What in the world is global health? A conceptual analysis by Giubilini, A

“…Within public health, the concept of the ‘public’ has been widely investigated. However, “global health” has been introduced in academic, policy, and public discussion with comparably lower level of conceptual, philosophical scrutiny. …”

Human herpesvirus 6 and 7 by Drysdale, S

Encephalization is not a universal macroevolutionary phenomenon in mammals but is associated with sociality by Shultz, S, Dunbar, R

“…However, despite extensive evidence for variation in both absolute and relative brain size in extant species, there have been no explicit tests of patterns of brain size change over evolutionary time. …”

Reasons and reproduction: gene editing and genetic selection by McMahan, J, Savulescu, J

“…We argue that one reason to use gene editing is that in many cases it would be <i>better</i> for the person who would develop from the edited embryo, so that not to have done it would have been <i>worse for</i> that person. By contrast, embryo selection is never better for the person who develops from the selected embryo. …”

The Global Multidimensional Poverty Index 2022: harmonised level estimates and their changes over time by Alkire, S, Kanagaratnam, U, Suppa, N

“…More specifically, it contains harmonised level estimates and their changes over time of the global MPI and related sub-indices, which have been estimated for the 2022 release. For this Database all deprivation indicators have been harmonised over time.…”

Joint manifold distance: a new approach to appearance based clustering by Fitzgibbon, AW, Zisserman, A

“…The second contribution is the observation that previous distances have been computed using what amounted to "home-grown" nonlinear optimizers, and that more reliable results can be obtained by using generic optimizers which have been developed in the numerical analysis community, and which automatically set the parameters which home-grown methods must set by art. …”

Climate and biodiversity in the Andean Dry Puna by Bennett Manzano, M

“…There was no significant temporal trend in productivity in the study area since 1980 and NDVI variability was chiefly driven by ENSO conditions (lower during El Niño years, with dry and hot summers). At a finer scale, vegetation types responded to low rainfall in different ways; tussock grasslands were the most affected by low rainfall; wetlands and scrublands the most resilient. …”
