Everybodylovesa fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a colleaguehasbeengivenabiggerone. Indeed,ifhehasareputationforbeinglazy,youmight evenbeshockedandangry. Suchbehaviourisregardedas“alltoohuman”,withtheassumption thatotheranimalswouldnotbecapableofthisfinelydevelopedsenseofgrievance(不滿). Buta studybySarahBrosnanandFransdeWaalofEmoryUniversityinAtlanta,Georgia,whichhas justbeenpublishedinNature,suggeststhatitisalltoomonkey,aswell.
Theresearchersstudiedthebehaviouroffemalebrowncapuchinmonkeys( 僧帽猴). They lookcute. Theyaregood-natured,co-operativecreatures,andtheysharetheirfoodreadily. Above all,theytendtopaymuchcloserattentiontothevalueof“goodsandservices” thanmales.
SuchcharacteristicsmakethemperfectcandidatesforDr. Brosnan??sandDr. deWaal??sstudy. Theresearchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange token ( 代幣) for food. Normally,themonkeyswerehappyenoughtoexchangepiecesofrockforslicesofcucumber. However,whentwomonkeyswereplacedinseparatebutneighboringrooms,sothateachcould observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became obviously different.
Intheworldofcapuchins,grapesareluxurygoods(andmuchpreferabletocucumbers). So whenonemonkeywashandedagrapeinexchangeforhertoken,thesecondwasreluctanttohand hersoverforamerepieceofcucumber. Andifonereceivedagrapewithouthavingtoprovideher tokenin exchange at all, the other either threw her own token at the researcher or out of the chamber,orrefusedtoacceptthesliceofcucumber. Indeed,themerepresenceofagrapeinthe otherchamber(withoutanactualmonkeytoeatit)wasenoughtoleadtoresentment(抱怨)ina femalecapuchin.
Theresearcherssuggestthatcapuchinmonkeys,likehumans,areguidedbysocialemotions. Inthewild,theyareaco-operative,group-livingspecies. Suchco-operationislikelytobestable onlywheneachanimalfeelsitisnotbeingcheated. Feelingsofrighteousindignation(義憤感),it seems,are not the preserve of people alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelingsabundantly clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it originates from the commonancestorthatthespecieshad35millionyearsago,is,asyet,anunansweredquestion. 8.

While teenagers who are at risk of depression with risky behaviors—drinking alcohol, smokingcigarettes and cutting classes often alert parents and teachers that serious problems are brewing,anewstudyfindsthatthere??sanothergroupofadolescentswhoareinnearlyasmuch dangerofexperiencingthesamementalsymptoms.
Theseteensusetonsofmedia,getinsufficientsleepandhaveasedentary(不愛活動(dòng)的) lifestyle. Of course, that may sound like a description of every teenager on the planet. But the studywarsthatit is teenagers who engage in all three of these practices in the extreme that are trulyin a dangerous position. Because their behaviors are not usually seen as a red flag, these youngpeoplehavebeencalledthe“invisiblerisk” groupbythestudy??sauthors.
Thestudy??s authors surveyed15,395 students and analyzed nine risk behaviors, including excessivealcohol use, illegal drug use, heavy smoking and high media use. Their aim was to determinetherelationshipbetweentheseriskbehaviorsandmentalhealthissuesinteenagers. The groupthatscored high on all nine of the risk behaviors was most likely to show symptoms of depression;inall,nearly 15% ofthisgroupreportedbeingdepressed,comparedwithjust 4% of thelow-riskgroup. But the invisible group wasn??t far behind the high-risk set, with more than 13% ofthemexhibitingdepression.

Visionaryarchitects design buildings which speak for themselves. From towering concrete pillarsto sculptural modernist domes( 穹頂), the work of Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi defined Indianarchitecture for the latter half of the 20th century. Known as B. V. Doshi, he was a versatile modernist architect—he designed everything from accessible housing projects to the IndianInstitute of Management in Bangalore. Sadly, the great architect died on January 24th, 2023,attheageof95,leavingbehindafascinatinglegacy.
BornonAugust26th,1927,inPune,southeastofMumbai,Doshigrewupwithhisfather andgrandfather,afurnituremaker. Asachildhecametoappreciatehowtheirhousegrewand changed. In1947,shortlybeforeIndianindependence,hebeganarchitectureschool. However,he neverfinished,afactwhichhe??dlaterpointtoinlifeasanadvantage. HemarriedhiswifeKamala Parikhin1955. Whenshepassedaway,Doshilivedinahousehedesignedandnamedforhis belovedwife.
Doshiwas influenced by the famous Swiss-French architect known as Le Corbusier. Doshi studied with him in Paris and then returned to India to supervise the architect??s work in Ahmedabad. In 1956, Doshi founded his own firm called Vastushilpa. He traveled the world lecturingatuniversities,worked with other famous architects,and even founded the Center for EnvironmentalPlanning and Technology ( now CEPT University) focusing on understanding, designing,planning,constructingandmanaginghumanhabitats.
“Wedidnotwanttoimitatesomeoneelse??sapproach,” hetoldtheLouisianaMuseumof ModernArtin2018. “Wewantedtofindourownidentity. ” HedrewfromhisprideinIndian culturetocreateastyledistinctfromWesterndesigns. “Ithinkofmybuildingsasmyfriends,my family,” hesaid. “Ihaveaconversationwiththem,andthat??showIcreatenichesandstaircases andopeningsandgardens. . . mybuildingsarenotonlypureandclearbutdesignedtoanticipate changes. ”
Asidefromhismodernworks,Doshiwasdevotedtocreatingworkstobenefitthepoor. He designedthe Aranya Low Cost Housing Project in Indore.
