The Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Living funerals mark a radical reconfiguration of contemporary engagements with mortality, transforming death from an imposed ending into an actively authored narrative. This study examines the practice in Hong Kong's hybrid sociocultural landscape, where traditional Chinese death rituals collide with neoliberal selfhood and globalised ...

Electronic patient blood management monitoring using routine health record data: A proof‐of‐principle study monitoring perioperative tranexamic acid use

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Monitoring Patient Blood Management (PBM) practices against evidence‐based standards is essential for quality improvement; however, current approaches are limited. In the UK, perioperative tranexamic acid (TXA) use is a national quality standard, yet monitoring relies on manual audit cycles that are resource‐intensive and limited in

Lectotypification and Nomenclatural Notes on Four Names in Alismataceae From the Americas

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Four Alismataceae names from the Americas are investigated. Second‐step lectotypes are designated for Hydrocleys martii and Sagittaria seubertiana according to the Art. 9.17 of Madrid Code. A lectotype is designated for Sagittaria isoetiformis, resolving a 130‐year nomenclatural ambiguity. Finally, the previously proposed neotypification for Sagittaria

Comparative Analysis of Chlorhexidine Derivatives and Alternative Agents on Streptococcus mutans Viability, Biofilm Formation, and Gene Expression

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Chlorhexidine gluconate and alexidine potently kill S. mutans, disrupt biofilms, and downregulate virulence genes, yet show moderate cytotoxicity. In contrast, sub‐MIC amoxicillin paradoxically promotes biofilm formation, highlighting the need for targeted antibiofilm therapies. ABSTRACT This study evaluates the antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects of

Finite‐Block Polynomial and Volterra Structure in Reservoir Computing

Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Reservoir computing is analyzed through the algebraic structure generated by finite‐width reservoirs on fixed input blocks. For linear and quadratic logistic activations, the induced input‐to‐state map admits an exact finite Volterra representation, yielding an explicit characterization of the associated hypothesis class.
