"I made the recording because Iam an amateur recording engineer and also work for a radio station. At the time, Iwas researching for a religious programme, for the radio and by pure chance and good luck, Iwas in the centre of York at the time the street preacher was there. Iam building up a personal library of 'ambient sounds' to use on various radio shows as 'sound effects'. The recording was taken outside St Helen's Church in St Helen's Square, in the centre of York. There was a fairly large crowd walking about, shopping. It was a Saturday. Some people were standing and listening to the man, some were mocking him, others didn't even notice. It was a sunny day, with a slight wind. St Helen's square is a large 'meeting place' for people with seats, flowers and usually musicians. I live in the centre of York and hear a lot of very interesting sounds there, everything from busking musicians, to many foreign languages, church bells, animals and much more. Ireally liked the recording of the preacher as it is quite clear that he passionately believes what he is saying. He was unaware that Iwas recording him. Iwish Ihad captured his whole sermon. He, and other members of his church visit the centre of York quite often, and preach there. Idon't know the name of his church." [Jools/vedas]19 in Collecting Sounds.

Transylvania Building Culture (animated)
There are however some differences between the morphology of the villages. The residential buildings of the Saxon villages of Transylvania are decidedly rural, and the distribution of domestic space is closely tied to the relationship with agricultural production and crop cycles. Typically, dwellings were situated at the end of each plot, overlooking the street with an entrance delimiting and closing off the property. The elongated internal courtyards, separated by the main door, show a clear "introverted" sequence of spaces, usually divided into five major areas. The first strip of the plot is occupied by the family home or the residential nucleus strictly speaking. [More info](https://esg.pt/3dpast/platform/transylvania) Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
Data from: The importance of population heterogeneities in detecting social learning as the foundation of animal cultural transmission
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>High levels of within-population behavioural variation can have drastic demographic consequences, thus changing the evolutionary fate of populations. A major source of within-population heterogeneity is personality. Nonetheless, it is still relatively rarely accounted for in social learning studies that constitute the most basic process of cultural transmission. Here, we perform in female mosquitofish (<em>Gambusia holbrooki</em>) a social learning experiment in the context of mate choice, a situation called mate copying, and for which there is strong evidence that it can lead to the emergence of persistent traditions of preferring a given male phenotype. </span><span class="TexteCourant1Car"><span>When accounting for the </span></span><span>global</span><span class="TexteCourant1Car"> <span>tendency of females to prefer lager males </span></span><span>but ignoring differences in personality we detected no evidence for mate copying. However, when accounting for the bold-shy dichotomy, we found that bold females did not show any evidence for mate copying, while shy females showed significant amounts of mate copying. This illustrates how the presence of variation in personality can hamper our capacity to detect mate copying. We conclude that mate copying may be more widespread than we thought because many studies ignored the presence of within-population heterogeneities.</span></p>

Mammalian animal & human retinal organ culture as pre-clinical model to evaluate oxidative stress and antioxidant intraocular therapeutics
<p>Oxidative stress (OS) is involved in the pathogenesis of retinal neurodegenerative diseases like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) and an important target of therapeutic treatments. New therapeutics are tested in vivo despite limits in transferability and ethical concerns. Retina cultures using human tissue can deliver critical information and significantly reduce the number of animal experiments along with increased transferability. We cultured up to 32 retina samples derived from one eye, analyzed models’ quality, induced OS, and tested efficiency of antioxidative therapeutics. Bovine, porcine, rat, and human retinae were cultured in different experimental settings for 3-14 d. OS was induced by high-glucose or hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) and treated by Scutellarin, pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), and/or granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Tissue morphology, cell viability, inflammation, and glutathione level were determined. Retina samples showed only moderate necrosis (23.83±5.05 increased to 27.00±1.66 AU PI-staining over 14 d) after 14 days in culture. OS was successfully induced (reduced ATP content of 288.3±59.9 vs. 435.7±166.8 nM ATP in controls); antioxidants reduced OS-induced apoptosis (from 124.20±51.09 to 60.80±319.66 cells/image after Scutellarin-treatment). Enhanced mammalian animal and human retina cultures allow reliable, highly transferable research on OS-triggered age-related diseases and pre-clinical testing during drug development.</p>
Data from: Is ungulate migration culturally transmitted? Evidence of social learning from translocated animals
Ungulate migrations are assumed to stem from learning and cultural transmission of information regarding seasonal distribution of forage, but this hypothesis has not been tested empirically. We compared the migratory propensities of bighorn sheep and moose translocated into novel habitats with those of historical populations that had persisted for hundreds of years. Whereas individuals from historical populations were largely migratory, translocated individuals initially were not. After multiple decades, however, translocated populations gained knowledge about surfing green waves of forage (tracking plant phenology) and increased their propensity to migrate. Our findings indicate that learning and cultural transmission are the primary mechanisms by which ungulate migrations evolve. Loss of migration will therefore expunge generations of knowledge about the locations of high-quality forage and likely suppress population abundance.
