Synergistic Toxicity of Low‐Concentration Metal Mixture on Male Rats: Reproductive, Renal, and Hepatic Effects

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining plays a crucial role in economic development, but improper management can lead to severe environmental degradation. Particularly for iron ore, mining generates vast amounts of tailings often stored in unstable dams. This study aims to investigate the toxicological impacts of environmentally relevant concentrations of metals mixture ...

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyclads exhibit distinct developmental modes ranging from direct to indirect development, with several transitional stages also recognised. The existence of an indirect developmental mode in polyclads with a planktonic life history stage in the form of a free‐swimming larva is unique among all free‐living flatworms and makes polyclads a ...

Multidimensional unipolar IRT and applications to the measurement of print exposure

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Item response theory (IRT) has been a prominent modelling framework in educational and psychological measurement. Traditional IRT models are bipolar, commonly assuming symmetric measurement link functions and symmetric trait distributions over a latent continuum unbounded at both ends. However, many measured constructs, such as print exposure,

Inhibition of the MER tyrosine kinase ameliorates pulmonary fibrosis by suppressing macrophage M2 polarisation and osteopontin signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The MER proto‐oncogene tyrosine kinase (MERTK) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and MERTK inhibition has been shown to ameliorate PF. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we have investigated how MERTK inhibition attenuates bleomycin (BLM)‐induced PF in mice and to elucidate the ...

Wealth Meets Value: The Role of Advice for High Net Worth Individuals

Financial Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While financial advice in retail banking frequently fails to generate net‐of‐cost value due to agency conflicts, evidence from the high‐net‐worth segment remains scarce. This paper examines advice effectiveness within a private banking environment characterized by dedicated advisor relationships with two asset‐based compensation models, one of
