From frameworks to futures: health adaptation pathways across the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways

Abstract Effectively managing the rising health risks of climate change requires consideration of plausible adaptation pathways under a range of scenarios of changes in greenhouse gas emissions and socioeconomic development to systematically explore the solution space for climate...

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...

Progressive oxygenation of developing leaves directs morphogenesis

Abstract Oxygen availability underpins energy production in multicellular organisms, yet internal oxygen gradients arise in both plants and animals. Plants sense these variations via the PLANT CYSTEINE OXIDASE branch of the N-degron pathway, which regulates the stability of key t...

Long-term outcomes of childhood ADHD stimulant use trajectories

Background. Stimulant medication is the first-line pharmacological treatment option for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, long-term effects remain unclear. Therefore, we explored long-term (>12 years) outcomes of childhood stimulant medicatio...

Severity of Reactions in Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Food Challenges: New Insights From the EuroPrevall Outpatient Clinic Study

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Oral food challenge, particularly double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC), is the gold standard for diagnosis of food allergy, although safety concerns limit its widespread use. Objectives: To evaluate the severity of reactions during DB...

Including linear landscape elements improves fine-scale species distribution models of bees and hoverflies

Abstract Context Species distribution models combine environmental and occurrence data to map and predict habitat suitability for a species. Predicting species distributions in agricultural regions can be challenging due to historical under-sampling in those areas and the presenc...

Financial participation and compensation schemes in the European wind energy sector: A systematic classification and assessment (2006–2025)

Wind energy is indispensable for achieving European climate targets, yet local resistance continues to delay or block projects. Financial participation and compensation (FPC) schemes are increasingly used to foster local acceptance by redistributing economic benefits to affected...

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...

Same variable, different values? A multilevel Latent Transition Analysis of students’ thinking about values of variables

Abstract Understanding the values that variables can take is a central challenge in students’ early encounters with algebra. While previous research has documented a range of numerical preconceptions related to variable values, much less is known about how they co-occur and devel...

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...

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...

Correlation of [ 68 Ga]Ga-RAYZ-8009 PET/CT Uptake with Immunohistochemical Glypican-3 Expression in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Proof-of-Target Study

Glypican-3, a cell-surface proteoglycan, is overexpressed in most hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). Recently, the glypican-3–targeted PET tracer [68Ga]Ga-RAYZ-8009 was shown to enable noninvasive detection of HCC. This retrospective analysis evaluates the correlation between tumo...

Health state utility values in children with peanut allergy and their caregivers: a UK vignette study

Peanut allergy is a common allergy in children, affecting the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of the child and other members of the family. Demonstrating health state utility values (HSUVs) for children with peanut allergy is a requirement for reimbursement of treatments i...

On the non-linear response of Antarctic ice shelf surface melt to warming

Abstract. Surface meltwater can saturate firn, form melt ponds, and trigger hydrofracturing of Antarctic ice shelves, ultimately accelerating grounded ice flow and contributing to sea level rise. Although the response of surface melt to atmospheric warming (expressed by near-surf...

Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists

Societal Impact Statement Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 100...

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...

Care Preferences Beyond Filial Piety: How Second‐Generation Chinese Migrants in the Netherlands Plan Care for Ageing Parents?

ABSTRACT As more first‐generation Chinese migrants in the Netherlands reach older age, increased attention is required to reconcile their care needs and expectations with the expectations and perspectives of their adult children. Moving beyond filial piety, this study examines ho...

Radiocarbon in atmospheric CH 4 and CO 2 at Jungfraujoch in 2019–2024: influence of regional nuclear emissions and current global atmospheric 14 CH 4 signal

Abstract. Radiocarbon (14C) is a valuable tracer to determine the relative fossil fractions of emitted carbonaceous greenhouse gases, such as CO2 and CH4. While atmospheric ∆14CO2 measurements have been conducted at multiple sites for several decades, ∆14CH4 measurements remain m...

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...
