Improving tropical forest conservation in Africa

The importance of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) for better balancing tropical forest conservation and poverty alleviation goals is increasingly recognised. Yet, in Africa, poor understanding of the impact of harvesting on species’ populations and forest carbon stocks, together with little in...

ETHME: The Ethics of Mortality Measurement

There are around 55 million deaths in the world each year. How should we evaluate these deaths? Diseases and injuries give rise to both morbidity and mortality. Until the 1950s, epidemiologists were concerned with counting the number of deaths. Since then, evaluative measures concerned with the d...

Decoding Death and Dying in people with Dementia by Digital thanotyping

How can we recognize that a person with dementia is at the end of life? When we are dying, our physical, mental, and social abilities are gradually declining. No reliable method of predicting perceived dying currently exists although the technology is available (sensors, algorithms). The aim of...

Mapping and Direct Sequencing of the Non-Canonical Cap Code

From their creation to their degradation, mRNAs are under extensive regulation. This regulation is directed not only by their nucleotide sequence and their promoter but also by post- and co-transcriptional modifications attached to the RNA. One of the most ubiquitous of these modifications in euk...

Feminisms and the Mobilisation of Law in Gulf Countries

Abstract: Current literature have tended to analyze feminist activisms in MENA almost exclusively from the point of view of their effect on social change broadly defined, reemphasising the reifications of women as victims by sharia laws, the veil and repressive cultural and political systems.
