An intersection of machine learning and advanced econometric techniques to analyse sustainable development in Europe through resource efficiency, institutional quality, and ICT

Abstract Sustainable development is a critical challenge as well as an opportunity for modern economies, especially for European countries, where technological and institutional frameworks are increasingly evolving and reshaping. This prospective study investigates the role of re...

‘They don’t want you to be in their gang’: the problem with academic literacy, and feminist/posthumanist possibilities for doing it otherways

Although effective academic literacy skills are important for student success in higher education, developing these skills does not usually form part of the disciplinary curricula at UK universities. Students are largely expected to acquire these literacies independently, outside...

Negotiating multiple faces in social work spaces: ethnographic insights into the performance of professional identity across adult and child and family teams

This article explores how professional identity is enacted in social work practice, drawing together two ethnographic studies of adult and child and family social care services in Scotland and England. Through ethnographic observation, interviews, and reflective fieldnotes, the s...

Business Strategy and Artificial Intelligence for Corporate Emission Management: A Bibliometric Systematic Literature Review

ABSTRACT This review investigates 58 peer‐reviewed journal articles on artificial intelligence (AI). These were selected from 188 Scopus records using a PRISMA‐style process. All the articles were published between 2022 and 2025. This highlights that applying AI to corporate emis...

Effects of ‘no safe level’ and ‘cutting down’ alcohol messages on problem recognition, defensive processing, and self-efficacy in heavy drinkers: a randomized experimental study

This study tested a no safe level of alcohol consumption message on psychological outcomes relevant to drinking behaviour, compared with a gain-framed benefits of cutting down message. Adults drinking at risky or harmful levels (AUDIT-C ≥ 5; N = 485) were randomised to one of thr...

Rethinking Post-Disaster Shelters: An Integrated LCA of Environmental, Techno-Economic and Resilience Across Three Modern Methods of Construction

The increasing frequency and severity of natural and human-induced disasters are intensifying the need for post-disaster shelters that can be rapidly deployed while delivering low environmental impact, affordability and acceptable occupant comfort. Modern Methods of Construction...

Elevated translocator protein in skull bone marrow is linked to human chronic pain

The skull bone marrow (SBM) is emerging as a critical hub for neuroimmune signaling, yet its role in chronic pain is unknown. Using integrated positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging, here, we show that the levels of 18-kilodalton translocator protein (TSPO), a pu...

Kidney transplantation in older people (KTOP): a longitudinal, qualitative study of kidney transplant experiences in older, frail adults

Abstract Background Transplantation rates are increasing in those who are older and frail, driven by an aging dialysis population. This longitudinal, qualitative study explores how older adults navigate the journey from dialysis to transplantation and how frailty is experienced a...

“It just isn’t happening”: emotional obstacles in Russo-Georgian queer interactions in post-February 2022 Georgia

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, over 100,000 Russian citizens have migrated to Georgia. Among them were a large number of LGBTQ+ people concerned about a rise in legislative homophobia and transphobia. With shared experiences of anti-queer sentimen...

Self-Powered Organic Photodetectors with Record Bandwidth for Simultaneous Energy Harvesting and High-Speed Optical Wireless Communication

Organic photodetectors (OPDs) are attracting increasing interest as receivers for visible light communication (VLC) systems due to their high sensitivity, low-cost fabrication, and mechanical flexibility. Recent efforts have focused on self-powered OPDs that can simultaneously en...

Fullerene‐Mediated Iodine Immobilization at Buried Interfaces in Sn–Pb Perovskite Solar Cells

ABSTRACT Narrow‐bandgap perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are promising absorbers for tandem photovoltaics; however, their performance remains limited by interfacial recombination and instability, particularly Sn 2+ oxidation and halide‐related degradation. Although fullerene derivat...

Experiences and satisfaction with intensive community care services for children and adolescents with severe mental health disorders: a mixed-methods systematic review

Abstract Intensive community care services (ICCS) are community-based alternatives to inpatient care for young people with severe mental health disorders. This systematic review investigated the experiences and satisfaction associated with ICCS. Nine electronic databases were sea...

Mapping Corporate Harm to Human Rights and the Environment: The Brave Database

Abstract Mapping and measuring corporate harm to human rights and the environment remains difficult due to limited data transparency and inconsistent reporting standards. Yet robust information is essential to understand the magnitude of the problem, track progress and support an...

A confidence-aware multi-fidelity digital twin framework for time-critical incident-driven AMR fleet management

Abstract Effective disruption response in Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR)-enabled shop floors requires decisions that are not only accurate but also temporally aligned with the evolving physical system. In practice, this requirement is difficult to satisfy using single-fidelity Dig...

Narrative Disclosure and Private Credit Risk: Text-Based Evidence from BDC Filings Amid Macro-Financial Shocks

A persistent difficulty in monitoring private-credit risk is that narrative and quantitative information in periodic filings are produced jointly but evaluated separately. This leaves open the question of whether disclosure language is a useful signal of risk management behaviour...
