1.2.0b1 - 2026-09-26
This is a beta release for the upcoming 1.2.0,
to support the beta release of SLiM v6.
Major update release to support the release of SLiM v6.0. The main update to
SLiM is support for traits, which accompanied a number of changes to metadata,
particularly mutation metadata. For more information see
https://tskit.dev/pyslim/docs/latest/previous_versions.html
Breaking changes:
The release of SLiM 6.0, changes to metadata (see below) mean that accessing
top-level metadata (e.g., ts.metadata["SLiM"]) more than a few times in
a script will take a long time. Scripts that previously ran quickly may take a
prohibitively long. See the documentation for simple changes that fix the problem:
https://tskit.dev/pyslim/docs/latest/previous_versions.html
The SLiM tree sequence file version number has changed to 1.0. Use pyslim.update
to convert your tree sequence file to this format.
Metadata for SLiM's mutations are no longer stored along with the tskit mutations,
because mutation stacking allows each tskit mutation to be associated with more
than one SLiM mutation. Now, metadata for each unique mutation is stored in
top-level metadata, under ts.metadata["SLiM_mutation_list"]. The recommended
way to access this information is by obtaining the SLiM ID-to-metadata dict
returned by pyslim.mutation_metadata(ts).
The SLiM mutation IDs represented by each tskit mutation should no longer be
read in from the derived_state property, but instead from the tskit mutation's
metadata. (However, SLiM still writes these out in text to the derived_state
entry as before.)
Previously, msprime.sim_mutations with the msprime.SLiMMutationModel
would record SLiM metadata along with each new mutation. However, msprime
does not modify top-level metadata, and so the method add_mutation_metadata
should be used after adding SLiM mutations.
This is a SLiM change, but top-level metadata is now encoded using the json+struct
codec now provided by tskit (so that the mutation metadata is not too large/slow).
The top-level and individual metadata schemas now depend on the number of traits
in the model. The methods slim_tree_sequence_metadata_schema and
slim_individual_metadata_schema can be used to produce correct schema.
Individual metadata no longer has a flags component; the one flag we did set here
(pyslim.INDIVIDUAL_FLAG_MIGRATED) is now recorded, as pyslim.INDIVIDUAL_MIGRATED,
in individual.flags (rather than individual.metadata['flags']).
The default sex ratio for populations is now 0.5 instead of 0.0.
(:issue:339, :user:petrelharp)
Bug fixes:
pyslim.annotate now has a num_chromosomes argument. Previously it could not be
easily used to annotate multichromosome simulations with more than 8 chromosomes.
(It also now has a num_traits argument.)
In some previous versions, converting files produced by a yet-older version of SLiM
to the previously-current file version dropped some information from metadata:
nucleotide values for mutations, and pedigree parent IDs for individuals. This only
may have affected users using pyslim.convert(ts) in a previous version of pyslim
on a tree sequence ts with SLiM file version prior to 0.9.
Since verison 1.1, the value of pyslim.INDIVIDUAL_FLAG_MIGRATED has been 2,
when in fact it should have been 1, so code using this flag to detect
migrants would have been wrong (and should have found no migrants, ever).
(Also, this flag is now deprecated; see above.)
New features:
SLiM now includes in metadata information about the effects of mutations on
quantitative traits, the values of traits for individuals, and the values of
various "tags" defined in SLiM.
default_slim_metadata can now take additional arguments to modify the returned
values.

Translating is not the same task in every direction. When a translator works from their own language into a foreign language, the work is different from when they work from a foreign language back into their own language. This paper looks at these two directions and compares the problems that come with each one. It also explains what this means for people who train translators. The main idea is simple: translating into a foreign language is mostly hard because of writing, while translating into your own language is mostly hard because of understanding. Neither direction is simply "easier" than the other — they are hard in different ways.

Gençliğin, tüketim alışkanlıklarının şekillendiği kritik bir geçiş döneminde bulunması, bu grubu geleceğin tüketim dinamiklerinde belirleyici bir toplumsal aktör haline getirmektedir. Bu nedenle, sürdürülebilir tüketim pratiklerini benimseyen gençlerin bu pratikleri hangi toplumsal, ekonomik ve kültürel koşullar altında benimsediklerinin incelenmesi önem taşımaktadır. Literatürde, sürdürülebilir tüketim pratiklerini birey ile yapısal koşullar arasındaki etkileşim çerçevesinde derinlemesine ele alan nitel araştırmaların sınırlı kalması ise bu çalışmanın çıkış noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Bu boşluğu doldurmayı hedefleyen araştırma kapsamında, gündelik yaşamında sürdürülebilir tüketim pratiklerini benimseyen 19-26 yaş aralığındaki 17 genç kadınla derinlemesine görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada, genç kadınların sürdürülebilir tüketim pratiklerini şekillendiren toplumsal, ekonomik ve kültürel dinamikler ile bu pratikleri teşvik eden ve engelleyen faktörler nitel bir perspektifle ortaya konmuştur. Araştırma bulguları, katılımcıların sürdürülebilir tüketim pratiklerinin döngüsel ve minimalist tüketim, atık yönetimi ve kaynak tasarrufu, sürdürülebilir beslenme ile çevre dostu ulaşım gibi çeşitli alanlarda yoğunlaştığını göstermektedir. Bu pratiklerin sağlık ve çevre kaygılarının yanı sıra ekosisteme karşı sorumluluk ve toplumsal adalet anlayışıyla şekillendiği belirlenmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra, sosyalleşme süreçlerinin sürdürülebilir davranışların oluşumu ve sürdürülmesinde önemli bir rol oynadığı tespit edilmiştir. Çocukluk döneminde aile içinde kazanılan sürdürülebilir alışkanlıkların bireyin sürdürülebilir tüketim pratiklerinin gelişmesine zemin hazırladığı; akran ilişkileri içerisinde gerçekleşen karşılıklı öğrenme ve duygusal desteğin ise bu pratiklerin benimsenmesine, sürdürülmesine ve yakın çevreye aktarılmasına katkı sağladığı belirlenmiştir. Bulgular, sosyal medyanın sürdürülebilirlik odaklı içerikler aracılığıyla benzer değerleri paylaşan bireyler arasında topluluk aidiyetini güçlendirdiğini ve sürdürülebilir tüketim pratiklerinin benimsenmesine katkı sağladığını ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca üniversite ortamı, müfredat aracılığıyla sürdürülebilirlik konusundaki farkındalığın ve tüketim pratiklerinin şekillenmesinde önemli bir öğrenme alanı olarak öne çıkmakta; kampüs etkinlikleri ise bu bilginin deneyimsel öğrenme yoluyla gündelik yaşama taşınmasına katkı sağlamaktadır. Araştırma bulguları, sürdürülebilir tüketimin önündeki engellerin yapısal ve bireysel düzeylerde ortaya çıktığını göstermektedir. Yapısal düzeyde, sürdürülebilir ürünlerin yüksek fiyatlı olması, sınırlı bulunabilirliği ve taşınabilirlik ile kullanım kolaylığına ilişkin güçlükler; geri dönüşüm altyapısına erişimdeki kısıtlar ile sosyal medyanın algoritmik yapısı ve influencer odaklı pazarlama stratejilerinin oluşturduğu aşırı tüketim baskısı öne çıkan engeller olarak belirlenmiştir. Bireysel düzeyde ise sürdürülebilir pratiklerin toplumsal alanda alay konusu edilmesi ve bireysel çabaların etkisiz kalacağı düşüncesinin bu davranışların hayata geçirilmesini olumsuz etkilediği görülmektedir. Ayrıca, yeşil aklama ve ürün etiketlerine yönelik şüpheciliğin sürdürülebilir tüketime duyulan güveni zayıflatan önemli unsurlar arasında yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Son olarak, katılımcılar sürdürülebilir tüketimin yaygınlaştırılması için erken yaşta sürdürülebilirlik eğitimi, piyasa dönüşümü ve topluluk temelli girişimleri önermektedir. Bulgular bütüncül olarak değerlendirildiğinde, sürdürülebilir tüketimin yalnızca bireysel tercihlere ve farkındalık düzeylerine indirgenemeyeceği; bireyler, kurumlar ve politika yapıcıları kapsayan çok düzeyli yaklaşımların gerekli olduğuna işaret etmektedir.

Youth represents a critical transitional period during which consumption habits are formed, making young people key actors in shaping future consumption patterns. Therefore, examining the social, economic, and cultural conditions under which young people adopt sustainable consumption practices is of considerable importance. However, qualitative studies that explore these practices through the interaction between individual agency and structural conditions remain limited. Addressing this gap, this study conducted in-depth interviews with 17 young women aged 19–26 who actively practiced sustainable consumption in their daily lives. The study adopted a qualitative approach to examine the factors shaping these practices and the conditions that facilitate or constrain them.The findings indicate that participants’ sustainable consumption practices primarily focused on circular and minimalist consumption, waste management and resource conservation, sustainable food consumption, and environmentally friendly transportation. These practices were shaped not only by concerns for health and the environment but also by a sense of responsibility toward ecosystems and social justice. In addition, socialization processes played a significant role in the development and maintenance of sustainable behaviors. Sustainable habits acquired within the family during childhood provided the foundation for later practices, while peer relationships fostered mutual learning, emotional support, and the diffusion of sustainable behaviors to wider social networks. Social media strengthened a sense of community among individuals sharing similar values through sustainability-oriented content and encouraged the adoption of sustainable consumption practices. Universities also emerged as important learning environments by increasing sustainability awareness through curricula and reinforcing knowledge through campusbased experiential activities.The study further revealed that barriers to sustainable consumption exist at both structural and individual levels. Structural barriers included the high cost and limited availability of sustainable products, difficulties related to portability and ease of use, inadequate recycling infrastructure, and the consumerist pressures generated by algorithmdriven social media platforms and influencer marketing. At the individual level, participants identified social ridicule and the belief that individual efforts are ineffective as factors discouraging sustainable behavior. Greenwashing and skepticism toward environmental labels also weakened trust in sustainable consumption. Participants emphasized the importance of early sustainability education, market transformation, and community-based initiatives for promoting sustainable consumption. Overall, the findings suggest that sustainable consumption cannot be reduced solely to individual choices or levels of awareness but requires multilevel approaches involving individuals, institutions, and policymakers.
