Social Policy &Administration, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Frontline discretion serves as a core function in welfare delivery. However, little is known about the process between input and output of discretionary assessments. As welfare administrations increasingly explore automated decision‐support systems to improve consistency and efficiency, it becomes crucial to understand the mechanisms and ...

Social Policy &Administration, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Verbal communication between bureaucrats and citizens crucially determines the dynamics and outcomes of public encounters. However, so far, scholars have not sought to quantitively measure it, which limits our knowledge of the role language plays in shaping interactions between bureaucrats and clients.

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Bothy busi/yness: Recirculating representation and practice in the Scottish landscape
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.Abstract This paper uses the ‘busi/yness’ of Scottish mountain bothies to explore the agency of representation and its entanglement with practice. In doing so it asks, firstly, what are the material and discursive impacts of a rise in the symbolic value of an object (or in this case a building)?

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is essential for sustaining neuronal metabolism and cognitive performance; however, the precise relationship between perfusion and cognition remains unclear. Although ageing and disease are associated with progressive declines in CBF and cognitive impairment, the acute effects of altered CBF under environmental ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Ski mountaineering (SkiMo) is a new Olympic sport with extreme endurance demands and altitude exposure. Previous studies have focused on traditional cardiorespiratory variables, such as maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O2max${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{max}}}}$) or ventilatory thresholds, but, to our knowledge, did not report ...

Mechanisms of haemoglobin mass expansion following heat stress
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Theorised mechanisms of heat stress‐induced erythropoiesis which may facilitate the expansion of haemoglobin mass. A, acute: heat stress‐induced renal ischaemia. Redistribution of blood flow away from the kidneys to facilitate thermoregulation during heat stress could reduce renal oxygen delivery, subsequently lowering renal PO2${

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).
