Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Exploring Use‐Wear Texture Quantification Through Confocal Microscopy on Tools Made From Volcanic Rocks (Basalt and Phonolite)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Functional analysis is essential for reconstructing lithic tool use. Recent approaches combining confocal microscopy and surface texture analysis provide quantitative alternatives to traditional visual use‐wear analysis, although their application to coarse‐grained, heterogeneous rocks remains challenging because of their complex surface ...

The Embryonic Development of the Cotylean Polyclad Phrikoceros jannetae

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyclads exhibit distinct developmental modes ranging from direct to indirect development, with several transitional stages also recognised. The existence of an indirect developmental mode in polyclads with a planktonic life history stage in the form of a free‐swimming larva is unique among all free‐living flatworms and makes polyclads a ...

Limiting Human Genomic Data Generation and Retention for Environmental Reasons

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exponential growth of human genomic data presents a largely unexamined environmental challenge. Generating, storing, processing, using and sharing genomic data each contribute to environmental harms through substantial energy demands, resource use, and waste generation.

The Best of Times at the Worst of Times: How Adults Respond to a Brief Intervention (RETURN) to Increase Planned Dental Visiting

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although acute health crises can disrupt routines and open a window for behaviour change, these teachable moments are rarely harnessed by intervention designs. The RETURN intervention (comprising a dental nurse‐led conversation, short peer videos and booklets supporting knowledge, skills and action‐planning) aimed to change planned dental ...

The Social Determination of Racial Inequities in Oral Health Among Indigenous Peoples

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To foster a critical analysis of the racial inequities affecting the oral health (OH) of Indigenous peoples in Brazil, framed by the social determination of the health‐disease‐care process (SDHP). Methods This critical literature review articulates the themes of colonisation, Indigenous peoples' oral health and racial inequities in ...

‘Mature’ and ‘Immature’ Death Concepts: Epistemic Injustice and Young Children's Sense‐Making of Death and Dying

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most research in Death Studies focuses on adult perspectives. Even when children are the intended focus, this research often remains adult‐centred due to the dominance of developmental psychology. A key concept underpinning this approach is the ‘mature death concept’ (MDC), a normative framework that assumes children's understanding of death ...

Methyl 4‐O‐Demethylbarbatate Destabilises HIF‐1α and Enhances Temozolomide Sensitivity in Glioma Cells

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
The lichen‐derived metabolite methyl 4‐O‐demethylbarbatate (Me‐4‐O‐DBA) suppresses glioma stemness, motility, and metabolic plasticity through inhibition of HIF‐1α signaling and synergistically enhances temozolomide activity, highlighting a potential strategy to target stemness‐driven therapeutic resistance in glioma.
