The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Is every detail of your life a candidate for the meaningful, valuable, or worthwhile? If not, which do you exclude?

Metz recommends that we set at least some of it

An eye on long‐duration spaceflight: Controversies, countermeasures and challenges
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Space flight‐associated neuroocular syndrome (SANS) is a consequence of long‐duration space flight and is detected in two‐thirds of astronauts. In‐flight, this can cause a change in the refraction of the eyes, requiring graded hypermetropic ‘superfocus adjustable’ glasses, optic nerve head oedema and choroidal folds.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Beat‐locked mitochondrial ATP transients reveal modular, sex‐specific bioenergetic control during excitation–contraction coupling. A, each action potential activates L‐type CaV1.2 channels, producing a Ca2+ influx that triggers ryanodine receptors (RyR2) and elicits SR Ca2+ release.

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.Abstract I propose the concept of delomization, the process whereby a sign comes to be understood as a symbol. I term such signs delomes. With rhematization and dicentization, delomization completes the triplet that linguistic anthropologists derive from Charles Sanders Peirce's third trichotomy.

Harvest increase and culling as tools for managing chronic wasting disease in white‐tailed deer
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.We used an agent‐based model to simulate the effect of CWD management on a white‐tailed deer population in northwest Indiana and northeast Illinois. Our results suggest that wildlife managers should reconsider how and if they should manage CWD. Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that affects white‐tailed ...

A Shallow Echo: Artificial Intelligence and the Semantic Flattening of the Qur'an
Learned Publishing, Volume 39, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Scriptural Arabic relies on highly intentional word choices, employing apparent synonyms and near‐synonyms that convey distinct semantic values based on their specific textual placement. Historically, computational translation has struggled to reproduce these precise textual boundaries. Addressing this issue, the present investigation assesses

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.Abstract Are social networks the key to understanding resilience in conflict? Recent studies suggest so, but relational research in conflict‐affected areas is rare. What exists stresses the importance of small circles of close family members, trusted friends, and co‐ethnic persons/groups, but tends to overlook their aggregate effect.

“MERCY KILLING” IN COMPARATIVE LEGISLATION
Strani pravni život, 2017 The issue of euthanasia is regulated in a different way in each country and legislation. However, the last word has not been spoken, and this is the message of extensive arguments and grave concern. The theme is large in scale, as is the dimension of a human being and the world itself. Difficult and strong, too.
