A Media Analysis of Debates on Extended Alcohol Trading Hours Changes in Scotland

Drug and Alcohol Review, Volume 45, Issue 6, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Between 2017 and 2019, different policy processes in two large Scottish cities led to local authorities granting licences for later on‐premises alcohol trading hours. As a part of a wider mixed methods study, we examine news media reporting of these licencing changes to understand the content and progression of arguments at the ...

Eligible but Not Entitled: The Distinctiveness of Non‐Entitlement Policy Designs at the Frontline

Social Policy &Administration, Volume 60, Issue 5, Page 810-819, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the distinctive dynamics of entitlement versus non‐entitlement social programmes, focusing on how this distinction influences frontline workers' management of access to social provisions. While much of the existing literature emphasises the macro‐level impacts of these alternative policy designs, this study focuses on their

Sum rules for permutations with fixed points involving Stirling numbers of the first kind

Indonesian Journal of Combinatorics
We propose sum rules for permutations pn(k) of the ensemble {1,2,...,n} with k fixed points, in the form of partial sums of their moments. The corresponding identities involve Stirling numbers of the first kind s(q,r).

Probabilistic heterogeneous Stirling numbers and Bell polynomials

Integral Transforms and Special Functions
Let Y be a random variable satisfying specific moment conditions. This paper introduces and investigates probabilistic heterogeneous Stirling numbers of the second kind and probabilistic heterogeneous Bell polynomials. These structures unify several classical and probabilistic families, including those of Stirling, Lah, Bell and Lah-Bell.

Denning Phenology Mediates Sea‐Ice Loss Impacts on Early Reproductive Success in Polar Bears

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Changes in overwinter sheltering phenology in response to climate change and their fitness consequences have rarely been studied. Here, we show that climate change has disrupted the phenology of overwinter maternity denning in polar bears, with females emerging from den earlier when sea‐ice had been scarce the preceding year.

Exercise Dependence and Cardiovascular Reactivity to Acute Psychological Stress: An Extension and Replication Study

Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Low cardiovascular reactions to acute psychological stress have been shown among those with substance and non‐substance dependencies like exercise dependence. However, associations between exercise dependence and low cardiovascular reactions to stress have been demonstrated between small sex‐specific groups with extreme exercise dependence ...
