Mapping Trust Dynamics: A Multilevel Analysis of Stakeholder Trust in the European Food Safety Authority

open access: yesJCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Trust in regulatory regimes is essential for democratic legitimacy and regulatee compliance. This is particularly relevant in multilevel systems such as the European Union. This study examines the interplay of individual‐ and country‐level factors that contribute to stakeholder trust in the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Theorizing Waste as a Technique of Power in Capitalistic Stakeholder Relations

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Waste is an important socio‐ecological challenge of contemporary capitalism, contributing to climate change and environmental degradation. Despite its pervasiveness and its impacts on diverse stakeholders, it yet remains largely underexplored in management and organization studies.

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Rational Design of π‐Conjugated Polymers for Enantioselective Recognition of Amino Acids

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 15, 10 August 2026.
A family of conducting polymers is proposed for the enantioselective recognition of amino acids. The films are generated by electropolymerization of thiophene trimers containing chiral features, with the advantage that the polymerization can be induced at much lower overpotentials compared to classic thiophene monomers, thus avoiding parasitic ...

Synergistic Effects of Silica and Calcium‐Based Dual Admixtures on the Flowability, Microstructure, and Strength Development in Low‐Carbon Concrete

open access: yesApplied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Eco‐friendly construction practices have emerged as a cornerstone of modern development. Due to the substantial carbon emissions from cement production, there is a growing demand for supplementary cementitious materials. This study investigated the synergistic effects of two different wastes, silica‐rich rice husk ash (RHA) and calcium‐rich ...
