Green Versus Brown Assets Under Stress: Who Hedges Energy and Market Risk?

Sustainable finance increasingly treats green assets as instruments for climate-risk hedging; however, it remains unclear whether they protect investors during energy-market shocks and financial-market stress or merely transmit different transition, equity-market, and growth risk...

Reverse zoonoses: Human-to-animal disease transmission and its one health implications

Public discussion of zoonotic disease nearly always runs in one direction: a virus jumps from a bat, a bird, or a pig into a person, and from there into the headlines. Far less attention is paid to the reverse traffic, in which humans pass their own pathogens back into animal pop...

Extraction of Hexavalent and Trivalent F-Block Elements Using Metal–Organic Framework-303: An Experimental and Theoretical Investigation

Abstract In this study, the adsorption behavior of uranium, U(VI), and neodymium, Nd(III), onto metal–organic framework (MOF)-303, exhibiting a high surface area and tunable functional groups, was systematically investigated. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to evaluat...

Microstructural evolution of SIMP steel during martensitic transformation

SIMP steel, a reduced activation ferritic/martensitic heat–resistant steel, is a promising candidate for structural applications in future nuclear fusion reactors. Understanding the evolution of microstructure in SIMP steel is of practical importance for improving the structural...

Effects of the Adsorbed Dispersant Layer on Steric Stabilization in Multicomponent Nickel Pastes

In multilayer ceramic capacitors, the internal electrodes are fabricated by printing thin layers of nickel paste, which contains a dispersant to prevent the agglomeration of nickel powder particles within the paste. We used molecular dynamics simulations and cryogenic focused ion...

Incretins beyond weight and hyperglycemia management: a consensus statement by AASD

Abstract Background The global prevalence of obesity continues to rise, with 3 billion adults projected to be affected by 2030. Recent advances in anti-obesity pharmacotherapy, particularly incretin-based medications, have transformed obesity management. This consensus provides e...

InstructDS: An Instruction-Tuned language model with smoothed contrastive confidence decoding for generating patient discharge instructions

Documenting patient discharge instructions is vital for continuity of care, but it also increases provider documentation burden. Large language models now offer an opportunity to support the generation of personalised discharge instructions. This paper introduces InstructDS, an i...

Statistical downscaling for projections of future temperature and rainfall over the Lower Chenab Canal command area, Pakistan based on SDSM–CanESM2

Climate change and global warming are major events in the twenty-first century. Lower Chenab Canal (LCC) command area has been reflected as a hot spot, for impact of climate change on agriculture and water availability. The study aimed to project future changes in temperatures an...

Fournier’s Gangrene and Extensive Abdominal Necrotizing Fasciitis Secondary to Perforated Appendicitis Within an Inguinoscrotal Hernia: A Rare Case Report

Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a life-threatening necrotizing infection rarely triggered by an intra-abdominal process. We report an unusual case of FG and extensive abdominal necrotizing fasciitis secondary to a perforated appendix within an inguinoscrotal hernia. A 66-year-old mal...

The effect of education provided to university students on sustainable nutrition: a comparison of ChatGPT and individual nutrition education

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of face-to-face, individually delivered sustainable nutrition education for university students with that of a ChatGPT-generated educational brochure. The Sustainable Eating Behavior Scale, the Sustainable Food Literacy Scale, and the...

Undecidability's Limits: Halting, Incompleteness, and Unsolvable Physics Problems — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Undecidable problems in computation (halting problem, Gödel incompleteness) impose fundamental limits on knowledge, with physical analogs in unsolvable physics problems. | MATH: Halting problem proof: no Turing machine can decide if an arbitrary program halts (reduction...

Niacin Synthesis from 3-Cyanopyridine by Recombinant Escherichia coli: Optimization and Immobilization

Niacin (vitamin B3) is a high-value chemical widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. In this study, a recombinant Escherichia coli strain expressing nitrilase from Pseudomonas putida CGMCC3830 was evaluated for the whole-cell biotransformation of high-concentration...

Resilience behaviors as mechanisms for scaling impact in social enterprises

Purpose This study examines how social enterprises build organizational resilience during scaling processes, extending the Nonprofit Resiliency Framework beyond crisis contexts to scaling scenarios. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative research based on 21 in-depth interviews...

Development and Clinical Application of CPAP-Specific Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are relevant in sleep medicine, but CPAP-specific PROMs for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remain insufficiently characterized. We hypothesized that a PROM tailored to CPAP initiation would show acceptable psychometric performa...

Pulp response to cold and electrical sensibility tests in patients with hypothyroidism: an analytical cross-sectional study

Thyroid disorders are the second most common endocrine diseases worldwide. Hypothyroidism has been associated with peripheral neuropathy; however, its potential effects on dental pulp sensibility remain poorly understood. This study aimed to compare responses to cold and electric...

THIN CAPITALISATION AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF LISTED MULTINATIONAL FIRMS IN NIGERIA

Abstract Taxation constitutes a significant cost that influences corporate financial performance and wealth maximization objectives. In response, multinational firms often engage in tax planning strategies such as thin capitalization to reduce tax burdens. This study examines the...

Pulsed Field Versus Cryoballoon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: Procedural Outcomes and Hemolysis-Related Laboratory Changes in a Single-Center Pilot Study

Background and Objectives: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) and cryoballoon ablation (CRYO) are established approaches for pulmonary vein isolation in atrial fibrillation (AF). Given emerging concerns regarding hemolysis following PFA, this pilot study aims to directly compare outcome...

Mapping autonomy in mental health care: a scoping review protocol

Autonomy is regarded as a fundamental principle in the global reform of mental health care, as promoted by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and reflected in various international initiatives aimed at eliminating coercive practices and fostering rig...

The locus coeruleus gateway hypothesis: Noradrenergic integrity as a candidate determinant of amyloid-β clearance efficiency in anti-amyloid immunotherapy for Alzheimer's disease
