An Experimental Study on the Protective Effect of Memantine in Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examined the potential protective effects of memantine, an N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, against acoustic trauma (AT) in guinea pigs, using electrophysiological and histopathological analyses. Methods Thirty guinea pigs with normal hearing were divided into six groups (n = 5 per group): Group 1 (control),

How Does SNAP Access Prior to Pregnancy Affect Maternal and Infant Health Outcomes?

The Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.
Policy Points Reimposing work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—by removing temporary, location‐based waivers—causes a decline in food assistance participation among childless women. This loss of nutritional support prior to pregnancy is linked to tangible, negative health outcomes for their infants.

VOID URBANISM: Unbuilt New Cities and State Formation in the Democratic Republic of Congo

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Based on an analysis of the planning process behind Kitoko City in the Democratic Republic of Congo—a new city project officially launched in 2019 but never implemented—this article examines the political, social, and spatial effects generated by urban initiatives that remain at the stage of intention. It investigates how such unbuilt projects

Decoding Dual Regulatory Layers: Integrating Differential Expression and Alternative Splicing Dynamics in the Evolution of Laryngeal Echolocation Across Chiropteran Lineages

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We integrated short‐read and long‐read RNA‐seq data from cochlear tissues of echolocating and non‐echolocating bats to disentangle transcriptional and post‐transcriptional regulation. Echolocating bats showed neural‐function enrichment among differentially expressed genes, while alternatively spliced genes were linked to epigenetic regulation. Overlaps

Association Characteristics and Potential Mechanisms of Aging, Gut Microbiota, and Hearing Loss

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The study found that aging leads to unchanged gut microbiota alpha diversity but an increase in Bacteroidetes and a decrease in Firmicutes at the phylum level, with specific genera, species, and functional pathways co‐associated with aging and hearing loss. Through constructing a microbe‐metabolite network, it revealed the mechanism by which protective

Symbolism and Substance: How Geopolitics, Organisational Design, and Continental Coherence Shape Africa's Multilateral Reform Aspirations

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT What factors shape African agency in global multilateral reform processes? Rather than a supposed pawn of geopolitical competition, Africa's proactive diplomacy for multilateral reforms is garnering increasing interest. Yet we know surprisingly little about variation in the pursuit of African agency by the African Union (AU) and African Groups

Regulatory Intermediation in Times of Crisis: The Impact of Independent Oversight on the Functioning of Professional Accounting Bodies Intermédiation réglementaire en temps de crise : incidence de la surveillance indépendante sur le fonctionnement des organismes comptables professionnels

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rise of independent oversight of the accounting profession has attracted considerable research attention. Much of this research has studied how professional accounting bodies and the Big 4 firms have shaped the mandate and capabilities of independent oversight bodies.

Contrastive ecoacoustic indices: Large‐scale global soundscape characterization with contrastive inference

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecoacoustics mainly aims at monitoring soundscapes by means of non‐invasive protocols. Despite the widespread adoption of machine and deep learning techniques, existing ecoacoustic models predominantly rely on supervised learning and, consequently, face two primary limitations: (1) the necessity of annotated data; and (2) the restriction to ...
