Who Does Bogotá “Care” for? Care Blocks, Care Workers and the Sustainable Development Goals

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper critically examines Bogotá's District Care System within the framework of urban social sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Focusing on the Care Blocks (Manzanas del Cuidado), it employs a mixed‐methods approach—legal analysis, interviews, testimonies, surveys, and InfoCuidado data—to explore the paradox of a

A Multifunctional Bioactive Nanoscale Coating Deposited by Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Polymerization of Peppermint Essential Oil

Small, EarlyView.
Atmospheric plasma polymerization transforms peppermint essential oil into ultrathin, substrate‐independent bioactive coatings with antioxidant, contact‐active antibacterial, and immunomodulatory functions. The coating disrupts Gram‐negative pathogens, potentiates prophylactic antibiotics, suppresses pro‐inflammatory signaling, and promotes M2 ...

Concussed: Unintended Consequences of the Guardian Cap Mandate in the NFL

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Guardian Caps are padded shells worn over American football helmets to cushion impacts and reduce concussion risks. In 2022, the NFL mandated their use for specific position groups during preseason practices, later expanding this requirement. While the league praised the Caps for enhancing player safety, skeptics argue they may promote riskier

Research on a Drone‐Based Vacant Parking Detection System

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
It can be difficult to know which spaces are available in parking lots and bicycle parking areas, so knowing the availability status is necessary for efficient parking. Therefore, in this study, we developed the drone that can display the availability status. Availability is determined by whether it can read a QR code attached to the ground. To conduct

In situ monitoring of cell adhesion kinetics using label‐free optical biosensors: Evaluating anticancer potential and selectivity of natural compounds

VIEW, EarlyView.
The limitations of conventional techniques hinder the identification of natural compounds with anticancer potential in terms of speed, throughput, sensitivity, and capability of continuous monitoring of relevant biological effects. Novel label‐free optical biosensors represent new opportunities in the discovery of drug candidates, eliminating these ...

Mallard response to experimental human disturbance on sanctuary areas is mediated by hunting

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife managers often provide spatial sanctuaries for wildlife to escape both lethal (e.g. hunting) and non‐lethal (e.g. non‐consumptive recreation) human disturbance. However, as societal interest in outdoor recreation continues to climb, many areas face added pressure to allow recreation, yet studies increasingly demonstrate negative effects of ...

New to town: home range size, habitat selection and behavioral adaptations by urban hares

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
European hares Lepus europaeus have recently been shown to colonize urban areas in different parts of Europe. This appears to be a novel phenomenon, and little is known about the space use and behavioral adaptations of hares living in urban areas. Here, we describe the first findings concerning home range sizes from GPS‐collared hares (n = 3) in Aarhus
