Association Characteristics and Potential Mechanisms of Aging, Gut Microbiota, and Hearing Loss

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The study found that aging leads to unchanged gut microbiota alpha diversity but an increase in Bacteroidetes and a decrease in Firmicutes at the phylum level, with specific genera, species, and functional pathways co‐associated with aging and hearing loss. Through constructing a microbe‐metabolite network, it revealed the mechanism by which protective

Symbolism and Substance: How Geopolitics, Organisational Design, and Continental Coherence Shape Africa's Multilateral Reform Aspirations

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT What factors shape African agency in global multilateral reform processes? Rather than a supposed pawn of geopolitical competition, Africa's proactive diplomacy for multilateral reforms is garnering increasing interest. Yet we know surprisingly little about variation in the pursuit of African agency by the African Union (AU) and African Groups

Regulatory Intermediation in Times of Crisis: The Impact of Independent Oversight on the Functioning of Professional Accounting Bodies Intermédiation réglementaire en temps de crise : incidence de la surveillance indépendante sur le fonctionnement des organismes comptables professionnels

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rise of independent oversight of the accounting profession has attracted considerable research attention. Much of this research has studied how professional accounting bodies and the Big 4 firms have shaped the mandate and capabilities of independent oversight bodies.

Contrastive ecoacoustic indices: Large‐scale global soundscape characterization with contrastive inference

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecoacoustics mainly aims at monitoring soundscapes by means of non‐invasive protocols. Despite the widespread adoption of machine and deep learning techniques, existing ecoacoustic models predominantly rely on supervised learning and, consequently, face two primary limitations: (1) the necessity of annotated data; and (2) the restriction to ...

Cross‐continental zero‐shot anuran call classification with CLAP and denoising‐based synthetic embedding generation

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Using machine learning models to classify bioacoustic signals of animal species is increasingly important for conservation monitoring because manual expert labelling is time‐consuming and tedious. Monitoring endangered species is particularly challenging because these species are rare, making it difficult to collect the large, representative ...

Iron Ore Pricing in China: Financialization Through a Marxist Lens

Abacus, EarlyView.
We offer a Marxist interpretation of financialization as we examine the Chinese market for iron ore and the shift in the pricing mechanism from an annual fixed price to an indexed price from 2010. Drawing upon Marx's theory of the circuit of capital, we illustrate an empirical case of financialization that results from the conflict between social ...

The policy adjacent: How affordable housing generates policy feedback among neighboring residents

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract While scholars have documented feedback effects among a policy's direct winners and losers, less is known about whether such effects can occur among the indirectly affected—“the policy adjacent.” Using 458 geocoded housing developments built between two nearly identical statewide ballot propositions funding affordable housing in California, we

It Takes Two to Tango: A Pluralist Account for Building Comprehensive Explanations in Human Evolution

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evolutionary study of human dispersal is a key topic in biological anthropology. However, recent research has revealed inconsistencies between molecular and anatomical data across different timescales and geographic regions. Despite increased interdisciplinary dialogue, these discordances are rarely analyzed in depth or interpreted for ...
