Participatory Democracy in India
Abstract: Participatory democracy in India represents an evolving democratic ethos where citizens play a direct and active role in the decision-making processes beyond periodic elections. Rooted in the principles of decentralization and inclusion, participatory democracy seeks to empower people at the grassroots level through mechanisms like Gram ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work reports the in situ fabrication of Escherichia coli@covalent organic frameworks (E. coli@COFs) in phosphate‐buffered saline. The COFs form an exoskeleton on E. coli, protecting intracellular β‐glucosidase (Ssbgl) while enhancing mass transfer.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A conductive ZrB2 ceramic composite strategy was developed for Mg3(Sb, Bi)2 thermoelectrics to regulate carrier transport and phonon scattering through heterointerface engineering. The 1.0 wt.% ZrB2 composite achieved enhanced room‐temperature performance, with a power factor of 28.51 µW cm−1 K−2 and a peak ZT of 1.22 at 573 K.

Handbook for Participatory Democracy
This handbook is the result of a collaboration between the University of Luxembourg and the City of Dudelange. It combines two ambitions: on the one hand, to draw on insights from academic research to inform participatory practice; and on the other, to ground these practices in the concrete realities of a Luxembourgish municipal administration.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A pneumatic energy‐buffering strategy transforms transient and intermittent footsteps into quasi‐continuous electrical energy for a self‐powered wearable biosensing platform. The footwear‐integrated air‐pumping harvester, combined with the rationally designed power‐management system, powers a wearable ankle PPG device with reduced motion artifacts ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.USP30 accumulation in diabetic renal tubular epithelial cells deubiquitinates PEX5, suppresses pexophagy, and drives dysfunctional peroxisome accumulation and tubular injury. USP30 depletion restores PEX5 ubiquitination and pexophagy, improves peroxisomal function, and alleviates tubular damage, highlighting USP30 as a therapeutic target in diabetic ...

IFI27 and BAX are Essential for GSDME‐Mediated Myeloma Cell Pyroptosis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The proposed model of GSDME‐mediated MM cell pyroptosis modulated by IFI27 and BAX. IFI27 is downregulated in MM cells. Upon pyroptotic stimulation, such as DOX or ETO treatment, IFI27 is induced, therefore liberating BAX from BCL‐2 ❶. BAX is then recruited to mitochondria and forms homo‐oligomeric channels in OMM, therefore leading to cytochrome C ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An ultrafast (2‐minute), gas‐free chemical pre‐sodiation strategy using Na‐benzophenone is developed to compensate for initial sodium loss in calcium vanadate (CaV8O20). Driven by the Ca2+ ‘spectator effect’, the framework enables highly reversible, quasi‐zero‐strain solid‐solution sodium storage, explicitly bypassing destructive conversion reactions ...
