Bactrian in Issyk‐Kushan Script: Additional Readings and Decipherments1
Abstract This article presents additional readings of several inscriptions written in the Issyk‐Kushan script, building on the improved system of sound values recently proposed by Sims‐Williams (2025b). We propose that some further lines of Dašt‐i Nāwur inscription DN III and parts of several other inscriptions can now be read as Bactrian, add new ...

The Sounds of Trust: The Bouba–Kiki Effect in Political Leaders' Names
ABSTRACT Prior research has found evidence for the bouba–kiki effect according to which individuals associate sounds related to “bouba” and “kiki” with shapes and feelings. Using individual data from the World Values Survey, we investigate whether political leaders with names that sound “bouba” or “kiki” are associated with higher or lower trust.

Surface and Interfacial Engineering toward Durable Mechanically Coupled Flexible Electronics
This Review highlights how surface and interfacial engineering governs the reliability, durability, and functional stability of mechanically coupled flexible electronics. By integrating fundamental interfacial theory, failure mechanisms, multiscale engineering strategies, and representative applications, it provides a design‐oriented framework for ...

Objective Dysarthria is one of the most common and disabling side effects of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Stimulation often exacerbates speech dysfunction beyond the effects of PD progression, likely because of current spread to structures surrounding the STN.

Explainable artificial intelligence is expanding Parkinson's disease research by improving model transparency, supporting biomarker discovery and optimizing predictive models, but further validation and clinical integration are needed before routine healthcare implementation. ABSTRACT Parkinson's disease (PD) increasingly relies on non‐invasive digital
