This reply explores issues with documenting prosodic structures given their unique relationship with metalinguistic knowledge. New evidence and perspectives are incorporated into a deeper investigation of Budai Rukai and the analytical decisions that underlie its reanalyzed prosodic system. This case study is then taken as a basis for discussion of a possible standardized protocol for the document

This present contribution presents an approach to making rational choices in face of cluelessness, focusing on effective altruism. I begin by illustrating how effective altruism faces the challenge of cluelessness, which implies a particular kind of incompleteness I call practical incompleteness. I then argue that this is not a reason for proponents of effective altruists to become skeptics, but r

Increasing climatic and human pressures are changing the world's water resources and hydrological processes at unprecedented rates. Understanding these changes requires comprehensive monitoring of water resources. Hydrogeodesy, the science that measures the Earth's solid and aquatic surfaces, gravity field, and their changes over time, delivers a range of novel monitoring tools that are complement

UNLABELLED: The aim of this systemic review and meta-analysis was to examine the differences in caesarean section rates across European regions and at a country level by utilizing the Robson classification system. The study has compared caesarean rates across European regions using the Robson classification to identify the drivers of caesarean section use. This review shows significant variations

This article explores meaningful work across two frontline occupations, bank advisors and school­teachers. We build on narrative research focusing on the role of stories and storytelling in the sensemaking and identity construction processes related to work to explore the importance of oth­ers in the perception and construction of everyday work as meaningful. To study this, we examine the narrativ

This thesis investigates subspaces of the Hardy space, especially ones defined via analytic continuation, and their applications to operator theory. The main function theoretic properties investigated are the distribution of zeros and extremal functions. The operator theory investigations are centered around the concept of invariant subspaces and cyclic vectors.

This European Policy Analysis examines recent developments within the Council of Europe concerning a proposed political declaration by its Committee of Ministers on the European Court of Human Rights’ approach to migration-related issues. These developments follow an Open Letter in May 2025 and a subsequent Joint Statement by a group of member states expressing concerns about the Court’s case-law

Many animals, such as birds and bats, are capable of migrating over vast distances to specific destinations. Remarkably, even insects such as the North American Monarch butterfly and the Australian Bogong moth undertake similarly long-distance migrations to specific sites. Here, we provide an overview of our current understanding of the migration of these insects and outline the sensory cues and n

Public spaces are increasingly becoming battlegrounds over collective identity, associeties revisit which figures deserve commemoration. The removal of statues andstreet names has become a powerful symbolic act, as for those attached to theselegacies, such changes may be seen as denying their group identity. This paperexamines the political consequences of such symbolic changes in the context of S

Recognizing the challenges in using botanicals as sustainable pest control agents due to compositional variation, this study addresses the limitations of traditional component-based approaches such as Hewlett and Plackett or Wadley’s models. Based on the assumption of noninteractivity among constituents, these models often fail to predict outcomes accurately due to dynamic intermolecular interacti

This chapter presents a semiotic analysis of gender advertisements, introducing a novel framework that advances the Transformative Advertising Research subfield. Using a semiotic square, it categorizes gender advertisements into gender-transformative, gender-conformative, gender-nontransformative, and gender-nonconformative terms, leading to six meta-categories: gender-stereotyping, gender-neutral

This article examines Friedrich Schelling’s understanding of the beginning of reality through the concept of contraction and its relation to his view of life as struggle. Drawing on his rejection of mechanistic accounts of life, the article shows how Schelling envisions all life – divine as well as finite – as arising through tension, polarity, and dynamic becoming. God is not a static principle b

This paper investigates the role of higher moments on the Swedish stock market 1979-2004 using the asset pricing framework developed in Fang & Lai (1997). The models are estimated using a two-step ordinary least squares procedure and, in addition, an instrumental variables approach to account for the potential problem of errors in variables. Estimations have been made on the full period and in
