Why parties can benefit from promoting occupational diversity in legislatures: Experimental evidence from three countries

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract How do legislators' occupational backgrounds shape their ability to advance policy? We argue that politicians with professional experience are perceived as more credible in their areas of expertise and can more effectively persuade voters and peers. We examine this argument in a series of experiments in three Western democracies.

Investigating the gaze‐driven reversed congruency effect in the spatial Stroop task: A distributional approach

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated how social (faces and eyes) and non‐social (arrows) stimuli modulate attentional orienting in a spatial Stroop task, using a distributional approach. Data from 11 studies (N = 705) were analysed through cumulative distribution functions (CDF), delta functions, and polynomial trend analyses. Three models were applied: (1)

Contributions of synaptic energetic dysfunction by microtubule dynamics and microtubule‐based mitochondrial transport disorder to morphine tolerance

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Morphine is among the most powerful analgesic, but its long‐term use can cause tolerance. Synaptic ATP supply is critical for maintaining synaptic transmission. Microtubule‐based mitochondrial transport ensures synaptic energy supply.

New perspectives on body size and shape evolution in dinosaurs

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diversity in the body shapes and sizes of dinosaurs was foundational to their widespread success during the Mesozoic era. The ability to quantify body size and form reliably is therefore critical to the study of dinosaur biology and evolution.

Effects of Smoking on Macrophage Polarization in Peri‐Implantitis Lesions

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The study aimed to investigate the relationship between cigarette smoking and macrophage polarization in peri‐implantitis (PI) lesions. Additionally, it sought to characterize clinical, radiological, microbiological, and immunological features of PI in smokers and non‐smokers.
