Implementing multisectoral food systems governance: lessons from Mexico’s GISAMAC
Multisectoral food system governance has emerged as a central priority as countries recognize the need to align policies across the agriculture, health, environment, economic, and social welfare sectors to curb diet-related diseases, inequities, and environmental degradation. Man...

In light of the ongoing twin digital and green transitions, small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises’ (SMEs’) performance and development should be reassessed using more holistic approaches, which include the use of (i) productivity (lean), (ii) digitalisation, and (iii)...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major public health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Although much is known about its determinants and costs, less is known about how treatment, behaviour, adiposity, and glycaemic control evolve after diagnosis. We...

In agricultural environments, foliage occlusions present a significant challenge for crop inspection. While fully autonomous systems often struggle to generalize across these occluded conditions, human operators possess an inherent cognitive and visual adaptability that provides...

Equilibrium halo solutions of the Gross–Pitaevskii–Poisson system: the role of the particle number
Abstract We investigate stationary halo-like solutions of the Gross–Pitaevskii–Poisson (GPP) system, which describes self-gravitating Bose–Einstein condensates with repulsive self-interactions, as a model for dark matter. We retain the boson mass $$m_\phi $$ m ϕ , the scattering...

A q-deformed deterministic gradient framework generalizing affine projection adaptive filters
Purpose This work proposes a q-deformed deterministic gradient framework that generalizes affine projection adaptive filters by embedding a deformation of the classical gradient operator into a fully deterministic formulation. Design/methodology/approach By embedding the q-gradie...

Translation Landscape of Corneal Endothelial Tissue Engineering: A Scoping Review
Background Corneal endothelial dysfunction is a leading cause of global blindness. The main treatment is full keratoplasty, for which access is limited due to the worldwide shortage of tissue donors. Corneal tissue engineering has shown significant progress, yet there are still c...

Optic nerve avulsion and central retinal artery occlusion after penetrating orbital injury
Purpose: To highlight a rare mechanism of optic nerve avulsion and central retinal artery occlusion secondary to penetrating orbital trauma, and to review the clinical and diagnostic findings that facilitate accurate identification of this uncommon pathology. Methods: The patient...

Update on the Physiopathology of Keratoconus
Keratoconus (KC) is a progressive corneal ectasia characterized by stromal thinning, steepening, and biomechanical instability. Although historically considered primarily a structural disorder, current evidence supports a multifactorial pathogenesis involving complex interactions...
