Exploring the Role of Competitiveness in Sustainability Standards: Insights From an Animal Welfare Scheme Adopted by Supermarkets

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on supermarket‐related voluntary sustainability standards (VSSs) is divided on whether competition helps or hinders efforts to reduce negative social and environmental impacts. This paper examines how the standardization process shapes these outcomes.

Real‐world evaluation of capillary microsampling for drug monitoring of anti‐seizure medications

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Capillary microsampling offers a minimally invasive alternative to venipuncture for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of anti‐seizure medications (ASMs). We evaluated the feasibility and reliability of volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) and quantitative dried blood spot (qDBS) devices for ambulatory self‐collection and at ...

Differential Pathways of Distinct Organic Amendments in Ameliorating the Root Zone Environment of Saline-Alkali Farmland: A Case Study of Straw, Biochar, and Peat

Agriculture
Returning organic amendments to saline–alkali soils constitutes a key strategy for soil amelioration, as it enhances crop productivity by modulating the rhizosphere microenvironment. In this study, straw, biochar, and peat were selected as representative

Genetic epilepsies with myoclonic seizures: Mechanisms and syndromes

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic epilepsy with myoclonic seizures encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions, ranging from benign and self‐limiting forms to severe, progressive disorders. While their causes are diverse, a significant proportion stems from genetic abnormalities.

Lime–organic amendment interactions regulate lime dissolution and organic carbon mineralisation in acidic soils: Evidence from stable carbon isotope tracing

Geoderma
Interactions between lime and organic amendments strongly influence soil acidity neutralisation and carbon dynamics, but their mechanistic linkages remain poorly understood. This study assessed the individual and interaction effects of 13 C-enriched lime

Development of a Zebrafish Embryo‐Based Test System for Thyroid Hormone System Disruption: 3Rs in Ecotoxicological Research

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.
