How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Children With Idiopathic Toe Walking Display Different Cortical Activation Patterns When Interpreting Tactile Sensation. [PDF]

Dev Psychobiol
ABSTRACT Idiopathic toe walking (ITW) is a diagnosis given to children who walk with an absence of heel strike in the contact phase of the gait cycle, who are otherwise typically developing. This study aimed to determine if children with ITW had cortical activation differences when completing a tactile sensation test compared to typically developing ...

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Clinical and video based evaluation of the Heel-to-toe Walking task in Movement ABC

, 2010
Intention: The Movement ABC is a frequently used standardized test battery designed to identify motor difficulties in children. Although much research has been conducted, data on single task level is desirable.

The Phenomenon of Toe Walking in Children, Disease or Habit: A Case Report

, 2023
Background: Some children experience abnormalities in the way they walk, such as toe walking in the form of "bilateral toeing out" or "bilateral tip toe." Bilateral toe walking, also known as “bilateral toeing out,” is a condition in which both of a ...

Zero Deforestation Commitments and Industry 4.0 Enabling Technologies: An Analysis of Their Role in Mitigating Deforestation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of corporate zero‐deforestation commitments (ZDCs) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) enabling technologies in mitigating deforestation. Drawing on data from 110 companies included in the Forest 500 dataset, the research explores whether sustainability commitments and digital innovation influence firms' deforestation ...

Gait Training with Real-Time Augmented Toe-Ground Clearance Information Decreases Tripping Risk in Older Adults and a Person with Chronic Stroke

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Falls risk increases with ageing but is substantially higher in people with stroke. Tripping-related balance loss is the primary cause of falls, and Minimum Toe Clearance (MTC) during walking is closely linked to tripping risk.

Locked in Transition: Examining the Role of Paradoxical Tensions in the Transition From Industrial Cluster to Eco‐Clusters

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Industrial clusters are central to the circular economy transition, yet how they develop into eco‐clusters and the paradoxical tensions this transformation fuels remain underexplored. Drawing on 48 in‐depth interviews and secondary data from a Turkish textile‐recycling cluster, we develop an empirically grounded model of eco‐cluster transition
