Exclusive enteral nutrition containing transforming growth factor‐β improves intestinal barrier function in a colitis mouse model

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is the first‐line treatment for pediatric Crohn's disease, but its mechanisms of action remain poorly understood. Our aim was to identify the mechanisms that could explain the anti‐inflammatory effects of EEN, studying the nutritional composition and transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) effects, in ...

Complementary and alternative medicine use by patients in pediatric gastroenterology clinics

open access: yesJPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies among children seen in pediatric gastroenterology (GI) clinics is high. Multiple CAM therapies are effective as primary and adjuvant therapies for GI disorders and symptoms. Our study aimed to define the historical use of CAM and interest in CAM therapies in a specialized

A Particle Consistent with the Higgs Boson Observed with the ATLAS Detector at the Large Hadron Collider

open access: yesScience, 2012
Nearly 50 years ago, theoretical physicists proposed that a field permeates the universe and gives energy to the vacuum. This field was required to explain why some, but not all, fundamental particles have mass.

Fruit‐quality tradeoffs generate asymmetry in plant reliance on mutualistic frugivores

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal is a fundamental ecological process influencing the evolution of plant life‐history strategies. In fleshy‐fruited plants dispersed by mutualistic frugivores, variation in fruit traits among closely related species may shape the temporal and spatial dynamics of dispersal events critical to population success.

Familiarity and aggression shape long‐term associations and mortality risk in a solitary ungulate

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Periodic social interactions are important to animal fitness, even in solitary species. For solitary species, these interactions can be unexpected and shaped by previous encounters. Despite being aggressive and largely solitary, black rhinoceroses Diceros bicornis are commonly seen in groups, suggesting they may engage in more social behaviours than ...

From settler gardens to digital naturalists: human aesthetic preferences and land use changes facilitate the biogeographical expansion of a wild plant–virus interaction

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic facilitation of wild plants based on aesthetic preferences for particular traits can change the biogeography and ecology of natural communities. We use a mixed‐methods socioecological approach to characterize the ways in which humans interact with a common, widely distributed plant and a generalist viral symbiont that induces an ...

Revealing Hidden Impact: Social and Solidarity Economy Enterprise Networks and Sustainable Development in Developing Countries

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) offers strong potential for sustainable development in low‐income regions, yet its enterprises often operate with scarce resources, weak monitoring systems, and limited visibility. These constraints hinder both their capacity to demonstrate contributions to sustainable development (SD) and their own ...

Contract Farming and Children's Education: Evidence From Maize Producers in Ghana

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The institution of contract farming (CF) has continued to proliferate in the small farm sector of developing countries. While its effects on smallholders across welfare outcomes such as income and food security have been well documented, there are growing concerns about its broader social implications especially on children.

Financial Inclusion for Smallholders: Integrating a Resource Nexus Approach Into Agricultural Finance Systems

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smallholder farmers remain structurally excluded from the current agricultural finance system. Existing research in this area examines financial inclusion through fragmented environmental, social, and economic lenses, limiting system‐level understanding.

A Preliminary Exploratory Measurement Model for Systems Thinking in Defence and Aerospace Engineering: A Bifurcated Framework Developed via Multiple Correspondence Analysis

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern engineering faces a ‘complexity crisis’ characterized by interlinked, multidisciplinary ‘wicked problems’, particularly within the defence and aerospace sectors. Although systems thinking is recognized as a critical competency for navigating this environment, empirical quantitative frameworks for its measurement remain limited.
