Countries depend on both high- and low-skilled immigration to meet economic needs. But most voters prefer high-skilled immigrants, despite the fact that multiple economic sectors structurally depend on low-skilled immigrants. In this paper, we examine voter preferences toward low-skilled immigrants as one barrier to effective immigration policy, even in p ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the gradual destruction of cognitive and behavioral functions. Despite the continuous research efforts, there is still no cure for this disease. In recent years, researchers have investigated Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) as a potential cause of AD. P. gingivalis-lipo ...

Blunt trauma is a major complication of high-speed motor vehicle crashes, often resulting in injuries of varying severity. Cardiac trauma accounts for about 18% of blunt chest injuries, the third most common death cause. Experimental studies described cardiac consequences after impact; however, none have captured the ventricular flow behavior during the i ...

Theoretical and empirical studies of reinforcement have advanced our understanding of speciation, yet its role in polymorphic species remains understudied. Because morphs differ in behavior, morphology, and reproductive strategies, reinforcement may act unevenly among them, generating asymmetric ...

Introduction: Adolescents at risk for suicidal ideation tend to report more unmet interpersonal needs, namely perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness. Interpersonal capitalization-an interpersonal process involving disclosing a positive personal event to others and evaluating others' responsiveness to such disclosure-can promote positive a ...

Background: Subcortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment (SIVCI) is characterized by white matter hyperintensities (WMH) that contribute to executive dysfunction and increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. Cognitive reserve (CR) is the brain's ability to maintain cognitive performance despite pathology. Resting-state functional connectivity ( ...

Memory T helper (Th) cells sustain protective recall responses but can also drive chronic inflammation, necessitating precise regulation of their effector programs. Although Th cells produce acetylcholine (ACh) and express nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), the contribution of nAChRs to ...

Maritime transport is a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and ports play a critical role in shaping regional and national decarbonization pathways. This study develops a comprehensive framework to quantify both offshore and onshore GHG emissions associated with port activities and applies it to the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA) ...

Elucidating the neural substrates of Pavlovian reward learning requires reliable behavioral readouts. In conditioned magazine approach studies, rodents express reward expectancy by approaching the food magazine during cues that predict reward. This behavior is typically quantified using one of th ...

White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are neuroimaging markers widely interpreted as caused by cerebral small vessel disease, yet emerging evidence suggests that a subset may have a neurodegenerative etiology. Current imaging methods have lacked the specificity to disentangle biological processes ...
