In order to keep up with a changing environment, mobile organisms must be capable of deciding both where and when to move. This precision necessitates a strong sense of time, as otherwise we would fail in many of our movement goals. Yet, despite this intrinsic link, only recently have researchers begun to understand how these two features interact. Primarily, two effects have been observed: movements can bias time estimates, but they can also make them more precise. Here we review this literature and propose that both effects can be explained by a Bayesian cue combination framework, in which movement itself affords the most precise representation of time, which can influence perception in either feedforward or active sensing modes.

As large-scale agricultural investment has been rising, scholars have much investigated the factors that shape contestations against land grabbing. This literature, however, has hardly focused on the role of investing agricultural companies and their corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices so far. Vice versa, there is extensive research on the CSR-contention nexus for mining and other sectors, albeit with contested findings.

Bacterial resistance is gaining ground and novel, unconventional strategies are required to improve antibiotic treatments. As a synthetic analog of planktonic bacilli, the natural bacterial swimmers that can penetrate bacterial biofilms, ultra-short propelling magnetic nanochains are presented as bioinspired magnetic nanorobots, enhancing the antibiotic treatment in biofilm-forming Staphylococcus epidermidis. Propelling nanochains, activated by a low intensity (<20 mT) and low frequency (<10 Hz) rotating magnetic field (RMF), prompt the otherwise resistant biofilm-forming bacteria to become sensitive to methicillin, resulting in the killing of 99.

Dream is a mental activity that occurs during sleep. Its interpretation is common practice in many African cultures and this role is vested in unqualified persons, such as diviners, priests, and healers. Their unprofessional activities have led to dangerous consequences, such as anxiety, depression, loss of material possessions, bodily harm, family, or community conflicts, or even death.

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate morphometric changes in mandibular condyles of patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion following two-jaw orthognathic surgery planned using virtual surgical planning (VSP) and analysed with automated three-dimensional (3D) image analysis based on deep-learning techniques.
Materials And Methods: Pre-operative (T1) and 12-18 months post-operative (T2) Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans of 17 patients (mean age: 24.8 ± 3.
