Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

Drought affects Fe deficiency‐induced responses in a purple durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) genotype

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Combined Fe deficiency and drought in durum wheat trigger interactive responses: drought suppressed root Fe uptake regardless of Fe availability, and both stresses altered phytosiderophore release, ABA level and Fe transporter gene expression, revealing a trade‐off between water and Fe. Abstract Iron (Fe) is essential for plants and humans, with over 2

Time‐series multi‐omics analysis of micronutrient stress in Sorghum bicolor reveals iron and zinc crosstalk and regulatory network conservation

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Overlap between Fe and Zn responsive gene regulatory networks (GRNs) were found, indicative of micronutrient crosstalk, and conservation of root and leaf GRNs and genes suggests strong constraint on homeostasis networks in plants. Abstract Micronutrient stress impacts growth, biomass production, and grain yield in crops.

Tariff: The Most Beautiful Word in the Dictionary?

Review of International Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider the welfare impacts of US tariff policy at levels proposed by President Donald J. Trump. General‐equilibrium simulations under a widely used transparent one‐sector trade model reveal sizable US welfare losses. When we extend the model to include bilateral firm selection and high resolution input–output linkages, the US losses ...

Cognitive Testing Practices for Basic Military Training in the Nordic Countries: A Scoping Review

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Nordic countries have a long tradition of using general mental ability (GMA) tests as part of their military conscription process, a practice that began in the mid‐20th century. These Nordic tests were developed with a dual purpose—to filter out individuals unfit for military service and to rank individuals' GMA for military roles—and they

Integrating Global Citizenship Into Mathematics Education: Development and Validation of a Scenario‐Based Assessment

School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops and validates a scenario‐based assessment for global citizenship within mathematics contexts. It addresses the need for students to engage thoughtfully with global challenges by linking civic education and mathematics. The assessment tool captures competencies essential for global citizenship, including presenting opinions ...

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Rasch Analysis and Interval‐Level Scaling of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) Across Cultures

International Journal of Psychology, Volume 61, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Affective state investigation requires precise measurement that satisfies parametric statistical assumptions for reliable and valid cross‐data comparisons. The psychometric properties of the 20‐item Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) are satisfactory, but provide scores on an ordinal scale, which could be unsuitable for parametric ...
