The climate responsibility of cultural influencers

In socially influential fields such as elite sport, music, and film, cultural relevance is often invoked as a special moral status that exempts them from genuine emissions reduction. We argue that visibility and influence should raise, not lower, the bar for climate responsibilit...

Resolving Lateral Heat Transport in GaN‐on‐SiC HEMT Structures via Transient Thermometry

ABSTRACT Understanding lateral heat transport in GaN high‐electron‐mobility transistors (HEMTs) is essential for the thermal management of high‐power and high‐frequency electronics. Here, lateral thermal transport in GaN HEMTs on 4H‐SiC is investigated using electrical thermometr...

British policy and unequal development in rural Tanganyika, 1920–1961

Since the mid-2000s, debates on the economic and social legacies of colonial rule in sub-Saharan Africa have seen a revival, including on questions of agricultural change, welfare, inequality, and the role of colonial policy. Existing research has largely focused on wealthier pea...

Do Respondents’ Commitments Improve Data Quality in Opt-in Online Surveys? An International Experiment on Participants’ Attentiveness, Cheating, Satisficing, and Skipping

Online surveys are increasingly the norm in public opinion research. Self-administered internet surveys present opportunities, but also specific risks for data quality. In search of solutions, scholars are returning to commitment as one way of encouraging participants to provide...

Digitalising the intensive care unit diary: mapping users' perceptions in healthcare settings – a scoping review

Aim To map literature on perceptions of patients, relatives, and healthcare professionals regarding the use of digital diaries in healthcare, to inform pre-implementation of an ICU diary by identifying factors relevant to feasibility, acceptability, and integration into ICU workf...

Survival benefit of deceased donor kidney transplantation versus continued dialysis: international target trial emulation

Abstract Objective To quantify the survival benefit of deceased donor kidney transplantation versus continued dialysis according to patients’ characteristics (age, diabetes, cardiovascular disease), donor quality (standard criteria donor or expanded criteria donor) and donor retr...

Laparoscopic versus open emergency colonic resection for obstruction: a multicentre retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background Despite its established benefits in elective colorectal surgery, the adoption of laparoscopy in the emergency setting remains limited. This retrospective international multicentre study assesses laparoscopic and open colonic resection in patients with acute be...

NheABC is a pH-dependent cytotoxin that targets mitochondria and contributes to the virulence of Bacillus cereus in wound infections

Members of the Bacillus cereus group are Gram-positive, spore-forming, facultative anaerobic bacteria widely distributed in the environment. Pathogenic B. cereus group strains have been linked to a range of illnesses and infections, including severe non-gastrointestinal infection...

Paler within the city: Carotenoid‐based colouration covaries negatively with the proportion of impervious surface in great tit ( Parus major ) territories across Europe

Urbanisation alters resource availability and exposes wildlife to novel environmental stressors, potentially driving phenotypic divergence. Carotenoid-based plumage colouration is a condition-dependent trait linked to dietary carotenoid acquisition and physiological allocation tr...

A review of selected Swedish contributions to instrumentation at neutron scattering facilities

Abstract The European Spallation Source in Lund, Sweden, is the next generation neutron research facility that will provide unprecedented capabilities for particle physics as well as materials and life science research through its high brightness, long-pulse neutron source and ad...

Parallel regulation of tissue morphogenesis and cell fate specification by RAR:RXR signalling during pancreas formation

During embryogenesis, morphologically diverse epithelial organs bud from different regions of the embryonic gut. The unique features of each nascent organ result from distinct cell fate specification and morphogenetic events elicited by organ-inducing cues. Retinoic acid is a pow...

Early nitrogen wash-out for inside attendants during hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a novel oxygen distribution regimen

Introduction: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is widely used as treatment of decompression sickness (DCS). The patient breathes oxygen at an elevated oxygen partial pressure of up to 280 kPa, whereas any inside attendant (IA) normally breathes air. This results in nitrogen uptak...

Soil, solidarity, and sustainable agriculture: the grounded negotiation of environmental care in eco-farming

Abstract Agroecological communities act within economic and geopolitical structures that contradict and undermine important commitments, raising the critical question: how can ethical life be sustained under such conditions? Drawing on ethnographic research in Italian agroecologi...

Affective divisions and climate policy polarization

Climate policy attitudes are increasingly polarized across Western Europe. We examine how affective polarization shapes these attitudes, arguing that affective distance between opposing identity camps contributes to voters adopting climate positions that align with their own side...

Social connections and risk of cardiovascular disease: a 25-year population-based cohort study

Abstract Background Although the associations of social isolation and loneliness with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk have been extensively studied, evidence that simultaneously evaluates multiple dimensions of social connection remains limited. We aimed to examine the associat...

Banks and the economy: Evidence from the Irish bank strike of 1966

Abstract This paper studies the macroeconomic impact of the Irish bank strike of 1966, which led to the closure of the major commercial banks for 3 months. We collect a variety of new evidence, such as high‐frequency macro data, economic forecasts, micro data and narrative source...

Blowup Solutions of the “Bad” Boussinesq Equation

Abstract. We study blowup solutions of the “bad” Boussinesq equation and prove that a wide range of asymptotic scenarios can happen. For example, for each [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we prove that there exist Schwartz class solutions [Formula...

Eco-evolutionary dynamics and environmental detoxification jointly shape bacterial community response to antibiotic perturbation

Microbial communities frequently encounter recurrent antibiotic disturbance, yet how ecological, evolutionary, and environmental processes jointly shape community responses remains unresolved. Here, we use priming to describe the history-dependent effect whereby prior exposure al...

Daily administration of Limosilactobacillus mucosae DPC 6426 had negligible effects on blood lipids in mildly hypercholesterolaemic adults

Abstract Among the recommendations to prevent heart disease is the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels, through the consumption of a cardioprotective diet, and if necessary, the use of therapeutics such as statins. Alterations in the gut microbiota have previously been...

Structural and functional insights into a Zn2+-transporting P-type ATPase

Abstract Zinc is essential for life yet toxic in excess, rendering homeostatic control vital for all organisms. Transition metal transporting P-type (P IB -) ATPase proteins are critical for this balance but remain poorly understood at the molecular level. Here, we present the in...
