The Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) is a widely used measure of a core facet of the positive body image construct. However, extant research concerning measurement invariance of the BAS-2 across a large number of nations remains limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset - w...

The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) is a widely used self-report measure of subjective well-being, but studies of its measurement invariance across a large number of nations remain limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset-with data collected between 2020 and 2022 -to as...

Abstract Objectives The 12-item Self-Compassion Scale–Short Form (SCS–SF) is a widely used instrument for the assessment of self-compassion. To date, there have been few examinations of this instrument’s psychometric properties, particularly across nations and languages. Therefore, we used data from...

Abstract Rationale Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disease characterized by airway obstruction and accelerated lung function decline. Our understanding of systemic protein biomarkers associated with COPD remains incomplete. Objectives To determine what proteins and pathways...

New species typically evolve over several million years. However, rates of speciation and ecological diversification vary by orders of magnitude across the tree of life, with the fastest shown by some adaptive radiations. Eight hundred endemic species of cichlid fishes emerged and formed entire food...

Time spent in nature benefits human mental and physical well-being. However, much of the variance in outcomes of nature contact remains unexplained, suggesting that new mechanistic pathways need to be considered. Here, we tested a novel conceptual model linking nature contact with life satisfaction ...

Summary Respiratory viral infections in early childhood are major drivers of acute morbidity and long-term airway disease, yet how distinct viruses remodel the pediatric nasal mucosa at cellular resolution remains unresolved. Here, we generated a single-cell RNA sequencing atlas of 335,174 nasal epi...

Pyrrolobenzodiazepines (PBDs) containing C8-linked aliphatic heterocycles have been developed as a new class of potent antibacterial compounds. They are active against multidrug resistant Gram-negative pathogens, including Klebsiella pneumoniae. When isolates were exposed to PBDs, they acquired resi...
