Free Expression and Coerced Choice: The Role of the Army and Lord Protector in Miltonic Freedom

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scholarly approaches to understanding freedom in Milton's prose tend to connect Milton's ideas to either liberalism or republicanism. Neither of these approaches is sufficient because freedom, for Milton, was not a single concept. Milton explored political and religious freedom very differently.

Psychological stress catalyses free radical–mediated activation of coagulation in humans

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This study provides the first in vivo evidence that acute psychological stress triggers systemic free radical formation and prothrombotic remodelling of blood clot microstructure. By inducing stress in healthy participants, we observed a significant increase in oxidative stress (A•−), a shortening of the intrinsic pathway of ...

On the additive image of zeroth persistent homology

open access: yesTransactions of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 13, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract For a category X$X$ and a finite field F$F$, we study the additive image of the functor H0(−;F)∗:rep(X,Top)→rep(X,VectF)$\operatorname{H}_0(-;F)_* \colon \operatorname{rep}(X, \mathbf {Top}) \rightarrow \operatorname{rep}(X, \mathbf {Vect}_F)$, or equivalently, of the free functor rep(X,Set)→rep(X,VectF)$\operatorname{rep}(X, \mathbf {Set ...

Rational points on even‐dimensional Fermat cubics

open access: yesTransactions of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 13, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract We show that even‐dimensional Fermat cubic hypersurfaces are rational over any field of characteristic not equal to three, by constructing explicit rational parameterizations with polynomials of low degree. As a byproduct of our rationality constructions, we obtain estimates for the number of their rational points over a number field and ...

Causal Effect Estimation With TMLE: Handling Missing Data and Near Violations of Positivity

open access: yesBiometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We evaluate the performance of targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) for estimating the average treatment effect in missing data scenarios under varying levels of positivity violations. We employ model‐ and design‐based simulations, with the latter using undersmoothed highly adaptive lasso on the “WASH Benefits Bangladesh” data set to ...

Fairness at Risk: Where Bias Emerges in Machine Learning

open access: yesExpert Systems, Volume 43, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) now shape decisions in healthcare, finance and security, but they can reproduce historical prejudice and inequality. Bias in training data and in model implementation can amplify harm, especially for racial and gender minorities.

Sentence Variability in a Mathematical Sentencing Framework: A Statistical Analysis of Brazilian Court Data

open access: yesJournal of Empirical Legal Studies, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 160-171, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This article presents the findings of a quantitative study on sentencing practices in Brazil, focusing on the presence of numerical patterns and “penal clustering” in judicial decisions. Drawing on a dataset of criminal sentences from São Paulo—the country's most populous and active judiciary—the research statistically investigates whether ...

A New Hilbert's Hotel Argument Against Past‐Eternalism

open access: yesAnalytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 145-153, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper offers a new formulation of the “Hilbert's Hotel Argument” (HHA) which is superior to existing formulations because it (1) demonstrates that HH is logically impossible in the concrete world, (2) takes into account the need to consider the assumptions of HHA, and (3) offers a reply to an important objection concerning the validity of

Bridging New Divides: Ethnic Linkages and Trade in Africa

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Economics, Volume 94, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper studies the effects of ethnic linkages on trade between countries within Africa. I construct a digitised and geo‐referenced dataset of historical ethnic territories for pre‐colonial Africa. The empirical strategy exploits the role of historical ethnic territories in shaping the current distribution of ethnic groups across countries ...
