Components of Sustainable Leadership in Universities: Systematic Review of the Literature and Proposal of a Taxonomy

ABSTRACT Universities play a pivotal role in promoting sustainable development by adopting sustainable management practices and preparing future leaders with a focus on sustainability. This study investigates the interplay between sustainable leadership, pro‐environmental behavio...

Comparative analysis of African cattle, sheep and goat genomes reveal convergence and divergence to contrasting environments

African livestock have co-existed and co-adapted to Africa’s diverse eco-climates which have likely impacted their genomes. Such impacts however remain poorly investigated across multiple livestock species. Using whole genome sequences of African cattle, sheep, and goats in Ethio...

Donor-SetSwitching in Morpholine-Functionalized 8-Hydroxyquinolines:Consequences for Metal Binding and the Bioactivity of RhCp* Complexes

Abstract Morpholine-functionalized 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ) derivatives with reduced Schiff base linkers, Morph-Et-HQ and Morph-Pr-HQ, were synthesized and comprehensively characterized to investigate the influence of linker length on donor-set preference, metal binding, and the b...

Could this be about the clocks? Rethinking insomnia, sleep bruxism and circadian misalignment

Insomnia symptoms reported in sleep bruxism may partly reflect circadian misalignment rather than insomnia disorder per se, highlighting the need to integrate chronobiological assessment into both bruxism research and clinical practice.

Review of Particle Physics *

The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,200 new measurements from 903 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and b...

Application of the Hirshfeld Atom Refinement to Determine the Spin State of the Novel Fe(III) Schiff Base Complex

The novel complex [FeIII(HL)(L)]·2dmf (1) was successfully synthesized by reacting iron chloride with dimethylformamide solution of the Schiff base ligand (H2L). The ligand was prepared in situ through the condensation of 5-bromo-salicylaldehyde and benzhydrazide. The compound 1...

Geospatial assessment of agrivoltaic feasibility in the Iberian Peninsula

This work investigates the feasibility of deploying agrivoltaic (AgriPV) systems in the Iberian Peninsula through an integrated geospatial assessment framework. The proposed methodology combines geospatial screening, agroclimatic and spatial datasets, crop suitability assessment,...

Whole genome comparative analysis shows limited Escherichia coli co-occurrence within co-habiting humans and dogs

Abstract Background Dogs are one of the most popular companion animals in the UK, with an estimated 13.5 million within UK households. Within these households, human-animal physical interactions may lead to inter-species bacterial sharing, including Escherichia coli . E. coli is...

Cation-Disordered TbNdFeCoO6 Double Perovskite: Structural, Vibrational, Magnetic, and Electrocatalytic Insights for Efficient Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Abstract Double perovskite oxides have emerged as promising multifunctional materials for sustainable energy applications due to their tunable structural, electronic, magnetic, and electrocatalytic properties. In this research study, the cation-disordered double perovskite TbNdFe...

Research Priorities in Perioperative Nursing Across the Lifespan: An e-Delphi Consensus Study

Background/Objective: Perioperative nursing care encompasses a diverse patient population with varying needs, anatomical and physiological characteristics, and differing levels of vulnerability, demanding specialized knowledge and skills. This study aims to identify key research...

Public Policy for Student Housing and Spatial Organization: Typo-Morphological Convergence in PNAES Projects, Portugal

The National Plan for Student Accommodation in Higher Education (PNAES, 2018–2026), funded by the Portuguese Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), aims to increase student housing capacity in Portugal through new construction, rehabilitation, and the adaptation of existing building...

Transforming viticulture through genomic innovation and integrated pest management for sustainable grape production

Abstract Climate change and intensifying disease pressure push viticulture beyond incremental adaptation, especially where grape production depends on repeated pesticide applications. Reducing chemical inputs requires an integrated strategy combining broader genetic diversity, co...

Bridging foresight and transition theory: policy mixes for transforming Europe’s food systems

Abstract European food systems are central drivers of environmental degradation and diet-related health issues, while remaining highly vulnerable to climate, geopolitical, and economic shocks. Against this backdrop of polycrisis and governance complexity, this article develops an...

From concept to practice: How agricultural and forestry living labs are implemented within European funded projects

Living Labs (LLs) have gained prominence in European research and innovation as mission-oriented, place-based approaches for jointly developing solutions to complex agricultural and forestry challenges. Despite this growing institutional momentum, the operational meaning of LLs r...
