Similarities in color preferences between women and men: the case of the hunter gatherer Hadza tribe from Tanzania
No full textEvidence for cross-cultural patterns of sexual differences in color preferences raised the question of whether these preferences are determined by universal principles. To address this question, we investigated most- and least-favorite color choices in a nonindustrialized community, the Hadza that has an egalitarian hunter-gatherer culture, fundamentally different from those previously investigated. We also compared color preference patterns in the Hadza with published data from Poland and Papua. Our results show that Hadza have very different color preferences than Polish and Papuan Yali respondents. Unlike many industrialized and nonindustrialized cultures, Hadza color preferences are practically the same for women and men. These observations question the idea of universal differences of color preferences between sexes and raise important questions about the determinants of color preferences
Physics opportunities with the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array: AGATA
No full text© 2020, The Author(s). New physics opportunities are opening up by the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array, AGATA, as it evolves to the full 4π instrument. AGATA is a high-resolution γ-ray spectrometer, solely built from highly segmented high-purity Ge detectors, capable of measuring γ rays from a few tens of keV to beyond 10 MeV, with unprecedented efficiency, excellent position resolution for individual γ-ray interactions, and very high count-rate capability. As a travelling detector AGATA will be employed at all major current and near-future European research facilities delivering stable and radioactive ion beams

Judgments of speaker traits (Groyecka-Bernard et al., 2022)
No full textPurpose: The human voice is a powerful and evolved social tool, with hundreds of studies showing that nonverbal vocal parameters robustly influence listeners’ perceptions of socially meaningful speaker traits, ranging from perceived gender and age to attractiveness and trustworthiness. However, these studies have utilized a wide variety of voice stimuli to measure listeners’ voice-based judgments of these traits. Here, in the largest scale study known to date, we test whether listeners judge the same unseen speakers differently depending on the complexity of the neutral speech stimulus, from single vowel sounds to a full paragraph.
Method: In a playback experiment testing 2,618 listeners, we examine whether commonly studied voice-based judgments of attractiveness, trustworthiness, dominance, likability, femininity/masculinity, and health differ if listeners hear isolated vowels, a series of vowels, single words, single sentences (greeting), counting from 1 to 10, or a full paragraph recited aloud (Rainbow Passage), recorded from the same 208 men and women. Data were collected using a custom-designed interface in which vocalizers and traits were randomly assigned to raters.
Results: Linear-mixed models show that the type of voice stimulus does indeed consistently affect listeners’ judgments. Overall, ratings of attractiveness, trustworthiness, dominance, likability, health, masculinity among men, and femininity among women increase as speech duration increases. At the same time, speaker-level regression analyses show that interindividual differences in perceived speaker traits are largely preserved across voice stimuli, especially among those of a similar duration.
Conclusions: Socially relevant perceptions of speakers are not wholly changed but rather moderated by the length of their speech. Indeed, the same vocalizer is perceived in a similar way regardless of which neutral statements they speak, with the caveat that longer utterances explain the most shared variance in listeners’ judgments and elicit the highest ratings on all traits, possibly by providing additional nonverbal information to listeners.

To be able to give someone an oxygen mask, you first must be wearing one yourself. On the need to support art creators and artivists dealing with engaging art processes of a performative nature
No full textThe author of the article, Agata Siwiak, proposes the implementation of a professional support system for artists working with processes of engaging art, with particular emphasis on practices in areas of social crises. As an inspiration, the author presents the forms of support that have been developed on the basis of social work, activism and theatre pedagogy. The article is based on in-depth interviews with practitioners of engaging theatre who represent various theatre environments and professions, and on the knowledge Siwiak gained through her own theatre practices as part of the research-based practice methodology (the author is also a performance arts curator)

Contaminazione, Coinvolgimento, Impegno. Riflessioni su una ricerca di antropologia medica in contesti urbani affetti da disastri ambientali e sociali provocati dalla lavorazione del cemento-amianto in Italia
No full textThe author reflects on theoretical dilemmas and on her subjective experiences in doing a medical anthropological study that aims to be scientifically valid, practically applied, and socio-politically engaged.
To this purpose, the article discusses data collected in two Italian cities: Bari (southern Italy) in 2009, and Casale Monferrato (northern Italy), in 2012. Both the contexts have been affected by social and environmental disasters related to the presence of two asbestos-cement plants, active until the end of the 1980s: the Fibronit and the Eternit factories, respectively.
First, historical and social contextualization of legislation and epidemiological data about asbestos manufacturing are briefly provided, both for the national and the international settings, in order to better situate the actions of socio-political engagement undertaken by the victims organised into local anti-asbestos social movements whose goals and practices have national and international resonance.
Second, the author offers a general overview of asbestos’ characteristics as a raw material, and of the political-economic dynamics promoting its massive industrial use, despite the fact that biomedical studies have recognised asbestos fibres as cancer causing factors as far back as the 1960s.
Third, the author refers to anthropological and sociological literatures on risk perception and on the disaster’s processes in order to better understand the peculiarities of the asbestos-related disasters.
Lastly, the anthropologist’s engagement with the investigated issues is discussed, and a parallelism between contamination and engagement is offered by looking at a process in which the scientist and the research partners collaborate to promote new knowledge and socio-political changes
