Financial Inclusion, Energy Transition, and Sustainable Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Distributional Panel Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) faces pressing financing and structural transitions to achieve the 2030 Agenda, yet the distributional relationships linking financial inclusion and renewable energy adoption to sustainable development goal (SDG) achievement remain underexplored. This study investigates the roles of multidimensional financial inclusion

Perforation Enhances Sound Insulation in Plate Lattice Metamaterials

Small, EarlyView.
Herein, perforations are engineered into face‐centered cubic plate lattice metamaterials to convert normally detrimental openings into acoustically active features. Experiments, finite‐element analyses, and a reduced‐order transfer‐matrix model show that selected perforation geometries activate Helmholtz‐like and cavity‐mediated resonances, enhancing ...

A Survey Experiment on How Legal Status of Nicotine Products Influences Young Adults' Perceptions and Choices

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how sales bans influence young adults' perceptions and their interest in using combustible and non‐combustible nicotine products in Türkiye. Using a scenario‐based, between‐subjects experimental design, participants aged 18–30 were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: cigarettes or e‐cigarettes, framed as either

Cyanogenic Compounds, Physicochemical Parameters and Metals in Water From Cassava Processing Areas: A Study in the Brazilian Amazon, Using Multivariate Analysis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the water quality of artesian wells and effluents generated in cassava processing in a rural area of Bragança, Pará, with emphasis on physicochemical parameters, multielement composition, and cyanogenic compounds. The well water presented specific nonconformities, highlighting pH values below the recommended level and high

Microplastics and the Endocrine–Metabolic Interface: Novel Diagnostic Tools Targeting Thyroid–Adipose Axis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as major environmental contaminants that can affect organisms directly and act as carriers of particles and chemical additives, thereby aggravating endocrine networks that coordinate metabolic homeostasis.

Experimental Evidence for Mobilization of Mercury From the Eggshell by the Developing Embryo in an Avian Model Organism

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the many pollutants wildlife is exposed to, mercury ranks among the most toxic. In birds, mercury does not only accumulate within generations, but also is transferred across generations via maternal offloading in eggs, with higher mercury concentrations found in shells of unhatched eggs.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.
