Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...

3D‐Printed Electroanatomic Twins of Cadaveric Cochleae: A Platform for Cochlear Implant Testing
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Cochlear implants (CIs) can restore hearing to individuals with severe deafness, yet clinical outcomes vary widely because it remains difficult to predict how electrical currents interact with the unique anatomy of each cochlea. A central challenge in auditory rehabilitation is the lack of experimental systems that capture both the ...

Types of Struggles in Disrupted Interaction: A Case of Hard‐of‐Hearing Employees
Symbolic Interaction, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 562-588, August 2026.Everyone experiences disrupted interactions in their everyday life. However, research indicates that people with functional impairments are particularly exposed to patterns of interactional inequality at work. Despite this, little is known about the specific disrupted interactions in everyday life and the various types of interactional struggles this ...

More‐than‐verbal methodological approaches to studying eco‐emotions: A critical narrative review
Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.This critical literature review highlights the value of more‐than‐verbal methods in eco‐emotions research. Most studies use surveys and interviews and provide valuable evidence of fear and anger. More‐than‐verbal research methods can complement this work by fostering trust, supporting participant agency, and revealing richer emotional responses ...

An investigation of the sound of foam and its potential influence on the shampoo experience
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 725-737, August 2026.This study investigates shampoo foam acoustics' impact on hair washing experience using binaural recordings and psychoacoustic analysis. Distinct foam sound profiles elicited varying emotional responses; early lathering induced negative emotions while later phases were positive.

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 15, August 2026.ABSTRACT Post‐operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a cognitive disorder characterized by a decline in cognitive function following surgical procedures, with mitophagy identified as a significant underlying mechanism. Protein kinase C delta (PRKCD), localized within the mitochondria, is implicated in the regulation of PINK1/PRKN mitophagy pathway ...
