Early‐Life Polyethylene Microplastic Exposure Exacerbates ADHD‐Like Behaviors in Mice via PI3K/AKT1/Nrf2 Signaling: Evidence From the Pilot Cohort and Multi‐Omics Analyses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Circulating polyethylene microplastic burden is positively associated with heightened ADHD symptom severity and systemic redox‐inflammatory imbalance in children. Mechanistic investigation in a developmental co‐exposure mouse model further demonstrates that microplastics aggravate ADHD‐like behaviors, dopaminergic dysregulation, and oxidative ...

Patterns and Predictors of Dropout in Maternal Continuum of Care: A Comprehensive Analysis in Bangladesh

Abstract Dropout from essential maternal health services across pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period remains a major barrier to improving maternal and neonatal outcomes in Bangladesh. This study examined stage-specific dropout patterns along the maternal continuum of care and identified factors associated with discontinuation.

Constructing and Validating New County‐Level Cultural Capital Indices for Applied Policy Analysis: Evidence From SNAP Take‐Up

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cultural capital influences a wide range of social and economic outcomes, yet quantitative measures suitable for policy analysis remain limited. We develop county‐level cultural capital indices for the US based on Bourdieu's framework of objectified, embodied, and institutionalized cultural capital.

Heterogeneity of Farmer Preferences Towards Collective Agri‐Environmental Schemes: A Latent Class Analysis for Biodiversity Conservation in Switzerland

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collective agri‐environmental schemes offer a promising approach to improve biodiversity promotion in agriculture by providing landscape connectivity. However, how to design these schemes to foster participation in the presence of farmers' heterogeneous preferences and perceived transaction costs remains an open question.

Agronomic and Nutritional Perspectives on Vegetable Crops in Africa

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Vegetable production plays a key role in food security, nutrition, and livelihoods across Africa. Moreover, African indigenous vegetables emerge as underutilized yet highly valuable crops, rich in macro‐ and micronutrients, as well as bioactive compounds with an array of health benefits.

Workplace Harassment and Consideration of Leaving Surgical Practice: A Nationwide Survey by the Japanese Society of Gastroenterological Surgery

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this nationwide survey of 1967 members of the Japanese Society of Gastroenterological Surgery, 66% reported experiencing workplace harassment, and 56% of those affected had considered leaving surgical practice. These findings highlight the need for sustained, society‐wide efforts to prevent harassment and foster respectful and psychologically safe ...

A stress‐balance‐based critical Weber number for droplets and bubbles

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Predicting droplet and bubble breakup in turbulent flows is critical for optimizing multiphase flow processes such as emulsification and atomization. Traditional models based on a fixed critical Weber number (Wec$$ {We}_c $$) may not capture interfacial‐stress dominance in low‐viscosity fluids or viscous resistance in high‐viscosity droplets ...

Experimental and numerical study of liquid–liquid systems using the Euler–Lagrange/VOF approach

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Achieving stable liquid–liquid dispersions with controlled droplet size remains a challenge due to the complex interplay of dispersed phase viscosity, hydrodynamic conditions and interfacial interactions. This work presents a validated computational framework for droplet breakage and coalescence in liquid–liquid dispersions with variable ...

Fatigue‐Driven Adaptive Assistance for a Semi‐Active Upper‐Limb Occupational Exoskeleton

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Physical fatigue during a physical activity is estimated in real time to enable adaptive exoskeleton assistance. By continuously adjusting the level of support according to the user’s fatigue, this approach reduces physical demand and provides a pathway toward personalized exoskeleton assistance.
