Bridging theory and data: A computational workflow for cultural evolution.

Cultural evolution applies evolutionary concepts and tools to explain the change of culture over time. Despite advances in both theoretical and empirical methods, the connections between cultural evolutionary theory and evidence are often vague, limiting progress. Theoretical models influence empirical research but rarely guide data collection and analysis in logical and transparent ways.

Strategic housing decisions and the evolution of urban settlements: optimality modelling and empirical application in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Investments in housing influence migration and landscape construction, making them a key component of human-environment interactions. However, the strategic decision-making that builds residential landscapes is an underdeveloped area of research in evolutionary approaches to human behaviour. Our contribution to this literature is a theoretical model and an empirical test of this model using data from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Differential effects of angiotensin II and aldosterone on human neutrophil adhesion and concomitant secretion of proteins, free amino acids and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.

Invasion and adhesion of neutrophils into tissues and their concomitant secretion play an important role in the development of vascular pathologies, including abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Chronic administration of angiotensin II is used to initiate AAA formation in mice. The role of aldosterone in this process is being studied.

[Problems in organizing neurosurgical care for patients with Parkinson's disease in the Russian Federation].

Background: Currently, there are some problems in the Russian Federation complicating development of neurosurgical care for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Material And Methods: In 2022, neurologists - movement disorders specialists were surveyed to analyze situation with PD pharmacological treatment and referral of patients for surgical treatment in Russian constituent entities. Data on neurosurgical treatment of PD were obtained by collecting information on the surgical activity of medical institutions in the Russian Federation.

[Detection rates and high concentration of herpesvirus (Orthoherpesviridae) DNA in autopsy materials from patients with COVID-19 fatal outcome].

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 infection causes immune disorders that create conditions for the reactivation of human herpesviruses (HHVs). However, the estimates of the HHVs effect on the course and outcome of COVID-19 are ambiguous. Аim - to study the possible relationship between the HHV reactivation and the adverse outcome of COVID-19.
