Culture, Economic Shocks and Conflict: Does Trust Moderate the Effect of Price Shocks on Conflict?*
Economic Record, EarlyView.Internal conflict has affected most developing countries over the past several decades. Economic shocks are among the primary drivers of civil conflict. However, the empirical evidence on the impact of price shocks on the risk of conflict is mixed.

Why did Putin invade Ukraine? A theory of degenerate autocracy
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Many dictatorships end up with a series of disastrous decisions such as Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union or Saddam Hussein's aggression against Kuwait. Even if a certain policy choice is not ultimately fatal for the regime, such as Mao's Big Leap Forward or the Pol Pot's collectivization drive, they typically involve both a miscalculation ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Conceptual and procedural knowledge are two distinct types of mathematical knowledge. Measuring them with sufficient discriminant validity is challenging because they are typically highly correlated. Prior studies have demonstrated discriminant validity of paper‐and‐pencil measures separately for fractions and algebra.

Social and emotional pathways to shame reduction: An RCT with preservice teachers
British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Shame is an unpleasant, activating emotion that has been shown to undermine learners' motivation and achievement and identity development in mathematics education. Recent studies have implemented positive psychology interventions (PPIs) to reduce preservice teachers' shame in mathematics, with promising quantitative outcomes ...

An extension of the basic local independence model to multiple observed classifications
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The basic local independence model (BLIM) is appropriate in situations where populations do not differ in the probabilities of the knowledge states and the probabilities of careless errors and lucky guesses of the items. In some situations, this is not the case. This work introduces the multiple observed classification local independence model

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Hidden Markov diagnostic classification models capture how students' cognitive attributes evolve over time. This paper introduces a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for diagnostic classification models that jointly estimates time‐varying Q matrices, latent attributes, item parameters, attribute class proportions and transition ...

New biosensors and transgenic mice for multiplex cGMP imaging
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a versatile second messenger that is important for human (patho‐)physiology and pharmacotherapy. Live‐cell imaging of cGMP with biosensors allows to elucidate its spatiotemporal dynamics in real time under close‐to‐native conditions. However, to monitor two separate cGMP pools or cGMP/cAMP
