Exploring Transitions to Adulthood for Young Disabled People: Personalisation and the Quiet Dismantling of Social Care

Social Policy &Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across OECD countries, policy frameworks to support disabled young people in their transition to adulthood remain fragmented, under‐resourced and poorly aligned. This article examines how these longstanding weaknesses have been exacerbated by the shift towards personalisation in social care. Drawing on a three‐year qualitative study in England

To become a medium: Relatedness and apprenticeship in Australian spiritualism

The Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Within the modern Spiritualist movement, mediums are central figures who work to connect physical and spirit worlds. By attempting to provide evidence of the survival of the human spirit after physical death, conveying caring messages from the spirit world, and giving hope to recipients, mediums pursue a spiritual mission.

Multilocal Practices in a Pleasure Periphery: A Typology of Time, Space and Activity

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.
Abstract The prerequisites, conditions and drivers of multilocality, that is, leading an everyday life in multiple places, were transformed through the accelerated adoption of remote work triggered by the COVID‐19 pandemic. We bring new perspectives to the field of multilocality research by exploring and theorising multilocal practices through a post ...

‘In Curaçao They Celebrate King's Day Abundantly!’ – Diachronic Representation of (Post)colonial Communities in Dutch Geography Textbook Discourse (1946–2018)

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.
Abstract Postcolonial textbook research leads us to reflect on the representation of (post)colonial communities in educational media for adolescents in geography education. This paper contributes to this scholarship through Critical Discourse Analysis tracing how nine Dutch geography textbooks (1946–2018) have represented such communities from ...

Stated neighbourhood preferences: Examining the impact of individual background and neighbourhood characteristics

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.
Survey data show that people generally prefer mixed neighbourhoods when given free choice. Neighbourhood preferences reflect preferences for homophily, but also mirror individual background and associations with current neighbourhoods. Being foreign‐born is associated with elevated ethnic preferences, especially when living in the most diverse or urban

Conniving With Continuations: Representing Goals in a Domain‐Specific Language of Thought

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Wanting composes flexibly with knowing: we can want to know, want to know what someone wants, and so on. In this paper, we develop a goal representation that allows for this type of rich integration between goals and other theory‐of‐mind concepts.

Eight weeks of post‐exercise local heating does not improve cognition and plasma brain‐derived neurotrophic factor concentrations

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise and heat stress have been reported to independently provide benefits to brain health. We tested the hypothesis that 8 weeks of post‐exercise local heating, passive local heating only, or exercise training only improves cognitive performance compared to a control group.

Sex differences in dynamic cerebral autoregulation responses to resistance and endurance training in humans

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise maintains brain health and reduces the risk of cerebrovascular diseases, such as stroke and dementia. The benefits of different ‘modalities’ of exercise on male and female cerebral autoregulation are unclear. In this study, we compared adaptations in dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) during spontaneous and forced oscillations in ...

Comparison of exercise training and repeated hot water immersion on vascular function in overweight older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent studies suggest that heat exposure may benefit cardiovascular health, but in overweight and obese older adults, the chronic effects of heat therapy on artery function are still uncertain. We aimed to compare the effects of 12 weeks (3×/week, 40 min) of aerobic exercise (EXE) to hot water immersion (HWI) and an inactive control group ...

The Long Shadow of Karl Weierstraß Over the Calculus of Variations

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT At first glance, it appears that the contents of Karl Weierstraß's (1815–1897) lecture courses on the calculus of variations were made available to the public only in the seventh volume of his Mathematische Werke, and thus not until 30 years after his death.
