An Account of Luck, Fortune, and Fate

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Luck is one of our most important concepts. In this article, I first argue that extant accounts of luck are deeply flawed. I then argue for a hybrid account of luck that is based around the difference between skill‐based and non‐skill‐based events.

Beaver dam analogues increase amphibian breeding occupancy and bat activity

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Beavers are ecosystem engineers that can create ponds, increase stream complexity, and enhance biodiversity. To mimic these and other effects, restoration practitioners increasingly install beaver dam analogues (BDAs) in degraded streams.

Microplastic Dynamics in Sediment Layers of Two Ramsar‐Designated Wetlands

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Little is known about the vertical and spatial dynamics of microplastics in relation to hydrology and land use, particularly in African context. This study aimed to assess the abundance, type, colour and vertical distribution of microplastics in sediment from two Ramsar‐designated wetlands, the Makuleke and Nylsvley. Sediment core samples were

Linking dynamic cerebral autoregulation and inhibitory executive function: Role of modifiable behaviours

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) stabilises cerebral blood flow (CBF) against rapid fluctuations in perfusion pressure and may serve as a key physiological mediator of cognitive function. Inhibitory executive function, a core domain essential for goal‐directed behaviour, is influenced by modifiable lifestyle factors such as physical ...

Brain strain: Blood flow and metabolism in environmental extremes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This narrative review compares and contrasts the most commonly encountered environmental stressors on human cerebrovascular functioning. From high altitude and space, extreme apnoea, heat and cold stress, the impact of these stressors on the regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen metabolism (CMRO2${\mathrm{CM}}{{\mathrm{R}}_ ...
