Continuous theta-burst stimulation demonstrates language-network-specific causal effects on syntactic processing by Chenyang Gao, Junjie Wu, Yao Cheng, Yuming Ke, Xingfang Qu, Mingchuan Yang, Gesa Hartwigsen, Luyao Chen

“…Collectively, these findings reveal the specific causal relevance of the language areas for hierarchical syntactic processing, separable from other general cognitive (such as working memory) capacities. These results shed light on the uniqueness and the specific causal role of the language network for the human language faculty, further supporting the causally separable view of the functional dissociation between the language network and the domain-general/multiple-demand network.…”

Characterizing local forest structural complexity based on multi-platform and -sensor derived indicators by Patrick Kacic, Ursula Gessner, Christopher R. Hakkenberg, Stefanie Holzwarth, Jörg Müller, Kerstin Pierick, Dominik Seidel, Frank Thonfeld, Michele Torresani, Claudia Kuenzer

“…In this regard, forest managers have sought to promote enhanced structural complexity (ESC) which utilizes the positive correlation between structural complexity and biodiversity or resilience to inform management practices. In light of these concerns, we integrated remote sensing data from multiple platforms and sensors to test the potential for quantifying different levels of structural complexity in temperate forests. …”

SMART SPECIALISATION AS A BASIC COMPONENT OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT by Olena Guzenko, Svitlana Nikolaichuk, Dmytro Ivanenko

“…The analysis of the EU countries' experience has demonstrated that the SS concept fosters the establishment of an industrial and innovative foundation for the regional economy, delineates the distinctive characteristics of economic, scientific and technological specialisation among regions, and delineates the trajectories of their productivity, competitiveness and economic growth. In light of the crisis situation in the social and economic development of Ukraine's regions, the development and implementation of SS strategies at the regional level has the potential to enhance regional competitiveness, generate employment opportunities, and improve social conditions. …”
