Strength‐Based Parenting and Relationship Quality in Latine Families Facing Justice System Risk

ABSTRACT Objective To examine whether parenting practices that are shaped by culturally embedded value systems (responsiveness, autonomy granting, and affective warmth) and familism are associated with parent–adolescent relationship quality among Latine youth, and whether these a...

Transposable elements as evolutionary catalysts of ant macrodiversity

Transposable elements (TEs) are key contributors to genome evolution, yet their macroevolutionary roles in adaptive radiations remain poorly understood, as high-quality genomic resources at sufficient phylogenetic breadth and appropriate comparative methods have been lacking. Her...

Environmental Occurrence, Toxicity Concerns, Degradation Behavior, and Plant Resistance of Glufosinate-Ammonium

The market for traditional non-selective herbicides has undergone dramatic changes over the past decade. As an emerging herbicide, glufosinate-ammonium’s market share has been steadily increasing. However, with its widespread use, glufosinate-ammonium residues have been detected...

Analysis of Neonicotinoid Pesticides and their Metabolites by Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionization-Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Neonicotinoid insecticides were first introduced in the 1990s as an alternative to older, more toxic types such as organophosphates, carbamates, and chlorinated hydrocarbons and have since become the most widely used class of insecticides globally. However, their use comes at a s...

Compressibility and High-Pressure Structure of CaMg2Bi2 and YbMg2Bi2

Abstract Compounds with the formula AM2X2 in the CaAl2Si2 structure type have garnered increasing interest across various solid-state research domains, such as quantum topological and thermoelectric materials. Prior studies have identified high-pressure phase transitions in sever...

Noninvasive detection of bacterial biofilms using an insect olfactory brain-based gas sensor

Bacteria emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can be targeted for disease detection. Biological olfactory systems have keen senses of smell, can detect VOCs at low concentrations, and are naturally adapted to classifying mixtures of VOCs as odors. Here, we employed locust...

Newcomer socialization to policing: the role of family support and work-family conflict

Purpose The aim of this study was to examine the roles of family support and work-family conflict on attrition during training. Design/methodology/approach Using a mixed-methods approach (surveys and interviews), we examined a sample of state troopers undergoing an intensive form...

Gender-Role Traditionalism and Opposition to Trade in the United States

ABSTRACT A recently popular line in American trade politics is that free trade threatens male blue-collar manufacturing employment, thereby undermining “traditional” family gender roles in which men work outside of the home and women work as caregivers within it. This study asks...

Time and Free Trade Agreements: Implications for the AfCFTA

ABSTRACT This study examines how free trade agreements (FTAs) can boost economic growth by increasing trade, with clear implications for the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA). Our main finding is that in general, the effects of FTAs are delayed by at least 3 years...

Sensor Technology to Measure Social Engagement for Children with Behavioral Challenges

Abstract Social engagement is crucial for preschool children’s social, cognitive, and language development. Children with behavioral challenges or children who are English Language Learners (ELL) may experience difficulty in making meaningful social connections in inclusive presc...

Integrating HiTOP and clinical staging: A developmental framework for multidimensional psychiatric assessment

Abstract Precise assessment and classification of psychopathology are essential components of precision psychiatry. The transdiagnostic clinical staging model holds tremendous promise to advance classification of psychopathology across the lifespan, but it is currently limited in...

Machine-learning prediction of cardiovascular diagnoses from pediatric ECG reports in 11 643 children

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) in children is heterogeneous, often paucisymptomatic, and easily missed at first contact, yet the electrocardiogram (ECG) remains the most widely available cardiac test. In routine care the ECG is stored and exchanged as a structured report rather tha...

Users' Solicitation of Disclosure When Accounting Standards Restrict Managers' Discretion Over Financial Reporting: Evidence From Conference Calls

ABSTRACT We examine how GAAP‐based restrictions on managers' discretion over financial reporting influence financial statement users' efforts to acquire disclosure from management. During the question‐and‐answer part of a firm's conference call, we find that GAAP‐based restrictio...

National mortality trends due to OSA and respiratory failure in U.S adults from 1999–2023

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and respiratory failure (RF) represent increasing clinical and public health challenges in the United States, yet national trends in mortality remain underexplored. This study evaluates trends in mortality associated with OSA and RF to highlight targ...

Theories on Variations in Party System: A Literature Review

Abstract The debate on party system theories has evolved with increasing complexity as electoral systems spread from advanced democracies to newer ones. This literature review examines classical and contemporary theoretical debates on variations in party systems along with region...

Multi-year, winter-specific wastewater surveillance during and after the COVID-19 pandemic reveals temporal changes in antibiotic resistance genes, mobile genetic elements, and bacterial communities

Evidence suggests that antimicrobial resistant organisms were able to proliferate during and after the COVID-19 pandemic due to antibiotic misuse, attempts to find appropriate COVID-19 treatment, and secondary infection treatment. Wastewater surveillance has allowed for community...

Development of a New Fatigue Failure Criterion using Optical Flow-Based Multi–Gauge Length Approach

Fatigue failure in asphalt concrete (AC) pavements is typically assessed using global degradation metrics such as stiffness reduction or stress-cycle (S × N) relationships. However, these conventional approaches overlook the localized and heterogeneous nature of damage evolution...

Unlocking the agroecological transition in intensive farming systems

A system-wide transformation of dominant intensive farming and food systems is strongly needed to address their high sanitary, environmental, and social costs. Here we argue that simultaneously addressing lock-ins across the entire food system is essential to enable such a transf...

Agriscience teachers’ perceptions of integrating science within plant science curricula after an immersive professional development program

Abstract Secondary education focused on building students' science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) literacy is crucial for maintaining the United States' innovation workforce. However, few studies have examined how immersive, content‐specific professional develop...

Do Legislative Agenda-Setters Constrain Judicial Decision-Making? Evidence from the European Union

Abstract Judicial review allows courts to serve as a powerful check on policymakers. Nonetheless, courts face the possibility of the legislature overriding unwanted decisions when adjudicating cases in which legislators have an interest. I argue that this threat heightens when co...
