TL;DR: The results suggest that the HVC is part of the neural network engaged in the control of sexual preferences to conspecific song displays.

TL;DR: In the THA group, the larger energy absorption in H2S and K3S would be a cost-effective mechanical adaptation to increase stability and the surface hip arthroplasty characteristics could allow the return to a more normative gait pattern compared with THA.

TL;DR: The diaphysis derives from an archeological level indicating alternating human and carnivore occupation of the cave, reinforcing the close proximity and probable competition of Middle Paleolithic humans with large carnivores for resources and space and supporting a pattern of changing mobility patterns among late Middle Paleocene Neandertals on the eve of modern human dispersals into Europe.
Abstract: In 2002, a Neandertal partial femoral diaphysis was discovered at Les Rochers-de-Villeneuve (Vienne, France). Radiocarbon dated to ≈40,700 14C years before present, this specimen is one of the most recent Middle Paleolithic Neandertals. The diaphysis derives from an archeological level indicating alternating human and carnivore (mostly hyena) occupation of the cave, reinforcing the close proximity and probable competition of Middle Paleolithic humans with large carnivores for resources and space. Morphological aspects of the diaphysis and ancient DNA extracted from it indicate that it is aligned with the Neandertals and is distinct from early modern humans. However, its midshaft cortical bone distribution places it between other Middle Paleolithic Neandertals and the Châtelperronian Neandertal from La Roche-a-Pierrot, supporting a pattern of changing mobility patterns among late Middle Paleolithic Neandertals on the eve of modern human dispersals into Europe.

TL;DR: The authors decrit une strategie particuliere de recherche sur des processus organisationnels : l'etude longitudinale de cas enchâsses.
Abstract: Cet article decrit une strategie particuliere de recherche sur des processus organisationnels : lʼetude longitudinale de cas enchâsses. Elle peut etre definie comme une etude de cas longitudinale comportant plusieurs sous-unites dʼanalyse et dans laquelle des investigations sont menees a la fois au niveau du cas dʼensemble et des sous-unites. Lʼarticle apporte un eclairage sur lʼinteret de ce design specifique pour des recherches visant a developper des theories processuelles de phenomenes complexes comme lʼinnovation, lʼapprentissage, la dynamique des competences dans lʼorganisation. Ce design permet en particulier de mener une etude empirique longitudinale en comparant differentes sous-unites au sein dʼun cas unique, dans une perspective de generation de theorie. Lʼarticle insiste egalement sur les aspects pratiques de la mise en oeuvre de ce design, au niveau de la selection des unites, de la collecte des donnees et de leur analyse. Le propos est illustre par des exemples concrets. Nous pensons que cet article peut eclairer lʼapport potentiel et les difficultes de ce design pour dʼautres recherches processuelles, et contribuer ainsi aux reflexions actuelles sur les aspects methodologiques des etudes empiriques longitudinales.
