The Distribution of Reproduction during a Fertility Transition: Declining Spread of Parenthood in Brazil

Population and Development Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Demographers have a rich understanding of the fertility transitions that have been observed in many contexts. Yet, we lack evidence to explain whether long‐run declines in fertility levels are accompanied by simultaneous changes in reproductive variability.

Structural Variations Contribute to Subspeciation and Yield Heterosis in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Yield heterosis has been extensively exploited in hybrid breeding, with intersubspecific hybrids often exhibiting the most pronounced effects. However, developing elite hybrids remains a laborious and time‐consuming process. The genetic basis of heterosis has been debated for over a century, hindered largely by the lack of high‐quality genomes.

Cognitive Testing Practices for Basic Military Training in the Nordic Countries: A Scoping Review

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Nordic countries have a long tradition of using general mental ability (GMA) tests as part of their military conscription process, a practice that began in the mid‐20th century. These Nordic tests were developed with a dual purpose—to filter out individuals unfit for military service and to rank individuals' GMA for military roles—and they

Understanding and truth in Hannah Arendt: The critical reception of the Eichmann trial and the will

I argue that this change was driven by reactions to her report on Adolf Eichmann's 1961 trial in Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963).

What does it mean to be a post‐Newtonian? Schelling on competing scientific models

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract While Schelling's position has often been portrayed as highly critical of Newton, his discussion of Newton's theories has never been thoroughly studied. The goal of this paper is to analyze in more detail the relationship between Schelling and Newton, with an eye toward the fundamental question that guides Schelling: how can conflicts between ...

The Grammatical Structure of Scientific Revolutions

Theoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, I examine the structural parallels between Thomas Kuhn's philosophy of science and Ludwig Wittgenstein's later thought, focusing on the idea of grammatical frameworks. My central claim is that Kuhn's concept of paradigm and its later, more language‐centred forms in his philosophy can be read as a Wittgensteinian grammatical ...

Digital–Analog Quantum Simulation and Computing: A Perspective on Past and Future Developments

Advanced Computing, Volume 1, Issue 1, December 2026.
In the past decade, the paradigm of digital–analog quantum technologies has emerged, which proposes to combine the best of both paradigms: large analog blocks, provided by native interactions of the employed quantum platform, enabling scalability, combined with digital gates, allowing for more versatility and, ultimately, universality.
