Essential, Yet Precarious, Mistreated, Sick and Medicalized: A Sequential Explanatory Mixed‐Methods Study on Homecare Aides in Spain

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 10, Page 814-829, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Homecare aides (HCAs) are professional non‐family caregivers, who support dependent individuals to live at home with dignity; yet in Spain they remain understudied and vulnerable, often facing precarious working conditions. We aimed to characterize HCAs’ employment, living conditions, health, and exposure to workplace violence and ...

Genetic and Pharmacologic Inhibition of Myostatin Restores Muscle Mass in a Dynamin 2‐Related Centronuclear Myopathy Mouse Model

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy (ADCNM), most commonly caused by mutations in the dynamin 2 (DNM2) gene, is a rare congenital myopathy characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy. Myostatin, a key negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass, has shown therapeutic potential in several models of neuromuscular ...

Shear‐Thinning Rheology Reshapes Hydrodynamic Dispersion in Heterogeneous Fractures

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Hydrodynamic dispersion of shear‐thinning fluid in fractured rocks is jointly governed by fracture heterogeneity and fluid rheology, yet the way aperture correlation length alters dispersion mechanisms remains unclear. Here, we carry out pore‐scale lattice Boltzmann simulations to investigate fluid flow and solute transport in heterogeneous ...

Separating Faces in ARMS Metabarcoding Improves Marine Biodiversity Monitoring: A Comparison Across Protocols, Experimental Designs and Photographic Surveys

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Monitoring marine biodiversity requires approaches capable of capturing its spatial and temporal complexity. DNA metabarcoding coupled with Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) is increasingly used for this purpose, yet most applications still pool all sessile fractions and rarely benchmark molecular outputs against photographic ...

Darcy-type law associated to an optimal control problem

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2008
The aim of this paper is to study the asymptotic behaviour (homogenization) of an optimal control problem in a periodically perforated domain with Dirichlet condition on the boundary of the holes.

Getting to the Core of the Matter—Assessing the Role of Replication in Metabarcoding‐Based sedaDNA

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Replication is central to most experimental and sampling designs, increasing inferential power and capturing fine‐scale data heterogeneity. However, its importance remains poorly evaluated in some ecological and evolutionary settings. This is the case of metabarcoding studies using DNA recovered from sedimentary archives, in which biological ...

Mineral Stabilization of Soil Organic Sulfur at the Continental Scale

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
The conventional whole‐soil view treats soil organic sulfur (S) as a single bulk pool, obscuring the mechanisms governing its transformation, stabilization, and availability. Separating organic S into particulate organic sulfur (POS) and mineral‐associated organic sulfur (MAOS) distinguishes their contrasting sources, microbial transformations, and ...

Asymptotic study of a nonlinear elliptic boundary Steklov problem on a nanostructure

Demonstratio Mathematica
The present study is related to the existence and the asymptotic behavior of the solution of a nonlinear elliptic Steklov problem imposed on a nanostructure depending on the thickness parameter ε\varepsilon (nano-scale), distributed on the boundary of ...
