Integrating an Eco-Feedback Strategy to Enhance the Indoor Environmental Quality and Sleep Quality in Italian Bedrooms

open access: yesBuildings
This study examines the short-term impact of an “eco-feedback” strategy, based on an awareness-raising information campaign and an experimental campaign, on indoor environmental quality (IEQ) parameters and sleep quality in Italian bedrooms.

The Ecology of Human Sleep (EcoSleep) Cohort Study: Protocol for a longitudinal repeated measurement burst design study to assess the relationship between sleep determinants and outcomes under real‐world conditions across time of year

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary The interplay of daily life factors, including mood, physical activity, or light exposure, influences sleep architecture and quality. Laboratory‐based studies often isolate these determinants to establish causality, thereby sacrificing ecological validity.

Mandarin Relative Clause Production by Second Language Learners: Subject–Object Asymmetry and Individual Differences

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated which type of Mandarin Chinese relative clause (RC)—subject‐extracted relative clause (SRC) or object‐extracted relative clause (ORC)—imposes greater processing demands on second language (L2) learners’ production. Sixty‐two native (L1) Mandarin speakers and 72 L1 Korean learners of Mandarin participated in a picture ...

Beyond Deterministic Fetal Programming: Intrauterine Exposures and the Multifactorial Origins of Adiposity

open access: yesObesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.

Wintering Barnacle Geese Exhibit an Increased Behavioural Drive for Sleep After Sleep Deprivation Without a Clear EEG-Based Sleep Rebound. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Sleep Res
ABSTRACT Sleep is essential for normal physiological functioning, and sleep deprivation is typically compensated by increasing subsequent sleep duration and/or intensity. However, a recent study showed that barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) exhibit seasonal variation in sleep homeostasis, with full recovery of sleep after sleep deprivation in summer ...

The effects of spectrum, irradiance, and duration of exposure on light‐induced melatonin suppression in healthy adults

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The left panel reports the measured time course data of melatonin concentration in the blood plasma of 17 BL‐Rs and 15 BL‐NRs at baseline, during a two‐hour stay in the dark, during a one‐hour light exposure to blue light, and again in the dark. The right panel shows the magnitude of melatonin concentration after 60 min of exposure to warm white, cool ...

Cultural beliefs and thermal care of infants: protecting South Asian and white British infants in Bradford from heat and cold [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Maintaining an adequate body temperature is essential for human survival, yet infants are born with significant thermal challenges. Thermoregulation of infants is achieved through both physiological processes and through the thermal care behaviour of ...

The Painterly Materiality of Clouds in Antony and Cleopatra and Hamlet

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the cloud‐gazing scenes in Antony and Cleopatra and Hamlet through the lens of early modern artistic theory and material practices, particularly the art of limning. Building upon existing philosophical and poetic interpretations of Shakespearean clouds as metaphors for ephemerality and memory, the essay argues that the ...
