The gut microbiome is a vital factor in animal health and development, influenced by various elements. This review explores the bacterial strains within the microbiome and their roles in digestion, immunity, disease causation, and overall host well-being. Across all mammals, Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes are the dominant phyla, with omnivores and carnivores also harboring Proteobacteria. In canids, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, and Fusobacteriota are the predominant phyla. Bacteroidetes exhibit remarkable prowess in digesting organic material, while Proteobacteria are essential for oxygen uptake in anaerobic environments. Firmicutes, known for their health-promoting properties, can counteract the effects of harmful bacteria, such as Clostridium difficile. Notably, the host’s diet exerts a significant influence on microbiome composition, as evidenced by the division of gut microbiomes into two distinct groups: herbivores in one and carnivores/omnivores in the other. These findings lay a vital foundation for future endeavors in animal health and conservation. As the field progresses, we anticipate uncovering even more profound insights into the intricate relationship between the gut microbiome and human health.

I explore the roots of ontological thinking in the late thought of Georg Lukács via the development of the nature of praxis in German Idealism and the thought of Marx. I contend that the thesis of spontaneous, self-creation as well as social relatedness are both core themes in German Idealism that achieve definitive form in Marx's thought. In effect, I argue that the human capacities for relatedness and the formation of relations with others paired with the teleological structure of human practical agency constitutes a crucial ontological ground for critical theory. It is this that Lukács focuses on in his later ontological writings and which can be used as a means to reorient contemporary critical theory and critical philosophy which has been dominated by postmetaphysical and neo-Idealist currents in recent decades.

The first three years of life present unique challenges to the study of psychopathology. We highlight four of the issues in a selective review of the developmental psychopathology of early childhood, including lack of specificity of risk and outcome variables, measurement difficulties, rapid developmental changes and the centrality of the relationship context in early childhood. We also highlight issues relevant to conceptualizations of disorders of infancy, emphasizing especially the need for efforts to validate clinical disorders. We consider two major domains of infant development that we believe are especially relevant to a discussion of psychopathology, namely, regulation of emotion and infant-caregiver attachment. Discussions of these two domains of infant development and their psychopathological extremes allow us to consider conceptualizations of psychopathology from the dual perspectives of developmental psychopathology and clinical disorders. We conclude by suggesting a number of strategies to build upon previous research.

For the first time, the severed right hands of 12 individuals have been analysed osteologically. The hands were deposited in three pits within a courtyard in front of the throne room of a 15th Dynasty (c.1640–1530 BC) Hyksos palace at Avaris/Tell el-Dab‘a in north-eastern Egypt. Although this kind of practice is known from tomb or temple inscriptions and reliefs from the New Kingdom onwards, this is the first time that physical evidence has been used to learn more about the procedure and the individuals whose hands were taken. Here, we show that the right hands belonged to at least 12 adults, 11 males, and possibly one female. It is unclear if the hands were taken from dead or living individuals. After removing any attached parts of the forearm, the hands were placed in the ground with wide-splayed fingers, mainly on their palmar sides. The osteological analysis not only supports the archaeological interpretation of this evidence but also adds more detail regarding trophy-taking practices in Ancient Egypt. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-32165-8

Osmanlı Devleti'nin “Millet-i Sadıka”sı olan Ermenilerin Osmanlı toplumu içindeki ahenk, değişen uluslararası dengeler ve büyük güçlerin Osmanlı Devleti üzerindeki politikaları ile olduğu kadar misyonerlik faaliyetleri nedeniyle de önemli bir bozulma yaşadı. Daha önce Katolik misyonerlerin faaliyetleri ile Katolik ve Gregoryen olarak ikiye ayrılmış olan Ermeni toplumu bundan dolayı kendi içinde bir çatışma atmosferi yaşamaya başlamıştı. Her ne kadar 1830'da Katolikler de ayrı bir millet olarak kabul edilseler de bu çatışma atmosferi bu kez bir üçüncü kaynak tarafından daha da derinleşti. Bu kaynak 1830'lardan itibaren Osmanlı coğrafyasında görülmeye başlayan Protestan misyonerleriydi. Önceleri Osmanlı toplumunun tümünü hedef alan Protestan misyonerlerin amaçlarını gerçekleştirmede en uygun hedef olarak Ermenilere yönelmeleri için çok fazla bir zamana ihtiyaçları olmadı. İstanbul'dan sonra Osmanlı taşrasına da hızla yayılmaya başlayan Protestan misyonerler 1830-1831'deki öncü geziler sonrasında 1834'te Trabzon'da bir istasyon tesis ettiler. Bu istasyon hem Trabzon hem de iç kısımlardaki istasyonlar için önemli bir merkez olarak düşünülmüştü. Trabzon'da Protestan misyonerlerin faaliyetleri özellikle İngiliz konsolosluğunun desteği ile daha çok Gregoryen Ermeni toplumunu hedef aldı. Bu faaliyetler sonunda küçük de olsa Trabzon'da da bir Protestan cemaati ortaya çıkarılmış oldu. 1850'de ayrı bir millet olarak kabul edilseler de Protestanlar özellikle Ermeni toplumunun yoğun bir baskısına maruz kaldı. Bu bildirinin amacı Trabzon'da belgelere yansıdığı oranda Protestan Ermenilerin karşılaştığı zorluklar üzerinde bazı tespitler yapmaktır.
