Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pesticides and pharmaceuticals are among the most common chemical groups in waterbodies and soils, and their universal distribution raises concerns about potential adverse effects on nontarget organisms and humans. Reproductive output disruption is of particular concern, as it transposes effects from the individual to the next generations at ...

CF and CH Bond Activation Reactions of Fluorinated Molecules at Rhodium Pincer Complexes
Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.Hydrido Rh pincer complexes showed C–F bond activation reactivity with a selectivity at the para position of pentafluoropyridine and octafluorotoluene. The C–H bond activation capability was unleashed by irradiation with UV light to obtain a deprotonated and coordinative unsaturated pincer complex intermediate as the active species.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including images, videos and active acoustic) are increasingly used to monitor wildlife movements, foraging behaviours ...

Impact of Climate Change on Labor Market Dynamics: Evidence From Kazakhstan
Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines how drought shocks affect formal employment in Kazakhstan. We combine remote sensing data on drought severity—the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI)—with quarterly firm‐level administrative employment records from 2012 to 2022.

The “Pesticide Chip”: Chemical Legacies and Agrarian Futures in Costa Rica
Antipode, EarlyView.Abstract For decades, agro‐industrial capital has adopted cascading chemical and biotechnical interventions, or fixes, to secure accumulation through the cultivation of monocrops. We develop a framework that centres on how monocrop‐induced susceptibility to pests and pathogens—and the patchwork of fixes to address these—produces uneven chemical ...

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.
