Akaike information criterion for segmented regression models

In segmented regression, when the regression function is continuous at the change-points that are the boundaries of the segments, it is also called joinpoint regression, and the analysis package developed by \cite{KimFFM00} has become a standard tool for analyzing trends in longitudinal data in the field of epidemiology.

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

Scaling and ecomorphology of lagomorph body shape and appendicular skeleton

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Body shape is one of the most prominent features of phenotypic variation. Yet, mammalian body shapes are poorly quantified and the underlying components contributing to its diversity and its relationship to other skeletal components are rarely tested.

Multivariate Analysis of Hematological Stress Biomarkers and Welfare Domains in Organic and Intensive Pig Farming in Italy: A Pilot Study

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Intensive or organic farming systems may expose pigs to management or environmental challenges. Our preliminary results concluded that organic farming might enhance adaptive immune function, showing that improvements in welfare can translate into measurable immunological benefits, based on the correlation between welfare assessment and physiological ...

Epidemiological Survey and Genomic Insights Into Ostreid Herpesvirus 1 Transmission in the Blood Clam Anadara broughtonii in China (2019–2025)

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Seven‐year surveillance reveals a cold‐adapted OsHV‐1 lineage in blood clams, with disease onset at 13°C—3–5°C lower than in oysters—and identifies asymptomatic carriers and facility effluent as key transmission routes. ABSTRACT Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV‐1) poses a major threat to bivalve aquaculture, but its impact on blood clams (Anadara ...

Relationship between continuous infusion meropenem PK/PD target attainment and C‐reactive protein dynamics in onco‐haematologic patients with febrile neutropenia

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Meropenem is a second‐line antimicrobial agent in the treatment of febrile neutropenia in onco‐haematological patients. A population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analysis for assessing the relationship between meropenem exposure and C‐reactive protein (C‐RP) over time was conducted.

The quantification and epistemology of medicines use and polypharmacy tested in an observational study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Definitions of ‘medicines use’ and ‘polypharmacy’ may refer to all medicines, regular long‐term medicines or another subset. Valid definitions of medicines use should incorporate type of use (long term, short course and as needed [PRN]), changes in use (start, stop and dose change) and a description of temporal examination (cross‐sectional or ...

Educational pathways and outcomes for care‐experienced children: A 16‐year longitudinal study

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Children who are removed from their birth families during childhood—termed care‐experienced—can be at risk for lower educational attainment and poorer school experiences, often linked to deprivation and behavioural factors. However, research often uses aggregated measures that obscure the complexities of care (e.g.

Predictors of authorised, unauthorised and persistent absence among secondary school pupils in Scotland

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the factors associated with persistent absenteeism (an absence rate of 10% or higher) and authorised and unauthorised absence among secondary school pupils in Scotland. Using linked administrative data, the analysis focuses on secondary school stages S1–S6 in three academic years.
