Lactulose selectively stimulates members of the gut microbiota, as determined by multi-modal activity-based sorting by Hamid Rasoulimehrabani, Alessandra Riva, Deniz Inan, Adnan Hodžić, Bela Hausmann, Georgi Nikolov, Sanaz Khadem, Norbert Hieger, Julia Wiesenbauer, Christina Kaiser, Verena Filz, Thomas Böttcher, David Berry

“…Moreover, we observed that lactulose selectively activates metabolically important taxa, including health-associated genera such as Faecalibacterium and Gemmiger1,2,3, potentially indicating broader functional effects beyond compositional changes. These results provide novel insights into the physiology and ecology of lactulose utilization by the human gut microbiota and underscore the potential of lactulose as a prebiotic dietary supplement.…”

Metaanalyzing Foucault’s Archaeology Theory by Masoud Zare Mehrjardy, Ali Yousofi, Saeideh Mirabi

“…This model is a selection of Ritzer’s meta-theoretical logic (including four external-social, internal-social, external-intellectual, and internal-intellectual approaches) and Chalabi’s conceptual package (including four analytical elements of theory including theory-building equipment, theoretical claims range, theoretical functions, and Theoretical construction). The results show that although archeology is less important to researchers than genealogy; however, in addition to being an efficient theoretical approach to historical, sociological research, it provides a different perspective on society, history, knowledge, and knowledge; It is also a methodological approach with separate guidelines and with a fluid and flexible structure that can be used effectively in dynamic sociological, historical research and make it dynamic. …”
