A Case of Effective Long‐Term Tobramycin Inhalation in a Patient With Bronchiectasis and Refractory Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
We report a case of bronchiectasis with persistent P. aeruginosa infection successfully managed with inhaled tobramycin after long‐term macrolide therapy failed to prevent recurrent exacerbations. ABSTRACT Bronchiectasis predisposes patients to refractory airway infections and significantly reduces their quality of life.

QTL Mapping Combined With Transcriptome Analysis to Identify Candidate Genes for Silique Number in Rapeseed

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Silique number is an important yield trait in rapeseed. Identifying the genetic loci and analyzing the molecular mechanism of this trait are of great significance for increasing rapeseed yield. In this study, we conducted a quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis for silique number using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, and detected ...

Development of Intercultural Communicative Competence in an English‐Medium University in Japan

TESOL Quarterly, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 321-348, March 2026.
Abstract Policymakers in Japan have high expectations for English‐medium instruction (EMI) as an effective educational model for developing global human resources. EMI is expected to promote students' English proficiency, content knowledge, and intercultural skills. However, longitudinal studies measuring the actual results of EMI are scarce.

Applying Generalized Joint Attribute Modeling to Select Local Indicator Fish Species for River Management

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
We propose an approach that employs generalized joint attribute modeling (GJAM) to select local indicator species. We examined whether GJAM has the potential to select local indicator species using data on water environmental factors and fish densities in two rivers in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. ABSTRACT To protect local ecosystem and biodiversity, it

Harnessing Uncertainty: Improvisation as a Model for Rapid Behavioral Expansion

Cognitive Science, Volume 50, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract While traditional sciences treat uncertainty as an obstacle to be minimized, this paper proposes an epistemic shift: viewing uncertainty as a resource to leverage. To enact this shift, we suggest adopting improvisation—where novel behaviors are instantaneously assembled to meet unpredictable constraints—as a model for real‐time adaptation and ...

Socioeconomic Status and Dental Care Utilization in Older Adults: A Comparison Between Australia and Japan

Journal of Public Health Dentistry, Volume 86, Issue 1, Page 81-87, Winter 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives With the growing emphasis on incorporating dental care into universal health coverage (UHC) worldwide, it is essential to understand the extent to which UHC can improve access to needed health services without financial hardship. Dental care services should be included in monitoring progress toward UHC, but are often left out, even ...

Distributional Cues in Construction Acquisition: A Comparative Study of Native and Nonnative English Speakers Using the As‐Predicative Construction

Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 1, Page 67-102, March 2026.
Abstract This study investigates how distributional cues are integrated into the mental representation of the as‐predicative construction by English native and nonnative speakers, drawing on associative learning theory. We examined speakers’ constructional retrieval when given a verbal cue (Experiment 1) and their verb retrieval when given a ...
