Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...

Assessing the Effectiveness of Workers' Selection Exams: The Case of the Bank of Italy

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐stakes exams can be used to rank and select candidates for job openings, and the ability of those selected hinges on the design of the exam. I propose a method to model candidates' performance to assess how effective the exam is at selecting high‐ability candidates.

Associations Between Facets of Pathological Personality Traits and Alexithymia: The Roles of Detachment and Negative Affect

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The current study examined (1) whether underlying facets of Detachment and Negative Affect are associated with the different components of alexithymia, and (2) whether these associations depend on the level of perceived stress. In total, 635 students (Mage = 20.02, 87.5% female) filled out online questionnaires on alexithymia (Toronto ...

Yin Yang 1 Specifically Supports the Development of Olig2 Positive Cerebellar Astrocytes

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 8, August 2026.
Cerebellar Olig2 positive astrocytes are most abundant in the cerebellar nuclei. Cerebellar astrocytes expressing Olig2 have unique gene expression profiles. Yin Yang 1 specifically supports the development of astrocytes expressing Olig2. Deletion of YY1 during development increases numbers of astrocytes expressing Olig2 but hinders their ...

Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid After Anti‐PD‐1 Therapy: Risk‐Stratified Management and Treatment Outcomes

International Journal of Dermatology, Volume 65, Issue 7, Page 1376-1382, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) following anti‐programmed cell death‐1 (PD‐1) therapy is rare but increasingly reported. Management of high‐ and low‐risk MMP in this setting and the potential oncologic trade‐offs remain poorly defined. We performed a narrative synthesis of all published cases of anti‐PD‐1‐associated MMP, following MEDLINE ...

Investigating the Relationship Between Moral Distress and Alexithymia Levels Among Intensive Care Nurses: A Descriptive and Correlational Study

Nursing in Critical Care, Volume 31, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Intensive care nurses are frequently exposed to emotionally demanding and ethically challenging situations, which may affect their emotional awareness and moral functioning. Alexithymia, characterised by difficulties in identifying and expressing emotions, may be an important factor contributing to moral distress in intensive care ...
