Transphobia : A ”New Antisemitism”

In this paper, I explore similarities and differences between contemporary transphobic and anti-Jewish discourses. While scholars have shown entanglements between homophobic and antisemitic discourses in the European 19th century, as well as similarities between contemporary homonationalist and Western philosemitic discourses, less attention has been paid to how anti-trans and anti-Jewish discours

The dynamics of the gut microbiota in prediabetes during a four-year follow-up among European patients-an IMI-DIRECT prospective study

BACKGROUND: Previous case-control studies have reported aberrations of the gut microbiota in individuals with prediabetes. The primary objective of the present study was to explore the dynamics of the gut microbiota of individuals with prediabetes over 4 years with a secondary aim of relating microbiota dynamics to temporal changes of metabolic phenotypes.METHODS: The study included 486 European p

That came as no surprise! The processing of prosody-grammar associations in Danish first and second language users

In some languages, prosodic cues on word stems can be used to predict upcoming suffixes. Previous studies have shown that second language (L2) users can process such cues predictively in their L2 from approximately intermediate proficiency. This ability may depend on the mapping of the L2 prosody onto first language (L1) perceptual and functional prosodic categories. Taking as an example the Danis

Exploring the environmental and cultural consequences of the 8.2 ka cooling event in Kyushu, Southwestern Japan

Japan’s rich archaeological record, supported by well-established chronological and typological frameworks, offers valuable opportunities to investigate prehistoric socio-cultural responses to climate change, although comprehensive studies remain limited. This exploratory paper examines the impact of climatic disruptions—particularly the 8.2 ka event—on Jomon foragers in Kyushu, aiming to develop

Entangled in context : addressing academic development and educational choice architecture

This paper describes the evaluation of newly created pedagogical programs for early-career educators delivered by academic developers (ADs) in two universities in Central Europe. Initially conceived as an evaluation of the program’s effectiveness, iterative analysis led to acknowledgment of the importance of context for the impact of these programs. We recognize prevalent educational choice archit

Green national paradox? : How the far right turned Sweden from a (reputed) pioneer of climate mitigation to an obstructor

Sweden has swiftly transitioned from being considered a progressive pioneer in climate mitigation to the forefront of late obstruction. The proximate cause was the general elections in 2022, after which the Sweden Democrats (SD) gained authority over the country's climate policies. This paper explores how the far right turned Sweden from a (reputed) pioneer of climate mitigation to an obstructor,

Recapturing Life : Virtual Peer-Based Psychological Support for Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors Delivered in the Community

Purpose: Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors have unique psychological needs and require tailored support, as they transition from hospital settings following cancer treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of the online "Recapture Life" program to improve AYA aged survivors' psychological adjustment in early cancer survivorship. Methods: The inte

Complementary Pathways at the Crossroads Between Migration and Asylum: Enhancing or Diluting the International Refugee Regime?

Complementary pathways present a legally sound case for an interrogation of the distinction between migration and asylum, as they test the foundations of the international refugee regime and its key principles. Are complementary pathways enhancing the protection of refugees or diluting it? This analysis contributes to a discussion on the intersection between migration and asylum (the “migration-as

Decoding the Rights of Companies in the Technocene : an Introduction

This special issue examines the role of companies as rights-bearing actors in shaping planetary change. While anthropogenic climate change is commonly framed as the work of humanity, vast disparities in power mean that corporate entities have a disproportionate influence over emissions, political decision-making, and the global flow of biophysical resources. These asymmetries reshape not only clim

A farm typology approach for targeted policy responses: The case of pastoral and agro-pastoral households in West Pokot County, Kenya

Most agricultural and food policies often overlook diversity of farming households, resulting in generalized and ineffective interventions. Recognizing changing and diverse characteristics of farm types is therefore critical. Using data from 502 households in West Pokot County, Kenya, we employ principal component and cluster analyses to create farm typologies to guide targeted policy intervention

Identification of gut microbiome signatures and metabolites associated with albuminuria in type 2 diabetes

CONTEXT: Type 2 diabetes is a growing global concern with serious complications, including kidney damage and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Monitoring albuminuria, which is associated with these complications, is crucial in optimal diabetes management. Gut microbiota composition has been suggested to impact albuminuria, but large studies with granular data are lacking.METHODS: We investig

Snow transitions to rain : A review of atmospheric melting layer studies using micro rain radar and complementary approaches

The atmospheric melting layer (AML), where snow transitions into rain, influences satellite signals, precipitation remote sensing, and a range of hydro-meteorological applications. AML has been extensively studied using radar technology, but methods for continuous and consistent monitoring remain limited. This paper presents the first comprehensive review of AML research, with a focus on the Micro
