If Not Now, When? Thinking about Childbearing in Ukrainian Cities during Russia's Full‐Scale Invasion

Population and Development Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Prior literature on fertility during war examines high‐fertility settings using quantitative data on births collected mainly after fighting ends. In contrast, we analyze cognitive processes related to childbearing during wartime in Ukraine, where a full‐scale war erupted in the context of long‐standing low fertility.

The Distribution of Reproduction during a Fertility Transition: Declining Spread of Parenthood in Brazil

Population and Development Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Demographers have a rich understanding of the fertility transitions that have been observed in many contexts. Yet, we lack evidence to explain whether long‐run declines in fertility levels are accompanied by simultaneous changes in reproductive variability.

From single storms to large-scale waves: a multi-year kilometer-scale global simulation [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Global kilometer-scale (km-scale) weather and climate models offer new opportunities to unify numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate modeling by explicitly simulating convection and mesoscale circulations globally within a single modeling ...

Value Change and the New Wave of Fertility Postponement in Western Europe

Population and Development Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Since 2010, Western Europe has experienced a renewed wave of fertility postponement, contributing to declining fertility rates and rising childlessness. Although multiple explanations have been proposed, the role of ideational factors remains underexplored. This study examines whether broad changes in values help explain contemporary fertility

Visual Icons

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often characterize perception as image‐like. There is little agreement, however, about what constitutes an imagistic or iconic representation. This article identifies five signature properties of iconic representations endorsed in the philosophical and scientific literature: item‐richness, feature‐richness, spatiotemporal ...

Surface passivation of c-Si for silicon heterojunction solar cells using high-pressure hydrogen diluted plasmas

AIP Advances, 2015
In this work we demonstrate excellent c-Si surface passivation by depositing a-Si:H in the high-pressure and high hydrogen dilution regime. By using high hydrogen dilution of the precursor gases during deposition the hydrogen content of the layers is ...

How Seriously Should We Take AI Welfare? Constraints From the Epistemology of Consciousness

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some philosophers argue that near‐term artificial intelligence (AI) systems might soon be welfare subjects. We should take AI welfare seriously, they urge, because AI systems might soon have properties indicated by our best scientific theories of consciousness, and consciousness suffices for welfare subjectivity.

Computing Bounds on the Eigenvalues of the Preconditioned X‐FFT System in 3D Linear Elastic Homogenization

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The previously introduced X‐FFT solver permits solving three‐dimensional linear elastic homogenization problems with high accuracy and efficiency. Due to the extended finite element discretization (X‐FEM), matrix‐inclusion problems may be approximated with the error convergence of interface‐conforming finite elements.
