Interplay of soil characteristics and elevation influences performance of widespread plant species in the Himalaya

The climate change–driven reshuffling of floristic elements has recently gained attention, yet the mechanistic bases of these shifts remain poorly understood. Here, we examined how variation in soil chemical characteristics associated with an elevational gradient influences the e...

Sustained therapeutic benefits of unani interventions in primary insomnia: clinical outcomes, biomarker modulation, and relapse analysis

Primary insomnia is a common sleep–wake disorder characterized by impaired sleep initiation and maintenance with associated daytime dysfunction, while current pharmacological treatments are often limited by safety and tolerability concerns. This study examined the independent and...

Basal Plane Passivation of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXenes Through Prussian Blue Analogue Nanoparticles Anchoring for Efficient and Selective Electrochemical Ammonia Synthesis

ABSTRACT Two‐dimensional (2D) MXene‐based materials have emerged as promising electrocatalysts for aqueous nitrogen fixation. However, their performance is limited by inactive basal planes, weak N 2 adsorption, and hydrophilic surface terminations that hinder N 2 binding and prom...

Netrin-1 and UNC5H receptors: role in cell fate determination and carcinogenesis

Dependence receptors are distinctive type of receptors that induce a cellular state of dependence towards ligand availability. UNC5H receptors are notable examples of these receptors. They promote cell survival upon binding to their ligands, including netrin-1, whereas the absenc...

Green technological development and energy transition for climate sustainability in India

This study examines the asymmetric effects of innovation, renewable energy, and technological know-how on greenhouse gas emissions in India over the period 1990–2018. Using annual data from the World Development Indicators, the study employs the nonlinear autoregressive distribut...

Rock glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalaya: A regional synthesis

Rock glaciers are cryospheric landforms in high-mountain regions and indicators of permafrost occurrence and change under accelerating climate warming. This review synthesizes 67 peer-reviewed studies on rock glaciers across the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) published between 1970 an...

Translation and Validation of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale in Telugu Language

Background: The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) is an extensively followed self-report measure for assessing negative emotional states. The current research aimed to translate the original English version of DASS-21 into Telugu and to evaluate its validity within a...

Latest advancements in nanofiber fabrication and drug delivery, pondering tissue‐engineered scaffolds: current status and future challenges

Abstract Transformative platforms in the pharmaceutical sciences include nanofiber‐based drug delivery systems, engineered to overcome the limitations of conventional methods. Their remarkable properties, such as high surface area, tunable porosity and biomimetic architecture, ma...

Financial development, institutional quality and income inequality: an empirical analysis across developing countries

Purpose This article investigates the role of institutional quality in shaping the link between financial development and income inequality across a sample of 52 developing countries over 1990–2015 using a system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator. Design/methodology/a...

Rhizospheric Mycobiome Associated with Dactylorhiza hatagirea (D. Don) Soo in Kashmir Himalaya: Diversity, Distribution, and Conservation Implications for Sustainable Growth

There is a great scope of understanding and exploring the enigmas of rhizospheric fungi associated with medicinally important orchid in Kashmir Himalaya. This study was carried out to isolate and characterize rhizospheric soil fungi associated with Dactylorhiza hatagirea (D. Don)...

Elevational shift in pollen quantity–quality trade-off and stress-tolerant morphology in Himalayan Thymus linearis

High-altitude environments impose multiple abiotic stressors that shape plant reproductive and morphological responses; however, within-species tests of pollen quantity–quality relationships along elevation remain rare. We investigated 16 vegetative and reproductive traits of Thy...

A novel approach to dyslexia detection: combining EEG data and cognitive tasks with advanced machine learning

Existing dyslexia detection methods typically rely on either EEG or screening tests. This study introduces a multimodal two-stage methodology for dyslexia detection that integrates both EEG signals and screening test data, using spectral features (Shannon entropy and Power Spectr...

Untangling the Asymmetric Effects of Oil Price Dynamics and Disaggregated Shocks on Economic Policy Uncertainty: Evidence from India

India’s economic policy uncertainty (EPU) is significantly affected by global commodity market fluctuations, particularly oil prices. Oil-related shocks, such as supply, demand and risk, have been shown to affect domestic, economic and financial conditions in the previous literat...

Decoding organic food choices: exploring brand identification, credibility, ambiguity tolerance in shaping consumer attitudes and intentions using SEM and fsQCA

Purpose This study examines the influence of consumers' brand image identification, credibility towards organic food brands and ambiguity tolerance on the attitude-intention link, grounded in the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) framework. It also explores the mediating role of...

Determinants of Out-of-pocket health expenditure: cross-country evidence across World Bank income groups

BACKGROUND Out-of-pocket (OOP) health expenditure remains a major barrier to achieving Universal Health Coverage, yet limited evidence exists on whether its determinants differ systematically across World Bank income groups. This study examines the macroeconomic and health financ...
