Edge‐Channel Aggregation Network and Two‐Stage Fine Tuning Scheme for Handwritten Dongba Character Recognition

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Handwritten Dongba Character Recognition (HDCR) contains a large number of visually similar characters with subtle and fragile edge cues, posing severe challenges to feature learning. To address this issue, an Edge Channel Aggregation Network (EdgeCANet) model is proposed.

Diverse DTPA‐chelated lanthanides with relevance for nuclear medicine bound to an engineered lipocalin reveal conserved ligand geometry

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section F, EarlyView.
Structural and binding studies of the engineered lipocalin CL31d towards the chelate complexes of 11 different lanthanide and main‐group metal(III) ions, whose radioisotopes are useful for nuclear medicine, with a functionalized DTPA revealed a surprisingly broad tolerance towards varying ionic radii, thus enabling flexible radionuclide‐targeting ...

Future climate change favours the increase in abundance of smaller, shorter‐lived fish in the northeastern Mediterranean

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As species distributions shift due to climate change, functional alterations may also occur within marine communities, potentially leading to ecosystem‐wide transformations.

Opportunities and Alliances: The Relational Dynamics of Criminal Collusion in Latin America

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Mexico and judicial wiretap analysis in Argentina, this paper shows that collusion between state actors and violent non‐state actors operates through fluid and competitive relational networks rather than stable hierarchies or fixed institutional arrangements.

The Mysterious Stranger and Modern Enchantment

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sociological accounts of modernity have long emphasized rationalization, alienation, and the attenuation of affective intensity. While these diagnoses capture crucial dynamics of modern social order, they leave underexplored a persistent and generative dimension of social life: enchantment.

Twenty‐First Century Butlers and the New Spirit of Service

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT More than 50 years ago, Lewis Coser argued that the “servant” had become obsolete, claiming that such a “premodern” occupation could not function within modernity without religious legitimations. However, with parts of the contemporary service sector exhibiting the very characteristics that Coser viewed as “premodern”—especially within ...

Cautionary Tales for Science‐Based Policy in Deep‐Sea Mining Governance

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how low‐certainty scientific claims permeate high‐stakes policy debates before rigorous validation. Using deep‐sea mining governance as a focal domain, the study traces high‐visibility narratives, including the “dark oxygen” hypothesis, radioactive risks of polymetallic nodules, projected impacts of sediment plume ...

Flexible unimodal density estimation in hidden Markov models

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are powerful tools for modelling time‐series data with underlying state structure. However, selecting appropriate parametric forms for the state‐dependent distributions is often challenging and can lead to model misspecification.
