Social Networks Crucial for Resource Management, but Cooperation Lags in Tana Salmon Fishery

Social Networks Crucial for Resource Management, but Cooperation Lags in Tana Salmon Fishery

A study on the Tana salmon fishery in Norway reveals that while social networks are vital for managing common-pool resources, there's a significant gap between norms of cooperation and actual behavior among fishers. Researchers used interviews, Net-Maps, and an allocation game with 42 fishers over two years. The allocation game, where participants could keep or share 15 kg of salmon, showed a lack of reciprocity, with 45.5% of fishers keeping all their salmon. In contrast, information and help networks exhibited higher reciprocity and density. The management network, though centralizing the Tana River Management as a key information source, also showed low density and fragmentation. This suggests that despite an understanding of cooperative norms, practical cooperation in resource sharing is limited, potentially hindering sustainable management efforts in the face of declining salmon populations.

UCLA-Led Study Maps Basal Ganglia Development, Links Genetic Variants to Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder

UCLA-Led Study Maps Basal Ganglia Development, Links Genetic Variants to Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder

A multi-institutional research team, co-led by scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), UC San Francisco, and UC San Diego, has published a study in the journal Cell detailing the developmental trajectory of the human basal ganglia. This research, part of the National Institutes of Health’s BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network (BICAN), provides a 3D molecular map of the basal ganglia from mid-pregnancy through infancy. Utilizing single-nucleus methyl-3C sequencing (snm3C-seq) on nearly 287,000 cells, the team simultaneously mapped DNA methylation and how DNA folds in 3D space within individual cell nuclei. The study revealed that spiny projection neurons, crucial for basal ganglia function, mature in a highly coordinated manner early in gestation. By overlaying genetic risk variants from large psychiatric studies onto this developmental map, researchers discovered a strong enrichment of genetic variants linked to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in these developing spiny projection ...

Academic Libraries Surveyed on Defining Success Metrics for Book Approval Plans

Academic Libraries Surveyed on Defining Success Metrics for Book Approval Plans

A research study, IRB Protocol 26-0725, is being conducted by Arthur Aguilera, Principal Investigator and Head of Collection Development & Assessment Unit at the University of Colorado Boulder, to examine how academic libraries define and measure the success of book approval plans. The study aims to identify the metrics and criteria academic libraries use to evaluate approval plan performance, compare how definitions of success vary across institution types and librarian roles, and examine how libraries prioritize competing factors such as cost, usage, efficiency, and bibliodiversity. Academic librarians who interact with or manage book approval plans are invited to participate in a 5-10 minute survey, which will remain open until December 18, 2026. This initiative seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of current practices and challenges in academic library collection development.

UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell Calls for Prioritizing Children at Paris Peace Forum's Child Summit

UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell Calls for Prioritizing Children at Paris Peace Forum's Child Summit

UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell delivered a powerful message at the Paris Peace Forum's Child Summit, urging global leaders to prioritize children in all critical decisions. The summit, which opened with calls to action from four UNICEF youth ambassadors, served as a platform for UNICEF to advocate for children's rights and well-being. Russell challenged political leaders to make choices that put children first, particularly in diplomacy, budgeting, the conduct of war, and the development of new technologies. UNICEF representatives also participated in panels discussing the scientific agenda for children in the age of artificial intelligence, nutrition, and child survival at scale, and the practical implementation of the Child Priority Framework. The overarching sentiment was that the true measure of the summit's success would be the tangible changes that occur as a result of these discussions, rather than just the declarations made.

Federal Judge Limits Amazon Photos Biometric Privacy Lawsuit in Illinois

Federal Judge Limits Amazon Photos Biometric Privacy Lawsuit in Illinois

A federal judge in Illinois has allowed a class-action lawsuit against Amazon Photos to proceed, but only for Illinois residents who were direct users of the service and had their facial information processed. The lawsuit, Hogan v. Amazon.com, Inc., filed in 2021, alleges that Amazon Photos violated Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by collecting facial information without proper notice or consent. Amazon Photos uses image recognition to group photos of people with similar facial characteristics, creating 'face embeddings.' The court certified a class of Illinois residents whose faces appeared in photos uploaded to their own Amazon Photos accounts between October 18, 2016, and January 31, 2023, while image recognition was enabled. However, the judge excluded individuals whose faces appeared in photos uploaded by others, citing the extreme difficulty in identifying such non-users. This ruling highlights the complexities of consent and control over personal biometric data, especially when in...
