Towards an understanding of the impact of micro- and macro-manifestations of religiosity on climate change risk perception: a cross-national study
Abstract Introduction: This study examines how religion shapes climate change risk perception at individual and national levels across 28 countries, addressing gaps in cross-national research on religiosity and environmental attitudes.
When My Mind Split in Three: A Consciousness Shift While Listening to Music
One night, while lying in bed with headphones on, I experienced something I’ve never forgotten. I wasn’t dreaming. I wasn’t meditating. I was just listening – deeply – to music. And yet something in my attention fractured, multiplied, and then opened into a space I didn’t know existed. It happened during “Glory Box” by Portishead. My MP3 player was set to surround sound with wide stereo.

LETTER: Boys shouldn’t hit girls
Have you followed the Olympics this year? Perhaps most of us, myself included, stopped paying attention after the satanic opening ceremonies. However, I did check in on ladies boxing recently and was disappointed to find that the Olympic committee actually gave the woman's boxing gold medal to a man. No joke. He's an Algerian man named Imane Kehlif. In his first fight at this year's Olympics, he ended the fight with one punch.
The Real Reason You Should Stop Multitasking
The myth, the hidden cost, the cost and the alternative. We live in an era where productivity is the most valuable currency. We are constantly bombarded with the idea that getting more done in less time is the key to success. In this context, multitasking has been glorified as the ultimate skill for those seeking to excel in a world that never stands still.
Mercy Global Consult Ltd v Adegbuyi
Mercy Global Consult Ltd employed healthcare professionals whose services were seconded to recruitment agencies which in turn sub-seconded their services to end users, in most cases an NHS trust. The arrangements were subject to elaborate charging methods and gave rise to complex tax considerations. HMRC carried out an investigation into the company’s activities which resulted in its raising assessments for under-declared VAT totalling some £21 million.
Chemogenetic Disconnection between the Orbitofrontal Cortex and the Rostromedial Caudate Nucleus Disrupts Motivational Control of Goal-Directed Action
Animals Two male macaque monkeys participated in the experiments, MK#1, rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta), 7.3 kg, age 10.3 years at the start of experiments and MK#2, Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata), 6.1 kg, age 4.4 years at the start of experiments.
Chemogenetic Disconnection between the Orbitofrontal Cortex and the Rostromedial Caudate Nucleus Disrupts Motivational Control of Goal-Directed Action
Research Articles, Behavioral/Cognitive Journal of Neuroscience JN-RM-0229-22; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0229-22.2022 Abstract The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and its major downstream target within the basal ganglia—the rostromedial caudate nucleus (rmCD)—are involved in reward-value processing and goal-directed behavior. However, a causal contribution of the pathway linking these two structures to goal-directed behavior has not been established.
Mortimer Mishkin (1926-2021): A life of science with humility and grace
Main text Mort Mishkin’s career started in Donald Hebb’s office in 1947. Hebb was a newly appointed assistant professor at McGill University, having just arrived from the Yerkes primate research institute in Orange Park, Florida, where he had worked with Karl Lashley. Mort, along with another graduate student, Brenda Milner, attended Hebb’s lectures. In Hebb’s class, they studied his book, The Organization of Behavior, chapter by chapter.
Letter to the editor: How can you not see Trump in a Greek tragedy?
Richard Saunders Silverthorne In Aristotle’s key elements of a Greek tragedy, he states that the hero of a tragedy must evoke a sense of pity and fear within the audience. A flaw in the character of the hero is another of the essentials elements. Being completely nonpolitical, how can you not see President Donald Trump in a Greek tragedy? Proponents and opponents are mesmerized by his endless seesaw success and failure.
Information limiting correlations in large neural populations
Research Articles, Systems/Circuits Ramon Bartolo, Richard C. Saunders, Andrew R. Mitz and Bruno B. Averbeck Journal of Neuroscience 15 January 2020, 2072-19; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.2072-19.2019 Abstract Understanding the neural code requires understanding how populations of neurons code information. Theoretical models predict that information may be limited by correlated noise in large neural populations.
Rabbit neutering
Companion AnimalVol. 24, No. 4 Exotics David Perpiñán Abstract Rabbits are commonly presented in clinical practice for neutering. While castrating males and performing ovariohysterectomies in females may be considered routine surgical procedures, the veterinary surgeon should discuss with the owner regarding ethical issues, indications and expectations of the procedure, and possible alternatives, prior to performing the surgery.
Complementary subicular pathways to the anterior thalamic nuclei and mammillary bodies in the rat and macaque monkey brain
Abstract The origins of the hippocampal (subicular) projections to the anterior thalamic nuclei and mammillary bodies were compared in rats and macaque monkeys using retrograde tracers. These projections form core components of the Papez circuit, which is vital for normal memory. The study revealed a complex pattern of subicular efferents, consistent with the presence of different, parallel information streams, whose segregation appears more marked in the rat brain.
Ignore the noise: May is planning a last-minute Brexit dash
Another summit down, and now December beckons as the next final deadline. Should we be surprised? No. Should we be worried? Maybe, but maybe not. A deal can be done, but it is at the soft end of the Brexit spectrum, and it may be scuppered by the politics. At last December’s summit agreement was reached in outline on the withdrawal terms – the money, citizens’ rights and the Ireland/UK border, including a fallback “backstop”.
Brexit or no Brexit, stock-picking is staying in London
British fund managers could be forgiven for being wary of French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent charm-offensive mission to these shores. After all, this is the man who wants to steal all of London’s investment business for Paris, isn’t it? Well, the good news is, it’s not going to happen. Delegation has suddenly become a hot topic in asset...
2018: the year of the Brexit contingency plan
Now that the Brexit dust has settled from 2017, it is time to ask what this will mean for financial firms in 2018. The deal struck last month followed the standard playbook for the conduct of EU negotiations. Shortly before the deadline, talks break up in disarray, haggard officials lamenting that there is no way out of the impasse. But then an all-night negotiating session ensues, and everybody emerges smiling in the early morning sunshine triumphantly proclaiming their agreement....
Specialized Representations of Value in the Orbital and Ventrolateral Prefrontal Cortex: Desirability versus Availability of Outcomes

Diagnosis and treatment of concurrent dermal malignant melanoma and melanocytomas in a pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis)
Dermal melanocytic neoplasms are common in some even-toed ungulates (Artiodactyla), yet this entity has not been reported in the pygmy hippopotamus to date. Concurrent occurrence of multiple benign and malignant melanocytic neoplasms is unusual. Malignant transformation occurs in a small percentage of benign melanocytic tumours in people but this phenomenon has not been well documented in animals.
UK has a chance to prosper after Brexit, but not with equivalence
One episode above all transformed the City from a sleepy if affluent club into a global financial centre. The Big Bang of the 1980s? No, the emergence of the Eurodollar market 10 years earlier. The impending hard Brexit could create similar opportunities so long as UK negotiators do not embark on a fruitless quest for regulatory equivalence. The Eurodollar story is an instructive one. The growth of global trade after the Second World War flooded Europe with dollars.
UK’s Brexit assurances have failed - time to leave London
Since June 24 last year, firms across the City of London have been pondering their Brexit options: do we have to move jobs out of the UK or not? The government’s Article 50 White Paper provides some clarity – firms need to get on with planning to move. Up to now, location decisions have been driven by business considerations alone. But from April 2019 authorisation to do business in the UK will no longer give you access to the...
Leave vote creates a morass of political problems
“The people have spoken, the bastards.” Thus did Dick Tuck, the American political strategist and wit, respond to his defeat in a California State Senate election in 1986. Much the same sentiment must be widespread in the Remain camp now – a camp that will include many of those in government, Parliament and the Civil Service, whose job it will be to take things forward from here. How will or should they respond? Let’s start with the constitutional position.
FN Women in Finance Survey
The stay-at-home secret behind some City mothers For some women, the secret to balancing career and family has been a partner who stays at home. Personal networks were rated more critical than employer-led support for women juggling work and family life by respondents to Financial News’ 2016 Women in Finance Survey. “The industry has moved backwards,” according to one investment banking veteran responding to Financial News’ sixth Women in Finance Survey.
Brexit would cripple the UK’s market access
The phoney war that preceded the official EU referendum campaign was pretty depressing. Three days into the campaign proper – it started April 15 – there is little sign that the standard of debate has improved. One side warns of economic catastrophe if the UK leaves, quoting improbably large and essentially unprovable costs in terms of output and employment.

Patterns of satellite tagged hen harrier disappearances suggest widespread illegal killing on British grouse moors - Nature Communications
Abstract Identifying patterns of wildlife crime is a major conservation challenge. Here, we test whether deaths or disappearances of a protected species, the hen harrier, are associated with grouse moors, which are areas managed for the production of red grouse for recreational shooting. Using data from 58 satellite tracked hen harriers, we show high rates of unexpected tag failure and low first year survival compared to other harrier populations.
