Sensitive windows for within- and trans-generational plasticity of anti-predator defences by Tariel-Adam, Juliette, Luquet, Émilien, Plénet, Sandrine

“…This suggests that transgenerational plasticity, although linked to within-generational plasticity by the embryonic sensitive window, may also be induced via a specific channel, independent of within-generational plasticity induction and expression. Finally, the late developmental window was never a sensitive window of transgenerational plasticity as it was theoretically expected. …”

Relation between occupation, gender dominance in the occupation and workplace and suicide in Sweden: a longitudinal study by Gun Johansson, Theo Bodin, Anette Linnersjö, Vladimir Carli, Gergö Hadlaczky, Nuria Matilla Santander, Bianca Blazevska

“…For women, borderline increased risk of suicide was found in female-dominated occupations (OR: 1.51, 95% CI: 0.95 to 2.40). Finally, men showed a borderline increased risk of suicide in female-dominated workplaces (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 0.94 to 1.81).Conclusions This study found that women in the ‘life science and health professionals’ group and men in the ‘metal, machinery and related workers’ as well as ‘personal and protective service workers’ groups have increased incidence of suicide also when adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, precariousness of the employment relationship, spells of unemployment, previous mental disorders and suicide attempts. …”
