What is social science if not critical?

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
Abstract This short article represents a contribution to the debate on the motion “Social science is explanation, or it is nothing.” While in the format of parliamentary debating the contribution would fall on the side of the opposition, I will not be arguing against explanation as such.

Pediatric Versus Adult Shear‐Induced Hemolysis—Are Age‐Related Blood Properties the Main Cause for Differences?

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Graphical summary of the experimental comparison of shear‐induced hemolysis in pediatric and adult blood using a Couette shearing device. Pediatric blood shows a trend toward lower increase in hemolysis at higher shear stress amplitudes, while no relevant differences are observed at low and intermediate stresses.

Standardization of In Vitro Evaluation of Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) Devices for Research and Development

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) technology has witnessed remarkable advancements during the last decades. However, further research and development of devices are required to increase, for example, performance‐efficiency, hemocompatibility, and long‐term stability.

Comparison of a Miniaturized Implantable Two‐Stage Rotodynamic Blood Pump to Equivalent Single‐Stage Concepts

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study aims to evaluate the potential of a multistage pump design to enhance hemocompatibility in left ventricular assist devices. We found that the two‐stage concept offers favorable hemolysis measures compared to single‐stage designs, as the reduction in peak shear stresses outweighs the disadvantage associated with prolonged residence time ...

Rethinking the Normative Foundations of the Stakeholder Theory Through the Civil Economy Approach: Insights From a Relationality‐Based Anthropological Perspective

open access: yesBusiness Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A growing enthusiasm to reconsider the normative foundations of the stakeholder theory is spreading in related literature. Current research mainly focuses on religious, spiritual, and philosophical underpinnings to reexamine these foundations.

A Texture‐Free Multi‐Scale Model for Surface‐Based Rendering of Knitted Fabrics

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Knitted fabrics present unique challenges for realistic rendering due to their complicated structure and scale‐dependent appearance. Existing methods typically rely on explicit yarn geometry, which is computationally complex, or texture‐based representations that require heavy storage and precomputed maps. In this paper, we introduce the first

A noncanonical role for Jagged1 in endothelial mechanotransduction

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This study reveals a noncanonical role for Jagged1 in endothelial mechanotransduction. Shear stress modulates Jagged1 expression and subcellular localization. Loss of Jagged1 attenuates mechanotransduction and reduces Src, VEGFR2, and ERK signaling. Direct mechanical stimulation of Jagged1 induces activation of these signaling pathways.
