Do Consumers Respond to Marginal Prices at Kink Points? Evidence From 40+ Million Electricity Bills in Ethiopia

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Leveraging over 40 million residential electricity billing records from more than one million meters in Ethiopia, we test whether consumers respond to marginal prices at kink points under an increasing block tariff (IBT). We exploit a unique institutional setting in which two distinct billing systems (manual postpaid and automated prepaid ...

Sustainable and Seismically Resilient Confined Masonry: Global Progress in Research and Design Practice

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Piper nigrum Has an Antitumor Effect Through Regulation of the Phosphatidylinositol 3‐Kinase Signaling Pathway in a Murine Model of Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 5988-6004, October 2026.
Overview of the antileukemic effects of Piper nigrum extract in AML. P. nigrum reduced leukemic cell proliferation and glycolytic metabolism through modulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. In vivo, treatment reduced leukemic burden, improved hematological parameters, prolonged survival, and modulated antitumor immune responses.

Organic‐Microbial Strategies for Iron and Zinc Biofortification in Orange‐Fleshed Sweet Potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.]

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Orange‐fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) is valued for its provitamin A content but remains poor in iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn). In a two‐season field trial in Senegal, combining locally available organic waste products (poultry litter, PL; sewage sludge, SS) with microbial inocula (beneficial microorganisms, BM; mycorrhizal fungi, MF) significantly improved ...

Interannual MODIS NDVI Dynamics of the Grazing Areas Under Variable Precipitation in Northern Sahel

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Sahel region of sub‐Saharan Africa has suffered from a severe rainfall decline since the mid‐1960s. This study aims to assess the applicability of satellite‐based observations in quantifying the dynamics of MODIS NDVI in the central‐south of the Republic of Niger.
