Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 169-181, May 2026.We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

Turnout and Invalid Voting in Brazilian Municipal Elections: A Runoff Voting System Tale
Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Volume 73, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT This paper assesses the impact of Brazil's hybrid mayoral voting system on voters' choices and examines the shift in blank, null, and turnout between the first and second rounds. Using fixed‐effects and RDD techniques over 5570 municipalities between 2000 and 2020, this study shows that runoff voting generates more abstention and invalid ...

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Novel polyhydroxylated bis‐chalcones were successfully synthesized and demonstrated COX‐2 selective inhibition. The most potent and selective inhibitor exhibited a mixed‐type inhibition mechanism with COX‐2. Its additional bulk preferentially blocked the access to the active pocket of COX‐1 rather than COX‐2. Selective inhibition of COX‐2 is considered

Visually Transparent and Scalable Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Solar Cells Through Spatial Segmentation
Solar RRL, Volume 10, Issue 8, 27 April 2026.Spatially‐segmented Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films can be implemented as colour‐neutral photovoltaic windows. This segmentation approach preserves material quality and colour integrity by defining indiscernible micro‐stripes rather than thinning the absorber.

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 8, 22 April 2026.Carbon nanomaterial‐reinforced epoxy composites exhibit pronounced piezoresistive behavior, enabling intrinsic damage sensing under cyclic and fatigue loading. This review critically compares carbon nanotube and graphene systems, correlating filler content, percolation threshold, and gauge factor with sensing stability and damage evolution.
