Oxytocin activity is not linked to out-group prosociality in wild bonobos
No full textAbstract In many group-living species, cooperative group defense is crucial to the reproduction and survival of group members. In humans and chimpanzees, this adaptive behavior is regulated by oxytocin, a highly conserved neurohormone. In humans, oxytocin can also enhance prosocial attitudes towards out-group individuals and reduces xenophobia. While the role of oxytocin in supporting cooperative group defense is likely evolutionarily ancient, it is unclear to what extent oxytocin’s role in promoting out-group prosociality is conserved. Bonobos, our closest living relatives together with chimpanzees, can provide valuable insights into this question, because they are not known to engage in collective group defense but instead exhibit tolerance and prosocial behaviors across groups. Through examining variation in bonobo cooperative behavior, specifically coalition formation, we reinforce the idea that bonobo coalitions do not serve as a form of group defense. Despite increased competition, bonobos formed fewer coalitions in the presence of out-groups. Further, bonobo coalitions included both in- and out-group partners, reflecting reduced xenophobia and between-group cooperation. Physiologically, neither females nor males showed increased oxytocin activity with out-group presence. This suggests that, unlike in humans, oxytocin is not involved in regulating out-group prosociality in bonobos

Physical Activity among Cancer Survivors Referred for Exercise Training: A Longitudinal Evaluation
No full textBACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) is a crucial component of cancer survivorship care, but the majority of cancer survivors do not meet National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for weekly activity levels. Supervised exercise training is a growing component of clinical survivorship programs, but little is known about their long-term effects. OBJECTIVE: The primary aim of this study was to examine longitudinal changes (up to 12-months) in self-reported physical activity among cancer survivors enrolled in a community survivorship program and referred for exercise training. A second aim focused on evaluating whether quality of life and session attendance were predictive of these changes, and a third aim identified demographic and clinical predictors of exercise program attendance. METHOD: Participants included 158 cancer survivors referred for supervised exercise training through the Fort Worth Program for Community Survivorship at the University of Texas Southwestern Moncrief Cancer Institute. Self-reported physical activity was measured by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), with data gathered at Baseline, plus 3-, 6- and 12-months post-referral. ANALYSIS: Data related to study aims were analyzed using generalized estimating equations (GEE). RESULTS: Significant increases in self-reported physical activity were noted for participants over the 12-month analysis period; increases were noted at each post-baseline assessment. Participants who had normal BMI at baseline, were married, and had more education reported consistently greater physical activity across timepoints. Baseline global quality of life and exercise session attendance were also positively associated with consistently greater physical activity across timepoints. Emotional well-being at baseline and history of secondary cancer or cancer recurrence were both significant predictors of attending at least 12 exercise sessions. DISCUSSION: Results indicate that in general, the cancer survivorship program was effective in promoting physical activity. A pattern of sustained improvement suggests that even though most participants completed their exercise sessions early in the study period, benefits of the training remained for months afterward. Whether benefits are sustainable in less resource-rich settings and with less intensive exercise interventions should be further explored
Böll\u27s Lady : A New Eve
No full text“What kind of a young woman is this ... ?” cries the author and rechercheur of Heinrich Böll’s Group Portrait with Lady (Gruppenbild mit Dame) when confronted with Leni Pfeiffer, née Gruyten, the central figure of the portrait and the recent Nobel Prize-winning novel. The reader, echoing this question, is so intrigued by the search for the real Leni, set up in a cunning way by Böll himself, that he takes at face value the author’s amazement, willing to forget that Leni is the embodiment of Böll’s own dream of the real woman, his long-planned creation of a new Eve
