Unnatural Wills: Inheritance Disputes and Inequality

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Within the conceptual frame of relational economic sociology, inheritance disputes are a canonical form of relational mismatch. But the social patterning of relational mismatches, and their various ties to inequality, remain murky. In this paper, I examine all known inheritance disputes in Dallas from 1895–1945 within their social context to ...

Risk Factors and Outcomes Associated With Delayed Villous Maturation in Placenta: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Delayed villous maturation (DVM) is a placental maturation disorder that mainly affects maternal‐to‐foetal oxygen transfer. Objectives We conducted a systematic review, meta‐analysis, and sensitivity analysis exploring study heterogeneities (I2) of risk factors and outcomes associated with histopathological findings of DVM.

OccuGAMs: Non‐linear occupancy and abundance modelling with imperfect detection

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Hierarchical occupancy and abundance models (HOAMs) have become a leading approach for inferring wildlife population dynamics because they explicitly account for imperfect detection. HOAMs are suitable for sampling approaches that produce detection histories from repeated visits to the same sites, including direct observations (e.g. bird point

Examining changes in the prevalence of cost‐motivated alcohol reduction attempts in the context of a cost‐of‐living crisis and alcohol duty reforms: A population survey of risky drinkers in Great Britain, 2021–2024

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Affordability of alcohol is a key driver of consumption. The cost‐of‐living crisis in Great Britain has been putting pressure on household budgets since late 2021. In addition, the UK Government implemented substantial reforms to the alcohol duty system and increased alcohol taxes in 2023.

Field‐level crop choice responses to weather‐induced yield shocks in the US Corn Belt

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract As climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme heat events, farmers are expected to face greater variability in crop yields. Using 10 million field‐level observations, this study examines how farmers in the US Corn Belt adjust corn–soybean rotation decisions in response to yield shocks largely driven by weather fluctuations.

Trading Zones Between Thick and Thin: Anthropological Description as Scaffold or Mosaic

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Referring to the work of historian of science Peter Galison, I argue that anthropology requires thin description as an essential counterpart for thick description. Thin accounts provide the scaffolding within which thick descriptions sit. Galison uses the idea of a “trading zone” connecting different communities who, despite their differences (

Differences in prediction of adverse perinatal outcome in term pregnancies by choice of fetal growth reference: A validation study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
In this study of 1 126 059 pregnancies, we find evidence of comparable predictive ability for adverse perinatal outcomes across four fetal growth references, but with notable differences in sensitivity and false positive rate (FPR). The WHO reference demonstrated balanced performance in detecting at‐risk fetuses, suggesting its suitability for clinical

A Comparison Study Between Electrical Muscle Stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation on Treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Transverse placement of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) electrodes across muscle fibers elicits localized contractions, facilitating greater active stretching (AS) of regions containing myofascial trigger points. This EMS + AS approach mimics passive stretching, with EMS providing resistance force similar to that typically applied by a therapist's ...

Modelling non‐linear psychological processes: Reviewing and evaluating non‐parametric approaches and their applicability to intensive longitudinal data

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Psychological concepts are increasingly understood as complex dynamic systems that change over time. To study these complex systems, researchers are increasingly gathering intensive longitudinal data (ILD), revealing non‐linear phenomena such as asymptotic growth, mean‐level switching, and regulatory oscillations.
