Technology‐Enabled Cross‐Border Entrepreneurship: The Role of Digital Platforms in SME Expansion Through the Lens of Institutional Theory

Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) face significant institutional barriers when expanding across borders, including regulatory constraints, financial accessibility issues, and market entry challenges. Institutional theory provides a useful framework for understanding how external regulative, normative, and cognitive institutional forces

Ecotoxicological Assessment of Mercury in Fish From a Gold‐Mining‐Impacted Amazonian River: Biomonitoring and Human Health Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Peixoto de Azevedo River, located in northern Mato Grosso, southern Brazilian Amazon, has a long history of artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM). This study evaluated total mercury (THg) concentrations in fish tissues to assess biomagnification and potential risks.

The 2026 cold wave brought northern Fennoscandia its coldest 2‐week period since 1987

Weather, EarlyView.
During late December 2025 and January 2026, a severe and long‐lasting cold wave affected northern Fennoscandia. In this article, we aim to quantify the extremity of the 2026 cold wave and evaluate the atmospheric conditions that led to the persistent cold anomalies.

An Experimental Study on the Protective Effect of Memantine in Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examined the potential protective effects of memantine, an N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, against acoustic trauma (AT) in guinea pigs, using electrophysiological and histopathological analyses. Methods Thirty guinea pigs with normal hearing were divided into six groups (n = 5 per group): Group 1 (control),

A Dual‐Frequency Sensitivity Model for Optical Fibre Ultrasonic Sensors in Power Transformer Partial Discharge Detection

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The detection of partial discharges (PD) on the power transformer tank demands higher sensitivity in ultrasonic detection. To target the detection frequency band for sensor optimisation and enhance sensitivity, this paper presents a dual‐frequency sensitivity model for optical fibre ultrasonic sensors.

Investigation of the Evolution Mechanism and Multiphysics Coupling in Tree‐Contact Single‐Phase‐to‐Ground Fault

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tree‐contact single‐phase‐to‐ground fault (TSF) is a common and hazardous type of failure in distribution networks. TSF is likely to occur when overhead conductors contact moist tree branches, potentially leading to insulation breakdown, posing serious threats to grid safety.

Study on the Coupled Effects of High‐Speed Airflow and Charged Sand on Power‐Frequency Discharge Characteristics of Conductor–Tower Gaps in Strong Wind–Sand Environments

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strong wind–sand weather in Xinjiang threatens power grid safety by increasing transmission line tripping risks. Existing studies focus on sand polarization but neglect the coupled influence of high‐speed airflow and charged sand on gap discharge characteristics.
