Global Delivery of Foetal Sequencing: Do We Need Some Standardisation?
ABSTRACT Objective The development of sequencing technologies has resulted in rapid expansion in the testing available for foetuses with structural anomalies to diagnose monogenic disorders. To understand the variability in how foetal sequencing services are delivered, we developed a survey that focussed on the scope of testing, any parallel testing ...

Superimposed Sacrificial Texturing to Enhance the Optical Performance in Thin‐Film Solar Cells
Sacrificial texturing method using controlled etching of undoped zinc oxide and indium‐doped tin oxide generates microscale and nanoscale textures on glass. Roughness on two different scales is superimposed to create a new texture capable of broad‐spectrum scattering, which is utilised in thin‐film silicon solar cells to enhance optical performance ...

Cationic‐Hydrophilic Di‐Block Copolymers: Surface‐Shielded Vectors for Gene Delivery
This study develops synthetic polycationic di‐block carriers for nucleic acid (NA) delivery in gene therapy. Consisting of a cationic block and a hydrophilic block, these carriers efficiently form complexes with NAs and shield them with a protective bioinert layer, enhancing stability during circulation in the bloodstream while reducing undesirable ...

Prisoners' Perceptions and Their Agency on Sustainability Transformation in Finland
ABSTRACT Sustainability transformation is essential for our time, requiring the involvement of all citizens. Several prisons worldwide have developed various sustainable development (SD) programs for prisoners. However, it remains unclear how prisoners perceive SD, which can be a significant obstacle to their agency. This study explores the perceptions

Aspirations and Apprehensions: Reconciling Youths' Desires and Concerns for a Sustainable Future
ABSTRACT Although youth are widely acknowledged as change agents, their full participation is often limited by immediate concerns. This study examines how young people's aspirations shape their engagement with sustainability amid economic, environmental, and social uncertainties. Drawing on a large‐scale international survey (n: 15,076) and multinomial
