Subordination of related party claims in insolvency: A suggestive framework for Asian regimes

International Insolvency Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Related party loans, due to their inherent nature, warrant a higher threshold for scrutiny when compared to loans extended by unrelated parties. Why were these monies advanced as loans, carrying higher priority in insolvency, rather than being invested as share capital?

Key candidate genes for male sterility in peppers unveiled via transcriptomic and proteomic analyses

Frontiers in Plant Science
This study aimed to enhance the use of male sterility in pepper to select superior hybrid generations. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of fertile line 1933A and nucleic male sterility line 1933B of Capsicum annuum L. were performed to identify male

Gradual volatile memristor–based artificial neurons with high uniformity for neuromorphic computing

InfoScience, EarlyView.
Schematic of leaky integrate‐and‐fire artificial neurons for MNIST image classification. Abstract Artificial neurons are pivotal for neuromorphic hardware, but the development of compact and uniform devices remains challenging. Conventional volatile memristors suffer from abrupt switching, which hinders spatiotemporal consistency.

Reshaping Labor Intermediation: An Integrated Workforce Management Strategy to Contrast Agricultural Workers' Exploitation in Italy

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Labor exploitation within agri‐food supply chains poses significant ethical and managerial challenges, particularly in Mediterranean contexts where irregular employment practices persist. This study investigates the case of NoCap, a third‐party ethical certification initiative operating in Italy that integrates social responsibility into ...
