Middlebrow Aesthetics: An Explanation and Defense

open access: yesPacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We offer a philosophical account of the middlebrow as a theoretical category to do explanatory and critical work in aesthetics. On our account, the middlebrow ought to be understood as aspirational popular art. That is, it is art which aspires both to be popular (in a distinctive sense), and at the same time to be something more than popular ...

Resolving a debate over social freedom

open access: yesThe Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract When I am unable to drive due to a road blockade, there seems to be a morally relevant difference between a case in which the road is blocked by workers and a case in which the road is blocked by a landslide. Many political philosophers tried to capture this pretheoretical judgment at a more abstract level through the formulation of a concept ...

Vision outcomes in dogs with primary glaucoma surgically treated with lensectomy and endolaser cyclophotocoagulation after an Ahmed valve gonioimplantation failure

open access: yesVeterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 207-217, March 2025.
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate vision outcomes of dogs with primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) that underwent Ahmed valve gonioimplantation (AVG) followed by lensectomy and endolaser cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) with or without bleb resection after AVG failure.

Local Tests of English in Global Contexts: A Malaysian Case Study

open access: yesWorld Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global tests of English are usually used globally and local tests locally. However, this global–local dichotomy has been challenged by test localisation, globalisation and glocalisation. An emerging critical question in this regard is whether local tests of English can be used locally and globally at the same time.

Update on cellular expression and function of ANO1 channels in urethral smooth muscle

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Activation of ANO1 channels and resulting Cl− efflux are suggested to modulate urethral smooth muscle contractility by enhancing Ca2+ influx via voltage‐dependent Ca2+ entry and resulting contraction in urethral smooth muscle cells.

Early Spectral Resolution Predicts Later Speech Recognition in Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 7, Page 3155-3164, July 2026.
In 531 ears from 498 adult cochlear implant recipients, spectral modulation detection (EasyQSMD) stabilized within 1 week post‐activation and significantly predicted later speech recognition outcomes. Early spectral resolution thresholds can identify potential poor performers during the critical first month, enabling earlier implementation of targeted ...

Artificial Creativity and Human Fragility

open access: yesModern Theology, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 543-558, July 2026.
Abstract This article critiques the widespread assumption that generative AI systems exhibit genuine artistic creativity. While such systems can produce novel and aesthetically appealing outputs, assessments based solely on results obscure fundamental differences between human and artificial agents.

Documenting biodiversity with digital data: comparing and contrasting the efficacy of specimen‐based and observation‐based approaches

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 721-736, July 2026.
Summary Digitized herbarium specimens and iNaturalist observations provide invaluable plant biodiversity data. Combining these two data sources could create a more holistic representation of local biodiversity; however, understanding biases inherent to each is critical to determine how to best combine and utilize these data.

Evidence for direct and sleep‐moderated relationships between aquaporin‐4 genetic variants and Alzheimer's disease phenotypes

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Variants in the aquaporin‐4 gene (AQP4) have been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis, cognition, and brain amyloid beta (Aβ) and may affect the sleep and Aβ relationship. Their association with other AD‐related phenotypes/disease progression remain largely unknown.
