Cultural capital and the social origin pay gap in the UK: Do you like the opera?

A wealth of qualitative literature on the ‘class ceiling’ highlights how cultural capital plays a role in the social origin pay gap. However, no study has quantitatively examined this association. This paper uses data from Understanding Society, measuring cultural capital via res...

Partial connectivity and fine-scale population structure in Honduran Anopheles albimanus inferred from microsatellite markers

<title>Abstract</title> Background Understanding population connectivity in malaria vectors is important for surveillance in elimination settings, where local dispersal and population subdivision may influence residual transmission and the spread of adaptive traits. <italic>Anoph...

Long-memory and cyclical link prediction in temporal social networks

<title>Abstract</title> Temporal social networks contain persistent tie activation and periodic communication rhythms, but most link prediction models either emphasize short-term recurrence or rely on black-box embeddings that offer no interpretable summary of temporal structure....

Bundled Dialect Contrasts Measure a Mixture: A Feature-Isolating Matched-Pair Audit of Safety-Critical Support in Language Models

Bundled Dialect Contrasts Measure a Mixture: A Feature-Isolating Matched-Pair Audit of Safety-Critical Support in Language Models. Preprint, version 4.0 (August 2026). Not peer reviewed. Supersedes version 2.0 (June 2026); version 3 was an internal reframe and was not deposited....

Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Against Pneumonia and COPD Exacerbations Among Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Thailand: A National Test-Negative Design Study, 2013–2024

ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Influenza infection is a major trigger of pneumonia and acute exacerbations among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, national laboratory-confirmed evidence on influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) in this high-risk p...

TaxoFlow: a step-by-step tutorial to build a nextflow pipeline for metagenomics taxonomic classification

Reproducibility challenges scientific reporting, including metagenomics, where increasingly complex bioinformatics pipelines hinder transparency, comparability, and customization for life science students globally. To address this demanding task, we built an open, interactive and...

Approaches to sharing trial results with adult patients and the public: a qualitative interview and focus group study

<title>Abstract</title> Background Sharing trial results with participants is increasingly recognised as an ethical obligation that fosters trust, respect, and engagement. Yet in practice, results are rarely shared. Researchers often lack guidance on what information to include o...

No Argument for the World: A Control-Theoretic Audit of RLHF's Missing Runtime Loop — and the Verification Architecture That Closes It Without an Oracle

A language model trained by reinforcement learning from human feedback is optimised against a reward function whose arguments are a prompt and a response. That function takes no argument for the state of the world. The grader cannot see the world, and so what it can reward is the...

Proteogenomic profiling identifies FGFR2b as a prevalent cell-surface target in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Abstract Purpose: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is rising in incidence and is associated with limited treatment options and poor prognosis, particularly in advanced disease. Recently, biologic strategies such as antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) have expanded therapeutic o...

Bridging the gap in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis care: a mixed-methods study of treatment outcomes, enrolment, and caregiver perspectives in Oyo State, Nigeria

<title>Abstract</title> Background: Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) remains a major public health challenge, particularly in high-burden countries like Nigeria. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, gaps in treatment enrollment and completion continue to undermin...

A Collaborative Multi-Compression Acceleration Mechanism for Neural Networks in Keyword Spotting

To address the large model size, high computational cost, and limited deployment re-sources of keyword spotting models on edge platforms, this study proposes a collaborative multi-compression acceleration framework for lightweight deployment. Built on an end-to-end convolutional...

Characterising semiconductor laser phase noise using delayed self-homodyne measurements with optical coherent reception

We report on the experimental and theoretical analysis of the phase noise of the light emitted by a single-mode laser diode. We analyze the time dependence of the variance of the optical phase obtained in a delayed self-homodyne with optical coherent reception setup. This analysi...

The moderating role of psychological flexibility in the relationship between partner phubbing and romantic jealousy among Iranian women

With the increasing use of digital technology, addressing related challenges has become highly important due to their potential impact on romantic relationships. The present study aimed to investigate the moderating role of psychological flexibility in the relationship between pa...

First Light And Reionization Epoch Simulations (FLARES) XXI: The UV Indices of Galaxies in the Early Universe

UV absorption line indices trace both chemical enrichment and star formation histories in high-redshift galaxies, yet their reliability as tracers of stellar metallicity (Z*) remains uncertain. In this study, we combine synthetic spectral modelling and cosmological simulations to...

Being moved enhances pro-environmental intentions: The mediating role of connectedness to nature

Enhancing individuals’ behavioral intentions is crucial for addressing current environmental issues. To investigate the role of being moved, a positive self-transcendent emotion, in strengthening individuals’ pro-environmental intentions, we conducted five studies (N = 1271). The...

Computed tomographic arthrography of the coxofemoral joint in horses

&lt;b&gt;Background&lt;/b&gt;: Investigation of pathology relating to the coxofemoral joint (CFJ) in horses includes intra-articular analgesia and diagnostic imaging using ultrasonography, radiography, scintigraphy, and computed tomography (CT). While CT arthrography has been des...

Experimental Investigation on Mechanical Behavior of Sandstone Containing Two Non‐Coplanar Fissures Under Triaxial Monotonic and Multilevel Cyclic Loading

ABSTRACT Natural rock masses with complex fissures are frequently subjected to multilevel cyclic loading during underground engineering construction. The effect of fissure layout patterns and confining pressure on the fatigue mechanical behavior of fissured rocks remains poorly u...

Mélange diapir origin for Neo-Tethyan ridge-subduction magmatism

The mélange diapir model invokes physical mixing of partially melted slab components with mantle wedge peridotite, enabling material transfer from the subducted slab to the overlying mantle wedge. However, identifying distinctive igneous rock suites generated through this process...

Intermediate spaces as sites of spatial inclusion and exclusion: an ethno-architectural study of dwelling-together in Moroccan collective housing

Intermediate spaces in Moroccan collective housing residences constitute a privileged site for observing the dynamic and complex relationship between social bonds and spatial configurations. This article examines how these interface spaces between private and public shape dwellin...

SAD-ReID: Semantically-anchored dynamics for unsupervised vehicle re-identification

<title>Abstract</title> Unsupervised vehicle re-identification (Re-ID) is pivotal for scalable intelligent transportation systems but faces significant challenges from severe noise accumulation. Traditional clustering-based methods often suffer from error propagation during onlin...
