The disappearance of malaria from Denmark, 1862–1900

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The reason for malaria's disappearance from northwestern Europe in the early twentieth century has long been discussed but remains an unresolved conundrum. This is partially due to a previous focus on the early modern era, and partially because various theories have never been tested against each other.

Large CO2 reduction and enhanced thermal performance of agro-forestry, construction and demolition waste based fly ash bricks for sustainable construction

Scientific Reports
The exhaust gases in production of burnt clay bricks is responsible for greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission which increase the carbon footprint in the ecosystem. Here, we report carbon emission and thermal performance based evaluation of 8 ft. × 9 ft.

Antibacterial efficacy of metals in preventative and therapeutic equine podiatry applications

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Thrush, abscesses, white line disease and cankers are life‐threatening infections common in equine hooves. Copper has a history of medicinal use on equine hooves. There is a paucity of scientific evidence supporting the use of metals as antimicrobial agents in equine podiatry.

Embodied Narrations: Video Narrative Inquiry for Meaning‐Making of Learning Contexts

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract This text begins with the initial question of how we can narrate in a situated and meaningful way about the processes of teaching and learning, not to repeat what we imagine that we should say and already know, but to be truthful with respect to the issues that affect us and matter to us.

Doing Autoethnography, Teaching Autoethnography as a White Woman Architect‐Educator‐Researcher in South Africa

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract This autoethnographic study lies at the intersection of architectural, teaching and research practice through the lens of an architect‐teacher‐researcher working in post‐Apartheid South Africa. The research traces a shift from unconscious design practice to a more conscious, critical and careful practice through practice‐based design research ...

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

Pearl‐Like Bioinspired Coating Enables Regulation of Mg Degradation for Osteoporotic Bone Repair

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
In this study, inspired by pearl architecture, we developed a layered Ca–P “brick” and Fn‐mimetic peptide “mortar” coating on Mg alloys. The Ca–P layer moderates corrosion and offers mineral cues, while the peptide enhances adhesion and regulates immune‐vascular responses.
