Adolescents’ approval of normative and non-normative pro-environmental protest tactics [Author Accepted Manuscript]

Accelerating environmental and climate crises have led to a rise in pro-environmental protests in recent years, with youth playing a pivotal role. However, some protest tactics have not been without controversy. We investigated, in a pre-registered study, German 10- to 14-year-ol...

Two‐Dimensional Conjugated Metal Organic Frameworks with Dual Metal Catalytic Active Sites Enhance POD Activity for Antibacterial Treatment

ABSTRACT The emergence of drug‐resistant bacteria has brought a grand challenge to the treatment of oral ulcers (OUs). Peroxidase (POD) enzymes catalyze the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) into reactive oxygen species (ROS), offering a promising strategy for treating d...

Low remuneration and nurse turnover in the NHS in England: a critical analysis

There is a shortfall of nurses and growing nurse attrition globally, which have been attributed to a range of systemic factors, including inadequate pay. In the UK NHS, the effectiveness of the Agenda for Change (AfC) pay structure in resolving historical and persistent nursing i...

Investigating the association between angina and osteoporosis: a 20-year longitudinal cohort study of ELSA

Abstract Background Osteoporosis (OP) is recognized as a major global health threat. Although an association between angina and osteoporosis was established, the underlying mechanisms connecting the two conditions were not clearly elucidated. Therefore, this study aims to systema...

Mechanical and durability-related properties of one-part alkali-activated slag mortars

The mechanical and durability-related properties of a one-part alkali-activated slag (AAS) were evaluated for use as a sustainable alternative to conventional clinker-based materials. The AAS formulation was activated with stoichiometric calcium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. Co...

Redox‐Pathway Reconstruction in Carbonate Electrolyte to Achieve Durable Na─S Battery

ABSTRACT The practical performance of room‐temperature sodium–sulfur (RT Na─S) batteries in low‐solubility carbonate electrolytes is fundamentally constrained by slow “solid‐solid” sulfur conversion, causing incomplete redox reactions and rapid capacity fading. Herein, we propose...

Where Formal Libraries Spend Their Axioms: A Cross-Foundation Measurement, and an Avoidable Classical Dependency in Lean's omega

A proof assistant can report which axioms a theorem rests on, but only one theorem at a time, and only whether rather than why. I measure axiom use across six libraries and two proof systems - the Metamath databases set.mm (ZFC, classical first-order), iset.mm (intuitionistic), n...

ASector-Coupling Model to Evaluate the Role of Hydrogenin Low-Carbon Trucking

Abstract The global energy system must deeply decarbonize as soon as possible to avert the worst consequences of climate change, including the transportation sector, which accounts for 23% of global emissions. Several technological options have been proposed to decarbonize diesel...

Unravelling the genomic potential of sponge-associated Streptomyces sp. BLC 17–3 from Indonesia for mannooligosaccharide production

This research aims to show the promising capacity of Streptomyces sp. BLC 17–3 to produce high β-mannanase enzymes and generate mannooligosaccharide (MOS) such as mannobiose, mannotriose, mannotetraose and mannopentaose when exposed to mannan polymers. Streptomyces sp. BLC 17–3 w...

Doctrinal Alignment Between American Democratic Socialism and Marxist Communism: A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Policy Positions and Their Anticipated Political, Economic, and Social Consequences

Public debate increasingly equates American democratic socialism with Marxist communism, yet this equation is rarely subjected to systematic, evidence-based measurement. This dissertation examines the degree to which the documented policy positions of the Democratic Socialists of...

"Just Part of Aging?" Sleep-Problem Normalization, Sleep-Related Worry, Help-Seeking, and Emotional Distress Among Chinese Older Adults

Many older adults experience poor sleep but do not always view it as a problem requiring help. This thesis examines sleep-problem normalization (SPN), defined as the belief that poor sleep is an expected or less serious part of aging. Although sleep-related cognitions and views o...

Verhaltenspolitik 2.0: Evidenz, Infrastruktur und Governance für die nächste Generation verhaltensbasierter Politik

Zusammenfassung Verhaltensökonomische Ansätze sind heute fest in der Wirtschaftspolitik verankert. Wie Malte Dewies und Lucia A. Reisch argumentieren, hat die Verhaltenspolitik eine zweite, reifere Phase erreicht – mit stärkerer Evidenz, fester institutioneller Einbettung sowie h...

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...

Energy Supply Shocks and Inflation in Central and Eastern Europe: Evidence from Bayesian SVARs and Local Projections

Energy price shocks have been the main drivers of inflation in Europe during the last decade. This paper examines cross-country differences in the transmission and magnitude of energy supply shocks in the Visegrád Group countries (Poland, Czechia, Hungary, and Slovakia) over the...

Erdős–Straus Project Archive: Residual Divisor Shells, Quotient Surpluses, and Finite Verification
