Katten är vårt populäraste husdjur, men ses också allt oftare som en mördarmaskin och artutrotare. Ann-Helen Meyer von Bremen frågar sig vad kraven på att tämja katten egentligen handlar om. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Sommaren 1969 hade jag fått mitt livs första två tama kattungar att leka med. Det var något helt annat än de halvvilda lagårdskatterna som aldrig gick att klappa. Så bröt den ena kattungen benet och morfar skulle i vanliga fall ha slagit ihjäl den, man gick inte till veterinären med katter, knappt ens med hundar, men nu fanns ett gråtande barnbarn att ta hänsyn till. Morfar ringde veterinären och fick rådet att gipsa benet med glasspinnar. Finette, som katten hette, blev något hjulbent men levde ett aktivt kattliv tills hon blev 16 år gammal.Det vi inte förstod då var att vi tog klivet in i ett modernt synsätt på katten. Finette fick visserligen på många sätt leva ett fritt kattliv, men hon fick också bo inomhus om nätterna, äta särskild kattmat och finna sig i att bli körd i dockvagn. Katten har tassat bredvid människan under tusentals år och är numera vårt vanligaste husdjur, ändå har den aldrig anpassat sig på samma sätt som hunden, kon, hästen, fåret, hönan och de andra husdjuren har gjort. Den amerikanska evolutionsbiologen Jonathan B. Losos menar till och med att katten inte kan anses som helt domesticerad. Skillnaderna mellan tamkatten och den nordafrikanska vildkatten, som anses vara alla tamkatters ursprung, är små, betydligt mindre än mellan hunden och dess vilda förfader. Tamkatten har dock förändrats på några områden för att kunna leva ett mer människonära liv. Tarmarna har blivit längre för att kunna smälta även vegetabilier, de områden i hjärnan som styr rädsla och aggressivitet har minskat och kurrandet och jamande har ändrats till en frekvens som vi människor gillar.Katten kommer och går som den vill, låter sig ibland klappas, ibland inte, är en ivrig jägare även om matte serverar delikatesser och bestämmer själv kärlekspartner och därmed över sin egen evolution. En gränsöverskridare, mellan det vilda och tama, men också mellan vår värld och andra världar, som varit gudomlig i vissa kulturer och en djävulens representant i andra. I det forna Egypten sågs katter som magiska lyckobringare som till och med uppnådde helig status och tillbads. Kopplingen till det gudomliga berodde till stor del på Bastet. Hon började sin gudinnekarriär som krigsgudinna med lejonansikte men fick senare kattansikte och blev då skyddsgudinna för kvinnor, barn och katter och med ansvar för allt som gör livet kul som sång, musik, dans, sex och festligheter. Å ena sidan var det dödsstraff för den som dödade en katt, även om det var en olycka, å andra sidan kunde katter avlivas och mumifieras av religiösa skäl. Enorma mängder kattmumier offrades till Bastets tempel, där det också etablerades kattuppfödningar, en mer brutal variant av vår tids blomsterbutiker i närheten av kyrkogårdar. Av alla de kattmumier som senare upptäcktes vid utgrävningar och plundringar, är bara ett litet antal bevarade. Merparten har blivit vägfyllning eller gödning.I Norden drogs Frejas vagn av katterna Hogni och Tovner. ”Bullret” från deras tassar användes för att tillverka repet Gleipner som till slut band Fenrisulven och för alltid gav katten dess ljudlösa gång. Förutom kattbuller bestod repet också av kvinnoskägg, bergens rötter, björnsenor, fiskens andedräkt och fågelspott. Katten har haft rollen som trickster, gett både tur och otur och än idag lever detta kvar när vi ibland spottar tre gånger för en vägkorsande svart katt.Mycket tyder på att katten tidigt uppskattades som sällskapsdjur, men också som jägare. Nu är jaktinstinkten allt mer en belastning. Samtidigt som nätet svämmar över av gulliga katter, betraktas de också som mördarmaskiner och artutrotare. En internationell forskningsstudie från 2023 beräknade att tamkatter äter drygt 2 000 olika arter av fåglar, kräldjur, små däggdjur, insekter och amfibier, varav ett par hundra anses hotade. I Sverige uppskattas våra 1,44 miljoner tamkatter och ett oklart antal förvildade katter tillsammans döda drygt 13 miljoner fåglar, det vill säga fyra procent av alla fåglar som finns här under sommaren. En uppmärksammad vetenskaplig artikel föreslog att tamkatter inte borde få vistas utomhus, eftersom katter har för stor negativ påverkan på den övriga naturen. Forskare i Polen vill klassa den som en invasiv art och även i Sverige har kattens eventuella invasiva status prövats av Artdatabanken, trots att det finns arkeologiska lämningar som visar att husdjuret funnits här under dryga 2 000 år och inte direkt kan ses som någon nykomling. Katten klarade sig denna gång.Lösningen på Misses glupande aptit är att begränsa Misse själv. I vissa delar av Australien finns olika restriktioner som kastrering, maxantal katter per hushåll och förbud mot ett fritt uteliv. I USA lever redan 90 procent av alla katter sina liv inomhus. I tyska staden Walldorf har katterna de senaste åren fått tillbringa sina somrar inlåsta för att skydda en hotad lärka, vilket lett till starka protester från tyska djurskyddsorganisationen Deutscher Tierschutzverbund, som anser detta vara kattplågeri. Även i Sverige har kraven på kattägare ökat i form av id-märkning, registrering, kontroll av fortplantningen med mera.Sannolikt fällde halvvilda lagårdskatter betydligt fler byten förr då det inte alltid var självklart med regelbundna mattider hos människorna. Dagens minskade populationer av fåglar kan heller inte skyllas på katten, utan på att lantbruket och skogsbruket har förändrats radikalt och ger mindre utrymme för många arter. Kanske handlar de ökade kraven på att tämja katten inte om vare sig katten eller det vilda djurlivet, utan om oss människor? Det verkar finnas något provocerande i kattens starka integritet.När katten ska omskolas till att vara enbart kärleks- och mysproducent, passar inte rollerna som magiker eller jägare. Det levande gosedjuret får inte vara för självständigt och inte som tidigare stå med en tass i det tama och en i det vilda. Och tassens klor måste också klippas om livet levs i mjuka soffor. I USA är det till och med vanligt med amputation av klorna, något som är förbjudet i Sverige om det inte finns hälsoskäl. Precis som vi människor har blivit allt mer specialiserade, i våra yrken, ja i hela våra liv, ska nu också katten följa efter. Men även om vi gärna vill sortera in vår omgivning i olika fack, är det kanske nu som vi behöver gränsöverskridare mer än någonsin. Den mångfacetterade katten är en ständig påminnelse om att även vi människor har betydligt fler egenskaper och färdigheter som vi kan odla, om vi tillåter oss det. Och att vassa klor är viktiga för att leva ett fritt och mångsidigt liv. Och för att klättra högt upp i träden.Ann-Helen Meyer von Bremenjournalist och författare.

Abstract: The cellular actin cortex provides crucial mechanical support and plays critical roles in numerous functions, including cell division and migration. The proteins of the ERM family, ezrin, radixin, and moesin, are central to these processes by linking the plasma membrane to the actin cytoskeleton. To investigate the individual contributions of these three proteins to leukocyte migration, we generated single and triple ERM knock-out macrophages. Surprisingly, we found that even in the absence of ERMs, macrophages can still form the different actin structures promoting cell migration, such as filopodia, lamellipodia, podosomes, and ruffles. Furthermore we discovered that, unlike every other cell type previously investigated, the single or triple knock-out of ERMs does not affect macrophage migration in a large diversity of contexts. Finally, we demonstrated that the loss of ERMs in macrophages does not affect the mechanics of their actin cortex. These findings challenge the notion that ERMs are universally essential for cortex mechanics and cell migration and support the notion that the macrophage cortex may have diverged from that of other cells to allow for their adaptive cortical plasticity.

Steve Gunther is our guest on this Mesh Point edition of the Coaches Corner football coaching podcast. Coach Gunther, who served on the staff of legendary Emory Bellard at Spring-Westfield High School, Houston, Texas from 1990-1994 (Coach Bellard's last 4 years of coaching), was a football coach from 1968-2011, a total of 43 years. A longtime head football coach in Iowa, he also had coaching stints at Colorado State University, and Independence Community College, Independence, Kansas. Gunther discusses his years with Emory Bellard, and the three books that he has recently published. They include : 1. "How to Coach the Wishbone Football Offense, According to Emory Bellard" 2. "How to Coach the Flexbone Football Offense" 3. "How to Practice Option Offensive Football"

This week on the show, we'll be talking to Petra about the NetBSD foundation, about how they operate and assist NetBSD behind the scenes. That plus lots of news This episode was brought to you by Headlines What is new on EC2 for FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE (http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2016-10-03-FreeBSD-EC2-11-0-RELEASE.html) “FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE is just around the corner, and it will be bringing a long list of new features and improvements — far too many for me to list here. I think there are some improvements in FreeBSD 11.0 which are particularly noteworthy for EC2 users.” “First, the EC2 Console Screenshot functionality now works with FreeBSD. This provides a "VGA" output as opposed to the traditional "serial port" which EC2 has exposed as "console output" for the past decade, and is useful largely because the "VGA" output becomes available immediately whereas the "serial port" output can lag by several minutes. This improvement is a simple configuration change — older releases didn't waste time writing to a non-serial console because it didn't go anywhere until Amazon added support on their side — and can be enabled on older FreeBSD releases by changing the line console="comconsole" to boot_multicons="YES" in /boot/loader.conf.” “The second notable change is support for EC2 "Enhanced Networking" using Intel 82599 hardware; on the C3, C4, R3, I2, D2, and M4 (excluding m4.16xlarge) families, this provides increased network throughput and reduced latency and jitter, since it allows FreeBSD to talk directly to the networking hardware rather than via a Xen paravirtual interface. Getting this working took much longer than I had hoped, but the final problem turned out not to be in FreeBSD at all — we were tickling an interrupt-routing bug in a version of Xen used in EC2. Unfortunately FreeBSD does not yet have support for the new "Elastic Network Adapter" enhanced networking used in P2 and X1 instance families and the m4.16xlarge instance type; I'm hoping that we'll have a driver for that before FreeBSD 11.1 arrives.” “The third notable change is an improvement in EC2 disk throughput. This comes thanks to enabling indirect segment I/Os in FreeBSD's blkfront driver; while the support was present in 10.3, I had it turned off by default due to performance anomalies on some EC2 instances. (Those EC2 performance problems have been resolved, and disk I/O performance in EC2 on FreeBSD 10.3 can now be safely improved by removing the line hw.xbd.xbdenableindirect="0" from /boot/loader.conf.)” “Finally, FreeBSD now supports all 128 CPUs in the x1.32xlarge instance type. This improvement comes thanks to two changes: The FreeBSD default kernel was modified in 2014 to support up to 256 CPUs (up from 64), but that resulted in a (fixed-size) section of preallocated memory being exhausted early in the boot process on systems with 92 or more CPUs; a few months ago I changed that value to tune automatically so that FreeBSD can now boot and not immediately panic with an out-of-the-box setup on such large systems.” “I think FreeBSD/EC2 users will be very happy with FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE; but I'd like to end with an important reminder: No matter what you might see on FTP servers, in EC2, or available via freebsd-update, the new release has not been released until you see a GPG-signed email from the release engineer. This is not just a theoretical point: In my time as a FreeBSD developer I've seen multiple instances of last-minute release re-rolls happening due to problems being discovered very late, so the fact that you can see bits doesn't necessarily mean that they are ready to be downloaded. I hope you're looking forward to 11.0-RELEASE, but please be patient.” *** Upgrading Amazon EC2 instance from 10.3 to 11.0-PRERELEASE results in hang at boot (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213196) As if to underscore that last point, a last minute bug was found on sunday night A user reported that they used freebsd-update to upgrade an EC2 instance from 10.3 to 11.0 and it started hanging during boot After some quick investigation by Colin, the problem was reproduced Since I had done a lot of work in the loader recently, I helped Colin build a version of the loader with a lot of the debugging enabled, and some more added to try to isolate where in the loader the freeze was happening Colin and I worked late into the night, but eventually found the read from disk that was causing the hang Unlike most of the other reads, that were going into the heap, this read was into a very low memory address, right near the 640kb border. This initially distracted us from the real cause of the problem With more debugging added, it was determined that the problem was in the GELIBoot code, when reading the last sector of each partition to determine if it is encrypted. In cases where the partition is not 4k aligned, and butts up against the end of the disk, the formula used could result in a read past the end of the disk The formula rounds the last sector byte address down to the nearest factor of 4096, then reads 4096 bytes. Then that buffer is examined to determine if the partition is encrypted. If it is a 512b sector drive, the metadata will be in the last 512 bytes of that 4096 byte buffer. However, if the partition is not 4k aligned, the rounding will produce a value that is less than 4096 bytes from the end of the disk, and attempting to read 4096 bytes, will read past the end of the disk Normally this isn't that big of a problem, the BIOS will just return an error. The loader will retry up to three times, then give up and move on, continuing to boot normally. Some BIOSes are buggy, and will initiate their own retries, and the combination might result in a stall of up to 30 seconds for each attempt to read past the end of the disk But it seems that Amazon EC2 instances, (and possibly other virtual instances), will just hang in this case. This bug has existed for 6 months, but was not caught because almost all installations are 4k aligned thanks to changes made to the installer over the last few years, and most hardware continues to boot with no sign of a problem Even the EC2 snapshot images of 11.0 do not have the problem, as they use a newer disk layout that is 4k aligned by default now. The problem only seems to happen when older disk images are upgraded The fix has been committed and will be merged the the branches over the next few days An Errata notice will be issues, and the fix will be available via freebsd-update It is recommended that EC2 users, and anyone who wants to be especially cautious, wait until this errata notice goes out before attempting to upgrade from FreeBSD 10.3 to 11.0 You can determine if your partitions are 4k aligned by running ‘gpart show'. If there is free space after your last partition, you won't have any issues. *** OpenBSD 6.0 Limited Edition CD set (signed by developers) (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160929230557&mode=expanded) The first one went for .$4,200.00 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/331985953783) + Looking for your piece of OpenBSD history?

Do you really know what that does? + Chris Siebenmann has posted a look at this on his blog, which might not be what you think “Typing ^D causes the tty driver to immediately finish a read().” He continues on: Normally doing a read() from a terminal is line-buffered inside the tty driver; your program only wakes up when the tty driver sees the newline, at which point you get back the full line. (Note that this buffering is distinct from anything that your language's IO system may be doing.) Typing ^D causes the tty driver to stop waiting for a newline and immediately return from the read() with however much of the line has been accumulated to date. If you haven't typed anything on the line yet, there is nothing accumulated and the read() will return 0 bytes, which is conveniently the signal for end of file. If you have typed something the program will get it; because it doesn't have a trailing newline, the program's own line-buffering may take over and keep read()ing to get the rest of the line. (Other programs will immediately process the partial line with no buffering; cat is one example of this.) Once you've typed ^D on a partial line, that portion of the line is immutable because it's already been given to the program. Most Unixes won't let you backspace over such partial lines; effectively they become output, not input. (Note that modern shells are not good examples of this, because they don't do line-buffered input; to support command line editing, they switch terminal input into an uninterpreted mode. So they get the raw ^D and can do whatever they want with it, and they can let you edit as much of the pending line as they want.) Fascinating stuff, and interesting to see behind the curtain at exactly what's going on with your programs buffering and tty driver interaction. Interview - Petra Zeidler - spz@netbsd.org (mailto:spz@netbsd.org) NetBSD Foundation *** News Roundup Running FreeBSD in Travis-CI Thanks to KQEmu (http://erouault.blogspot.com/2016/09/running-freebsd-in-travis-ci.html) Travis-CI is the most popular testing framework on Github, but it doesn't support any of the BSDs This didn't discourage Even Rouault, who managed to run FreeBSD in KQEMU on the Linux instances provided by Travis-CI “Travis-CI has a free offer for software having public repository at GitHub. Travis-CI provides cloud instances running Linux or Mac OS X. To increase portability tests of GDAL, I wondered if it was somehow possible to run another operating system with Travis-CI, for example FreeBSD. A search lead me to this question (https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/1818) in their bug tracker but the outcome seems to be that it is not possible, nor in their medium or long term plans.” “One idea that came quickly to mind was to use the QEMU machine emulator that can simulate full machines, of several hardware architectures.” They found an existing image of FreeBSD 9.2 and configured the Travis job to download it and fire it up in QEMU. “Here we go: ./configure && make ! That works, but 50 minutes later (the maximum length of a Travis-CI job), our job is killed with perhaps only 10% of the GDAL code base being compiled. The reason is that we used the pure software emulation mode of QEMU that involves on-the-fly disassembling of the code to be run and re-assembling.” Travis-CI runs in Google Compute Engine, which does not allow nested virtualization, so hardware virtualization is not an option to speed up QEMU “Here comes the time for good old memories and a bit of software archeology. QEMU was started by Fabrice Bellard. If you didn't know his name yet, F. Bellard created FFMPEG and QEMU, holds a world record for the number of decimals of Pi computed on a COTS PC, has ported QEMU in JavaScript to run the Linux kernel in your browser, devised BPG, a new compression based on HEVC, etc....” “At the time where his interest was focused on QEMU, he created KQemu, a kernel module (for Linux, Windows, FreeBSD hosts), that could significantly enhance QEMU performance when the guest and hosts are x86/x86_64 and does not require (nor use) hardware virtualization instructions.” “Running it on Travis-CI was successful too, with the compilation being done in 20 minutes, so probably half of the speed of bare metal, which is good enough.” “I could also have potentially tried VirtualBox because, as mentioned above, it supports software virtualization with acceleration. But that is only for 32 bit guests (and I didn't find a ready-made FreeBSD 32bit image that you can directly ssh into). For 64 bit guests, VirtualBox require hardware virtualization to be available in the host. To the best of my knowledge, KQemu is (was) the only solution to enable acceleration of 64 bit guests without hardware requirements.” It will be interesting to see if enough people do this hack, maybe Travis-CI will consider properly supporting FreeBSD *** OpenBSD EuroBSDcon 2016 Papers are online (https://www.openbsd.org/events.html) Slides from the OpenBSD talks at EuroBSDCon are online now Landry Breuil, Building packages on exotic architectures (https://rhaalovely.net/~landry/eurobsdcon2016/) Peter Hessler, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) implementation and support in OpenBSD (https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2016-bfd.pdf) Ingo Schwarze, Why and how you ought to keep multibyte character support simple (https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2016-utf8.pdf) (roff/mm/gpresent source code (https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2016-utf8.roff)) Stefan Sperling, OpenBSD meets 802.11n (https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2016-openbsd-11n.pdf) Antoine Jacoutot, OpenBSD rc.d(8) (https://www.bsdfrog.org/pub/events/openbsd-rcd-EuroBSDcon2016.pdf) Marc Espie, Retrofitting privsep into dpb and pkg_add (https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2016-privsep.pdf) Martin Pieuchot, Embracing the BSD routing table (https://www.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2016-embracingbsdrt.pdf) I am working to build a similar website for the FreeBSD project, but there is still a lot of work to do I also managed to find the slides from the keynotes: Opening Keynote: George Neville-Neil: Looking Backwards: The coming decades of BSD (https://papers.freebsd.org/2016/EuroBSDCon/LookingBackwards.pdf) Closing Keynote: Gert Döring: Internet Attacks, Self-Governance, and the Consequences (http://www.monobsd.com/files/16_ddos_and_consequences.pptx) *** VirtualBox Shared Folders on FreeBSD: progress report (https://kernelnomicon.org/?p=650) In the past month or so, VirtualBox in the FreeBSD ports tree got bumped to version 5, which while bringing new features, did cause a regression in Shared Folders. FreeBSD developer gonzo@ (Oleksandr Tymoshenko) has been tackling this issue in recent days and provides us with a look behind the curtain at the challenges involved. Specifically he started by implementing the various needed VOPs: “lookup, access, readdir, read, getattr, readlink, remove, rmdir, symlink, close, create, open, write.” He then continues with details about how complete this is: ““Kind of implemented” means that I was able to mount directory, traverse it, read file, calculate md5 sums and compare with host's md5sum, create/remove directories, unzip zip file, etc but I doubt it would survive stress-test. Locking is all wrong at the moment and read/write VOPs allocate buffers for every operation.” The bigger issue faced is with the rename VOP though: I hit a roadblock with rename VOP: it involves some non-trivial locking logic and also there is a problem with cached paths. VBox hypervisor operates on full paths so we cache them in vboxfs nodes, but if one of parent directories is renamed, all cached names should be modified accordingly. I am going to tackle these two problems once I have long enough stretch of time time sit and concentrate on task. + We wish him luck in getting those issues solved. I know quite a few of our users rely on shared folders as well.
