In this work we are presenting a database structure to encode the phenomenon of differential possession across languages, considering noun possession classes and possessive constructions as independent but linked. We show how this structure can be used to study different dimensions of possession: semantics, noun valence, and possessive constructions. We present preliminary survey results from a global sample of 120 languages and show that there is a universal semantic core in both inalienable and non-possessible noun classes. Inalienables are centered on body parts and kinship. Non-possessibles are centered on animals, humans, and natural elements.

Home-making or home harms: Perceived and experienced tensions between domestic materiality and ageing.
J Aging Stud
December 2024
NIHR Policy Research Unit in Health and Social Care Workforce, The Policy Institute, King's College London, Virginia Woolf Building, 22 Kingsway, London WC2B 6LE, UK. Electronic address:
Home, as a physical place and psychological construct, is often thought of as being an important locus of ontological security across the life course. However, there is a growing awareness of a darker side to the home (see Gurney, 2021), and home-unmaking practices (see Baxter and Brickell, 2014) that challenge the assumptions of home being purely a place of shelter, comfort, and control and instead foreground the temporal, material, and spatial fluidity of the home, and tensions between privacy and the ability to engage in health-harming behaviours largely unnoticed. Here, a material gerontological approach enables a rethinking of how home, and the household objects contained within, can both promote and undermine well-being as we age.

Key Laboratory of Polyoxometalate Science of Ministry of Education, Department of Chemistry, Northeast Normal University, Changchun, Jilin, 130024, P. R. China.
Article Synopsis
- Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are crystalline materials made from organic building blocks that are held together by hydrogen bonds, making them flexible and reversible.
- A new 3D HOF called PgC-HOF is created from a large organic molecule cage, featuring honeycomb-shaped channels and relying on strong multipoint hydrogen bonding to maintain its structure.
- By adding calcium ions, the structure is transformed into a metal-organic framework (PgC-MOF), increasing the channel size and enhancing its ability to adsorb materials reversibly.
Japanese version of the food allergy quality of life questionnaire 10: An easy-to-use instrument.
World Allergy Organ J
November 2024
Allergy Center, National Center for Child Health and Development, Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: The health-related quality of life (HRQL) of people with food allergies should be evaluated to provide high-quality medical care. Currently, there is no available easy-to-use and reliable instrument for assessing HRQL clinically in Japan.
Methods: The Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire 10 (FAQLQ10) in English was translated into Japanese, and this was referred to as the Japanese version of the Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire 10 (FAQLQ10-J).
Supporting adherence to the cystic fibrosis regimen: Development and validation of The Daily Care Check-In (DCC).
J Cyst Fibros
October 2024
University of Miami, Department of Psychology, Miami FL, USA.
Background: The cystic fibrosis (CF) regimen is time-consuming and burdensome leading to barriers to self-management. This mixed-methods study developed the Daily Care Check-in (DCC) that is specific to the barriers faced by people with CF (PWCF) and evaluated its validity.
Methods: Qualitative methods were used to identify barriers to self-management and develop items, with "think aloud" cognitive interviews conducted to refine the items.
Anion Recognition-Directed Supramolecular Catalysis with Functional Macrocycles and Molecular Cages.
Acc Chem Res
November 2024
Beijing National Laboratory for Molecular Sciences, CAS Key Laboratory of Molecular Recognition and Function, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the advancements in supramolecular chemistry, particularly focusing on how host molecules and noncovalent interactions can enhance catalytic processes through supramolecular catalysis.
- It highlights the significance of macrocyclic and cage-like compounds which mimic enzymes and possess unique recognition features, emphasizing the underutilization of directional binding sites in traditional host molecules.
- The study introduces a novel approach using tailor-made functionalized macrocycles and cages specifically designed for anion recognition, which enhances catalytic efficiency and stereocontrol in reactions by leveraging strong anion binding and cooperative interactions.
