Survey of Rift Valley Fever Virus Antibodies and Risk Factors in Small Ruminants in Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria: A Cross‐Sectional Serological Study

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
High seroprevalence of Rift Valley fever virus antibodies (47.9%) in small ruminants in Maiduguri indicates substantial past exposure. Age, sex, and residence in flood‐prone areas were significant risk factors, highlighting the need for targeted surveillance and vector control to reduce livestock and public health impacts.

Venous Thromboembolism in Severe Community‐Acquired Pneumonia at High‐Altitude Areas: Prevalence, Risk and Outcome

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 20, Issue 9, September 2026.
In hospitalized patients with SCAP at high‐altitude areas, the prevalence of VTE is unexpectedly high and may be associated with poor prognosis. Early identification of high‐risk individuals and refinement of preventive strategies are therefore necessary to improve patient outcomes.

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.
