Size, Spines, and Nests: What Drives Variation in Death‐Feigning Behavior in Fungus‐Farming Ants?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated death‐feigning (DF; thanatosis) in fungus‐farming ants, testing how stimulus intensity, morphology, and nest traits shape its occurrence and duration using generalized linear mixed models. Stronger stimuli increased both likelihood and duration, but most variation was structured across species, colonies, and individuals.

The Vicissitudes of the Nafs: Madness, Paralysis, and the Work of Transgression in Sufi Ethics

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How should we theorize Sufi ethics when the practice of zikr (remembrance) that leads to spiritual enlightenment (tazkiyya) might also bring one to the brink of majzubiyat (madness)?

A balance between stability and flexibility: Adaptive patterns of self‐regulated learning processes shape game‐based learning

British Journal of Educational Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract To ensure learning efficiency in game‐based learning (GBL), learners must regulate cognitive, affective, metacognitive and motivational (CAMM) processes, collectively known as self‐regulated learning (SRL). SRL is dynamic and non‐linear, characterized by regulatory patterns and CAMM interactions that lead to macro‐level SRL behaviours. In this

sGC stimulator BAY 41‐8543 improves survival and ventricular function in a rat model of doxorubicin‐induced cardiomyopathy with nephrotic syndrome

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Anthracyclines such as doxorubicin (DOXO) remain a cornerstone of cancer therapy but are associated with a high risk of cardiotoxicity and subsequent heart failure (HF). Impairment of NO/soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cGMP pathway has been reported in anthracycline‐induced cardiomyopathy.
