16S/18S metabarcoding versus culture for aetiological assessment in infectious keratitis: A prospective paired‐sample study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Infectious keratitis (IK) is a vision‐threatening condition with diverse microbial aetiologies, yet conventional culture‐based diagnostics often have limited sensitivity. We investigated whether 16S/18S rRNA amplicon‐based next‐generation sequencing (NGS) can enhance aetiological assessment when used alongside standard microbiological ...

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of patients with biallelic disease‐causing variants in the PRCD (Progressive Rod‐Cone Degeneration) gene. Methods Multicentre, retrospective cohort study of 19 patients from 13 families across nine reference centres in six countries.

High School GPA and Exam Scores: Does Their Relevance for First‐Year Academic Performance Vary With Program Selectivity?

Bulletin of Economic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines student admissions to higher education based on past performance, focusing on two measures: high school GPA and national exam scores. GPA is teacher‐assigned and based on repeated assessments, while these exams are externally graded, one‐off standardized tests. Using a nationwide dataset, we investigate how the relevance of

Truncated drumlins and their implication for past sea level reconstructions

Boreas, EarlyView.
Coastal erosion of glacigenic sediments, particularly in the form of retreating drumlin bluffs, is a key process in paraglacial landscape evolution during periods of relative sea‐level (RSL) rise. As marine transgression reworks formerly subaerial glacial terrains, drumlins act as discrete sediment sources generating characteristic erosional and ...

A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

Enhancing the fastness characteristics of weld‐dyed cotton and recycled nylon 6,6 fabrics via sodium alginate and titanium dioxide

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates a sustainable dyeing and finishing strategy for recycled nylon 6,6 and organic cotton fabrics dyed with weld. Following meta‐mordant dyeing using alum under Natural Organic Dye Standard (NODS)‐compliant conditions, the fabrics were subjected to functional finishing with titanium dioxide as a multifunctional ...

Social bees can enhance the persistence of plant–bee interactions during seasonal changes in seasonally dry tropical forests

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Social bees, especially Meliponini, formed a persistent core that maintained plant–bee interactions across both dry and green seasons in the Caatinga. Persistence was not linked to broader diets; social bees used fewer plant species, despite availability, indicating selective tracking of temporally concentrated floral resources.
