Shaping Arab Identity Through the Beautiful Game: A Heterotopic Analysis of the 2022 World Cup

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar functioned as a heterotopic space through which Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) identities were publicly articulated, negotiated and made visible. Drawing on Foucault's notion of heterotopia and Lefebvre's understanding of space as socially produced, the paper approaches the ...

Who Laughs, and Who Doesn't? Predicting Humor Skills From Personality, Social Anxiety, and Laughter Dispositions of Gelotophobia, Gelotophilia, and Katagelasticism

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Laughter‐related dispositions, including gelotophobia (fear of being laughed at), gelotophilia (enjoyment of being laughed with), and katagelasticism (enjoyment of laughing at others), may explain patterns of humor use beyond broad personality traits and social anxiety.

Towards a Trade War in 2025: Real Threats for the World Economy, False Promises for the US

The World Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the MIRAGE‐Power computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, we simulate a trade war initiated in 2025 by the new US administration. The central scenario consists in a 60‐percentage point tariff increase on all US imports from China, a 10‐percentage point tariff increase on all products from other partners, except Canada and Mexico, and ...

Intermittent hand and forearm immersion in 20°C water attenuates thermal, cardiovascular, and perceptual strain in older adults during heat stress

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adults >65 years of age experience deleterious health effects during extreme heat events at a greater rate than any other age cohort. The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of acute intermittent hand and forearm (H+F) water immersion and/or chronic (7 week) folic acid supplementation on reducing thermal and cardiovascular ...

Reconfigurable Computing in Neural Network‐Enhanced Finite Element Analysis in Structural Dynamics

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT In the present study, artificial neural networks (ANNs) trigger a better physically plausible initial guess in the Newton–Raphson scheme of an implicit material integration scheme of rate‐dependent viscoplastic dynamic response of plate structures in an in‐house finite element (FE) solver.

Lactate metabolism and protein lactylation in programmed cell death: From novel mechanism to therapeutic strategies in human diseases

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This review highlights protein lactylation as a metabolic‐epigenetic regulator linking lactate reprogramming to programmed cell death. By modulating histone and non‐histone targets, lactylation reshapes cell fate decisions and represents a promising biomarker and therapeutic target in human diseases.
