Monitoring and follow-up of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in a war context at Virunga General Hospital : causes leading to therapeutic failure in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology
Background Treatment failure in pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains a major obstacle to TB control, particularly in conflict-affected and resource-limited settings where continuity of care and treatment adherence are frequently compromised.

A Modern Metrical Baseline for Sexing Sheep Horn‐Cores

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sex determination is essential for reconstructing past livestock management, yet the limited skeletal sexual dimorphism of sheep hinders the identification of ewes, rams, and wethers in archaeological assemblages. Horn‐cores are the most sexually dimorphic element of the sheep skeleton, and here, we establish a new metrical baseline for ...

Home and away: allometry and climate drive morphology of European rabbits in their native and introduced range

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climatic conditions shape phenotypic evolution by driving adaptations that optimise organismal function. Invasive species provide valuable systems to study these processes, as they often encounter novel climatic conditions in their introduced ranges. The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, native to the Iberian Peninsula, has established populations

When Politics Shapes Administration: Bureaucratic Autonomy, Policy Role Separation, and Organizational Capacity in an Institutionally Weak Public Administration

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of administrative autonomy and the separation of roles in public policy on organizational capacity within hybrid public administration systems, particularly in Colombia. It explores the dynamics between elected officials and civil servants, focusing on how the division of responsibilities and the autonomy granted

Feast or famine: How food deserts, wealth and greenspace correlate with coyote diets in Seattle, Washington

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban environments create unique challenges for wildlife, where dietary habits may reflect both ecological heterogeneity and societal disparities. In this study, we explored how social factors such as household income and human population density, and ecological factors such as tree canopy correlate with coyote (Canis latrans) diets in Seattle,

Modelling Security Market Events in Continuous Time: Intensity based, Multivariate Point Process Models [PDF]

A continuous time econometric modelling framework for multivariate market event (or 'transactions') data is developed in which the model is specified via the vector stochastic intensity. This has the advantage that the conditioning sigma-field is updated

Bivariate postprocessing of wind vectors

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We introduce three novel bivariate postprocessing approaches and analyze their performance for joint postprocessing of bivariate wind‐vector components in Germany. Bivariate vine‐copula‐based models, a bivariate gradient‐boosted version of ensemble model output statistics (EMOS), and a bivariate distributional regression network (DRN) are compared with
