Hidden Losses: Assessing the Risk of Coextinction Among Ectoparasitic Flies and Their Bat Host Species in Brazil

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
The potential impact of bat species extinction on the number of their ectoparasitic fly species, based on interaction data for Brazil. As bat host species are removed over time, more connected species (green) would experience steeper declines and lead to greater ectoparasite losses when compared to a random extinction model (gray).

Diacerein Disrupts Testicular Homeostasis: The Essential Role of Basal Cytokines in Maintaining Sertoli Cell Integrity and the Immune Microenvironment

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pro‐inflammatory cytokines, TNF and IL‐1B, are essential for testicular homeostasis. Diacerein, an anti‐inflammatory drug, inhibits these cytokines, impairing M2 macrophages and Leydig cells (LCs). However, its impact on Sertoli cells (SCs) and M1 (CD68) macrophages remains unknown.

The Vicissitudes of the Nafs: Madness, Paralysis, and the Work of Transgression in Sufi Ethics

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How should we theorize Sufi ethics when the practice of zikr (remembrance) that leads to spiritual enlightenment (tazkiyya) might also bring one to the brink of majzubiyat (madness)? What forms of regulation or restraint are imagined or enacted by practitioners to prevent spiritual boundlessness from perverting into its underside of paralysis (

‘We need solidarity’: Reflections on Building and Troubling Solidarity in Research Ethics in Myanmar

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Calls for solidarity by civil society are taking place alongside changes in how researchers navigate shifting research landscapes. Yet what solidarity‐based research entails in practice and how this might guide, critique, or challenge institutionalised ethics can be elusive.

Provenance Analysis Based on Cluster In‐Betweenness and Support Vector Machines: Identifying Migrant Candidates Using Multi‐Isotope Fingerprints

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Provenance reconstruction using strontium and lead stable isotopes can produce complex multidimensional fingerprints, challenging traditional methods. Identifying nonlocals, who migrated between sites, is a major task. Migrants are identifiable by divergent multi‐isotope fingerprints due to isotopic mixing between origin and destination sites.

School achievement in the Brazilian rural Amazon: An analysis of the interaction among motor, cognitive and environmental factors

British Journal of Developmental Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract A cross‐sectional study of 106 students (7–12 years) from a rural school in the Brazilian Amazon investigated the interaction among motor, cognitive and environmental factors on school achievement using network analysis. Students with good school performance were significantly older and showed superior global physical fitness, motor ...

LLM‐based prior elicitation for Bayesian graphical modeling

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the Bayesian graphical modeling framework, priors on network structure encode theoretical assumptions and uncertainty about the topology of psychological constructs under study. For instance, the Bernoulli prior specifies the probability of each pairwise interaction, the Beta–Bernoulli prior governs expected network density, and the ...

Personality at the Centre: How Network Brokerage and Traits Shape Voice Behaviour in Online Communities

Creativity and Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changing the status quo and promoting innovation requires individuals to speak up and engage in voice behaviour. Yet, the interactions that foster or inhibit voice remain insufficiently understood, particularly with regard to personal agency, how an individual's personality interacts with their network position to influence voice.

Bridging Policy and Practice: A Mixed‐Methods Study of Child Maltreatment Prevention in a Southern Italian City

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective child protection systems increasingly rely on integrated, multi‐agency responses to prevent and address child maltreatment. However, in many European welfare contexts, collaboration across services remains constrained by organizational fragmentation.
