The Burning Question: Frequencies of Tobacco Consumption in Postmedieval (16th–19th c. ce) England and the Netherlands

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The frequency of tobacco use during the postmedieval period is widely underexplored; this has repercussions for our understanding of the intoxicant's health impacts during this time. Our study assesses the frequency rates of tobacco consumption in different social groups in England and the Netherlands, two countries in which tobacco use became

Divergent Obesity Classification Between the Edmonton Obesity Staging System and the Lancet Commission Model

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective BMI alone does not capture obesity‐related health heterogeneity. The Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) grades obesity severity based on comorbidities and functional impairment, whereas the Lancet Commission Diagnostic Model for Obesity (DMO) distinguishes preclinical from clinical obesity based on organ dysfunction.

Tailored Mandibular Advancement Therapy Guided Through a Mandibular Positioner: Predictive Value in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) are a recognized alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), though patient selection is still challenging. Tailored MAD guided through drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) with a mandibular titratable positioner (SAM) offers a stable and ...

Using art history to explore society's changing connections with agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food insecurity is a looming challenge that especially affects those least fortunate. Consumer food choices have a substantial impact on the sustainability of current food systems. Here, we use art as a lens through which to consider our contemporary and historical relationship to one of the world's most crucial crops, the potato, in the context of the

Lot Acceptance Under Inspection Errors: Benefits of Multiple‐Inspector Sampling Versus Single‐Inspector 100% Inspection

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In high‐value and safety‐critical manufacturing contexts (e.g., aerospace, nuclear and defense sectors), reliable and robust conformity assessment of production lots is imperative. While 100% inspection by a single inspector may seem like a solution for this purpose, it can be prone to human error, which can distort lot acceptance decisions ...

Scale dependence in remotely sensed biodiversity: Leveraging continental‐scale imaging spectroscopy from the National Ecological Observatory Network

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Imaging spectroscopy enables large‐scale biodiversity assessment, yet spectral diversity metrics are scale dependent. Across 15 NEON ecosystems, we find that spectral richness increases sub‐linearly from 3600 m2 to 4 km2, whereas spectral divergence shows weak or inconsistent scaling with area, underscoring the importance of scale‐aware interpretation ...

The Macroeconomic Drivers of Carbon Emissions in East Africa: Capital‐Driven Versus Trade‐Driven Globalization

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT East Africa has recorded strong economic growth over the past three decades alongside a steady rise in carbon emissions, raising concerns about whether the region can sustain growth without worsening environmental pressures. This study incorporates key macroeconomic drivers of carbon emissions using panel data for 9 countries from 1990 to 2023,

Sustainable Foreign Direct Investment in Emerging Markets: The Institutional Drivers of Firms' Climate Action

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how home‐ and host‐country institutions jointly shape the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on firms' climate action commitments (CAC) in emerging markets. Drawing on New Institutional Economics and Varieties of Capitalism, we conceptualize FDI as a mechanism of institutional transmission through which multinational
