From Codes to Contexts: The Maturation of Historical Cryptology
ABSTRACT Over the past decades, the study of historical cryptology in Europe has evolved from a marginal, largely individual pursuit into a consolidated field of research with dedicated conferences, collaborative projects, and institutional research groups.

Abstract We estimate the cosmic dust flux to Earth through the study of rare micrometeorites that preserve part of their precursor features during atmospheric entry heating, namely unmelted and scoriaceous subtypes. Combining high‐precision mass balance measurements, X‐ray computed microtomography and scanning electron microscopy, we studied mass, size

Emotions in Meaning‐Making: Toward a Sociological Theory of Cathexis
ABSTRACT The role of emotion in meaning‐making remains undertheorized in cultural sociology. This article argues that emotions and affect are intrinsic to meaning‐making and proposes cathexis—the attachment of emotions generated in social interaction to objects, symbols, and ideas—as the fundamental mechanism by which emotions co‐constitute cultural ...

ABSTRACT Recent discussions on self‐managed abortion highlight its potential to reduce risks and delays while supporting reproductive rights. This qualitative paper analyses the stories of 12 women who self‐managed their abortions in Argentina. In‐depth interviews were conducted in April and May 2024. Using a framework of reproductive agency, the paper

Utilizing Exhaled Breath and Skin Microbiomes in Assessments of At‐Risk Killer Whales (Orcinus orca)
ABSTRACT For at‐risk populations of killer whales (Orcinus orca), biological samples can offer information about individual animal status. We hypothesized that low‐yield samples could provide sufficient material for microbiome analysis. We collected and analyzed, with amplicon metabarcoding, breath samples from managed care and free‐ranging killer ...

ABSTRACT The media we consume may shape our cognition, emotion, and behavior. While violent media effects on aggression have been studied extensively, one popular media genre has escaped scrutiny until now: true crime, featuring real stories of assault, murder, or serial killings.

Abstract Many core human activities require an understanding of time. To coordinate rituals, plan harvests and hunts, recall histories, keep appointments, and follow recipes, we need to grapple with invisible temporal structures like durations, sequences, and cycles. No other species seems to do this.

Introduction of biocontrol agents to agricultural environments creates microbial confrontations. In confrontations between a fungal maize pathogen and a biocontrol bacterium or a ubiquitous fungus, novel compounds with similarity to synthetic fungicides and substances putatively toxic to humans are formed, questioning consumer safety of biological ...

Weichselian–Holocene glacial history of the Sjuøyane archipelago, northern Svalbard
To reconstruct the glacial history of Sjuøyane, we describe coastal sedimentary sections in Quaternary sediments and constrain their chronology by radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence ages. The sedimentary sections largely consist of shallow (glacio‐)marine and/or littoral sediments deposited during high relative sea levels.

Aging in Southeast Asia and Japan: Challenges and opportunities
This paper advocates the importance of considering the relative position of age in society, rather than simply focusing on age alone. In Japan, the 90th percentile age has reached 80 years, which means that 10% of the population is aged ≥80 years. Trends in life expectancy and fertility in Southeast Asia reflect the region's vulnerability to conflicts,
