Interpreting Air Temperature Trends Across the Antarctic Peninsula Between 1979 and 2025

Abstract The near‐surface temperature of the Antarctic Peninsula is marked by strong spatio‐temporal variability. In situ observations are scarce and therefore have limited spatial coverage. Furthermore, ERA‐5 reanalysis does not have a sufficient spatial resolution to capture th...

Effect Size Calculation Procedures in Exercise Intervention Meta-Analyses: A Scoping Review

BACKGROUND: Meta-analyses require the calculation of effect sizes for all included studies. The most common experimental design in exercise intervention studies is the pre-post control design. A number of different approaches exist for calculating effect sizes for this design, an...

Reliability, validity, and change over time in disinhibited and disruptive behaviors assessed with the age‐adapted disruptive behavior diagnostic observation schedule in children aged 5–12 years with ADHD

Abstract Background Previous research has shown that the disruptive behavior diagnostic observation schedule (DB‐DOS) is a valid and reliable clinic‐based assessment of disinhibited and disruptive behaviors in preschoolers. We adapted the DB‐DOS for use in children aged 5–12 year...

Mature Enough to Measure? Practitioners’ Accounts of Organizational Maturity and Impact Measurement for Sustainability in Project Management

Organizations increasingly measure and report sustainability, yet the impacts they report are produced in projects. This paper proposes a relational reconceptualization of sustainability maturity in project management, as the coupling of measurement means to the project decisions...

Plurality in transformative change: Three co‐created pathways toward nature‐positive Europe(s)

1.The accelerating decline of biodiversity necessitates transformative change to protect nature and society, requiring innovative actions and governance strategies. This paper focuses on developing diverse transformative pathways for biodiversity in Europe and advancing methodolo...

The effect of freshwater biases on AMOC stability across the model complexity spectrum

Abstract A collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) would have strong consequences for the global climate system. Assessing whether the AMOC will collapse in the future is difficult since current Earth System Models (ESMs) have biases. An earlier study u...

Poincaré–Birkhoff–Witt theorems in higher algebra

We extend the classical Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt (PBW) theorem to higher algebra by establishing a version that applies to spectral Lie algebras. We deduce this statement from a basic relation between operads in spectra: the commutative operad is the quotient of the associative ope...

Statistical learning and rhythmic ability in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Individual differences outweigh group effects

Speech segmentation is fundamental to language acquisition and is likely supported by Statistical Learning (SL). Research on SL is inconclusive as to whether it can occur outside of the scope of attention. One open question is whether SL is impaired in individuals diagnosed with...

Boundary Spanning at Major Soccer Events: The Roles and Competences of Safety and Security Officers

This article is about the day-to-day boundary-spanning activities of safety & security officers (SSOs) employed by professional soccer organizations in the Netherlands. Drawing on Williams, we examined how SSOs perform their roles as reticulists, communicators, entrepreneurs, and...

Lifted Heston Model: Efficient Monte Carlo Simulation with Large Time Steps

Abstract. The lifted Heston model [E. Abi Jaber, Quantitative Finance, 19 (2019), pp. 1995–2013] is a stochastic volatility model emerging as a Markovian lift of the rough Heston model [O. El Euch and M. Rosenbaum, Mathematical Finance, 29 (2019), pp. 3–38] and the class of rough...

Crossing margins: Intersectional users’ ethical concerns about software

Abstract Many modern software applications present numerous ethical concerns due to conflicts between users’ values and companies’ priorities. Intersectional communities, those with multiple marginalized identities, are disproportionately affected by these ethical issues, leading...

The traumatic grief inventory self report: validation in the balinese population

Background The Traumatic Grief Inventory Self-Report version (TGI-SR) is a well-known and validated 18-item self-report measure to assess symptoms of Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD; ICD-11 and DSM-5TR). No validation study has yet been performed in the Balinese population.Methods...

The pre‐dispute phase up close: experiences of visitors to Dutch legal aid centres

Abstract Given indications of rising challenges for marginalized citizens in the pre‐dispute phase of civil procedures, we studied this phase up close at Dutch legal aid centres using the framework of William Felstiner et al. on naming, blaming, and claiming. Interviews were cond...

Growth Plate Morphogens as Potential Modulators of Cellular Tissue Remodeling by Annulus Fibrosus Cells

ABSTRACT Background Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a spinal deformity of unknown etiology that begins in the intervertebral disc and emerges during pubertal growth. In the vertebral growth plate, adjacent to the disc, powerful growth plate morphogens (GPMs) modulate thi...

P1.238. Postoperative Outcomes in Patients After Prolonged Intensive Care Unit Stay After Esophagectomy: A Prospective Single-Center Cohort Study

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Cancer – long term outcomes Background Prolonged intensive care unit stay (≥7 days) is common after esophagectomy. Although prolonged ICU stay after major surgery is associated with poor short- and long-term outco...

From words to sentences: designing and evaluating a parent-facing sign language learning app

Abstract To prevent language deprivation, hearing parents of deaf and hard-of-hearing children need to learn sign language as soon as possible after their child’s hearing loss is identified. However, sign language resources for parents are limited and often lack focus on sentence...

Are Attributions of Consciousness to AI Chatbots Epistemically Innocent?

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots (e.g., ChatGPT) can communicate in strikingly humanlike ways. This has prompted many chatbot users to attribute psychological properties, including consciousness, to these systems. However, there is little scientific evidence that cu...

Radiological Late Dental Adverse Effects Following Treatment for Paediatric Head and Neck Rhabdomyosarcoma: Results of a Transatlantic Multicentre Cohort Study

ABSTRACT Objectives Rhabdomyosarcoma represents the most common paediatric soft tissue sarcoma, with 40% occurring in the head and neck region. Given that survival rates now reach 80%, minimising late adverse effects, particularly dental developmental complications, has become a...

Preservice mathematics teacher experiences and insights into integrated STEM assessment design challenges

Designing effective assessments in STEM-integrated mathematics education is a vital yet insufficiently developed skill among pre-service teachers (PSTs). This study uses a sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach to explore specific challenges faced by 56 PSTs enrolled in a...
