Functional near infrared spectroscopy detects cortical activation changes concurrent with memory loss in postmenopausal women with Type II Diabetes
(SPRINGER, 2023)
Older adults with Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) experience mild cognitive impairment, specifically in the domain of recall/working memory. No consistent causative structural cortical deficits have been identified in persons ...
Morphological decomposition in Chinese compound word recognition: Electrophysiological evidence
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
The present study examined the effect of both morphological complexity and semantic transparency in Chinese compound word recognition. Using a visual lexical decision task, our electrophysiological results showed that ...
Cognitive reserve counteracts typical neural activity changes related to ageing
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Studies have shown that older adults with high Cognitive Reserve (HCR) exhibit better executive functioning than their low CR (LCR) counterparts. However, the neural processes linked to those differences are unclear. This ...
How do Hong Kong bilingual children with Chinese dyslexia perceive dyslexia and academic learning? An interview study of metaphor analysis
(SPRINGER, ONLINE 202)
While extensive quantitative research has shed light on the cognitive mechanisms
of dyslexia, few mixed-methods studies have been conducted to examine the perceptions
of and attitudes towards learning in children with ...
Decoupling between human development and energy consumption within footprint accounts
(Elsevier, 2018)
Historically, the growth of energy consumption has fuelled human development, but this approach is no longer socially and environmentally sustainable. Recent analyses suggest that some individual countries have responded ...
The impacts of decarbonization pathways on Sustainable Development Goals in the European Union
(Communications Earth and Environment, 2024-12-01)
Climate action to achieve the Paris Agreement should respect the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Here, we use an integrated assessment modelling framework comprising nine climate policy models and quantify ...
Declining water resources in the Anduña River Basin of Western Pyrenees: Land abandonment or climate variability?
(Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2024-06-01)
Study Region: Mountains play a crucial role in supplying water for consumption, irrigation, and hydroelectric power. However, they are highly vulnerable to climate change. The Pyrenees exemplify a mountainous region ...
Quantifying the role of saltmarsh as a vulnerable carbon sink: A case study from Northern Portugal
(Science of the Total Environment, 2024-05-01)
Saltmarshes play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and storage, although they are increasingly threatened by climate change-induced sea level rise (SLR). This study assessed the potential variation in Blue Carbon ...
Identification of suspicious behavior through anomalies in the tracking data of fishing vessels
(EPJ Data Science, 2024-12-01)
Automated positioning devices can generate large datasets with information on the movement of humans, animals and objects, revealing patterns of movement, hot spots and overlaps among others. However, in the case of Automated ...
Climate action from a gender perspective: A systematic review of the impact of climate policies on inequality
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2024-06-01)
In 1992 the United Nations committed to promoting a gender perspective in all environmental and development programs and to establishing mechanisms for assessing the impact of environmental policies on women. However, 30 ...
