Contrasting carbon and nitrogen burial in pristine vs. impacted mangrove sediments

Mangrove forests are critical ecosystems that sequester carbon and nitrogen in their sediments and regulate coastal biogeochemical cycles. However, rapid degradation due to urban expansion, deforestation, and industrial development may impact their carbon and nitrogen burial capa...

Hybridisation as an Ecological Process: Admixed Individuals Contribute Substantially to Canopy Biomass in an Intertidal Macroalgal Hybrid Zone

ABSTRACT Beyond its relevance for evolutionary biology and genetics, hybridisation is increasingly recognised as an ecological process that can modify community structure, yet the demographic contribution of admixed individuals in natural primary‐producer systems remains poorly r...

Longitudinal plasma phosphorylated tau217 classification and the association with Alzheimer's disease progression

Abstract INTRODUCTION Longitudinal diagnostic and prognostic validity of plasma phosphorylated tau217 (p‐tau217) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains uncertain. METHODS In this multi‐cohort study of 2117 individuals, we established baseline plasma p‐tau217 thresholds for amyloid‐β...

The complexity of disciplinary literacy and identity in STEM: A case study of student language use in project-based learning

Disciplinary literacy has gained more recognition in STEM education as understanding subject is inextricably linked to mastering specialised ways of communicating science to different audiences. In project-based learning (PBL), STEM students must apply such literacies across mult...

Finite‐Time Protocols Stabilize Charging in Noisy Ising Quantum Batteries

ABSTRACT Reliable charging protocols are crucial for advancing quantum batteries toward practical use. We investigate a transverse‐field Ising chain as a quantum battery, focusing on the combined role of qubit interactions in the battery model and finite charging time. This inter...

Developing an Inventory of Workplace Stress Coping Strategies Among Autistic Adults: A Grounded Delphi Study

Abstract Background Stress levels are often elevated among autistic people, a pattern that also extends to the workplace. Effective coping strategies can reduce the negative impact of stress on work retention and overall wellbeing. However, the unique coping strategies of autisti...

Digital practices in CLIL across Romance- and Germanic-language contexts: a teacher survey with complementary student data

Research on digital practices has grown substantially thanks to recent technological advancements. Using data from the COST Action CA21114 Digital Literacies Teacher Survey (DLTS) and Student Survey (DLSS), where Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classrooms are focu...

Music, Emotions, and Relationships: Professionals’ Experiences of the Feasibility of a Music Group Intervention for Children in Shelters After Exposure to Domestic Violence

Abstract Purpose Children residing in shelters after exposure to domestic violence have specific needs shaped by both past experiences and current circumstances. They often have limited access to structured leisure activities and health-promoting interventions. This study explore...

Drones providing live video to dispatch centers during time-critical incidents

Abstract Background Early triage of emergency calls at dispatch centres relies mainly on verbal information, which may not reflect the complexity and severity of a situation, limiting dispatchers situational awareness and early decision-making. Real-time live-video could potentia...

Democracy at work? Rethinking student participation in school improvement

Abstract Young people are often excluded from democratic processes in schools. When involved in school improvement, students are regularly positioned as informants rather than as co-inquirers. Grounded in a pragmatist perspective and drawing on the concepts of weak and strong dem...

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...

Contesting Norms and Challenging Order: Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023 and the Geopolitics of LGBTIQ+ Human Rights

Abstract Uganda’s adoption of the Anti-Homosexuality Act in 2023 reveals significant contestation among domestic and external actors regarding LGBTIQ+ human rights norms. This article argues that opposition to LGBTIQ+ rights has become central to contemporary challenges to the li...

Presymptomatic plasma biomarkers in autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease: sequence and timing

Abstract Background Autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease (ADAD) serves as a model for presymptomatic biomarker discovery. Characterising the temporal profile of plasma biomarker levels in presymptomatic individuals may enhance understanding of disease pathogenesis, inform futur...

Towards a multi-agent Clinical Trial Center framework to support modern clinical trials

Abstract Clinical Trial Centers (CTCs) manage complex multi-site trials under rising regulatory and operational demands. Traditional workflows are labor-intensive and error-prone. Existing AI handles narrow and siloed tasks. We introduce Agent System for TRial Automation (ASTRA),...

Single-photon double ionization of ozone: experiment and theory

Abstract The triatomic molecule ozone (O3) is of outmost physical and chemical importance in the atmospheres of our Earth and other planets. Beyond its environmental significance, a detailed understanding of the electronic structure and ionization dynamics of ozone is essential f...

Clinical Outcomes of Fixed Dental Prostheses Supported by Teeth or Implants in the Posterior Region—A Long‐Term Retrospective Multicenter Study

BACKGROUND: Few long-term studies compare tooth- and implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) in the posterior region. OBJECTIVES: To compare the 5- and 10-year survival and complication outcomes of tooth- and implant-supported FDPs and to assess patient-reported effects....

Familial Co‐Aggregation of Neurodevelopmental Conditions and Childhood‐Onset Type 1 Diabetes

ABSTRACT Aim Childhood‐onset Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs). We examined whether this association extends to relatives and assessed phenotypic, genetic, and environmental correlations between T1D and NDCs. Methods Using Swedish regis...

Oral health effects of nicotine pouches in snus users: clinical and immunological findings

Abstract Objectives Changes in the oral mucosa are characteristic of snus-induced lesions (SILs), typically occurring at the site of pouch placement. These lesions are reversible after cessation. This study evaluated the effects of two non-tobacco-based nicotine pouches (ZYN ® Dr...

Divergent Forest Cover Changes Dominate Inter‐Model Spread in Near‐Surface Wind Speed Trends Over China

Abstract Near‐surface wind speed (NSWS) regulates the intensity of land‐atmosphere fluxes and the viability of wind energy systems, playing a pivotal role in human adaptation to climate change. However, at the current stage, global climate models exhibit a wide inter‐model spread...
