Educational Theory, Volume 76, Issue 5, Page 597-617, October 2026.Abstract In this article, I reexamine John Dewey's original sense of critical in How We Think (first published in 1910), arguing that contemporary discourse about critical thinking reveals a process of lexicalization through which the term critical has lost its meaning. This article finds that Dewey's original sense of critical (which I term d‐Critical)

Complex body size trends in the evolution of sloths (Xenarthra: Pilosa) [PDF]
, 2014 Background Extant sloths present an evolutionary conundrum in that the two living genera are superficially similar (small-bodied, folivorous, arboreal) but diverged from one another approximately 30 million years ago and are phylogenetically separated ...

VirusesArthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are an increasingly significant threat to public health in tropical regions. In this study, we investigated the seroprevalence of various arboviruses in two species of sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni and Bradypus ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 737-758, October 2026.Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 714-736, October 2026.Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and prolonged suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and accordingly demonstrate myological traits consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the elbow joint, and grip on the support.

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 821-846, October 2026.We describe the endocranial anatomy of Metacheiromys marshi. Decrease in olfaction and eye movement control occurred through time in Pholidotamorpha and is likely linked to fossorial adaptations. The development of the orbital gyrus might be related to the evolution of myrmecophagy and the emergence of a protrusile tongue in early Pholidotamorpha ...

First records of Amblyomma geayi and Amblyomma varium (Ixodida: Ixodidae) parasitizing sloths in Nicaragua [PDF]
Ticks of the genus Amblyomma parasitize a wide variety of terrestrial vertebrate hosts, including humans. In Nicaragua, 14 species of ticks of the genus Amblyomma have been recorded.
