Modelling the drivers of financial anxiety: a Bayesian network approach
Purpose This study aims to examine how financial anxiety is shaped within a system of interrelated cognitive, behavioural and contextual factors, with particular attention to the role of financial literacy and its relationship with financial behaviour and financial well-being. De...

On Leonardo’ choice to depict a wingless blister beetle producing a sexual stimulant
A largely overlooked drawing of a blister beetle belonging to the genus Meloe made by Leonardo da Vinci is discussed. An array of hypotheses about the reasons for portraying such an insect are briefly put forward, including that of an interest for the beetle as an aphrodisiac.

Double functionalization in chitosan scaffolds for bone tissue engineering improvement
Abstract Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide produced by the deacetylation of chitin. It has been employed for several biomedical applications since it is biocompatible and biodegradable. In this work, two synthetic peptides were covalently grafted to chitosan to enhance cellula...

EU plastic packaging circularity and service-system perspectives: a bibliometric analysis
Purpose This study aims to present a bibliometric analysis of the literature on plastic packaging reuse and recycling in the European Union (EU) while also exploring the emergence of more integrated and service-oriented interpretations of packaging systems. Although scholarly att...
