Pacing and effort distribution in Hyrox® PRO athletes: differences by sex and performance level

Hyrox ® has rapidly grown into one of the most popular High-Intensity Functional Training (HIFT) competitions, combining running and strength-based stations in a comparatively standardised format. Although pacing and effort distribution are established determinants of performance...

How language conveys emotion through sound: A review of affective iconicity

Traditionally, the lack of association between the form of a word and its meaning (i.e. arbitrariness) has been considered a fundamental aspect of language. However, this idea has recently been challenged by growing evidence of form-meaning relationships in words from different c...

Urinary Hypaphorine as a Candidate Marker of FFQ-Derived Legume Intake Within the EAT-Lancet Framework in Free-Living Adults

Dietary assessment is affected by recall, reporting, portion-size error, and food-composition inconsistencies. Hypaphorine, a tryptophan-derived betaine alkaloid found in pulses and other foods, has been proposed as a marker of legume exposure, but its performance in free-living...

What bilingualism demands

Abstract Bilingualism research sits at the intersection of linguistics, cognitive neuroscience, and psychology, yet these disciplines often operate in relative isolation, limiting explanatory power and theoretical progress. This paper argues that deeper, more purposeful cross-fer...

Evidence-Based Quality Assurance in Initial Teacher Education and Educational Sustainability

Quality assurance in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) has evolved from compliance-oriented approaches toward more comprehensive frameworks emphasizing continuous improvement, evidence-informed decision-making, and educational sustainability. Nevertheless, across Latin America, per...

Firm Size, Skills, and the Conversion of Generative AI into Productivity: Evidence for Spanish Manufacturing — pre-specified design lodged before data access

This deposit lodges the empirical design of a study of generative-AI adoption and total factor productivity in Spanish manufacturing, before the author has accessed the microdata the study requires. The paper distinguishes the task-level potential of generative AI from its firm-l...

Predicting SILENT after lithium poisoning: a multicenter cohort study and pragmatic risk stratification model

INTRODUCTION: The Syndrome of Irreversible Lithium-Effectuated Neurotoxicity (SILENT) is a rare but potentially devastating complication of lithium poisoning. Current evidence rests on case reports and small series, leaving its true incidence, risk factors, and follow-up tools po...

External Mechanical Workload and Acute Physiological Responses During Intermittent Normobaric Hypoxia in Elite Cyclists

Background: Intermittent normobaric hypoxia (INH) has been proposed as a strategy to increase physiological stress while maintaining a relatively low external mechanical workload. However, the acute physiological responses elicited during standardized INH combined with low-intens...

Transposed-letter effects as a function of the location of transpositions

We examined how Transposed-Letter effects (TL effects: e.g., ASBENT, derived from ABSENT, compared to the substituted-letter [SL] control ALPENT) might vary as a function of the location of the TL effects relative to fixation. The positions of the TL and the initial fixation loca...

Targeted neuromodulation of perceptual decision-making networks causally dissociates sensory and metacognitive performance

ABSTRACT Perceptual judgements and their subjective evaluation (i.e., metacognition) are considered tightly coupled aspects of decision-making. Yet, emerging evidence suggests that distinct neural mechanisms underlie these processes. In motion perception, studies have identified...

Moral identity and language jointly influence how bilinguals feel and decide

Abstract This preregistered study investigated how moral identity relates to moral decisions and emotional responses in 106 Greek–English bilinguals. Participants evaluated two sacrificial-harm and two honesty-based interpersonal moral dilemmas and completed the Moral Identity Qu...
