Cognitive Biases and Moral-Regulatory Mechanisms in White-Collar Crime: A Systematic Review and Bibliometric Mapping of Psychological Pathways to Corporate and Financial Misconduct

White-collar crime causes major economic and social harm, yet research on its psychological mechanisms remains fragmented across criminology, behavioral ethics, accounting and finance. To synthesize research on cognitive biases and moral-regulatory mechanisms underlying white-col...

A Posteriori Error Analysis of a Mixed FEM for the Coupled Brinkman-Forchheimer/Darcy Problem

We consider a mixed variational formulation recently proposed for the coupling of the Brinkman-Forchheimer and Darcy equations and develop the first reliable and efficient residual-based a posteriori error estimator for the 2D version of the associated conforming mixed finite ele...

Winter Dietary Composition of Black Francolin (Francolinus francolinus) in Totali Public Game Reserve, Pakistan

The winter diet of Black Francolin (Francolinus francolinus) is poorly documented in Totali Public Game Reserve, Pakistan. We examined crop contents from 24 legally harvested birds (14 males and 10 females) collected during 2022–2024. Thirty-three identifiable food taxa were reco...

Food Safety Assessment Based on Determination of Lipid Degradation Products in Meat Products

Lipid degradation is one of the main factors contributing to the deterioration of meat and meat products, significantly affecting sensory and nutritional properties and leading to the formation of multiple potentially toxic compounds that diminish food quality and negatively impa...

Slip-Informed Ground-Motion Models in Subduction Zones

ABSTRACT Ground-motion models (GMMs) are fundamental tools for seismic hazard analysis but typically rely on simplified distance metrics that fail to capture the spatial heterogeneity of energy radiated during earthquake ruptures. In this study, we evaluate the performance of GMM...

Development and Preliminary Validation of a Tool to Assess Trainee Teachers’ Perceptions and Use of Digital Sources in a Historical-Thinking Framework: A Conflict Context in Chile

This article presents the development and preliminary validation of a questionnaire examining trainee teachers’ perceptions and use of digital sources in La Araucanía (Chile) as a source of information about the regional State–Mapuche conflict, within a framework informed by hist...

Evidence-Based Quality Assurance in Initial Teacher Education and Educational Sustainability

Quality assurance in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) has evolved from compliance-oriented approaches toward more comprehensive frameworks emphasizing continuous improvement, evidence-informed decision-making, and educational sustainability. Nevertheless, across Latin America, per...

Development and validation of a time use questionnaire for women in family farming

Abstract This study develops and validates the Time‑Use Questionnaire for Women in Family Farming (TUQ‑FF), a context‑specific instrument designed to measure productive, domestic, caregiving, and social‑participation activities among rural women in Chile. Drawing on international...

Spanish version of the personal experience of aging scale: psychometric analyses from classical and network psychometrics approaches in a Chilean sample

Abstract Background How people experience aging is linked to health, well-being, and engagement in later life, but Spanish-language measures for capture self-perceptions of aging in Latin America remain limited. Objective To adapt the Personal Experience of Aging Scale (PEAS) int...

Scale Mixture of Akash Distribution with Applications to Income Data

In this paper, the scale mixture of Akash (SMAK) distribution is introduced. This new distribution results from a scale mixture of the Akash distribution and the exponential distribution. The SMAK distribution is an alternative to two-parameter distributions with a heavy right ta...

Viridicatin from the Antarctic Fungus Penicillium sp. Protects Human Microglia and Patient-Derived Peripheral Immune Cells Against Oxidative Stress

Neurodegenerative diseases remain a major therapeutic challenge, with oxidative stress playing a central role in central and peripheral immune system dysfunction that leads to neuronal loss. Natural products from extreme environments represent an underexplored source of neuroprot...

Milvexian with Antiplatelet Therapy after Acute Coronary Syndrome Event

BackgroundPatients are at increased risk for recurrent ischemic events after an acute coronary syndrome event. Milvexian, an oral factor XIa inhibitor, may reduce the risk of major adverse clinical events with minimal bleeding risk. MethodsIn this phase 3, randomized, placebo-con...

External Mechanical Workload and Acute Physiological Responses During Intermittent Normobaric Hypoxia in Elite Cyclists

Background: Intermittent normobaric hypoxia (INH) has been proposed as a strategy to increase physiological stress while maintaining a relatively low external mechanical workload. However, the acute physiological responses elicited during standardized INH combined with low-intens...

Molecular overview of major salivary gland carcinomas in chilean patients: 2 case reports

Abstract Background Salivary gland tumors (SGTs) are rare neoplasms that account for 8.5 % of head and neck cancers and comprise a highly heterogeneous group of benign and malignant subtypes, according to the World Health Organization. In Chile, epidemiological and molecular data...

Synthesis and In Vivo Antifungal Evaluation of 3-Acyl-bromoindole Regioisomers: A Multi-Targeting Study on Postharvest Pathogen Control and Molecular Dynamics

Background/Objectives: Postharvest fungal decay caused by Botrytis cinerea and Monilinia fructicola poses major threats to global fruit security. Driven by the need for sustainable crop protection agents, this work presents the systematic synthesis, biological evaluation, and com...

Building trust in timber construction: stakeholder perceptions and barriers to adoption in Mexico

Introduction: The construction sector faces growing pressure to reduce embodied emissions while maintaining technical performance, affordability, and long service life. Timber may contribute to lower-carbon construction, although its environmental value depends on forest origin,...
