When Norms Meet Markets: Environmental Governance and Digital Fast‐Fashion Platforms in Brazil

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental governance increasingly relies on consumer‐based mechanisms that assume that sustainability awareness translates into purchasing behaviour. This article investigates whether such mechanisms remain effective when consumption is organised through transnational digital platforms in contexts characterised by socioeconomic inequality.

Group Sparse Representation Based Dictionary Learning for SAR Image Despeckling

IEEE Access, 2019
Since the sparse representation coefficients of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images often appear in clusters with intrinsic structure, traditional sparse representation theory cannot capture this property.

Impact of sleep insufficiency and recovery on cancer development

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Sleep plays a critical role in overall health, and modern lifestyles, such as shift work and late‐night activities, can significantly impact sleep condition. Insufficient sleep has been associated with various adverse health outcomes, including an increased risk of tumor development.

Multistressor Interaction of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) and Temperature in Two Estuarine Fish Species, Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) and Sheepshead Minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), is characterized by a long, fluorinated carbon chain which makes it ideal for oil‐ and water‐repellent products but detrimental for the environment, where it persists and accumulates in organisms.

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of lesions and complicate interpretation.

Valorization of grape seed residues post-oil extraction as an adsorbent for hexavalent chromium in water. Kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics, and techno-economic analysis

Energy Nexus
The objective of the present research was to valorize grape seed residues post-oil extraction (GSR-POE) obtained by pressing as a potential adsorbent of Cr (VI) from simulated aqueous solutions. For this, we first compared the removal of Cr (VI) by grape

Serum‐Proteomic Profiling Reveals Distinct Atopic Dermatitis Severity‐Linked Signatures

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study aimed to identify a set of serum biomarkers that robustly distinguish prespecified severe from mild atopic dermatitis groups. Serum proteomic profiling distinguishes severe from mild atopic dermatitis, revealing an epithelial enriched severity footprint linked to LDH‐associated tissue injury and Th2/Th22 inflammation.
