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. …”

Social entrepreneurs as ecosystem catalysts: the dynamics of forming and withdrawing from a self-sustaining ecosystem by Savaget, P, Ozcan, P, Pitsis, T

“…Creating a long-lasting impact is one of the defining goals of social entrepreneurship. …”

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. …”

Highly selective upcycling of plastic mixture waste by microwave-assisted catalysis over Zn/b-ZnO by Zhao, J, Liu, B, Xiong, L, Liu, W, Wang, D, Ma, W, Jiang, L, Yang, J, Wang, P, Xiao, T, Zhao, S, Edwards, PP, Tang, J

“…Unprecedented turnover number (250 gplastic g−1catalyst) of plastic depolymerisation and long-time stability over 50 successive cycles have been demonstrated, together with 8-time higher energy efficiency compared with conventional catalysis, indicating this strategy is an economical approach to efficient upcycling of plastics towards valuable products. …”

Deep learning for detecting and early predicting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from spirogram time series by Mei, S, Li, X, Zhou, Y, Xu, J, Zhang, Y, Wan, Y, Cao, S, Zhao, Q, Geng, S, Xie, J, Chen, S, Hong, S

“…In summary, DeepSpiro can effectively predict the long-term progression of COPD disease.…”

The formation and evolution of Earth’s inner core by Wilson, AJ, Davies, CJ, Walker, A, Pozzo, M, Alfé, D, Deuss, A

“…Mineral physics calculations suggest that a supercooling of at least 450 K is needed to nucleate the inner core, while inferences from geophysical observations constrain the maximum available supercooling to 420 K, and more likely <100 K when satisfying constraints on long-term core-mantle evolution. Supercooling requires that the inner core initially grew rapidly, comparable to the timescale of outer core dynamics, followed by a slower phase of classical equilibrium growth. …”

Multi-objective grey wolf optimizer algorithm for task scheduling in cloud-fog computing by Saif, Faten A., Latip, Rohaya, Hanapi, Zurina Mohd, Shafinah, Kamarudin

“…Still, it increases the energy consumption of the end users, while transferring tasks to the cloud reduces users’ energy consumption but increases the transmission delay due to the long distance; besides, assigning tasks to appropriate resources compatible with task requirements. …”

How Stories Change Us : A Developmental Science of Stories from Fiction and Real Life / by Reese, Elaine, author 655966

“…Likewise, imagined stories and imagined friendships can promote learning, creativity, and well-being, but at the extremes, imaginative processes can be linked to psychopathology. The gender differences observed in women's and men's fiction reading may be due in part to individual differences in mental imagery from practices dating back to early childhood. …”
