Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand
Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?

Annals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1303-1314, May 2026.Objective Quaking‐induced conversion (QuIC) tests, which detect prion‐seeding activity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), have markedly advanced the antemortem diagnosis of prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD). These tests provide high diagnostic accuracy and enable timely differentiation from other rapidly progressive neurodegenerative ...

Translational Neurodegeneration, 2022 Background In patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) detection of pathological α-synuclein (α-syn) in olfactory mucosa (OM) is not as accurate as in other α-synucleinopathies.

Validation of Revised International Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance Network Diagnostic Criteria for Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease [PDF]
, 2022 Importance: Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a rapidly lethal disease. Rapid, accurate diagnosis is imperative for epidemiological surveillance and public health activities to exclude treatable differentials and facilitate supportive care. In

RT-QuIC:a new test for sporadic CJD [PDF]
, 2018 The diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) can be difficult, but the real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) assays have made a considerable impact on its clinical diagnosis.

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

Cerebrospinal fluid in the differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease: clinical utility of an extended panel of biomarkers in a specialist cognitive clinic. [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers are increasingly being used to support a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Their clinical utility for differentiating AD from non-AD neurodegenerative dementias, such as dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB)

Researching Rupture: Engaged and Ethical Research on Extreme Nature–Society Disruption
Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.Abstract Global escalation in social and environmental disruption raises crucial methodological and ethical questions for researchers working in impacted communities. Interpretive social science and humanities research can make visible the experiences of those living through socio‐ecological “rupture”.
