The challenge of the unique and unprecedented, comment on Agnihorti et al. (2021) by Bates, J, Lancelotti, C, Suryanarayan, A, Madella, M

“…We argue in this paper that there are concerns relating to how the multi-proxy analyses were applied to the objects that raises questions about the interpretation of these unique objects as ‘food-balls’, or even wholly organic in nature, and that as a result, their presumed ritual connotations in particular are difficult to sustain. Linking these complex objects with larger social and climate change models in light of these methodological analytical challenges will therefore require further analysis which we recommend in this response paper.…”

Lacan for the philosophical psychiatrist by McConnell, D, Gillett, G

“…The relevance of Lacan's thought for analytic philosophy of psychiatry can be explored by pursuing his links to Freud, his complex treatment of issues in the philosophy of language, and a subtle blend of existentialism and continentally inspired naturalism that paints the contours of the unconscious mind in operationally compelling terms.…”

Structural mimicry of the dengue virus envelope glycoprotein revealed by the crystallographic study of an idiotype–anti-idiotype Fab complex by Wong, Yee Hwa, Goh, Boon Chong, Lim, She Yah, Teo, En Wei, Lim, Angeline P. C., Dedon, Pete C., Hanson, Brendon J., MacAry, Paul A., Lescar, Julien

“…The crystal structure at a resolution of 2.5 Å of a complex between the Fab fragments of E1 and HM14c10 provides the first detailed molecular comparison of an anti-idiotype paratope specific for a human antibody with its analogous epitope, a discontinuous quaternary structure located at the surface of the viral particle that spans adjacent envelope (E) proteins. This comparison reveals that the footprints left by E1 and E on HM14c10 largely overlap, explaining why the formation of binary complexes is mutually exclusive. …”
