The Difference in Shear Behavior and Strength between Loess and Paleosol and Their Prediction of Unsaturated Strength

Applied Sciences
In recent decades, loess landslide events have attracted increasing attention in the South Jingyang tableland. To elucidate the mechanical mechanism of landslide initiation in the region, this work collected undisturbed loess and paleosol samples taking ...

Contesting repression in divided democracies: Can counternarratives reduce support for police violence?

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Democracies often struggle to contain police violence, which undermines the rule of law and reproduces inequality by targeting marginalized citizens. Yet, scholars have shown that repressive policing enjoys considerable public support. Focusing on Brazil, we demonstrate that attitudes toward police violence mirror polarization between left ...

Associations Between Sperm DNA Fragmentation and Lifestyle Factors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) has been proposed as a supplementary biomarker to traditional semen parameters in the evaluation of male infertility. However, its determinants and clinical relevance remain unclear, particularly regarding modifiable lifestyle factors.

Genetic risk factors in Finnish patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To study the genetic risk factors of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) in the Finnish population using hospital‐based and large biobank cohorts. Methods We genotyped a cohort of 107 Finnish patients with FECD for the primary associated genetic risk factor, the TCF4 (CTG)>50 expansion, and studied their clinical phenotype.

THESS‐ROP study: Development of a prediction model for treatment‐warranted retinopathy of prematurity and external validation of postnatal weight‐gain‐based models in Greece

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To develop THESS‐ROP, a novel prediction model for treatment‐warranted retinopathy of prematurity (TW‐ROP) and compare its performance with four established models in a Greek cohort of consecutively screened preterm infants. Methods This ambispective cohort study included all 526 infants screened for ROP (2016–2022) at the 2nd ...

Procurement of Senonian Flint for Bladelets Production at the Early PPNB Site of Nahal Zahal in the Northern Negev Established for the First Time Using Chemical Composition Analysis

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hypotheses of Senonian flint to be a prime source of prehistoric “chalcedony” flint artefacts from the Negev Desert (Israel) was not investigated in detail thus far. By combining trace‐element profiling with statistical interpretation, ten flint items from Nahal Zahal, an Early Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B site in the northern Negev, were ...

Direct Evidence of the Geographic Origins of Horse in the Yaoheyuan Site From Ningxia, China

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, It is explores the geographic origin of horses by analyzing the strontium isotope ratio of horses from the Yaoheyuan site, an important site in the northwest region of China during the Western Zhou Dynasty. The results show that most of the horses at the Yaoheyuan site were domesticated locally, while a small number came from ...

Seeds of discord: Unravelling family conflict, parenting, and child externalizing behaviours

British Journal of Developmental Psychology, EarlyView.
Graphical Abstract This study found reciprocal associations between angry parenting and child externalizing behaviours, with maternal effects emerging earlier and more strongly than paternal effects. Interparental conflict was not a reliable predictor of change. Results highlight the value of targeting maternal parenting in efforts to prevent childhood

Calibrating Bayesian inference

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bayesian statistics has gained popularity in psychological research due to its intuitive uncertainty quantification and convenient information‐updating rules. In many applications, however, prior distributions are introduced merely as instruments to facilitate computation, rather than as representations of genuine subjective belief ...

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the
