ranging from yeast to primates. Here we survey recent findings highlighting the interplay of variousgenetic, epigenetic, and cell-specific factors, and also symbiotic relationships, as longevity determinants. We further discuss outstanding matters within the framework of emerging, integrative views of ...
In this work, we compare models with different evolutionary conjectures between social organization (i.e., solitary, pair-living, and group-living)31 and longevity across ~1000 mammals using a Bayesian framework. Moreover, we conduct a comparative brain transcriptomic analysis of 94 mammals to dete...
A market where short-lived customers, i.e., one-time shoppers, interact with a long-lived expert is considered. The expert privately observes whether or not a particular treatment is necessary for his customers and has incentive to recommend the treatment even if it is unnecessary. When the ...

1c), which is approximately the time span of short-term memory in Drosophila26, indicating that the aversive effect is persistent but short-lived. The aversiveness of exposed flies was affected by the number of dead flies included in the environment and the duration of exposure: exposed flies...
∎∎∎ Notes 1. Consistent with the most recent edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2019), and the preferences of individuals with lived experience of autism (Bury et al.,2020), we utilise identity first language. ...
Within a cause-of-death framework, two functions characterise and describe the joint distribution of survival timeXand type (cause) of deathK: the cause-specific force of mortality and the cause-specific probability density function. Using sex-specific observed deaths counts by single years of age...
Spatial orientation is essential for daily life, but it deteriorates with aging. The present study was aimed at investigating age changes across the adult lifespan in the self-reported use of navigation aids and everyday orientation experiences, as well
An attempt is made in this section to outline a multidimensional and multidisciplinary framework through which it becomes possible to study aging while respecting its complexity. The elements that contribute to constituting it are Urie Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theories of development [23], Mihaly Csi...
… To try and understand religious-ethnic families without attempting to understand their particular religions, logics, ethnicities, and/or lived experience would be to devise a theory of those families that is not actually about them. Unlike quantitative methodology, religion and ethnicity are not ...
