Research Direction and Science Evaluation: The Role of Coherence and Alignment

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The decisions of funding agencies greatly influence the direction of scientific research; however, our understanding of how applicants' research directions affect the selection process remains limited. In this study, we investigate how a project's coherence with a scientist's previous work and its alignment with current scientific trends ...

Undiagnosed Acute Viral Febrile Illnesses, Sierra Leone

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
Sierra Leone in West Africa is in a Lassa fever–hyperendemic region that also includes Guinea and Liberia. Each year, suspected Lassa fever cases result in submission of ≈500–700 samples to the Kenema Government Hospital Lassa Diagnostic Laboratory in ...

Delomization, or the esoteric Nechung kang so, the Dalai Lama, and exilic imaginings of a Tibetan community

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract I propose the concept of delomization, the process whereby a sign comes to be understood as a symbol. I term such signs delomes. With rhematization and dicentization, delomization completes the triplet that linguistic anthropologists derive from Charles Sanders Peirce's third trichotomy.

‘SiteTool': a ‘Shiny' application for field site selection and evaluation

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Field studies are fundamental to ecological research, yet many studies rely on unspecified or convenience‐based methods for site selection, potentially introducing bias that can compromise research results. Remote‐sensing data provides a quantitative way to evaluate potential sites without expensive pilot visits; however, interacting with spatial data ...

Lassa fever in pregnancy with a positive maternal and fetal outcome: A case report

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background: The signs and symptoms of Lassa fever are initially indistinguishable from other febrile illnesses common in the tropics and complications of pregnancy. Surviving Lassa fever during pregnancy is rare. Only few cases have been documented.

Addressing Climate Driven Vector‐Borne Disease in West Africa

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) pose a significant public health threat in West Africa, contributing to substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly among vulnerable populations. This region is highly susceptible to the effects of climate change due to its geographical location, dependence on rain‐fed agriculture, and fragile ...

A review of lassa fever outbreaks in Nigeria from 1969 to 2017: Epidemiologic profile, determinants and public health response

Nigerian Journal of Medicine, 2018
Introduction: Lassa fever outbreaks have occurred in Nigeria since the 1969 till date. This is in spite of the fact that the reservoir and modes of transmission have been known for all these years.

Pathogenic Mechanisms of V. vulnificus and Its Role in the Development of Sepsis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Sorafenib attenuates urethral scar formation by inhibiting β‐catenin signaling in fibroblasts, which downregulates the SLC7A11/GPX4 antioxidant axis and triggers ferroptosis. This β‐catenin–ferroptosis coupling effectively suppresses fibrogenesis, highlighting sorafenib as a promising drug‐repurposing candidate for urethral stricture.

Spreading Speed for a Vector‐Borne Disease System on Non‐Coincident Straight Infinite Cylinders

Studies in Applied Mathematics, Volume 156, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐borne diseases remain an increasing global public health concern. In this work, we investigate the spreading speed of vector‐borne disease via a four‐component reaction–diffusion system posed on non‐coincident straight infinite cylinders, which stands for an unconventional spatial configuration.
