Measurement of executive functioning in pre-school aged children in India: A scoping review
Executive function (EF) is a core aspect of development, however, the current body of EF research is disproportionately influenced by studies conducted in Western, high-income countries, with limited representation from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) such as India. This imbalance raises concerns about the generalizability and cultural relevance of EF constructs and assessment tools. To address this gap, this scoping review examined the …

When Loan Sharks Become Litigious: Courts, Informal Finance, and Access to Justice in China
Nuancing the conventional wisdom that informal economic activities endure by marginalizing, circumventing, or colluding with the law, we use original court data from China to reveal a counterintuitive mechanism: informal finance can endure through formal litigation. Drawing on 66,843 judicial decisions, case studies of seven top-filers, and interviews, we examine how sophisticated moneylenders, inactive debtors, and embedded courts collectively h…

Near future changes to rain-on-snow events in Norway
Rain-on-snow (ROS) events occur primarily in cold climates such as high latitudes and high elevations where they pose a considerable threat to nature and society. The frequency and intensity of ROS events are expected to change in the future, but little is known about how they will change in the near future (mid-century) and their link to hydrological extremes (e.g. 95% high flows). Here we use kilometre-scale regional climate simulations over No…

Multiple risk behaviours and central adiposity in mid-adulthood in the 1958 British birth cohort
Treating cardiovascular atherosclerotic plaques with Tongmaijiangzhi (tmjz) capsule
Atherosclerotic plaques can cause serious syndromes and mortality. Cholesterol accumulation in the plaques can disrupt the arterial flow, with lumen narrowing and stenosis, which contributes to heart attack and sudden cardiac death. The pharmacological treatment to atherosclerotic plaques can be anti-hypertensives, anti-cholesterol, and cleaning of the existed plaques. This work examined the effects of pharmacological Tongmaijiangzhi (TMJZ) capsu…
