"MARINA (1888)", UMBERTO GIORDANO’S YOUTHFUL MELODRAMMA, EMERGES FROM 138 YEARS OF ARCHIVAL SILENCE TO CLAIM ITS RIGHTFUL DRAMATIC IDENTITY. PREMIERED ON STAGE IN FOGGIA IN JUNE 2026, THE WORK REVEALS A COMPOSER ALREADY SHAPING THE RHYTHMIC URGENCY, HARMONIC COMPRESSION, AND DRAM...

Clinical academic careers need structural integration, not individual endurance

Clinical academics are often described as “bilingual” professionals, moving between discovery and care.1 Yet for many, the difficulty is not fluency across two languages, but the absence of a system that allows both to be spoken at once. The experience of working across clinical...

How Do Climatic Factors Directly Influence the Incidence and Risk of Meningococcal Meningitis Across the African Meningitis Belt? A Narrative Literature Review

Abstract Globally, the highest incidence of meningococcal meningitis occurs within the African meningitis belt, spanning 26 countries across sub‐Saharan Africa. Meningococcal meningitis incidence is highly seasonal in this region specifically, with outbreaks mostly occurring duri...

Co-occurrence of high levels of deformed wing virus genotype A and B in both managed and wild social bees

Abstract Bees are key pollinators that support global food production and plant biodiversity, yet wild pollinator populations are declining due to anthropogenic pressures, including habitat loss, pesticide use, and emerging disease. In honey bees ( Apis mellifera ), viral disease...

System-independent inequalities in youth justice decision-making: Seven spheres of influence

Children with social and health-related disadvantages are over-represented in youth justice systems in many countries. This phenomenon cannot be explained by offending rates alone; rather, a wide body of research suggests that inequalities in youth justice decision-making play a...

Direct Observation of Propagating Spin Waves in a Spin Hall Nano‐Oscillator

Constriction-based spin Hall nano-oscillators (SHNOs) show great promise for application as highly tunable microwave sources with straightforward scalability toward large coupled networks. However, details of the magnetization dynamics within SHNOs have thus far not been addresse...

Moiré‐Induced Symmetry Breaking of Charge Order in van der Waals Heterostructures

ABSTRACT Layered materials that stack different lattice symmetries are rare in nature. Misfit layered chalcogenides, which combine square and hexagonal lattices of rocksalt monochalcogenides and transition‐metal dichalcogenides, provide a platform to explore how incommensurabilit...

DynamicBUS: restoring temporal dynamics from static ultrasound for improved breast cancer diagnosis

Abstract The clinical practice of archiving static 2D images from dynamic breast ultrasound (BUS) examinations leads to a critical loss of temporal information, vital for accurate lesion diagnosis. This data limitation constrains the performance of conventional computer-aided dia...

Taking Stock: Assessing Animal Welfare in South African Captive Lion Tourism Venues

South Africa maintains thousands of captive lions and other felids in commercial captive wildlife facilities. Despite ongoing debate regarding the welfare implications of this industry, empirical assessments of welfare conditions remain limited. This study conducted a baseline as...

Quantification of absolute IgG concentration in bat sera

Abstract Bats are endowed with a remarkable capacity to withstand important pathogens through evolutionary adaptations in their immune systems. Antibodies are essential component of the adaptive immune response and serve as a crucial biomarker, indicating both present and past pa...

De novo design of RNA pseudoknots with deep learning

RNA design has been hindered by the limited accuracy of 3D structure prediction. Here, we show that intricate RNA structures can be generated with current deep learning tools through accurate de novo design of pseudoknot secondary structures. In an Eterna competition involving 57...

Episodic super-Eddington accretion as a clue to Overmassive Black Holes in the early Universe

Abstract Early JWST observations are providing growing evidence for a ubiquitous population of accreting supermassive black holes (BHs) at high redshift, many of which appear overmassive compared to the empirically-derived local scaling relation between black hole mass and host g...

An exploration of collaboration strategies across levels of co-presence in VR exergames

Abstract Exergames in virtual reality (VR) combine physical activity with engaging social play. \rev{While the benefits of social play are clear, the increasing shift toward remote interaction creates a critical need to understand how embodied collaboration functions when physica...

Graph-based complexity and computational capabilities of proteinoid spike systems

Abstract Proteinoid microspheres exhibit oscillatory electrical dynamics that encode rich temporal structure. We analyse five proteinoid spike-train datasets using a two-step nonlinear transformation based on spiral sampling and significant-digit extraction, producing a multi-nod...

3D bulk-resolved g-wave altermagnetic order parameter in CrSb

Abstract Electronic phases of matter, such as magnetism and superconductivity, are defined and distinguished by their order parameters quantifying the spontaneous symmetry breaking underlying each phase. Simple cases include the uniform magnetization of ferromagnets 1,2 and the i...

The Journal of Open Source Software - An Introduction and Recent Changes

The Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS; https://joss.theoj.org) publishes concise peer-reviewed articles describing open source research software. The review process is open, iterative and includes evaluation of the software and its related attributes. The primary objectives a...

You’re free when you choose what i like: Flexible attributions of free choice under manipulation

The existence of mechanisms that operate below conscious awareness (e.g. unconscious bias, microtargeting, dark patterns) and the degree to which they may threaten our autonomy fascinate and challenge us in equal measure. Although concepts like free will and consciousness are bei...

Paleomagnetic evidence for a nebular magnetic field from calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions

The initial stage of planet formation is expected to take place in a nascent protoplanetary disk (PPD) accreting onto the protostar embedded in an infalling envelope. This stage is likely accompanied by the formation of high-condensation temperature solids resembling calcium-alum...

Are individual differences in “unconstrained thought” meaningfully distinct from spontaneous and deliberate mind wandering?

Here, we developed the Unconstrained Thought Questionnaire (UTQ) to assess the dynamics of unconstrained thought (or ‘mind wandering’), as described by the Dynamic Framework. We aimed to determine whether the UTQ’s measure of unconstrained thought provides unique explanatory powe...
