all three goals. …”
