The Relevance of Apology to Reparations for Historical Injustice

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explains the centrality of apology to an adequate account of reparations. I look in depth at what goes on in apology. As I have previously argued, apology is an expressive action through which we seek to mark adequately the significance of our own wrongdoing. I claim that apology so understood is not merely ornamental.

Exploring the Relationship Between MDM4 Gene Polymorphisms (rs1380576 and rs4245739) and Breast Cancer Susceptibility in Bangladesh: A Case–Control Study

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Our findings indicated that the rs4245739 A>C polymorphism was not associated with BC risk in the Bangladeshi population, whereas the rs1380576 C>G polymorphism was significantly associated with BC risk. This study provides new insights into the genetic factors influencing breast cancer susceptibility in the Bangladeshi population, highlighting the ...

ϕ-dwarfs: white dwarfs probe quadratically coupled scalars

Journal of High Energy Physics
We study ultralight scalar fields with quadratic couplings to Standard-Model fermions and derive strong constraints from white-dwarf mass-radius data. Such couplings source scalar profiles inside compact stars, shift fermion masses, and can produce a new

Maternal depression across childhood and offspring young adult depression and anxiety: Testing adolescent emotion dynamics as transdiagnostic mechanisms

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Early exposure to maternal depression can increase risk for offspring mental health problems across the lifespan. Less is known about the transdiagnostic pathways through which maternal depression influences offspring mental health risk in young adulthood.

Searching for benchmark systems containing ultra-cool dwarfs and white dwarfs

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
We have used the 2MASS all-sky survey and WISE to look for ultracool dwarfs that are part of multiple systems containing main sequence stars. We cross-matched L dwarf candidates from the surveys with Hipparcos and Gliese stars, finding two new systems ...

A Guide to Key Decision Criteria for Likert‐Scale Use in Survey Research

Global Business and Organizational Excellence, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although widely used in survey research, the application of the Likert scale often lacks rigorous justification in relation to key methodological decisions. Furthermore, inconsistencies in terminology persist, for example, the common reference made to the “5‐point Likert scale,” even though debate is ongoing about the optimal number of ...

Magneto-archeology of white dwarfs

Astronomy & Astrophysics
The detection of strong, large-scale magnetic fields at the surfaces of the oldest white dwarfs might point toward a hidden internal magnetic field slowly rising to the surface.

Functional tooth unit, periodontal status, and association with weight change in older adults

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Literature reports that having fewer teeth is associated with reduced chewing capacity, which in turn may lead to weight changes due to diminished oral functionality. This study aims to assess the association between functional tooth units (FTU) and periodontal status and weight change among older adults participating in the Health,

White Dwarf Merger Remnants with Cooling Delays on the Q Branch Lack Strong Magnetism

The Astrophysical Journal
A population of anomalous ultramassive white dwarfs discovered with Gaia, often referred to as the Q branch, show high (multi-Gyr) cooling delays produced by exotic physical mechanisms.

Combined effects of prohexadione‐calcium and growing environment on sweet cherry fruit quality and postharvest performance

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is a high‐value fruit crop, but its commercial success is often limited by poor pigmentation, reduced firmness, and short shelf life. This study evaluated the effects of preharvest applications of prohexadione‐calcium (1.5 L ha−1) on fruit quality and storage performance in lowland and hilly orchards ...
