The limits of Antarctic conservation governance
Abstract The Antarctic region exerts a profound influence on the Earth system, making its conservation fundamental to sustaining planetary health and human wellbeing. The Antarctic Treaty System (ATS) holds near-exclusive authority for environmental protection across the region,...

Maternal and paternal postpartum depression relationship: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Background Pregnancy is a stressful phenomenon not only for mothers but also for fathers. Fathers may experience symptoms similar to depression influenced by their emotional relationships with their partners. A better understanding of the factors contributing to paternal...

Central Bank Economic Transparency and Managerial Learning
Abstract Central banks increasingly disclose their private information regarding the economy’s current and future state (CBET). Consistent with CBET shifting investors’ collection and pricing of aggregate-level (where managers do not have an information advantage) toward firm-lev...

Pd/Tl Bimetal-Catalyzed C8–H Alkenylation of Dimethoxycoumarins
Abstract A Pd/Tl bimetallic catalytic method for the regioselective C8–H alkenylation of dimethoxycoumarin scaffolds was developed. The synergistic effects of Tl(OCOCF3)3 and a Pd–thioether ligand catalytic system enabled electrophilic C–H bond activation, followed by Heck-type a...
