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

Future changes of bioclimate in Greece: Variations in thermal stress according to the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI)

Science of The Total Environment
The climate change and rising global surface temperature present urgent, immediate challenges, particularly in Mediterranean regions, where bioclimate is shifting significantly. This study examines the future bioclimate in Greece by projecting changes in thermal stress from 2031 to 2060 relative to 1991-2020.

The Use of Renewable Energy in Prominent City Buildings: A Diffusion Study on Top European Football Organizations

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present study applied the diffusion of innovation theory to investigate the rate of diffusion of renewable energy sources used by Europe's top professional football stadiums and the relationship with carbon neutrality. A discrete diffusion model estimated the diffusion of renewable energy to saturation, and a multivariate logistic ...
