Demogenomic modeling of the timing and the processes of early European farmers differentiation
2020
AbstractThe precise genetic origins of the first Neolithic farming populations, as well as the processes and the timing of their differentiation, remain largely unknown. Based on demogenomic modeling of high-quality ancient genomes, we show that the early farmers of Anatolia and Europe emerged from a multiphase mixing of a Near Eastern population with a strongly bottlenecked Western hunter-gatherer population after the Last Glacial Maximum. Moreover, the population branch leading to the first farmers of Europe and Anatolia is characterized by a 2,500-year period of extreme genetic drift during its westward range expansion. Based on these findings, we derive a spatially explicit model of the…
The Potential Use of Raw and Deodorized Non-Conventional Protein Powder in Human Food
2014
This study aimed to evaluate the potential use of a non-conventional protein source, a powder made from earthworms, as human food. Sensory analyses were done in order to assess the acceptability of cookies that were fortified with Eisenia foetida (Ef) protein powder. Cocoa and cinnamon were used as taste-masking agents. The acceptability of cookies fortified with deodorized Ef protein powder (off-flavor reduced) was also evaluated. We demonstrated that cocoa cookies can be fortified with 3.9% of raw Ef proteins and that cocoa/cinnamon cookies can be fortified with 5.2% of raw Ef proteins without any loss in their acceptability. Cookies fortified either with a raw protein powder or with a de…

Hunter-gatherers living in Europe during the transition from the late Pleistocene to the Holocene intensified food acquisition by broadening the range of resources exploited to include marine taxa. However, little is known on the nature of this dietary change in the Mediterranean Basin. A key area to investigate this issue is the archipelago of the Egadi Islands, most of which were connected to Sicily until the early Holocene. The site of Grotta d’Oriente, on the present-day island of Favignana, was occupied by hunter-gatherers when Postglacial environmental changes were taking place (14,000-7,500 cal BP). Here we present the results of AMS radiocarbon dating, palaeogenetic and isotopic ana…

Summary Objectives Neisseria meningitidis is the major cause of seasonal meningitis epidemics in the African meningitis belt. In the changing context of a reduction in incidence of serogroup A and an increase in incidence of serogroups W and C and of Streptococcus pneumoniae , a better understanding of the determinants driving the disease transmission dynamics remains crucial to improving bacterial meningitis control. Methods The literature was searched to provide a multi-disciplinary overview of the determinants of meningitis transmission dynamics in the African meningitis belt. Results Seasonal hyperendemicity is likely predominantly caused by increased invasion rates, sporadic localized …
Valoisamman tulevaisuuden puolesta : YK:n yleiskokouksen täysistunnoissa sekä toisessa komiteassa käydyt keskustelut kestävästä kehityksestä vuonna 2…
2010
Kestävä kehitys oli ollut kansainvälisen yhteisön toiminnan päämääränä 1970-luvulta lähtien. Ilmiön taustalla oli kasvanut huoli ympäristön tilasta. Asiaan otettiin virallisesti kantaa ensimmäisen kerran Tukholman ympäristökonferenssissa vuonna 1972, jonka jälkeen vuonna 1987 kestävä kehitys konkretisoitui käsitteenä niin sanotun Bruntlandin komission raportissa seuraavalla tavalla: "Kestävä kehitys on kehitystä, joka tyydyttää nykyhetken tarpeet viemättä tulevilta sukupolvilta mahdollisuutta tyydyttää omat tarpeensa". Käsitteestä tuli tämän jälkeen suosittu kansainvälisen yhteisön keskuudessa. Kestävän kehityksen edistämisen yhtenä pääarkkitehtina voidaan pitää YK:ta, joka järjesti monia k…
Velka on totaalinen sosiaalinen fakta
2015
Maailmantaloudessa kriisistä on tullut uusi normaalitila. 1990-luvun lopun Aasian ja Etelä-Amerikan taantumien logiikka toistuu 2000-luvulla Yhdysvalloissa ja vanhalla mantereella. Nämä kaikki kriisit ovat kehkeytyneet finanssitalouden keskeisimmän elementin, velan, logiikan mukaan. Velka ei ole kuitenkaan yksinomaan taloudellinen ilmiö. Pikemminkin se on valtasuhde, joka selittää esimerkiksi julkista keskustelua sosiaaliturvasta ja jäsentää ihmisten ajallisuutta. nonPeerReviewed

Dynamic Triggering of Mud Volcano Eruptions During the 2016–2017 Central Italy Seismic Sequence
2017
©2017. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. On 24 August 2016 a seismic event (Mw6.0) was the first of the long Central Italy sequence (ongoing at the end of 2017) of medium-to-high magnitude earthquakes, with nine Mw≥5 up to October 2017, and with about 74.000 seismic events registered after 1 year. The largest was the Mw6.5 30 October 2016 event near Norcia. After the major seismic events, 17 mud volcanoes erupted around Monteleone di Fermo village (Marche region). Mud volcano eruptions generally occurred a few hours to a few days after the main earthquakes, suggesting a seismic triggering. We analyzed the peak ground velocities and dynamic stresses during the three largest ea…
COVID-19 and Soccer Teams on Instagram: The Case of Corporate Social Responsibility
2020
COVID-19 has given greater importance to the role of social media in sport, making it an essential way for fans to stay “in touch” with their teams. At the same time, the pandemic triggered additional actions from sport entities with the view to prove their commitment to society in an unprecedented moment of crisis. Professional team sport organizations have indeed initiated corporate social responsibility actions to collaborate in the fight against COVID-19. To explore these actions, the authors analyzed 3,906 posts on the official Instagram profiles of professional team sport organizations of La Liga (soccer, Spain), from March 11 to May 11, 2020, classifying them as philanthropic, sponso…
Digitalization in Sports to Connect Child’s Sport Clubs, Parents and Kids: Simple Solution for Tackling Social and Psychological Issues
2021
Today, the topic of child’s sporting has become a crucial, not only because, in the 21st century, computer games and social networks are the most common way of spending a child leisure time (shift from sports to eSports took place), but also because in 2020, Covid-19 and the associated restrictions give parents even more stress on visits to sports clubs. In addition, sports may lead to unpleasant situations when a child is not successful enough in the particular discipline and is publicly criticized, thereby undermining his willingness to sport. We suppose that the trends of digitalization and some aspects of Industry 4.0, would be able to solve these issues at least partly, without requiri…
