The Pareto effect in tipping social networks: from minority to majority by J. P. Everall, F. Tschofenig, F. Tschofenig, J. F. Donges, J. F. Donges, I. M. Otto

“…Finally, we provide practical guidance for facilitating difficult norm changes by (1) leveraging trusted community structures and building critical mass in clustered networks (particularly in the 10 %–43 % threshold range), (2) adapting strategies based on norm type and context, and (3) targeting groups with moderate preferences and network positions – avoiding reliance on highly central or well-connected individuals – to enable endogenous spread.…”

Polymorphism of the LCT gene regulatory region in Turkicspeaking populations of the Altay-Sayan region (southern Siberia) by I. V. Pilipenko, M. S. Pristyazhnyuk, V. F. Kobzev, M. I. Voevoda, A. S. Pilipenko

“…A decrease of the LCT-13910T allele frequency and the total frequency of its carriers in the Turkic-speaking populations of southern Siberia in comparison with the majority of European populations and the Kazakhs from southern Central Asia can be attributed to: (1) a significant influence on the Altai- Sayan population’s gene pool by Eastern Eurasian populations, for which the LCT-13910T allele is rare; (2) a lesser adaptive significance of lactase persistence for south Siberian populations, compared to the populations of Europe. …”
