Nature‐Positive Materials Engineering: Carbon Electrodes from Satoyama Biomass
The Chemical Record, EarlyView.Nature‐positive materials engineering can link satoyama forest stewardship with the design of carbon electrodes for batteries, supercapacitors, and electrocatalysis. By turning underused firewood and charcoal resources into functional carbons, this approach reduces mining footprints while supporting biodiversity, landscape resilience, and regional ...

Land and Water Pedagogy in TESOL: Centering Indigenous Knowledges
TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract The intersection of English Language Teaching (ELT), TESOL, and Indigenous knowledges is an important yet often neglected area of inquiry. This paper explores the importance of including Indigenous knowledges – specifically land and water pedagogies – in ELT, TESOL, and broader language education practices. Through duoethnographic inquiry, we –

The polysaccharide Pullulan improves the initial steps of allergen‐specific immunotherapy in dogs
Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background Allergen‐specific immunotherapy (AIT) is the only aetiological treatment for canine atopic dermatitis (CAD). Pullulan, a polysaccharide with immunomodulatory properties, may enhance AIT outcomes when combined with allergens such as recombinant Dermatophagoides farinae 2 (Der f 2).

Association of Japanese cedar pollinosis and sensitization with HLA-DPB1 in the Japanese adolescent
Allergology International, 2018 Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a heterogeneous disorder that significantly affects daily activity, work productivity, sleep, learning, and quality of life in all generations. Japanese cedar (JC) pollen is the most common allergen responsible for the development of AR in Japan.
