Street‐Level Policymaking: From Local Political Preferences to Welfare Policy Delivery
ABSTRACT Street‐level bureaucracy research argues that the local community shapes policy implementation. Yet, little is known about the impact of local political preferences on welfare policy application. This study extends this line of research examining how local political preferences in East Germany are linked to job centres' delivery of active ...

ABSTRACT Waterborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose mounting public health threats across sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly in rapidly urbanising regions dependent on untreated or poorly treated surface waters. This study applied shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterise microbial communities, virulence factors and antibiotic ...

ABSTRACT The Bar‐tailed Lark Ammomanes cinctura is a polytypic bird species with a wide distribution. One of its three subspecies, A. c. arenicolor, has previously been found to show deep mitochondrial divergence between its geographically most distant populations, from Morocco and Saudi Arabia, respectively.

One day of environment‐induced heat stress causes injury to the murine kidney
Abstract Environment‐induced heat stress (EIHS) results from sustained body temperature elevation owing to prolonged exposure to heat and humidity. We hypothesized that EIHS would cause kidney injury and cellular dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, female C57 mice were exposed to EIHS (n = 14; 37.6°C, 42.0% relative humidity) or thermoneutral (TN ...

A century of theories of balancing selection
ABSTRACT Traits that affect organismal fitness are often highly genetically variable. This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments, but it is also surprising given that nature – after all – ‘selects’ the best genotypes at the expense of those that fall short.

Ovaj rad se bavi opisom urbanih legendi, te istraživanjem kako i zašto se urbane legende prenose. Urbane legende su vrlo bitan dio svake kulture i pokazuju nam kako se ljudi koriste pričama. Urbana legenda je dio modernog folklora koji obuhvaća priče koje kruže kao istinite, ali za istinitost priča nema dokaza.

Plume‐Coupled Long‐Range Spotting Drove the Explosive Spread of the 2018 Camp Fire
Abstract Extreme fire spread during the 2018 Camp Fire in northern California was driven by organized long‐range spotting tightly coupled to plume dynamics. Doppler radar and satellite observations reveal distinct regions of ember lofting and downwind fallout within the convective column, forming direct pathways for firebrand transport several (up to ...

Particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) elevates risks of neurological and chronic metabolic diseases, but the underlying mechanisms linking PM2.5‐induced central nervous system (CNS) injury to metabolic dysfunction remain unclear. Hypothalamic pro‐opiomelanocortin‐expressing (POMC+) neurons regulate systemic metabolic homeostasis, and tripartite motif ...

Imagining Climate and Environmental Transformation in the European Union
ABSTRACT The EU is clearly committed to its response to the climate and environmental crisis. Transformative policy solutions and targets have been set within the Union to restore 90% of degraded ecosystems and reach climate neutrality by 2050. The EU also remains one of the biggest donors of climate and environmental development aid.
