How Babies Learn to Move: An Applied Riemannian Geometry Theory of the Development of Visually-Guided Movement Synergies by Peter D. Neilson, Megan D. Neilson

“…Consequently, we propose that, as part of motor and visual development, starting with bootstrapping by fetal and neonatal pattern-generator movements and continuing adaptively from infancy to adulthood, most of the computation is carried out in advance and stored in a motor association memory network. From there it can be quickly retrieved by a selection process that provides the appropriate movement synergy compatible with the particular visual goal. …”

GRAVITY ANOMALIES OF THE CRUST AND UPPER MANTLE FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTH ASIA by V. N. Senachin, A. A. Baranov

“…Gravity modeling in combination with seismic tomography is an important tool for detecting density inhomogeneities in the crust and mantle, which can cause stresses and thus significantly impact the regional tectonics [Pogorelov, Baranov, 2010], especially in zones wherein continental margins actively interact with subducting oceanic plates and the entire depth of the tectonosphere is subject to stresses. Associated processes lead to considerable horizontal and vertical stresses that often cause catastrophic events on a global scale. …”

Forced Migrant Counter Cultural (Co)Productions by Phoebe Kisubi Mbasalaki, Kalemba Kizito

“…Drawing on empirical research done in South Africa in 2022, both narration and the documentary film became potent modes of knowledge co‐production, illuminating how cultural productions contribute to shaping our understanding of forced migration and its associated challenges. Emphasising the prevalence of anti‐migrant rhetoric in South Africa and the prevalence of violence meted out against (forced) African migrant workers, this article identifies parallels with global discourses surrounding migrancy, where false nationalisms vilify migrants as scapegoats for societal issues. …”
