Eye tracking technology has become increasingly prevalent in scientific research, offering unique insights into oculomotor and cognitive processes. The present article explores the relationship between scientific theory, the research question, and the use of eye-tracking technology. It aims to guide readers in determining if eye tracking is suitable for their studies and how to formulate relevant
Symbiotic relationships between eukaryotes and prokaryotes played pivotal roles in the evolution of life and drove the emergence of specialized symbiotic structures in animals, plants and fungi. The host-evolved symbiotic structures of microbial eukaryotes – the vast majority of such hosts in nature – remain largely unstudied. Here we describe highly structured symbiosomes within three free-living
Understanding the origin of eukaryotic cells is one of the most difficult problems in all of biology. A key challenge relevant to the question of eukaryogenesis is reconstructing the gene repertoire of the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA). As data sets grow, sketching an accurate genomics-informed picture of early eukaryotic cellular complexity requires provision of analytical resources and
The present paper explores legal issues concerning connected objects used for health or health-related purposes and their corresponding usage of health and health-related data. It focuses on a patient/healthcare-user-centred perspective and researches the EU legal framework for health data and health-related data. Arguing that the legal framework, as recently complemented with the European Health
Patent Law is a legal field designed to promote technological innovation. Patent rights ensure exclusivity of rights to commercialize and explore innovation and in this sense are a fundamental mechanism to attract investment, ensure revenue streams and foster innovation. The relative relevance of patent rights depends on sectors of activity, business models and the nature of both the underlying in
Identifying patients at risk for metastatic relapse is a critical medical need. We identified a common missense germline variant in proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) (rs562556, V474I) that is associated with reduced survival in multiple breast cancer patient cohorts. Genetic modeling of this gain-of-function single-nucleotide variant in mice revealed that it causally promotes b
Peatlands are often considered carbon pools as they are critical components of the carbon cycle process. Evaluating conditions of the peatlands is important for climate change impact studies as there is a close correlation between the peat accumulation, carbon sequestration, and water depth of the peatlands. Hence, accurate and continuous monitoring of their conditions is crucial to evaluate carbo
Significant groundwater (GW) head decline due to excessive withdrawal is an essential hydrological concern in several major plains of Iran. The capacity of an aquifer to retain GW can be described through the storativity parameters. Traditional methods to define these parameters are costly, time-consuming, and sometimes ineffective. The storativity of an aquifer, irrespective of its confinement ty
The COVID-19 pandemic challenges expectations of retirement. In this paper, we ask: How is the retirement transition experienced in the everyday lives of older adults during pandemic as compared to pre-pandemic times? The paper draws on 15 semi-structured interviews with adults aged 60–75 years living in Germany within the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, which were analyzed based on social co
Today, the concept of security manifests itself in a number of forms in most scientific, social, environmental, and political issues. One of the most essential and prominent types of security issue faced today is water security, which has introduced a complex and new concept to the literature of today’s world. Not only has the current water crisis in most parts of the world increased the risk of m
Improper utilization of water resources has the potential to result in reduced availability of high-quality water and adverse effects on societal development. In fact, what appears to be a serious gap in comprehensive water resources studies is the lack of a coherent approach that can link different social, economic and environmental parts within the framework of the integrated water management pa
This study presents a novel approach for object detection and tracking in aerial images using a multi-scale Northern Goshawk Pyramid Generative Adversarial Network (NGPGAN). The research evaluates different algorithms and features to identify people, trees, cars, and buildings in real-world drone videos, addressing challenges in pinpointing specific objects among multiple entities. Object detectio

One-stop-shop (OSS) business models offering integrated renovation services, making renovation more affordable and feasible, are a requirement of European Union policies aiming in energy efficiency in buildings. The present paper offers an ex-ante (pre-implementation) and ex-post (post-implementation) evaluation of 37 OSS business models currently operating in the EU renovation market. The evaluat
The first issue of Journal for Person-Oriented Research (JPOR) was published in 2015, representing the first international journal specifically focused on person-oriented research. With this issue, the JPOR completes its tenth yearly volume. The status of JPOR as a truly international journal is reflected in the number of published articles from different countries. The number of submissions to JP
The purpose of the present chapter is to outline the principles of experimental phenomenology as an approach to research on spirituality. Experimental phenomenology is the investigation of phenomenological practices and their impact. Essential to phenomenological practices is that they involve intentional variations of experiencing by means of changes in the direction of attention and the choice oThe purpose of the present chapter is to outline the principles of experimental phenomenology as an approach to research on spirituality.
