Abstract A key factor contributing to the success of Darwin and Wallace’s theory of biological evolution by natural selection was its population-level perspective. This conceptual framework was not immediately adopted,...

Abstract Background Inpatient care improves and maintains population health but requires a clear understanding of the drivers of inpatient care utilization. In Germany, inpatient cases increased from 16.5 to 19.4 million...

El Mazo rock shelter (Asturias, Spain) contains a long and well-dated Mesolithic sequence that shows an extended human presence between 9 and 7.4 ka cal BP, including the climatic 8.2 ka event. This is evident from firep...

Abstract This study investigates the population history and subsistence of farming communities at the Erdaojingzi site (ca. 3700–3330 cal. BP), a well-preserved Bronze Age settlement located in the agro-pastoral trans...

The structure and function of many proteins are regulated post-translationally through glycan attachment. These glycans, assembled via competing enzymatic reactions, generate diverse glycoform populations – variants sh...

Population growth debates often posit that depopulation would reduce ecological strains. We explore that premise through the case of Japan, where population decline coincides with rising affluence, dietary change, and gr...

The coevolution of the human diet and gut microbiome has played a pivotal role in shaping metabolic, immune, and epigenetic functions across human history. Dietary transitions from high-fiber ancestral patterns to modern...

The article examines the protection of the rights and legal interests of demographically vulnerable population groups through the prism of their impact on the economic development and post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. ...

IntroductionA population’s demographic “type” is characterized by the shape of its age distribution. This structure provides insights into its behavioral ecology, such as how elderly individuals contribute to the s...

Abstract Background South Africa is home to a rich tapestry of cultural and linguistic diversity, with 11 official spoken languages and South African Sign Language recognised as the twelfth. While this plurality reflects...

The Olrog's Gull Larus atlanticus breeds only in Argentina and is currently categorized as Vulnerable. Knowledge of the location of colonies and an updated understanding of human activities that may impact their breeding...

The contemporary world is characterised by an escalation in military conflicts and political and economic instability, which have a substantial impact on the economic security of the individual. The ongoing war in Ukrain...

One of the crucial steps of identifying an individual is to determine their sex. The mandible, which is the largest and strongest bone in the human face, is a useful tool due to its significant sexual dimorphism. Two fea...

IntroductionWith the expansion of cervical cancer screening in China, clarifying the epidemiology of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) and co-infecting reproductive tract bacterial pathogens in underserved regions ...

Infections caused by Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates, such as hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), bacteremia, and skin and soft tissue infections, among others, are particularly challenging to...

Assessing ecosystem service values (ESV) and human activity intensity (HAI) is essential for ecosystem management and human well-being. Focusing on the southwest Guangxi Karst–Beibu Gulf (SWG–KBG), this study adopts ...

The traditional life cycle hypothesis believes that the aging of population will not only drag down the level of social savings, but also adversely affect economic growth. However, the human capital factor may change the...

The human capital accumulating the population’s knowledge, skills, health, and capabilities is a critically important asset for the economic sustainability and postwar recovery of Ukraine. Amidst the large-scale aggres...

Recent studies of the Middle and Upper Paleolithic in the northwestern Caucasus are focused on the research of relations between natural (climate and environment) and social (behavior and adaptations) factors that govern...

Studying demographic changes in past human populations is of great interest due to their role in processes of cultural change as well as the biological evolution of populations. Despite this, a general consensus about th...

Abstract This study introduces a novel nonlinear mathematical model by considering three dynamic variables: densities of human population and industries, and concentration of atmospheric pollutants. The formulated model ...

Background: With positive long-term outcomes, Latarjet process is often utilized to treat instability in recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. The congruent arc Latarjet procedure, a variation on the traditional surgi...

We present quantitative data on the impact of different causes of mortality in a Geoffroy's cat (Leopardus geoffroyi) population inhabiting a protected area and adjacent cattle ranches in central Argentina. Between Decem...

Populations of the South American sea lion (SASL, Otaria byronia) have been intensely exploited for leather and oil in different parts of its distribution range throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, generating large ch...
