Early‐Life Polyethylene Microplastic Exposure Exacerbates ADHD‐Like Behaviors in Mice via PI3K/AKT1/Nrf2 Signaling: Evidence From the Pilot Cohort and Multi‐Omics Analyses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Circulating polyethylene microplastic burden is positively associated with heightened ADHD symptom severity and systemic redox‐inflammatory imbalance in children. Mechanistic investigation in a developmental co‐exposure mouse model further demonstrates that microplastics aggravate ADHD‐like behaviors, dopaminergic dysregulation, and oxidative ...

A new extended Fréchet model with different estimation methods and applications

Heliyon
In this study, we introduce a new extension of the Fréchet distribution known as the new extended Fréchet (NE_Fr) model. The NE_Fr is created by combining the new extended X family of distributions and the Fréchet distribution.

Benchmarking least squares support vector machine classifiers. [PDF]

In Support Vector Machines (SVMs), the solution of the classification problem is characterized by a ( convex) quadratic programming (QP) problem. In a modified version of SVMs, called Least Squares SVM classifiers (LS-SVMs), a least squares cost function

Promoting Healthier Drinking: Evidence From a Vignette Experiment on Contextual and Informational Drivers of Dealcoholized Wine Choices

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Growing demand for healthier beverages is driving innovation in the wine sector, with dealcoholized wine emerging as a promising alternative. However, little is known about the contextual conditions under which consumers would choose dealcoholized wine, particularly in countries with strong wine traditions. To fill this gap, this work examines

Differentiated Impacts of EU Rural Development Measures: A Finite Mixture Evaluation of Italian Olive Farms

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between participation in the EU Rural Development Program and the economic performance of Italian olive farms using a finite‐mixture model with inverse‐probability‐weighted regression adjustment. Based on 2010–2022 FADN panel data, it estimates heterogeneous treatment effects while correcting for selection ...

Voluntary Collective Action to Address Growing Agricultural Challenges in Two Countries: Experimental Insights and Commonalities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.
