Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not

An empirical analysis of percentage tax designation to the catholic church and other social entities in Spain

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Since 2007, the Spanish State's contribution to funding the Catholic Church comes from what is known as the ‘tax allocation’ (asignación tributaria). It is a pure system of percentage tax designation consisting of 0.7% of the tax liability of taxpayers who decide to tick the relevant box on their personal income tax form.

Improving access to help with poor sleep across youth mental health services: Interim implementation and clinical outcomes

British Journal of Clinical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives There is a high, unmet sleep need in young people with mental health difficulties. We took a whole‐system approach to improving access to sleep support across a youth mental health system (14–25 years). Methods We used the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation and Sustainment (EPIS) framework to develop an implementation ...

School achievement in the Brazilian rural Amazon: An analysis of the interaction among motor, cognitive and environmental factors

British Journal of Developmental Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract A cross‐sectional study of 106 students (7–12 years) from a rural school in the Brazilian Amazon investigated the interaction among motor, cognitive and environmental factors on school achievement using network analysis. Students with good school performance were significantly older and showed superior global physical fitness, motor ...

Ethnic Groups' Access to State Power and Group Size

Economics &Politics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ethnic‐based political inequality is widespread, yet its underlying drivers remain poorly understood. This paper shows that an ethnic group's relative size is a key correlate of its access to central executive power. Using data on 575 groups across 181 countries from 1946 to 2021, and restricting attention to non‐dominant groups, I document a ...

Childhood cognitive control as a predictor of long‐term clinical and functional outcomes in Tourette syndrome

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Tourette syndrome (TS) is a childhood‐onset neuropsychiatric condition characterized by motor and vocal tics. Many individuals with TS continue to experience tics and functional difficulties into adulthood, yet the factors influencing these long‐term trajectories remain poorly understood.

Arctic lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) show evidence of seasonal acclimation of cardiac adrenergic sensitivity but not heat tolerance

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many Arctic fishes experience prolonged periods of extreme cold and large thermal variation over both rapid and seasonal time scales which challenge critical physiological functions. In the central Canadian Arctic, we caught wild adult lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) acclimatized to winter and summer temperatures to determine the extent to ...

Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford ...

How the Threat of Knowledge Loss Drives Firms’ R&D Dynamism: A Threat Rigidity Perspective

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on threat rigidity theory, this paper argues that the threat of knowledge loss gives rise to a threat rigidity effect in firms’ R&D function, that is, reduces their R&D dynamism. It further argues that the dampening of R&D dynamism is greater for firms more vulnerable to the threat of knowledge loss due to facing greater product market

Identifying and Mapping Industrial Districts Through a Spatially Constrained Cluster‐Wise Regression Approach

Journal of Regional Science, Volume 65, Issue 2, Page 403-428, March 2025.
ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to exploit an innovative spatial econometric approach to map and study the evolving patterns of industrial districts (IDs). The procedure can be classified as a k‐means cluster‐wise regression procedure and is designed to detect homogeneous areas of subcontracting activity.
