Laparoscopic Methylene Blue Photodynamic Therapy for Intraabdominal Infection: A Preclinical Feasibility Study in a Rabbit Model of Perforated Appendicitis

open access: yesLasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Perforated appendicitis commonly results in intra‐abdominal infection requiring prolonged antibiotic therapy. Intraoperative antimicrobial adjuncts are limited, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) may provide a targeted, resistance‐independent approach.

Effects of adjustable‐volume transfemoral prosthetic sockets on balance and falls: A randomized clinical trial

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Adjustable‐volume prosthetic sockets have been developed to allow users to accommodate volume fluctuations throughout the day. Improvement in socket fit is thought to enhance the connection between the user's residual limb and prosthesis and may therefore improve postural control and balance.

The 18G2A Steel (Construction Steel) Cyclic Behaviour in the Case of Complex Uniaxial Loading

open access: yesEngineering Transactions, 1995
This paper is concerned with the phenomenon of uniaxial cyclic material behaviour in the plastic range. A set of systematic strain and stress-controlled cyclic (tension-compression) experiments was conducted on round bar specimens made of 18G2A (heat ...

Electrochemical investigation of radical‐radical recognition in viologen‐based ditopic structures

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
The so‐called “blue box” is one of the most studied macrocycles. Yet, functionalized macrocycles of this type are rarely investigated. This work describes the radical‐radical recognition properties of ditopic structures, including functionalized blue‐box macrocycles.

Molecular Active Matter, Kinetic Asymmetry, and Non‐Reciprocal Interactions

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Nanoscale enzymes constitute dissipative active matter that converts scalar energy input into vectorial outputs. Through kinetic and diffusion asymmetry, they break time and space symmetry, resulting in directional motion. This mechanism accounts for both positive and negative chemotaxis, as well as non‐reciprocal interactions between enzymes that ...

The Feasibility of Household Food Waste Reduction in Finland: Insights From Five Consumer Profiles

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We apply a household production framework to analyse how changes in cooking skills, waste‐abatement costs and wage rates influence the food waste behaviour of five consumer profiles in Finland. We find that achieving a given reduction in food waste through skill‐enhancing interventions induces larger behavioural adjustments than equivalent ...

Does Inequality Blur Class Lines? Meritocratic Attitudes in Comparative Perspective

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scholars of inequality generally find that lower‐class individuals are more skeptical of meritocratic narratives that link economic success to individual work effort. However, past research has yielded inconclusive findings about how economic inequality affects meritocratic attitudes across different class groups.

How Due Diligence Transforms Private Sustainability Governance: The Case of the Global Organic Textile Standard

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Growing awareness of social and environmental risks in global supply chains has driven a shift from voluntary corporate responsibility toward mandatory due diligence legislation. These emerging regulatory frameworks require businesses to identify, prevent, and mitigate adverse human rights and environmental impacts, thereby redefining the ...

Climate Delegates' Views on the Dynamic Incentive Mechanism Under the Paris Agreement

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Paris Agreement establishes a bottom‐up global action plan with the aim of limiting global warming to well below 2°C above preindustrial levels, where countries should pledge Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of the highest possible ambition. The design of the agreement gives national authorities the freedom to decide on their own

When Accounting Qualities Collide: Accruals Quality, Comparability and Information Risk in SEO Underpricing

open access: yesAccounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how accounting quality attributes jointly mitigate underpricing associated with two dimensions of information risk in seasoned equity offerings (SEOs). In information environments with relatively more potent information asymmetry, the evidence suggests that accruals quality and accounting comparability act as substitutes; i.e ...
