'How do you sleep at night knowing all this?': climate breakdown, sleep, and extractive capitalism in contemporary literature and culture.
Textual Pract

Humanities Department, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
Contributing to the emerging field of critical sleep studies, and developing an intervention situated at the intersection of the environmental and the medical humanities, this article considers a range of contemporary texts: Jenny Offill's realist novel (2020), Karen Russell's (2014), Cherie Dimaline's (2017) and (2021) - three examples of the 'sleep-apocalypse' genre - Finegan Kruckemeyer's play (2021), and the Perfect Sleep app by Tega Brain and Sam Lavigne (2021). I show how these texts do not just simply reflect the negative effects that climate change has on sleep health, which are manifold, as scientific research evidences. Rather, cultural production arguably draws attention to structural parallels between the climate crisis and the so-called sleep crisis, namely, contemporary society's presumed widespread sleep deprivation and rise in sleep disorders.

The majority of indie game development teams are driven by the desire to produce a blockbuster game. But there are many obstacles on the way to realizing this desire, especially in the beginning. It is possible to create a game alone, but more often than not, something genuinely amazing involves a group of talented people working together toward a similar objective.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how artificial light at night (ALAN) influences the behavior of Chaoborus flavicans insect larvae in open water habitats, particularly their distribution relative to predation risk and oxygen levels.
- During the day, these larvae hide in deep, dark waters to avoid fish, but at night, they are drawn to richer surface waters despite potential dangers.
- Experiments show that ALAN from street lights attracts fish and pushes Chaoborus to occupy mid-depth zones with limited oxygen instead of moving to safer anoxic depths, likely due to a balancing act between avoiding predators and meeting their oxygen needs.
Detection of Anaplasma spp. and Ehrlichia spp. in dogs from a veterinary teaching hospital in Italy: a retrospective study 2012-2020.

Article Synopsis
- * Out of 1,322 tested dogs, 7.1% were positive for at least one pathogen, with A. phagocytophilum and E. canis being the most common, while the positivity rate decreased over time.
- * The study found inconsistencies between diagnostic tests, highlighting the need for a combination of serological and molecular methods for accurate diagnosis, and identified breed predispositions for certain infections.
Red piranha optimization (RPO): a natural inspired meta-heuristic algorithm for solving complex optimization problems.

An optimization algorithm is a step-by-step procedure which aims to achieve an optimum value (maximum or minimum) of an objective function. Several natural inspired meta-heuristic algorithms have been inspired to solve complex optimization problems by utilizing the potential advantages of swarm intelligence. In this paper, a new nature-inspired optimization algorithm which mimics the social hunting behavior of Red Piranha is developed, which is called Red Piranha Optimization (RPO).
