Decision Theory and Proof Standards for Future Crimes: Possible Uses and Open Questions

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT What should be the proof standard for applying preventive criminal sanctions based on an establishment of risk of reoffending? This is an open question in legal systems around the world. Various authors suggest that we can answer it by using decision theory. This approach conceptualises the proof standard as a probabilistic threshold. A person

Homo‐/Heterodimeric Substrates Bias the Type and Multiplicity of Hydroxamic Acid Chelators Assembled by a NIS Synthetase DesD

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Chemoenzymatic reactions using the siderophore synthetase DesD from Salinispora tropica and hydroxamic acid substrates (native, non‐native) with different multiplicities (monomer, dimer) and components (homo‐/heterodimer) followed different reaction trajectories, which biased the architectures of the chelator major products and indicated DesD contains ...

A Unified Approach for the Synthesis of Conformationally Locked and sp2‐sp3 Fused Hybrids

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This study presents a systematic platform to build rigid sp2–sp3 hybrids via benzyne cycloadditions. Arene‑fused bicyclic oxa‐, aza‐, and carbocycles are converted into medicinally relevant amino acids and applied to Enalapril analogues synthesis. The hybrids combine aromatic interactions with 3D rigidity, tuning lipophilicity, pKa, and solubility ...

Synthesis of Tris(indol‐3‐yl)methanes From Indoles, CO2, and Dimethylphenylsilane With BPh3: Two‐Step Construction of π‐Conjugated Systems

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Tris(indol‐3‐yl)methanes were synthesized from indoles, CO2, and PhMe2SiH in the presence of BPh3 in acetonitrile at 50°C. One product, tris(4‐bromo‐1‐methylindol‐3‐yl)methane, underwent a palladium‐catalyzed cascade reaction for the formation of a novel polycyclic heteroaromatic compound, where the methine C(sp3) atom originating from CO2 was ...

Anisotropy Factor Spectra for Weakly Allowed Electronic Transitions in Chiral Ketones

ChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Anisotropy factor spectra for the weak n→π*‐type A‐band of chiral ketones cannot be described within the Franck–Condon approximation. Thus, we present such spectra computed by accounting for Herzberg–Teller corrections and compare them to experiments for fenchone, camphor and 3MCP to describe chiroptical properties of these molecules in the mid to near

Calibrated Autonomy: China's 2026 Business Mediation Ordinance and the Reconfiguration of Dispute Resolution

Conflict Resolution Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article argues that China's 2026 Business Mediation Ordinance represents neither progress toward rule of law nor retreat from it. I propose instead that we are witnessing something I call “calibrated autonomy”—the strategic construction of spaces for private ordering that remain tethered to Party‐State oversight through multiple ...

Detection of Nitazenes in the Illicit Drug Supply Utilizing Precursor Ion Scan Methods With Paper Spray Mass Spectrometry

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Nitazenes are increasingly present in the illicit drug supply, complicating harm reduction efforts. We have developed a rapid, nontargeted precursor ion scan method to detect emerging nitazenes in real‐world opioid samples. The method identified multiple nitazenes, often replacing pharmaceutical opioids or mixed with fentanyl and benzodiazepines ...

Toward Comprehensive Climate Action: Assessing Mitigation Approaches Across Canadian Municipalities

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local governments are widely regarded as key leaders in the global response to climate change. Understanding if and how municipalities commit to climate mitigation is crucial for assessing their contribution to global emission‐reduction goals and identifying barriers to effective climate transitions.

Is It Possible to Preserve Statehood Without Protection of National Identity? (Some Lessons from Post-Soviet Constitutionalism Based on the Experience of Ukraine)

Baltic Journal of Law & Politics
The collapse of the Soviet Union forced a new look at the issue of protecting national identity at the constitutional level. If within the framework of the existing integration schemes on the European continent, this problem was analysed in the ...

The Ecological U‐Turn in Nordic Forestry: Policy Learning, Measurement, and the Retrenchment of Ecological Ambitions

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the 1990s, environmental policy has shifted toward ecosystem protection and biodiversity conservation, a development often described as an ecological turn. This article argues that in practice this turn has taken the form of an ecological “U‐turn,” as environmental ambitions are subordinated to production‐oriented objectives.
