Sustainability Crafting: How Employees Translate Sustainability Intentions Into Green Behaviors

ABSTRACT Despite growing organizational emphasis on sustainability, employees often fail to translate their sustainability intentions into workplace behaviors, resulting in a persistent intention–behavior gap. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior and the job crafting literat...

Breaking ground, beyond the floor assumption: An experimental approach to seaweed ash-cemented deposits in the Atacama Desert coast

On the Atacama Desert coast, a unique type of ash-cemented deposit has been reported in architectural stone-built structures from the Late Archaic Period (ca. 5500–4000 BP). Functional approaches traditionally infer these layers as domestic constructed floors that also served to...

The complete defensive strategy: Defining complementary pitching and fielder positioning strategies in baseball

In baseball, the characteristics of a pitch have an effect on a batted ball’s trajectory. For example, batters are more likely to hit a fastball to the opposite side of the field and to pull a changeup. In this paper, we present novel matchup and pitch-specific approaches to posi...

Molecular remodelling of Cryptococcus neoformans during adaptation to host temperature

Introduction. The ability of Cryptococcus neoformans to adapt to host temperature is an important feature of its pathogenic potential and requires extensive cellular remodelling. Hypothesis/Gap Statement. Although C. neoformans undergoes substantial molecular changes at host temp...

Sharpening bordering: What counts, where it operates, and what endures

We respond to Laine's account of supply chains as bordering infrastructures by asking three linked questions: What counts as bordering, where does it operate, and what forms endure? We argue that bordering: (1) depends on identifiable mechanisms that differentially organize mobil...

Candidozyma auris Prosthetic Joint Infection: A Case Report and Systematic Case-Based Literature Review of Osteoarticular Infections

Candidozyma auris, recently taxonomically reclassified, represents an emerging multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen that has evolved into a critical nosocomial and global public health threat. This organism exhibits a profound capacity for resilient biofilm formation on biotic and...

Aberrant erythrocyte rigidity in JAK2 V617F myeloproliferative neoplasms underlies concurrent thrombosis and hemorrhage

Thrombotic events are the leading cause of death in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) driven by the JAK2 Val 617 →Phe (JAK2V617F) mutation. We investigated how JAK2V617F alters hemostasis and thrombosis in humans and in lineage-specific knockin mice to test whether red blood ce...

Climate change impacts flowering, pollinator interactions, and seed yield in canola

Insect-mediated pollination is a crucial ecosystem service that significantly contributes to the fertilisation of crop plants. However, as extreme weather events become more frequent with climate change, environmental stressors such as heat waves and drought threaten this mutuali...

Phenotype‐Based Risk Stratification in Patients With New‐Onset Atrial Fibrillation Following Myocardial Infarction Using a Data‐Driven Approach

ABSTRACT Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) after myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, yet existing risk stratification tools perform poorly in this population. Conventional predictors fail to capture multidimensional risk, while dat...

Polar vs Non-polar Excipients in BSA Aggregation

Abstract Purpose In recent years, there has been a rapid expansion in the development of new protein therapeutics in the pharmaceutical industry. Problematically, proteins are conformationally and colloidally marginally stable, and thus it is necessary to formulate them using buf...

Achieving Inclusive Growth in African Countries: The Role of Governance, Renewable Energy and Digital Infrastructure

ABSTRACT Achieving inclusive growth has become a central policy objective for many African countries following decades of robust economic growth that has generated few employment opportunities and offered little hope for inclusive growth. With rising investments in renewable ener...

Operationalizing resilience for sustainable infrastructure governance across the life cycle

Abstract Sustainability and resilience expectations for infrastructure are escalating faster than the regulatory frameworks meant to deliver them. This mismatch is most acute for ageing critical infrastructure. Yet, adaptation decisions remain fragmented because resilience and su...

Haplotype diversity and population genetic structure of Aethina tumida, an emerging global beekeeping pest in India

The small hive beetle (SHB) ( Aethina tumida Murray) is an invasive pest of apiculture globally that has invaded many regions over the past three decades. In India, it was first reported in 2022 from honey bee colonies in North 24 Parganas, West Bengal. Investigating the populati...

Research on sports exercise posture monitoring and energy consumption law based on energy power sensors

This study develops a self-powered multimodal wearable sensing framework for simultaneous sports-posture recognition and human energy-expenditure estimation. The wearable node integrates triaxial acceleration and angular-velocity sensing with an auxiliary micro-energy-harvesting...

Quality of life and associated factors among patients with cystic echinococcosis treated at referral hospitals in Northwestern Ethiopia

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a chronic neglected zoonotic disease that can substantially affect the physical, psychological, and social well-being of affected individuals. Despite its considerable burden, evidence on quality of life (QoL) among previously treated CE patients rem...

Multifunctional bioactivity of ellagic acid and pomegranate oil: selective anticancer in melanoma models

Melasma and skin cancer require effective and safe topical treatments. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential cytotoxic and antioxidant effects attributed to exposure to ellagic acid (EA) and pomegranate oil (PO) using human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and melanoma cell...

Metabolic syndrome prevalence clinical profile and associated metabolic risk factors among women with polycystic ovary syndrome in a tertiary care setting

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder affecting women of reproductive age and is associated with insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, obesity, and an increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Early identification of metabolic abnormalities...

Renal CD163+ and CD68+ Macrophage Infiltration and Urinary sCD163 Levels in IgA Nephropathy

Background IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) often affects young adults and leads to significant renal failure in many patients in India. Macrophages are linked to renal inflammation and fibrosis. We examined CD68+ and CD163+ macrophage infiltration in renal biopsies and measured urinary an...

Same Target but Different Bleeding Outcomes: Insights from a Randomized Apixaban-Rivaroxaban Comparison in Patients with Acute Venous Thromboembolism

Jean-Luc Reny, Youssef Daali, Jean Terrier; Same Target but Different Bleeding Outcomes: Insights from a Randomized Apixaban-Rivaroxaban Comparison in Pati

Infection of macrophages by mpox virus activates inflammasome and cell death, informing multitarget therapeutic strategies

Severe mpox virus (MPXV) infection causes immunopathological manifestations in patients. Here, we provide clinical evidence of MPXV-induced inflammation in a large patient cohort and demonstrate direct macrophage infection in skin tissues from an autopsied mpox patient. In human...
