Faster growing and more functionally diverse: global change alters functional trait composition of mountain plant communities in the European Alps

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how global change reshapes mountain plant communities is essential for predicting biodiversity and ecosystem function in a warming world. Using resurvey data from over 1400 non‐forest vegetation plots across the European Alps, we show that community‐weighted means of key functional traits capturing important dimensions of plant ecological

Changing Minds in Times of War: An Intervention Tournament to Increase Public Support for Ending the Israel–Gaza War

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Public opinion plays a central role in shaping conflict dynamics and influencing wartime policy. In this work, we examined which psychological intergroup interventions could increase public opposition to war. Building on research showing that instrumental reasoning and social identification are central, though not exhaustive, predictors of war‐

SUDEP and mortality in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies: A meta‐analysis of randomized clinical trials and extension studies

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are associated with high premature mortality and increased risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). However, epidemiological data remain limited, particularly for specific syndromes such as Dravet syndrome (DS), Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), and infantile epileptic ...

Effectiveness of a Reduced-Risk Insecticide Based Bed Bug Management Program in Low-Income Housing

Insects, 2013
Bed bug (Cimex lectularius L.) infestations are becoming increasingly common in low-income communities. Once they are introduced, elimination is very difficult.

Stability Evaluation and Parametric Optimization of Coal‐Concrete Composite Bearing Systems Under Mine‐Water‐Induced Deterioration: Experiments and FEINN Analysis

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Mine‐water immersion tests reveal pronounced coal weakening (vs. minor concrete degradation), identifying coal pillars as the stability‐limiting component in composite dams. A coupled FEINN framework quantifies extreme‐pressure stability and ranks multi‐parameter designs via a normalized multi‐indicator scheme, enabling optimized dam configuration for ...

Long-Term Efficacy of Various Natural or “Green” Insecticides against Bed Bugs: A Double-Blind Study

Insects, 2014
Bed bugs are resurging throughout the world, and, thus, effective pest control strategies are constantly needed. A few studies have evaluated 25(b) and other natural, or so-called “green” products, as well as over-the-counter insecticides for bed bugs ...

Air pollution exposure during training impairs performance in Thoroughbred racehorses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ambient air pollution contributes substantially to human morbidity and mortality, and athletes are recognised as a particularly vulnerable group. However, little is known about the impact of air pollution on equine athletes. Objectives To explore the relationship between air pollution exposure during the pre‐competition training ...

Antibacterial Hydrogel Dressing With Ca2+‐Dependent Hyaluronidase Responsiveness for Accelerating Wound Healing via On‐Demand Release of AIE Photosensitizers

Exploration, EarlyView.
This study innovates a Ca2+‐responsive hydrogel dressing that releases AIE photosensitizers on‐demand. Low Ca2+ enhances bacterial hyaluronidase (HAase) activity, degrading hyaluronic acid dressing to trigger antibacterial ROS release, while high Ca2+ inhibits HAase, preventing overdosing.

A Prediction Model for One‐Year Disability Risk Among Community‐Dwelling Older Adults in China: Integrating Physical, Metabolic, and Psychosocial Factors

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
Based on a prospective cohort of 1003 older adults, we developed and validated a practical disability prediction model integrating physical, metabolic, and psychosocial factors (AUC = 0.716), presented via a user‐friendly nomogram for community use. ABSTRACT Background Disability in older adults, characterized by progressive limitations in performing ...

Machine Learning Methods to Predict the Length of Stay for Acute Stroke: A Scoping Review and Meta‐Analysis

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
Current machine learning models for predicting the length of stay for acute stroke lack clinical utility and reliability. This scoping review highlights areas for improvement to develop more robust, interpretable, generalizable, and clinically actionable models that optimize personalized clinical pathways and support precise decision‐making for stroke ...
