Othello Goes to Lisbon, 1765
This note documents the shipment of two copies of Shakespeare’s Othello to Lisbon in 1765. If the copies arrived—and there is no reason to believe that they did not—they constitute the earliest documented circulation of a ...
Optimal collective durotaxis through E-cadherin adhesions
The directed migration of cellular clusters enables morphogenesis, wound healing, and collective cancer invasion. Gradients of substrate stiffness are known to direct the migration of cellular clusters in a process called ...

Educlima: Medir el impacto positivo de las acciones realizadas para mitigar el cambio climático. Educación climática en la Universidad y desde la Universidad es el resultado del trabajo conjunto de 21 docentes e investigadores ...
Purpose-driven Organizations: Management Ideas for a Better World
Presents a wider definition of purpose based on three dimensions of knowledge, motivation and action Explains how to develop purpose-driven management systems including agile systems, subordinate missions, and purpose-driven ...
Management by Missions: Connecting People to Strategy through Purpose
Offers practical tools and models underscored by years of rigorous research This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access Evolves the traditional concept of 'mission' to a broader concept ...
Transfer learning based on atomic feature extraction for the prediction of experimental <sup>13</sup>C chemical shifts
Forecasting experimental chemical shifts of organic compounds is a long-standing challenge in organic chemistry. Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have led to routines that surpass the accuracy of ab initio Density ...
Decision-making in choosing an effective celebrity endorsement strategy using fuzzy forgotten effects: a cross-cultural study
The main purpose of this study is to develop models that illustrate the impact of celebrity endorsement on consumer purchase intention, taking into consideration the important dimension of culture: individualism (Spain) ...
Pre-travel experiential tourism communication: A study of Catalonia and Veneto
In response to the growing complexity of consumer choices, there has been a noticeable shift towards experiential marketing in travel destinations. This study focuses on Catalonia, Spain, and Veneto, Italy, examining how ...
“I’ve never thought about it this way”: The Process and Positive Implications of Co-creation on Teacher Education about Prevention of Gender-Based Violence
The scientific literature has shown evidence of how, given the increase in gender violence at an early age, didactic materials on its prevention should be based on scientific evidence. However, how scientific evidence is ...
Factorial and cultural validity of a social and emotional behavior measure in Northern Ghana
In a large sample of children in northern Ghana (<em>N</em> = 4,723), we investigated the factorial validity and reliability of the widely used parent-report Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Confirmatory ...
Degrowth scenarios for biodiversity? Key methodological steps and a call for collaboration
Studies show that economic growth contributes to biodiversity loss and that, after a certain threshold, it does not contribute to wellbeing. Thus, when developing biodiversity scenarios, considering societal futures where ...
Deep Learning Segmentation of the Right Ventricle in Cardiac MRI: The M&Ms Challenge
In recent years, several deep learning models have been proposed to accurately quantify and diagnose cardiac pathologies. These automated tools heavily rely on the accurate segmentation of cardiac structures in MRI images. ...
Microbial and physicochemical parameters associated with Legionella contamination in hot water recirculation systems
Hot water recirculation systems (HWRS) in hotels and nursing homes, which are common in countries such as Spain, have been related to outbreaks of legionellosis. To establish the relationships of microbial and physicochemical ...
Trends in Urban Wild Meat Trade of Chelonians (Turtles and Tortoises) in the Peruvian Amazon
Culturally, chelonians are important sources of nutrition and income for rural and urban people in tropical rainforests, but urban trade can cause declines in wild populations. This study analyses the urban chelonian trade ...
Association of polygenic score and the involvement of cholinergic and glutamatergic pathways with lithium treatment response in patients with bipolar disorder
Lithium is regarded as the first-line treatment for bipolar disorder (BD), a severe and disabling mental health disorder that affects about 1% of the population worldwide. Nevertheless, lithium is not consistently effective, ...
Impact of hydrocarbon extraction on heavy metal concentrations in lowland paca (Cuniculus paca) from the Peruvian Amazon
Oil has been extracted from the Western Amazon since the 1920s, leading to severe environmental contamination due to frequent occurrence oil spills and the dumping of produced water. Local inhabitants, along with environmental ...
Evaluating biotic interactions in a hard and fragile ecosystem: xerophilous land snails and epilithic cryptogram communities in rocky outcrops
In biodiversity hotspots like rocky outcrops, species distribution is shaped by environmental factors at multiple scales, with microhabitat characteristics like substrate composition and shelter playing key roles. These ...
Prolonged drought constrains pine cone production but not its consumption
Seed production is vital for plant recruitment, shaped by tree traits, climate, and biotic pressures. Droughts can strongly affect reproductive processes, with cascading effects on squirrels. Their feeding behaviour responds ...

Resum: Les molleres pirinenques, aiguamolls d’alta muntanya, han estat pasturades des d’antic. Actualment són freqüents les molleres amb símptomes de sobrepastura, sobretot per la freqüentació de ramats bovins. La sobrepastura ...
Linking the pressure dependence of the structure and thermal stability to a- and ß-relaxations in metallic glasses
Glasses derive their functional properties from complex relaxation dynamics that remain enigmatic under extreme conditions. Although the temperature dependence of these relaxation processes is well established, their ...
