Palaces for a New Spain Nobility: Between Creole Identity and Academicism

Sociology Lens, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 75-86, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Mexico City and Havana had a significant number of noble palaces during the eighteenth century. Until now, the dearth of historical documentation on their construction has hampered any approximation, requiring other methodologies.

“CONSCIENCE AND THE ENDS OF HUMANITY: CHRISTIAN HUMANISM AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE”

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract The astonishing speed of the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has sparked reflections by theologians and philosophers on what distinctiveness, if any, human beings possess as individuals and as a species. This article addresses this question with respect to an ancient idea in Christian thought reaching back to St.

Ventilatory pressure parameters impact the association between acute gastrointestinal injury and all-cause mortality in mechanically ventilated patients

Scientific Reports
Acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) is common in mechanically ventilated (MV) patients, but the potential association between ventilatory pressure parameters and AGI grade and their impact on mortality remains unclear.

Mitochondrial β‐carbonic anhydrase is a conserved metabolic rheostat for branched‐chain amino acid catabolism and metabolic flexibility

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are ubiquitous metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of CO2, enabling fundamental processes in organisms across all domains of life. Among all CAs, the role of mitochondrial βCA remains poorly understood. Here, we identify a mitochondrial βCA, βCA6, as a key regulator of branched‐chain amino acid (BCAA)

Navigating Digital Transformation? The Guiding Role and Socialization Processes of Change Agents

Public Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article investigates the role of internal change agents in advancing digital transformation within public sector organizations. In response to the complexities of digitalization, these change agents guide their peers in adopting technology and bridging the gap between strategy and implementation. We draw on an 18‐month diary study (N = 68,

Frost growth and 3D reconstruction on silver iodide (AgI) dot-patterned surface under desublimation conditions

Journal of Thermal Science and Technology
This study investigates the frost growth behaviors on a silver iodide (AgI) dot-patterned surface under desublimation conditions. The surface was fabricated using a two-step process combining UV lithography and UV nanoimprinting, resulting in a flat ...

Engineered Production of Hydroxycinnamoyl Tyramine Conjugates Limits the Growth of the Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae in Arabidopsis

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydroxycinnamoyl tyramine conjugates are phenolamides produced by plants in response to pathogen attack and biotic stresses. Their proposed mechanisms of action include cytotoxicity towards pathogens, cell wall reinforcement to restrict pathogen proliferation, and signaling activity to trigger general stress responses.
