Does the Threat of Killing Gays Deter Foreign Aid: The Case of Uganda's 2014 Anti‐Homosexuality Act

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Much attention has been drawn on Uganda in recent years due to the strengthening of its anti‐LGBTQ legislation and rhetoric. Our study explores the aid‐deterring effect of anti‐LGBTQ legislation in an experimental setting using the Synthetic Control Method.

Emergence of Continents Stabilized the Bioavailability of Boron

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Boron is an essential element for the development of life on Earth; borates stabilize ribose in prebiotic reactions and facilitate metabolism in higher plants. There is, however, a relatively narrow surface boron concentration range over which borates stabilize and serve as a micronutrient rather than a toxin.

Gas Chromatography‐Mass Spectrometry‐Based Phytochemical Profiling and Bioactivity‐Guided Fractionation of Psidium guineense Stem Extracts: In Vitro and In Silico Insights Into Antioxidant, Antidiabetic and Antibacterial Potentials

Analytical Science Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Psidium guineense (Myrtaceae) is traditionally used for various medicinal purposes, although its stem remains underexplored. This study provides the first integrated phytochemical, pharmacological and computational evaluation of the stem extracts to elucidate their antioxidant, antidiabetic and antibacterial potential.

Do Female Directors Promote Science‐Based Emission‐Reduction Targets?

Business and Society Review, Volume 131, Issue 2, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of board gender diversity on the voluntary recognition of science‐based emission‐reduction targets (SBT) as a major tool of substantive corporate climate management. SBT refers to the aim of the Paris Climate Agreement to decrease global warming to below 2.0°C and preferably to 1.5°C.

Integrative Insights Into Bioactive Peptides in Milk Fermented With Autochthonous and Commercial Cultures Using High‐Throughput Peptidomics and Machine Learning

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This article highlights the crucial role of starter culture selection in shaping the peptide profile of fermented dairy drinks. Using high‐throughput peptidome profiling, the study demonstrates that different starter cultures yield distinct quantities and types of bioactive peptides, with excessive microbial combinations potentially reducing peptide ...
