Device-Measured Physical Activity, Sedentary Time, and Cardiometabolic Risk Markers in Youth

Importance The evidence for benefits of higher physical activity and lower sedentary time on the cardiometabolic risk profile in youth is based on cross-sectional and small prospective studies. Objective To determine the prospective associations between device-measured physical a...

Professional Perspectives on Children's Participation in the Chilean Child Protection System

ABSTRACT Meaningful participation in child protection systems is crucial for enhancing both decision‐making processes and the lives of children and adolescents. This study explores professionals' perceptions of child participation and risk assessment within the Chilean Child Prot...

Consistent estimates of carbonyl sulfide and methane stratospheric lifetimes retrieved from AirCore profiles at different latitudes

Stratospheric loss is a major sink for both carbonyl sulfide (COS) and methane (CH 4 ), but their stratospheric lifetimes and sinks remain poorly constrained because high-resolution observations of their vertical distributions in the lower stratosphere are sparse. Here, we estima...

Weighting of Spectral and Temporal Cues with n-of-m Cochlear Implant Strategies Depends on Voice Pitch

Abstract Purpose The relative contributions of spectral and temporal cues to voice pitch perception in cochlear implant (CI) users remain unclear. This study aimed to directly quantify these contributions in dynamic speech stimuli with clinical n -of- m processors. Methods Fundam...

TNFR2 agonist treatment differentially affects neuropathology and neuroimmune responses in male and female 3xTg-AD mice

Neuroinflammation is a central contributor to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression, with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) playing a key regulatory role as a master pro-inflammatory cytokine. While therapies inhibiting total TNF-α have produced inconsistent results and adverse...

Neurofeedback enhances a neural signature of selective attention to speech in cocktail-party settings

Understanding speech in noisy situations is challenging and often fails due to attentional rather than sensory deficits. We report here that neurofeedback can enhance a neural signature of selective attention to speech in a cocktail-party setting. Neural responses to speech were...

Who perceives access? Disparities in satisfaction with public transport availability and associations with perceived accessibility in the Netherlands

Accessible public transport is important for meeting daily mobility needs and supporting activity participation, particularly among vulnerable groups. Understanding how different population groups perceive access to public transport is critical in addressing transport-related soc...

Toward the Use of Real‐World Data for Regulatory and HTA Decision‐Making: Experiences and Recommendations from Six EU ‐Funded Projects

Real-world data are increasingly important for regulatory and health technology assessment decision-making, yet their effective use across Europe remains limited by technical, methodological, regulatory, and societal challenges. Drawing on the experiences of six Horizon Europe pr...

A remarkable case of an adult male Western Marsh Harrier Circus aeruginosus killed in fire at its non-breeding site in Africa

We report on the remarkable case of an adult male Western Marsh Harrier Circus aeruginosus (family Accipitridae), tracked using a GPS-GSM logger, that was killed in a rice stubble fire at its non-breeding site in Mali, West Africa. The inferred time of death, as derived from the...

A neuromodulable current-mode silicon neuron for robust and adaptive neuromorphic systems

Abstract Neuromorphic engineering makes use of mixed-signal analog and digital circuits to directly emulate the computational principles of biological brains. Such electronic systems offer a high degree of adaptability, robustness, and energy efficiency across a wide range of tas...

Decoding technology transition process through consumer behavior: experience from China’s electric vehicle evolution

The competition between electric vehicles (EVs) and internal combustion engine vehicles is fundamentally shaped by how heterogeneous consumers respond to technological and market change. This study develops a decision-based framework that links micro-level adoption behavior with...

Geographic Citation Insularity in Digital Humanities: A Bibliometric Analysis Using OpenAlex and The Index of DH Conferences

This paper addresses three research questions: (1) To what extent do DH scholars cite works from their own country? (2) How does observed citation insularity compare to a null model based on country-level publication shares? (3)How have these patterns changed over time (2007–2025...

Morphosyntactic processing of complex nonwords in sentence context: An ERP study

The current study aimed to understand morphosyntactic processing of suffixes in sentence context. We employed Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) to assess how the morphosyntactic features carried by suffixes are integrated in the syntactic structure of the sentence during reading. T...

Major adverse cardiac events and mortality associated with ADHD and its treatment in adults with type 2 diabetes: a multi-national cohort study

Abstract Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been linked to elevated risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the impact of ADHD and ADHD medication use on prognosis and health outcomes in T2D remains unclear. This study investigates the associations of...

Beyond Park Boundaries: Pastoral Rangelands as Functional Habitat for Migratory Herbivores in the Serengeti Ecosystem

ABSTRACT Communal rangelands outside core protected areas are vital for biodiversity conservation and pastoral livelihoods. The Serengeti–Mara Ecosystem (SME) in Tanzania and Kenya includes both protected areas and communal areas that border the parks. The communal areas provide...

Unsulfated secondary bile acids and structurally defined pectins modulate intestinal barrier responses under acute hyperglycemic conditions in intestinal epithelial co-cultures

The intestinal epithelial barrier maintains gut homeostasis and limits systemic inflammation. Barrier dysfunction is linked to metabolic disorders including diabetes, yet the combined effects of hyperglycemia, microbial metabolites, and dietary polysaccharides on epithelial integ...

Cumulative Duration and Habitat Selection Across the Annual‐Cycle Stages: Links to Human Modification in Two Declining Shorebirds

ABSTRACT Although tracking studies have identified shorebird migration routes along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, how cumulative duration and habitat selection vary across annual‐cycle stages and relate to human modification of habitats remains poorly understood. We integra...

Coral-associated denitrification is seasonally variable and species-specific

Abstract Nitrogen (N) plays a critical role in coral growth, but maintaining an N-limited state is essential for coral-algal symbiosis stability. Coral-associated denitrifiers may help regulate excess N, though denitrification in corals remains poorly quantified. To better unders...

Options for Compression of radio interferometry data: lossy compression of visibilities and lossless compression of uv-visibility grids for the MHONGOOSE survey

Abstract Next generation radio astronomy telescopes are challenging existing data reduction paradigms. With ever more antennas, larger bandwidths, and sometimes multiple primary beams, they often generate more observed data products than can readily be stored long-term. Thus, dat...

Synthesis-Dependent Phase Evolution and Catalytic Behavior of Unsupported Iron Catalysts for CO2 Hydrogenation to C2-C4=

Iron-based catalysts are widely investigated for CO2 hydrogenation to light olefins due to their low cost, abundance, and ability to form oxidic and carbidic phases involved in the RWGS-FTS pathway. However, supports and promoters can obscure the intrinsic role of iron phase evol...
