Temperature and heat‐load exposure effects on preterm births: Insights from a population‐based study using distributed lag non‐linear models

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Preterm birth presents a substantial health, psychological, and economic burden worldwide. Environmental factors, including temperature fluctuations, are known to influence the risk of preterm birth. This study aimed to investigate the association between high temperatures and heat load and preterm births. Methods Using a time‐series

Age‐Varying Associations of Maternal Knowledge and Adolescents’ Depressive Symptoms in Dyadic and Cultural Contexts

Journal of Adolescence, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Extensive research has documented the influence of parental knowledge on adolescents’ mental health. Although adolescence is marked by rapid developmental changes, how the influence of parental knowledge varies across age remains understudied, particularly within dyadic and culturally informed frameworks that consider adolescents’

Sidelobe Level Reduction in the ACF of NLFM Signals Using the Smoothing Spline Method

IEEE Access
The high level of sidelobes in the autocorrelation function of the nonlinear frequency modulation signal is a challenge. One of the conventional methods to reduce the sidelobe levels is to use the principle of stationary phase.

Half a Century of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Northern Gannet Eggs: Impact of Regulations

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as “forever chemicals”, are persistent organic pollutants that have been widely used in the industry across the globe for many decades. Their chemical stability, bioaccumulation, and toxicity pose major environmental and health risks. This study examines temporal trends in the concentrations of

Characterising City Scale Heat Climatology for Australian Climate Zones

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in Australian cities peaks at night, intensifying under dry conditions, clear skies, increased solar radiation, and low wind speeds. Long‐term observations show that nighttime temperatures in major cities have warmed faster than their rural surroundings and future climate projections fail to capture this disparity ...

Statistical Downscaling of Daily Temperature and Precipitation From Regional Climate Models in Complex Mountain Terrain

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The study provides insights for post‐processing climate model output in complex terrain, useful for climate change impact models. We compared different bias adjustment and downscaling techniques from quantile delta mapping to simple lapse rates. We developed a new spatial downscaling method based on principal components analysis, which showed superior ...

From Rare to Recurrent: Intensifying Hot–Dry Extremes Across Romania

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Romania has undergone a marked shift toward more frequent and spatially extensive compound hot–dry months since the 1990s, with persistent hotspots in the eastern Moldavian Plateau and the lower Danube–Bărăgan–Black Sea lowlands and comparatively buffered conditions at higher elevations.

RECiPROsody: A Study Protocol for Investigating Movement and Prosodic Synchrony as Embodied Markers of Relational Attunement in Gestalt Psychotherapy

The Journal of Humanistic Counseling, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonverbal synchrony supports therapeutic alliance, yet its role in Gestalt psychotherapy remains underexplored. This manuscript presents the RECiPROsody study protocol, designed to investigate how multimodal interpersonal synchrony between therapists and clients relates to embodied attunement and therapeutic outcomes.
