Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the role of managerial ability in driving environmental performance and overall environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings in the context of the European Union sustainability reporting regulations. Using a sample of 7242 firm‐year observations over the period 2015–2023, our results indicate a structural change in ...

Restricted Tweedie stochastic block models
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract The stochastic block model (SBM) is a widely used framework for community detection in networks, where the network structure is typically represented by an adjacency matrix. However, conventional SBMs are not directly applicable to an adjacency matrix that consists of nonnegative zero‐inflated continuous edge weights.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...

Plant diversity estimates of Mediterranean islands differ among biodiversity databases
Ecography, EarlyView.Large‐scale biodiversity databases encompass three main types of data for plants, namely single species point occurrences, co‐occurrences in vegetation plots, and checklists for specific areas. Evidence shows that such data types exhibit specific biases, reporting different species assemblages at local scales.

Ecography, EarlyView.Despite extensive research, stabilizing mechanisms in ecosystems remain uncertain. Taylor's power law (TPL) is a pervasive ecological pattern that describes how variance scales with mean abundance (σ2 = aμᵇ). While TPL has been widely studied within populations, its role across species within communities and its implications for stability remain ...

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Pathogenic variants in γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor genes have been associated with a wide spectrum of neurological disorders. We aimed to delineate the clinical trajectories associated with gain‐of‐function (GoF) and loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants in GABRB2 and GABRB3, and to develop a risk‐prediction model for gross

Multifactorial Screening for Fine‐Scale Selection of CCS Industrial Clusters and Hubs in Brazil
Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As Brazil moves toward implementing its decarbonization commitments, carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs are emerging as a key pathway for large‐scale CO2 abatement in hard‐to‐abate sectors. This paper presents a multifactorial, data‐driven framework to screen and prioritize potential CCS industrial clusters and hubs across Brazilian regions,

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.What's New? This study shows that absolute and relative educational inequalities in cervical cancer mortality are much larger in the Baltic countries than in Finland, where an organized screening programme was introduced more than 40 years earlier. After the introduction of organized screening, cervical cancer mortality declined among low‐educated ...

Increased cervical cancer incidence in the target age of screening—Variation by mode of detection
International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.What's New? Cervical cancer rates have risen in several high‐income countries despite advances in screening. Here, using data on cervical cancer diagnoses between 1996 and 2022 in Finland, the authors examined incidence trends according to detection mode—screening, between screenings, or outside screening programs—with attention to the role of human ...

Examining New Donors in the OECD's Development Assistance Committee
Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT How do emerging donors integrate into the existing international aid architecture? While the existing literature focuses largely on emerging donors from the Global South, such as Brazil, China, India and Russia, there are many emerging donors from the Global North that have joined the OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC)—the premier ...
