Co-development of a Mental Health Data Discovery Platform and Harmonisation of Mental Health Measures for Young People in South Africa (PAMHoYA) - A research protocol

Africa’s mental health information landscape is widely recognised as fragmented, limiting planning, budgeting, and service delivery. In South Africa, this fragmentation is reflected in the collection of depression and anxiety data across multiple institutions and studies, using d...

The promise of dwelling – Affective encounters with ‘not yet’ data

Research on affective encounters is necessarily embodied and entangled with elusive, often affect-drenched data. In this paper, we show how our study of Zagreb’s Museum of Broken Relationships benefited from methodological innovations in organisational studies involving affective...

Impact of genomic selection for disease resistance on the spread of infection in a simulated aquaculture population

Abstract Background In aquaculture, selection for disease resistance is typically based on mortality records from challenge tests performed on relatives of selection candidates. However, commercial success depends on limiting disease transmission, particularly the incidence and s...

Branching regulatory biographies of GPT-4 and DeepSeek-R1: A BOAP-informed analysis of regulatory reachability in the European Union, the United States and China

Using a documentary biography informed by Biographies of Artefacts and Practices (BOAP), this article traces how branches of GPT-4 and DeepSeek-R1 became reachable through regulatory pathways in the European Union, United States and China. Drawing on 132 documentary observations,...

Prognostic Value of Interictal Epileptiform Discharges on EEG for Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Early-Onset Epilepsy: A Systematic Review

Poster presenting a systematic review of longitudinal studies on interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) as prognostic markers of neurodevelopmental outcome in children with epilepsy onset at or before 5 years of age. Five databases were searched from inception to 23 October 20...

Making space for Wao Öme in court: Contesting prior consultation and translating Indigenous territory in Pastaza, Ecuador

Widespread juridical progress has been made across Latin America in favour of Indigenous and local communities’ participation in resource governance. Nevertheless, existing mechanisms have often proved to be ineffective, contradictory or even complicit in perpetuating extractive...

Prognostic Value of Interictal Epileptiform Discharges on EEG for Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Early-Onset Epilepsy: A Systematic Review

Poster presenting a systematic review of longitudinal studies on interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) as prognostic markers of neurodevelopmental outcome in children with epilepsy onset at or before 5 years of age. Five databases were searched from inception to 23 October 20...

BO‐Fusion Modulates Excited‐State Energetics to Enable Heavy‐Atom‐Free Photosensitization

ABSTRACT Substitution of C═C bonds with B–E units (E = N, O, P, etc.) provides a powerful strategy to modulate the electronic structure of π‐conjugated frameworks with minimal skeletal perturbation. However, precise control over excited‐state processes through heteroatom incorpor...

Magnitude of Survival Benefit Associated With Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Advanced Thyroid Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Incorporating Updated Long-Term Evidence From SELECT (Lenvatinib) and COSMIC-311 (Cabozantinib) Trials

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have transformed the management of advanced thyroid carcinoma. However, newer agents and updated long-term evidence from pivotal trials have not been comprehensively synthesized. This systematic review and meta-analysis integrates rec...

Reconstructing institutional food practices in early Mesopotamia using multi-proxy biomolecular evidence

The world’s first public institutions developed in Mesopotamia during the fourth millennium BCE. There is broad consensus that food, its control, and (re-)distribution played a central role in these processes, but the composition of institutional meals remains poorly understood....

‘My dog is my life’: One Health approaches to healthcare for people and their companion animals experiencing homelessness in the United Kingdom

Around one in ten people seeking shelter from homelessness in the United Kingdom have a companion animal, most commonly a dog. Dog ownership when homeless can pose a barrier to accessing healthcare and accommodation, and may force individuals to sleep on the streets. People exper...

Clustering effects on the Dark Siren determination of H 0: A simulation study

Abstract We investigate the cosmological power of gravitational wave (GWs) events without electromagnetic counterparts using high-resolution, cosmological simulations that include realistic clustering. We assume a near-future detector network (LVK + LIGO India in O5), with sky lo...

It Is Literally Saving Me Spoons: Autistic People’s Experiences of Eating and Feeding Disorders—A Photovoice Study

Background: Despite the high prevalence of eating disorders (EDs) in Autistic people, few qualitative studies explore this overlap beyond Autistic women with anorexia nervosa (AN). Methods: We used Photovoice to explore the experiences of Autistic people with EDs across diverse g...

Identification of a nanosecond isomer of $$^{164}$$Tb

Abstract This letter reports on the identification of a new isomeric state of $$^{164}$$ 164 Tb ( $$Z=65$$ Z = 65 , $$N=99$$ N = 99 ), which was measured with the DESPEC setup at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH following the first relativistic fragmentation...

For whom does a brief mindfulness induction work? An exploration of the moderating role of individual differences in the effect of mindfulness induction on executive functioning and mind-wandering

Abstract Brief mindfulness inductions are expected to enhance executive functioning and reduce mind-wandering, but empirical findings are mixed. The present study examined the effects of a 10-min mindfulness induction on executive functions and mind-wandering, and explored whethe...

Data-driven pipeline enables discovery of plant protein surfactants

Abstract Designing amphiphilic block copolymers from fossil fuel-derived hydrocarbons is a cornerstone of colloid chemistry, enabling the creation of advanced polymeric surfactants. Despite the high attractiveness of low carbon-emitting plant proteins to defossilise surfactant pr...

CEO undergraduate natural disaster experiences and corporate social performance

Our paper investigates the relationship between CEOs’ experiences of natural disasters during their undergraduate studies and the ESG performance of their firms. Using a panel dataset of U.S. listed firms, we find that, on average, companies led by these CEOs achieve superior ESG...

Robust inference and correlates from genetic associations with personality

Personality traits describe stable differences in how people think, feel and behave, and how they interact with and experience their social and physical environments1,2. Many questions remain unanswered about associations between DNA and personality traits, such as their robustne...

Membrane affinity difference between MinD monomer and dimer is not crucial for MinD gradient formation in Bacillus subtilis

Proteins can diffuse micrometers in seconds, yet bacterial cells are able to maintain stable protein gradients. The best studied bacterial protein gradient is the Min system of Escherichia coli. In rod-shaped bacteria the MinCD proteins prevent formation of minicells by inhibitin...

It's not easy being green: embedding environmental sustainability in training material

UKRI is committed to reaching Net Zero by 2040 and RSE/DRI will be key to achieving this. Green software practices will play a crucial role in this transition and so are increasingly discussed in the community - in part thanks to the Green RSE Special Interest Group. For full ado...
