Ctrl-F-Resist. Practices, Challenges, and Technical Needs of Civil Society Organizations Monitoring the Far-Right Online

As far-right actors increasingly exploit online platforms to disseminate ideology and mobilize supporters, civil society organizations (CSOs) play a vital yet under-recognized role in monitoring antidemocratic dynamics online. Unlike fact-checkers or content moderators, CSOs enga...

Efficacy, safety and circulating tumor cell dynamics in patients treated with Eribulin for HER2-negative advanced breast cancer – results from the phase II DETECT IVb trial

Abstract Background Eribulin is a non-taxane microtubule inhibitor that showed survival benefits for pretreated metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a prognostic marker, but their role in predicting response to specific MBC treatments is les...

Multi-Methodological Characterization of Sleep Deprivation: From Standard EEG Power Spectra to Aperiodic Dynamics in Humans and Mice.

Sleep deprivation is a potent, rapid-acting therapeutic intervention for major depressive disorder, yet its underlying neural mechanisms remain poorly understood, hindering the development of predictive biomarkers. Here, we systematically characterize the electro-physiological si...

Human and chimpanzee leaders are more risk-loving

Leadership and risk-taking are often assumed to be interrelated, but this assumption has rarely been investigated empirically in humans or other species. Analyzing data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and observer reports from two African chimpanzee sanctuaries, this...

Upcycling waste apples into platform chemicals: pilot-scale production of lactic and succinic acids

Abstract The conversion of renewable biological resources into value-added products is essential for supporting the transition to a sustainable bioeconomy. This study explores the use of waste apples—a byproduct generated in large quantities along the fresh apple supply chain—as...

Research Opportunities and Challenges of the EU’s Digital Services Act

Proposing practical measures to ensure the Digital Services Act fulfills its transparency and accountability goals.

Bi[IrBi 6 I 12 ], Ag 3 [IrBi 6 I 12 ], and Bi x Cu 3–3 x [IrBi 6 I 12 ]: Rock‐Salt Superstructures Based on Heavy‐Atom Clusters

The bismuth‐rich subiodides Bi[IrBi 6 I 12 ], Ag 3 [IrBi 6 I 12 ], and Bi x Cu 3–3 x [IrBi 6 I 12 ] were synthesized by high‐temperature reactions in sealed silica ampules and characterized by powder and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, energy‐...

Electron-RichAcetylenic Nanostructures with In Situ Chelated UltrafinePalladium Nanoclusters for EfficientLiquid-Phase Reaction Catalyst

Abstract The development of uniformly distributed ultrafine metallic nanoclusters for advanced catalysts has attracted significant interest. However, synthesizing supports with specific electronic environments and well-defined pores to prevent aggregation remains challenging. Her...
