Hatching failure and embryo mortality in endangered populations of Eurasian Curlew (Numenius arquata)

Ibis, EarlyView.
Hatching failure represents a significant and growing barrier to reproductive success in threatened birds and yet is often poorly understood. Populations of the Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland have experienced significant declines over recent decades, and low breeding productivity is a major barrier to ...

To stop or not? Mediterranean migrants differ in both arrival condition and refuelling success after barrier crossing

Ibis, EarlyView.
Understanding refuelling performance at stopover sites is central to elucidating the migration strategies of passerines, particularly at Mediterranean landfall islands where birds arrive after crossing major ecological barriers. We investigated fuel deposition dynamics and potential flight range in five long‐distance migrant passerines (Great Reed ...

Open‐Weight Deep Learning for Periapical Index Scoring: Training and Comparison of Convolutional Neural Network Models Based on Three Distinct Architectures and an Ensemble Approach

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study aimed to (i) train and compare three convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures for Periapical Index (PAI) scoring on intraoral radiographs, and (ii) assess whether an ensemble of these models improves performance compared with any single architecture.

Finetuning Pre‐Trained Language Models for Automatic Assessment of English‐Chinese Interpreting

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent years have seen growing interest in leveraging pre‐trained language models (PLMs) for automatic assessment of spoken‐language performance. Contributing to this emerging line of work, the present study offers the first attempt to finetune two PLMs, GTE‐multilingual and mmBERT, for assessing English‐Chinese interpreting, using over 1700 ...

Boss Quality and Employee Work Intensity: Evidence from Europe and the United States

Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How does boss quality relate to the work intensity of subordinates? Bridging research on the antecedents of work intensity and the consequences of boss quality, we analyze this relationship using data from the 2015 European Working Conditions Survey and longitudinal data from the 2015/2018 American Working Conditions Survey. In cross‐sectional,

Is There a Social Cure for Climate Change Distress and Impairment? Initial Evidence That Group‐Based Control Might Shield General Well‐Being

Journal of Applied Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change undermines well‐being through helplessness and loss of control. The social identity approach to health (“social cure”) and group‐based control theory suggest that identification with ingroups may maintain resilience to climate threats by sustaining a sense of control. Drawing on these accounts, the present study examines whether
