The End of DEI

open access: yesFinancial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is one of the most polarizing issues in business and society. Advocates claim that DEI enhances fairness, while critics argue it undermines meritocracy. The problems often stem from the practice of DEI—reducing it to demographic diversity—rather than its principle.

Sound Localization and Separation in 3D Space Using a Single Microphone with a Metamaterial Enclosure

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2020
Conventional approaches to sound localization and separation are based on microphone arrays in artificial systems. Inspired by the selective perception of the human auditory system, a multisource listening system which can separate simultaneous ...

An Expanded Model for Perceptual Norming: Insights From Japanese Ideophones

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Iconicity is inherently grounded in sensory experience, yet few studies investigate how sensory information is packaged in iconic words. We present perceptual strength ratings for Japanese ideophones, to ask how sensory information is encoded in this word class.

Financial Audit from Robotization to Digitization

open access: yesOvidius University Annals. Economic Sciences Series, 2022
Currently, the financial audit process is carried out in an anachronistic manner by professionals in the field. Digitization is in itself a way to start dealing with the problems we have created in the past. The aim of the article is to try to highlight the benefits of a digitized process of automatic data processing in a financial audit.

Words and Scents: How Language Shapes and Skews Olfactory Processing

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Research on language and olfaction presents a paradox. Language appears to support the formation of odor categories, yet it can also hinder odor recognition through verbal interference, highlighting that different olfactory processes get affected in distinct ways.

A Hierarchy of Crossmodal Odor Associations: Exploring the Role of Pleasantness and Edibility in Odor Crossmodal Associations Across the Senses

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Crossmodal associations with odors have the potential to aid in odor perception and language. In addition, identifying the dimensions that drive odor crossmodal associations may help understand the critical dimensions underlying odor perception more generally.

The missing middle in AI native music production: Compression, editorial musicianship, and governance in the generative stack

open access: yesAI Magazine, Volume 47, Issue 3, Fall 2026.
Abstract This article examines the structural reconfiguration of contemporary music‐making within AI‐mediated production environments. From a historical perspective of music technology, it compares algorithmic composition, electronic instruments, and Digital audio workstations (DAWs) to argue that the present transition represents not a rupture but a ...

Cytoarchitecture and myeloarchitecture of the sheep auditory cortex

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 233-246, August 2026.
This article describes the cyto‐ and myeloarchitecture of the sheep auditory cortex. It outlines a six‐layered cortical organization, with variations in cellular types and densities. The potential location of the primary auditory cortex is indicated by parvalbumin immunostaining.

Genetic Composition Is Unrelated to Song Content in a Wild Passerine

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Birdsong is a key sexual signal that varies substantially among individuals and populations. Understanding whether song similarity reflects genetic similarity is central for evaluating its role in sexual selection, population divergence and evolutionary dynamics, although partial vocal learning can obscure this relationship in many species ...
