Bulbophyllum weddellii (Orchidaceae) demonstrates foliar water uptake plasticity along Brazilian campos rupestres

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phenotypic plasticity can facilitate species survival in a variety of conditions that are not possible with a fixed phenotype. Foliar water uptake (FWU), defined as the absorption of water through leaf surfaces, is an important mechanism contributing to plant water balance and drought tolerance in many species.

Convergence of Low‐Fertility Policies Beyond Policy Transfer: A Comparative Analysis of Korea and Hungary

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study compares policy responses to persistent low fertility in Korea and Hungary, two countries facing similar demographic pressures but embedded in distinct institutional settings. It asks whether the diffusion of pronatalist policies has produced convergence in the design, implementation, and effects of fertility policy in these cases ...

Caring for forests between attitude and platitude. Social relationships with nature in industrial forestry in Äänekoski, Finland

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Forests play a pivotal role in sustainability transitions. This article explores how people's relationships with forests, particularly how they care for or take care of them, shape and reflect broader tendencies and tensions in forest utilization and governance.

DUCK‐Net: automated deep learning segmentation of ductular reactions in murine liver injury captures multicellular niche dynamics from H&E morphology

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ductular reactions (DRs) are dynamic and complex multicellular responses that occur as a result of various hepatic injuries. Precise identification and quantification of the extent of DRs is a cornerstone of pre‐clinical modelling of liver disease, with links to inflammation, fibrosis, regeneration, and disease severity.

Interplay Between Dispersion, Nucleation, and Crystallization in HDPE/Graphene Nanocomposites Processed Under Thermokinetic Conditions

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Thermokinetic processing controls graphene fragmentation and dispersion in HDPE, promoting heterogeneous nucleation and multistep crystallization. The balance between nucleation enhancement and chain mobility restriction governs the final crystalline structure and material performance.

Innovations in polysaccharide‐based hydrogels in sustainable agriculture

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Polysaccharide‐based hydrogels are promising in sustainable agriculture, as these natural polymers have the ability to absorb water and nutrients and release them gradually in the soil, in addition to ensuring biodegradability and lower cost. However, some challenges still need to be overcome.

Leucaena Oil Functionalized With Osmium Tetroxide as a Precursor for Polyol‐Based Polyurethane

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Leucaena leucocephala seed oil is converted into a hydroxyl‐functional biopolyol through OsO4‐mediated dihydroxylation. The resulting biopolyol shows a hydroxyl number of 160–175 mg KOH g−1 and is successfully used to produce flexible, open‐cell polyurethane foams, highlighting a renewable route for converting underutilized biomass into value‐added ...

Challenges and limitations of introducing pigeonpea as a new crop into smallholder farming systems through farmer‐to‐farmer education in Zambia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Legume plants offer generous benefits for both the planet and people by supporting sustainable farming, food and feed systems through their ability to symbiotically fix atmospheric nitrogen. While grain legumes are cultivated and consumed globally, their adoption, market development, and integration into cropping systems vary.
