Humidity Ramp Protocols Systematically Underestimate Human Heat Tolerance Limits

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Short dwell times in humidity‐ramp protocols (Δt/τ≪1 ${\Delta }t/\tau \mathit{\ll }1$) prevent human core temperature from reaching equilibrium, causing premature inflection points and systematic underestimation of critical environmental limits by ∼3°C–4°C.

Proctoring in a Second Language: Exploring Fairness and Justice in Remote English Language Testing

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Remote proctoring is increasingly common in English language testing (Isbell & Kremmel, 2020), yet it often requires communication in the target language, unlike in‐person centers that may offer support in test‐takers' first language. Although prior studies have noted communication challenges in remote testing environments (Green & Lung, 2021;

Designing Feedback and Assessment for GenAI‐Assisted Digital Multimodal Composition in L2

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract The rapidly evolving use of GenAI leads to a crucial need for new approaches to instruction and assessment of language skills in DMC tasks. The study adopted a convergent mixed‐methods design within an 11‐week action research framework. The study was conducted with 12 Turkish tertiary‐level L2 learners based on a process‐genre pedagogy to ...

Cortisol concentrations in hair are biomarkers of health status and seasonal change, but not urbanisation, in wolves

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wolves have reclaimed much of their former range in Europe, including areas with a high human footprint, yet the physiological impacts of human‐associated stressors remain poorly understood. We first examined methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in wolves by using a ‘shave/re‐shave' design to assess hair growth rate and ...
