The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.

A branch-adaptive framework for multi-timescale wind power forecasting: Optimization via hybrid evolutionary algorithm and physics-informed modeling

International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems
High-precision multi-timescale wind power forecasting is critical for grid security. However, existing unified architectures often struggle to simultaneously capture high-frequency transients in real-time horizons and long-term dependencies in day-ahead ...

‘Theological Metaphysics’ and the Christological Determination of the Principle of Analogy: A Response to John Betz's Christ, the Logos of Creation

International Journal of Systematic Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper is a response to John Betz's book, Christ, the Logos of Creation: An Essay in Analogical Metaphysics (Emmaus Academic, 2023). The essay confines itself to answering two methodological questions, namely: Does Przywara's approach to analogy indeed represent the basic form (‘Denkform’) that analogy has ‘always assumed’ in Catholic ...

Marriage of Love? Cross‐Fertilisation Between Illiberalism and Euroscepticism

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The article contributes to the conceptual mapping of the interaction between Euroscepticism and illiberalism, suggesting that there is a mutual reinforcement process between them. The overlaps cover the following areas: the critique of supranationalism, the resulting defence of national sovereignty, the defence of the (national) majority ...

Disc Mower Modifications to Reduce Suction Effects Do Not Decrease Insect Losses During Grassland Mowing

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among other anthropogenic factors, intensive agriculture, including frequent mowing, has largely contributed to the decline of the grassland fauna in Central Europe. Disc mowers, the predominant mowing technology, have long been suspected to cause high arthropod mortality mainly through suction generated by slanted blades.

Optimizing Aerodynamic Efficiency of Motionless Paired Airfoil Wind Turbine: A Numerical and Experimental Study

Energies
The motionless wind turbine with opposing paired airfoils offers a compact and noiseless alternative to conventional wind energy systems, but its performance remains well below the Betz limit, limiting urban deployment potential.

Factors Influencing the Implementation of Transitional Care for Adolescents With Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities: Experiences of Dutch Healthcare Professionals

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The transition from paediatric to adult healthcare is particularly challenging for adolescents with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) and their families. This study aims to identify factors that Dutch healthcare professionals perceived as relevant to successful implementation of transitional care for adolescents

Trade Wars, International Supply Chains, and Business Associations: Historical Evidence from Norway and Portugal

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the 1921–1923 trade war between Norway and Portugal as a historical case for exploring business responses to deglobalization and trade disruption. Focusing on the international supply chains (ISCs) of port wine and salted and dried cod, it investigates how business actors contributed to the recoupling of ISCs after a ...

The Analogia Entis for Reformed Theology: Retrieving Calvin's Implicit Metaphysics

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract The famous controversy between Emil Brunner and Karl Barth which led to Barth's ‘No!’ was driven by disagreements over how to read John Calvin: Barth and Brunner never agreed on whether Calvin had a doctrine of the analogy of being. This article rekindles the debate.
