When education sticks: early imprints and sociopreneurship in emerging economies

This study examines how entrepreneurship education and training (EET) influences sociopreneurship in emerging economies. Drawing on dynamic imprinting theory, we argue that EET received at different stages of life leaves imprints of unequal durability, and that the expression of...

Difelikefalin Treatment in Chronic Kidney Disease-Associated Pruritus: Modelling Infection-Related Hospitalisation Cost Offsets Using Trial and Real-World Data Across Seven European Countries

INTRODUCTION: We estimated cost offsets from treating moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) with difelikefalin, through reduced infection-related hospitalisations (IRHs). METHODS: Using Stockholm CREAtinine Measurements study data, IRH rates were...

Multiwavelength Observations of Substructures in Solar Flare Ribbons

Abstract Solar flare ribbons are extensive brightenings in the chromosphere during flares, often showing fine-scale structuring that reflects the underlying energy release. Using high-cadence imaging from the Swedish 1 m Solar Telescope/CRISP during an X1.5-class limb flare on 20...

Chained to blockchain: How escalating attachments communicatively constitute failing courses of action

How do multiple possible action trajectories progressively narrow into one failing line of activity? While escalation of commitment scholars have long puzzled over this question, their tendency to conflate escalation with persistence and treat commitment as primarily cognitive co...

A review and conceptual blueprint of the role of prospective life cycle assessment for product design and development

Abstract Prospective life cycle assessment (pLCA) has emerged as a promising approach to anticipate how emerging and existing products could shape future environmental outcomes. However, increasing diversity in pLCA approaches has led to inconsistencies in terminology and methodo...

“But we don't know, it could come back” temporalities and times of the Unbuilt Lamu Coal Power Plant

Global infrastructure projects promise to transform economies, territories, and societies at pace and scale. However, many remain unbuilt and in states of (un)realization; not completely canceled but abandoned, delayed, or facing ongoing challenges in being delivered. Our intenti...

Impacts of Future Oil Palm Expansion on Carbon and Hydrological Fluxes Across the Tropics

Abstract Future oil palm expansion could substantially alter tropical carbon and water cycles, but its regional impacts remain unclear. Using CLM5‐palm, we simulate large‐scale oil palm expansion from 2023 to 2100 in Southeast Asia, Africa and the Amazon. Expansion increases tota...

Glacier surges on James Ross Island, Antarctica, and their relationship with climate

Abstract. Although the Antarctic Peninsula has a similar climate to that of other regions hosting surge-type glaciers, only one glacier surge has been previously observed in this region. We examined ice surface velocity, elevation and terminus position changes of Antarctic Penins...

Stratification in small randomised clinical trials and analysis of covariance: Some simple theory and recommendations

A simple device for balancing for a continuous covariate in clinical trials is to stratify by whether the covariate is above or below some target value, typically the predicted median. The object is to improve balance of the covariate and hence efficiency of the treatment estimat...

Factors Associated With Progression From Level 1 to Level 2 Sensor‐Detected Hypoglycaemia in People With Type 1 and Insulin‐Treated Type 2 Diabetes: A Post Hoc Analysis From the Hypo‐ METRICS Study

ABSTRACT Aims We investigated the proportion of sensor‐detected hypoglycaemic (SDH) events progressing to level 2, and associated variables. Materials and Methods We used data from Hypo‐METRICS, which recruited people with type 1 (pwT1D) and insulin‐treated type 2 diabetes (pwT2D...

Morphogenesis of street networks in informal settlements: Building/plotting/extending/gridding

Abstract This paper articulates an urban design logic of informal settlement. While there are many different morphological outcomes of informal settlement processes, there are common patterns of expansion, intensification, and design of public space networks. Unlike formal urban...

Caring networks for digital inclusion: how network weaving transforms responses to digital inequalities

Digital inequalities persist despite extensive policy and research efforts aimed at expanding access, skills, and technology use. Prior research has focused mainly on techno-centric, top-down interventions, which have been limited in their success due to their lack of relational,...

Biofilms and disinfection by-products in Mediterranean drinking water networks: effect of temperature on disinfection strategies

Biofilms inhabiting drinking water networks can degrade water quality, leading to disinfectant depletion, pipe corrosion and organoleptic issues. In this study, the use of in situ biofilm sampling devices, which enabled sample collection without interrupting the supply, provided...

A child-centred measure of tooth hypersensitivity for molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH-TH): development and psychometric evaluation

Abstract Purpose Children with molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) frequently experience tooth hypersensitivity (TH), affecting functional, emotional and social wellbeing. Various assessment methods have been used to investigate these impacts; however, there are concerns about...

A model for the epidemiological impact of tuberculosis policy options.

Objective: To develop a new tuberculosis transmission model, addressing the limitations of and building on the TB Impact Model and Estimates software tool, to enable decision-makers to assess the impact of various tuberculosis interventions and allocate resources more effectively...

The Power of Heritage Norms: Bridging Critical Heritage Theory and Norm Circle Theory

ABSTRACT This article brings Norm Circle Theory (NCT) into dialogue with Critical Heritage Theory (CHT) to examine normative authority in the heritage field. Although strands of CHT that draw on discourse analysis and assemblage approaches illuminate the ideological formations sh...
