Between Practicality and Politics: Factors of Sub‐National Aid Allocation in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bosnia and Herzegovina represents a unique case of aid recipient for its complex history and administrative and political divisions. Yet, little is known about how foreign aid is allocated to local recipients. This qualitative study uncovers factors shaping sub‐national aid allocation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, highlighting donors' and ...

Correcting Breaks in Temperature and Humidity Observations: Implications for Climate Variability Analysis in Austria

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
A 2‐h shift in the timing of evening observations in 1971 resulted in a discontinuity in the estimation of daily means of air temperature and humidity across all climate stations in Austria. This study employs hourly observations to, for the first time, comprehensively quantify and correct this break.

Liver Stiffness Characterization of OGTLKO Mouse Model of Progressive Liver Fibrosis

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives O‐GlcNAcylation plays a key regulatory role in hepatic physiology, and its disruption leads to fibrosis in liver‐specific OGT knockout mice (OGTLKO), making this model valuable for studying advanced metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH).

Active Learning for the Discovery of Antiviral Polymers

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Machine learning and active learning are integrated to accelerate the discovery of antiviral polymers. Molecular descriptors derived from polymer composition enable predictive modeling of antiviral activity, while unsupervised clustering explores chemical diversity. The active learning workflow identifies optimal candidates for synthesis, demonstrating

Continuous Subcutaneous Versus Intestinal Levodopa Infusion for Parkinson's Disease: A Real‐World, Monocentric, Observational Study and Critical Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Subcutaneous foslevodopa‐foscarbidopa (SCFF) is a novel, non‐surgical dopaminergic infusion therapy for better controlling motor fluctuations in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). However, there are scarce real‐world data on efficacy, adverse events and comparisons with other infusion strategies. Objectives Here, we aimed to provide

Tracheoesophageal puncture and quality of life after total laryngectomy: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology
Objective Total laryngectomy (TL) is a standard induction treatment for laryngeal cancer. Patients have shown decreased quality of life (QOL) following laryngectomy potentially due to its impact on communication.

Impacts of reindeer grazing on phosphorus sorption and nutrient availability in a tundra site

Oikos, EarlyView.
Reindeer Rangifer tarandus, a large circumpolar herbivore, can influence whether nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P) is the primary limiting nutrient in tundra plant communities. Specifically, findings from a site in northern Scandinavia suggest that under conditions where reindeer grazing stimulates inorganic N availability, grazing may drive ecosystems ...

A review of high nature value farming systems in Europe: Biodiversity, ecosystem services, drivers, innovations and future prospects

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Farming systems of high natural and cultural value represent approximately 30% of farmlands in the European Union and are associated with a high species and habitat diversity and/or the presence of species of European conservation concern. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem ...
