Grazing effects on feeding guilds of ground‐dwelling arthropods vary with season and vegetation types in Mongolian grasslands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Seasonal variations in grazing impacts on vegetation in drylands vary with vegetation types. In Mongolian grasslands, seasonal variations in grazing effects on vegetation are greater in summer, when vegetation is more developed, than in spring; however, in desert steppe regions, where vegetation is sparse, these seasonal variations are smaller.

Testing a Relational Model of Workplace Spirituality Across Three Levels: Linking Employee Attitudes and Turnover in a Healthcare Setting

Human Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A growing body of research demonstrates that purpose and meaning are significant to employee well‐being and organizational performance. Yet, increasing challenges in the workplace, including downsizing, layoffs, and job insecurity, can erode employees' sense of purpose and meaning.

Fetal autonomic responses inferred from heart rate variability during recurrent decelerations without acidosis—An observational study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Recurrent fetal heart rate (FHR) decelerations without acidosis are frequently observed during labor; however, the underlying autonomic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study explored fetal autonomic responses to recurrent decelerations using FHR and FHR variability (FHRV) parameters.

Impact of Geography on Institutions in Agricultural and Nomadic Societies

International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How geography affects the choice of institutions is studied in a theoretical model. In this model, nations are located around a circle. Rulers compete through choosing tax rates, the level of military spending, and the degree of formality of institutions. Geographic condition is captured by population density.

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Effects of Summer Heat Stress on Physiological Parameters and Reproductive Efficiency of Barbarine Ewes Under Natural Outdoor or Indoor Conditions

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change and rising ambient temperatures increasingly challenge sheep production systems in arid and semi‐arid regions, particularly during the summer breeding season. This study evaluated the effects of heat stress and direct solar exposure on physiological responses, metabolic profile, and reproductive performance of Barbarine ewes, a ...

Bridging Bystander Intervention and Workplace Inclusion: The Critical Role of Perceived Fairness, Support, and Safety

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bystander intervention is widely assumed to foster workplace inclusion, yet no studies have directly examined this relationship. Through abductive qualitative analysis of 53 interviews across two contrasting organisations—a consulting firm and a remote mine site—we investigate how bystander intervention relates to workplace inclusion for ...

Selecting Promising Soil Quality Indicators for Monitoring Soil Management Effects Based on 10 European Long‐Term Field Experiments

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background: Soil quality can be measured through soil quality indicators that reflect soil processes. Aim: The aim of this study was to (1) identify a limited set of soil quality indicators that are most sensitive to agricultural soil management and that are widely applicable regardless of pedo‐climatic conditions, and (2) link common ...
