New Labor Governance? The German Supply Chain Act and National Governance Mechanisms in Brazil

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due diligence laws respond to labor governance challenges and to a lack of public governance addressing human rights violations in Global Value Chains. Despite ongoing contestation, the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act seeks to hold German‐based firms accountable for human rights risks in their supply chains.

Investigation of the Optical and Morphological Properties of PS/POMA Blends Hybridized With Erbium Oxide (Er2O3)

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 16, April 20, 2026.
ABSTRACT Polymeric blends (PB) represent a rapid and cost‐effective strategy for the development of materials with tailored properties. In this study, blends of polystyrene (PS) and poly(o‐methoxyaniline) (POMA) containing 7.5 wt/wt% of POMA were prepared and hybridized with erbium oxide (Er2O3) at concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0 wt/wt%.

Ionophore antibiotics and hop cones as regulators of digestion and metabolism in ruminants

Біологічні студії
The general characteristics of ionophore antibiotics and the mechanisms of their antimicrobial action were analyzed. Two types of ionophore antibiotics are known: those that transport ions across the membrane, and those that form a channel in the cell ...

Highly Sensitive and Temperature‐Insensitive Stretchable Strain Sensor with Microcrack‐Engineered Architecture

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
This study proposes a stretchable strain sensor that demonstrates a high gauge factor of 2.3 × 104 and excellent linearity (R2 = 0.98), while maintaining temperature insensitivity under applied strain. This performance is achieved through a microcrack architecture formed by stacking a brittle, low‐resistance material with a stretchable, high‐resistance

Testing Hypotheses of Covariate Effects on Topics of Discourse

Statistical Analysis and Data Mining: An ASA Data Science Journal, Volume 19, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We introduce an approach to topic modeling with document‐level covariates that remains tractable in the face of large text corpora. This is achieved by de‐emphasizing the role of parameter estimation in an underlying probabilistic model, assuming instead that the data come from a fixed but unknown distribution whose statistical functionals are
