A Survey Experiment on How Legal Status of Nicotine Products Influences Young Adults' Perceptions and Choices

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how sales bans influence young adults' perceptions and their interest in using combustible and non‐combustible nicotine products in Türkiye. Using a scenario‐based, between‐subjects experimental design, participants aged 18–30 were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: cigarettes or e‐cigarettes, framed as either

Intimate Spaces on the Open Road: Navigating Access, Trust, and Ethical Boundaries during Field Research with Long Haul Truck Drivers

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Despite its ubiquity, the trucking industry is not well‐understood in social scientific literature. Gathering insight into truckers' worlds is difficult due to the solitary, isolating, and unpredictable nature of the work. An understanding of truckers' work lives and work ideologies is even further limited.

Clinical reasoning in feline non‐ambulatory tetraparesis or tetraplegia: Which combination of clinical information is useful?

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Non‐ambulatory tetraparesis or tetraplegia in cats may constitute a diagnostic challenge for general practitioners. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate if clinical variables from signalment, history, clinical examination and basic ancillary tests are associated with underlying diagnoses in cats with non‐ambulatory tetraparesis ...

Effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on physical activity and pain evaluation in osteoarthritic dogs

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Osteoarthritis (OA) causes chronic pain and reduces welfare in dogs. Standard treatments may be inadequate or associated with adverse effects, prompting investigation of alternative therapies. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non‐pharmacological pain management method, but evidence for its efficacy in canine ...

An Automatic Spatial-Temporal Evolution Inversion Method of Mining Goaf Based on the Improved Hotspot Analysis and Probability Integral Method

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Mining activities may cause severe ground subsidence, endangering surface structures, and farmlands. Therefore, the acquisition of spatial-temporal evolution of the mining goaf is of great significance. Hotspot analysis (HSA) based on the Getis-Ord G$_{i}

Comparative evaluation of funnel, box, and camera traps for reptile and amphibian inventory

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used data from 5 herpetological inventories conducted in Florida to evaluate the relative efficacy of funnel, box, and motion‐triggered camera traps for detecting reptile and amphibian species along drift‐fence arrays. Our results suggest that a hybrid array design (funnel traps + central camera trap) is best suited for general herpetofaunal ...

Isolation and Structural Elucidation of the Pnictogen Polysulfate Compounds As2[S2O7]2[S3O10] and [SeCl3][Pn(S2O7)2] (Pn = Sb, Bi)

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
The isolation and solid‐state structures of the two disulfate‐containing pnictogenates [SeCl3][Pn(S2O7)2] (Pn = Sb, Bi), as well as the mixed‐anionic As2[S2O7]2[S3O10] are presented. The former two consist of complex ∞1{[Pn(S2O7)1/1t(S2O7)2/2e]‐}$$ {\infty }^{1}\left\{{\left[\mathrm{Pn}{\left({\mathrm{S}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}\right)}_{1/1}^{\mathrm{t}}{\

Dutch dilemma: Housing prices and flood risk exposure

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article studies the impact of flood risk exposure on housing prices in a major river delta. Analyzing 1.8 million property transactions from 1998 to 2023 in the Netherlands, we find an average price discount of 1.1%. We observe considerable heterogeneity in price effects driven by exposure intensity, institutional settings that vary ...
