Sir and Guys in 20th‐ and 21st‐Century American English

World Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the diachronic development of formal and informal address and reference terms in American English as an effect of democratization using the COHA corpus (1900–2020). In focus are two address/reference terms with especially drastic frequency trends in the timespan investigated: the honorific sir, which declines sharply from ...

Short Report: First Outbreak of Atlantic Rainforest Spotted Fever in North‐Eastern of Brazil—Clinical Features and Eco‐Epidemiological Investigation

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Since 2010, six cases of Atlantic rainforest spotted fever (ARSF) have been confirmed and reported in Brazil, a tick‐borne disease caused by Rickettsia parkeri strain Atlantic rainforest and associated with the tick Amblyomma ovale. So far, none of the cases have been associated with death. One of the cases occurred in 2018 in the

No evidence of higher peak heat tolerance in the afternoon or with opportunity for thermal behaviour during low‐intensity work in uncompensable heat

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Heat tolerance is known to be limited by high brain temperature, but most findings pertain to strenuous exercise following artificially altered baseline temperature or with limited opportunity for behaviour. Therefore, we investigated the hypotheses that thermal perceptions, hyperventilation and cerebrovascular responses would be exacerbated ...

Gastrointestinal microbiota and barrier integrity in individuals who develop exertional heat illness and pair‐matched controls: A prospective observational cohort study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been hypothesised that the composition of the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota contributes to exertional heat illness (EHI) aetiology, but relevant empirical data in humans are lacking. Utilising a unique prospective study design, stool samples and resting blood samples were obtained from 550 individuals prior to (within 3 days ...

Effect of repeated hot water immersion on muscle strength, power, function and physical activity in healthy older adults: A randomised crossover trial

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ageing leads to an increased prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty, characterised by progressive declines in muscle strength, power and function and reduced physical activity. Hot water immersion (HWI) could potentially improve muscle function, but this is yet to be explored in older adults.

Traumatic arteriovenous fistula after ice axe injury 27 years ago: A case report

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We report a case of a traumatic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) between the superficial femoral artery and femoral vein that went undetected for 27 years following an ice axe injury during a climbing accident in 1997. An AVF is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein, where blood flows directly from the high‐flow arterial system to the

Shot‐Based Quantum Encoding: A Data‐Loading Paradigm for Quantum Neural Networks

Advanced Computing, Volume 1, Issue 1, December 2026.
Shot‐based quantum encoding loads classical data without any encoding gates: a learned map turns each datum into a probability vector that dictates how many measurement shots start in each basis state, preparing a mixed state that a shallow variational circuit processes as a quantum perceptron layer.

Current Knowledge on Phytoremediation Potential of Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for PFAS and Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This review synthesizes current research on the phytoremediation potential of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for heavy metals, including arsenic, aluminium, mercury, copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, and zinc, as well as per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” A structured and transparent ...

Forging a path through the (decision) trees: Mapping plot in ethnographic fiction

Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Decision trees can help anthropologists craft ethnographically grounded fiction, which is in itself a tool for protecting the identities of vulnerable interlocutors. Deep engagement in social fields allows anthropologists to speculate responsibly, asking what characters might do in different situations.

Hip Hop as Linguistic and Sensory Contact Zones: Sounds and Rhythms of Vietnamese Rap and Dance in Munich and Hanoi

City &Society, Volume 38, Issue 3, December 2026.
ABSTRACT In this article, I draw on multi‐sited and remote ethnography in the cities of Munich in Germany and Hanoi in Vietnam to analyze how young hip hop artists transform cities as sensory contact zones through rap and dance. I show how young Vietnamese‐Germans amplify sensory contact zones in the diasporic city of Munich through the sounds, visuals,
