The Social Organization of Honey Bees by Ashley N. Mortensen, Bryan Smith, James D. Ellis

“…Colonies reproduce by swarming to create new daughter colonies that in turn thermoregulate, breathe, and reproduce just as a single autonomous animal does. In three pages this fact sheet explains the intricate caste system and age-based division of labor that allows colonies of humankind’s best-loved pollinators to function and thrive. …”

User-Generated Translation Community in Online Video Streaming: The Social-Digital Dynamics of YouTube-Focused Fansubbing Channels on Bilibili by Sijing Lu

“…Drawing on Bourdieu’s field theory reframed for digital media, this article uses Youzimu, a YouTube-focused fan subtitling channel on Bilibili, as a case study to explore how Youzimu fosters a self-mediating network for translating YouTube videos into Mandarin, and the extent to which fan translators reproduce the original YouTube videos through their autonomous endeavors. The results indicate that Youzimu’s self-mediated network is predicated upon the ongoing exchange of diverse forms of capital, affording fan translators within the platform a degree of productive autonomy in their translation efforts. …”

Prmt5 is essential for intestinal stem cell maintenance and homeostasis by Li Yang, Xuewen Li, Chenyi Shi, Bing Zhao

“…Mechanistically, Prmt5 sustains a high level of H3K27ac accumulation by inhibiting Hdac9 expression in the intestinal epithelium, and maintains the stemness of ISCs in a cell-autonomous manner. Notably, inhibition of histone deacetylases can rescue both self‐renewal and differentiation capacities of Prmt5‐depleted ISCs. …”

Walking into the wild. A transition to a co-evolutionary landscape by Adriano Dessì

“… This research paper attempts to shift the approach and the possible attitudes of architectural and landscape design towards an interpretation of ecological transition based on the dimension of the ‘wild’, that is, on the possibility that the transformation of places by man contemplates other and the most diverse forms of life, spheres of proximity in which human activities give way to third and fourth natures, which develop their own habitats in an autonomous, dynamic and vital manner. In this reflection, thinking about a ‘landscape of the wild’ means thinking again about the relationship between human and natural habitats, which develops on many levels that cannot be reduced and simplified in the impending phenomenon of ‘rewilding’, ranging from the possibility of giving shape to the spaces of nature, of creating new forms of shared spaces between man and living things, to the conception of minimal architectures necessary to stimulate ancient human practices (such as walking) and which are capable of developing new ecologies.   …”
