Fundamentals, Advances, and Applications of Electrospun Nanofibrous 3D Materials

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 43, November 15, 2026.
Three‐dimensional electrospun nanofibrous systems offer unique properties and microenvironments. These properties are determined by the fabrication strategies employed and can be adjusted by the incorporation of functional additives to achieve multifunctionality for specific applications. The applications range from the biomedical to the environmental,

Deepening the real options debate: Real options as dynamic optimization

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, Volume 47, Issue 11, Page 2823-2870, November 2026.
Abstract Research Summary Is real option theory useful for management research? This topic was hotly debated two decades ago. Real options were said to be inapplicable to management research and to lack conceptual distinctiveness. Whereas responses to the claim about the non‐distinctiveness of real options were disparate, the concern about the theory's

Early Outer Hair Cell Dysfunction Associated With Educational Noise Exposure in Dental Students: Implications for Hearing Conservation in Dental Education

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Dental Education, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 1869-1879, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Dental education involves continuous exposure to high‐frequency noise from clinical instruments, which may cause early outer hair cell damage even before professional practice begins. While noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a recognised occupational hazard among dentists, evidence regarding subclinical outer hair cell changes ...
