Abstract
We propose algorithms for conducting Bayesian inference in structural vector
autoregressions identified using sign restrictions. The key feature of our approach is a
sampling step based on ‘soft’ sign restrictions.

1 Introduction The intensification of global warming in recent decades has manifested in an increase in recorded climate extremes. For instance, regions worldwide have experienced extreme heat events, posing potential threats to ecosystems (Christidis et al., 2015; Oliver et al., 2017; Seneviratne et al., 2014) and increasing the risk of fires (Brando et al., 2014; Witte et al., 2011).

1. IntroductionAs urban development gradually moves from the industrial to the post-industrial era, the contribution of traditional resources or capital investments to economic growth diminishes [1]. Modern consumption-based economies have emerged as important sources of economic growth. Thus, the importance of cities increasingly depends on their role as consumption centers [2].

AbstractPrevious research has suggested a correlation between socioeconomic status (SES) and mental diseases, while personality traits may be associated with SES and the risk of mental disorders. However, the causal nature of these associations remains largely uncertain. Our Mendelian randomization (MR) study aims to explore the bidirectional causality between SES and mental disorders, as well as to evaluate the potential mediating role of personality in these associations.

1 INTRODUCTION Terrestrial mammalian herbivore species shape ecosystems, alter vegetation and soil functioning, change plant biodiversity, and affect carbon and nutrient turnovers (Bomske & Ahlers, 2021; Malhi et al., 2022; Poe et al., 2019; Schmitz et al., 2023). In particular, herbivores heavier than ~5–10 kg (also called ‘large’) influence carbon cycling and biosphere–atmosphere feedbacks (Berzaghi et al., 2018, 2023; Norris et al., 2020; Schmitz et al., 2023).

AbstractNeuroimaging studies have revealed that patients with schizophrenia exhibit disrupted resting-state functional connectivity. However, the inconsistent findings across these studies have hindered our comprehensive understanding of the functional connectivity changes associated with schizophrenia, and the molecular mechanisms associated with these alterations remain largely unclear.

AbstractMammalian herbivores strongly shape Earth system processes. A lack of global dynamic models of mammal populations limits our understanding of their ecological role at large scales and the consequences of their extinctions. We developed a mechanistic global model of terrestrial herbivore populations simulated with 37 functional groups defined by analyzing eco-physiological traits of all extant herbivores (n = 2599).
