At-least-potentially-non-contrastive transcendence in Tanner’s God and Creation in Christian Theology by Davison, A

“…<p>Kathryn Tanner’s <em>God and Creation in Christian Theology</em> is a foundational text in the expression of a Christian account of God and creation as ‘non-contrastive’: that God is so fundamentally incommensurable with the world as not to be in a relation of contrast or competition with it, nor distant from it. In recent years, theologians have celebrated and drawn upon Tanner’s work for its robust account of creaturely agency. …”

Elevated genetic risk for multiple sclerosis emerged in steppe pastoralist populations by Barrie, W, Yang, Y, Irving-Pease, EK, Attfield, KE, Scorrano, G, Jensen, LT, Armen, AP, Dimopoulos, EA, Stern, A, Refoyo-Martinez, A, Pearson, A, Ramsøe, A, Gaunitz, C, Demeter, F, Jørkov, MLS, Møller, SB, Springborg, B, Klassen, L, Hyldgård, IM, Wickmann, N, Vinner, L, Korneliussen, TS, Allentoft, ME, Sikora, M, Kristiansen, K, Rodriguez, S, Nielsen, R, Iversen, AKN, Lawson, DJ, Fugger, L, Willerslev, E

“…Here, by using a large ancient genome dataset from the Mesolithic period to the Bronze Age, along with new Medieval and post-Medieval genomes, we show that the genetic risk for MS rose among pastoralists from the Pontic steppe and was brought into Europe by the Yamnaya-related migration approximately 5,000 years ago. We further show that these MS-associated immunogenetic variants underwent positive selection both within the steppe population and later in Europe, probably driven by pathogenic challenges coinciding with changes in diet, lifestyle and population density. …”

Ontology module extraction via datalog reasoning by Romero, AA, Kaminski, M, Grau, BC, Horrocks, I

“…<p>Module extraction — the task of computing a (preferably small) fragment M of an ontology T that preserves entailments over a signature S — has found many applications in recent years. Extracting modules of minimal size is, however, computationally hard, and often algorithmically infeasible. …”

Why do rural migrant mothers in urban China digitally monitor their children? by Murphy, R, Wu, G

Simple ecological indicators benchmark regeneration success of Amazonian forests by Giles, AL, Schietti, J, Rosenfield, MF, Mesquita, RC, Vieira, DLM, Vieira, ICG, Poorter, L, Brancalion, PHS, Peña-Claros, M, Siqueira, J, Oliveira Junior, L, do Espírito-Santo, MM, Sarmento, PSDM, Ferreira, JN, Berenguer, E, Barlow, J, Elias, F, Cassol, HLG, Silva, RC, Ribeiro, SC, Medeiros, N, Junqueira, AB, Massoca, P, Ferreira, MJ

“…By modeling optimal successional trajectories, we estimated reference values for vegetation structure, diversity, and functioning. After 20 years, successful regeneration should reach a minimum basal area of 14 m². ha−¹, at least 34 tree species per 100 individuals, a structural heterogeneity index of 0.27, and 123 Mg.ha−¹ of aboveground biomass. …”

Russia’s power market reforms at the crossroads by Beyer, S

“…Looking ahead, this reform is crucial for the modernization of the power sector, notably for the renewal of Russia’s large fleet of thermal power plants which were built 50 to 70 years ago. Up to 2035, around 80 per cent of nuclear capacity will reach the end of its lifetime and 78 per cent of hydropower plants will be in need of refurbishment. …”
