Immigrants in the transnational far right: integration through racisms and negotiating white supremacy in a migratory context by Garapich, Michał P., Jochymek, Anna, Soborski, Rafał

“…Despite the historical and contemporary instances of immigrants and their descendants engaging with the far-right, whether through long-distance nationalism or country of residence politics, migration scholarship has surprisingly paid very little attention to this process. …”

Social networks and migration: relocations, relationships and resources by Ryan, Louise

“…Exploring rich, qualitative data, I analyse how migrants forge new ties in new places, while simultaneously negotiating long distance relationships transnationally. Particular attention is given to the field of employment and the role of networks in how migrants have accessed jobs and developed careers across various sectors of the labour market. …”

Altruism and natural selection in a variable environment by dos Santos, M, Downing, PA, Griffin, AS, Cornwallis, CK, West, SA

“…In contrast to the standard prediction from Hamilton's rule, recent studies have suggested that altruistic helping can be favored even if it does not benefit relatives, as long as it decreases the environmentally induced variance of their reproductive success ("altruistic bet-hedging"). …”

Learning battery model parameter dynamics from data with recursive Gaussian process regression by Aitio, A, Joest, D, Sauer, DU, Howey, DA

“…As a result, existing techniques based on fitting equivalent circuit models may exhibit inaccuracy at extremes of performance and over long-term ageing, or instability of parameter estimates. …”

Placing objects in context via inpainting for out-of-distribution segmentation by De Jorge, P, Volpi, R, Dokania, PK, Torr, PHS, Rogez, G

“…However, acquiring and labelling semantic segmentation data is expensive and unanticipated conditions are long-tail and potentially hazardous. Indeed, existing anomaly segmentation datasets capture a limited number of anomalies, lack realism or have strong domain shifts. …”

‘I don’t care who joins my choir’: investigating attitudes to diversity and inclusivity in lower- and upper-voice choirs in the United Kingdom by MacGregor, E

“…Recreational choral singing has long been a mainstay of amateur and community musicmaking in the United Kingdom, and there is much existing evidence for the potential social, physical, and psychological benefits of participation. …”

Origins and immunopathogenesis of autoimmune central nervous system disorders by Ramanathan, S, Brilot, F, Irani, SR, Dale, RC

“…Fourth, we outline how advances in our understanding of the anatomy of lymphatic drainage and neuroimmune interfaces are challenging long-held notions of CNS immune privilege, with direct relevance to CNS autoimmunity, and how disruption of B cell and T cell tolerance and the passage of immune cells between the peripheral and intrathecal compartments have key roles in initiating disease activity. …”
