The Role of Obesity in the Association Between Alcohol Consumption and HDL‐c Levels: Baependi Heart Study

open access: yesLipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of global mortality, with dyslipidemia playing a central role in their pathogenesis. The influence of alcohol consumption on lipid profiles, particularly high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐c), in relation to obesity status remains insufficiently explored.

Geography of race and income shape spatial data gaps in two national participatory science projects

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Context and Need: Participatory projects where people contribute geo‐referenced biodiversity data, like eBird and iNaturalist, are commonly used tools to enhance the data collection capacity for research, management, and environmental learning. Despite their utility, demographic disparities in participation, demographic patterns of residential

Do Single‐Sex STEM Programs Have Merit? If So, for Whom, on What Measures?

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Single‐sex STEM programs—defined here as voluntary, gender‐segregated extracurricular or supplemental activities (e.g., summer camps, workshops, robotics clubs, internships, or citizen science initiatives)—have experienced heightened popularity and scrutiny amid efforts to increase diversity in STEM fields.

Who Does Bogotá “Care” for? Care Blocks, Care Workers and the Sustainable Development Goals

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper critically examines Bogotá's District Care System within the framework of urban social sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Focusing on the Care Blocks (Manzanas del Cuidado), it employs a mixed‐methods approach—legal analysis, interviews, testimonies, surveys, and InfoCuidado data—to explore the paradox of a

Greenway development and gentrification

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents research on expanding access to green spaces in developed areas. Critics claim greenway projects lead to gentrification by increasing the demand for housing and pushing out residents in nearby neighborhoods. We look for evidence of this phenomenon using a sorting model and panel data on aggregate populations in Atlanta ...

Fixing the Leaky Pipeline: Affirmative Action in Local Elite Colleges and Subject Choice

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Women are largely underrepresented in STEM careers associated with higher labor market returns. This gender gap is even more stark in a context where societal biases are prevalent and female role models are lacking. This paper investigates the impact of an affirmative action (AA) policy implemented in an elite educational institution in India ...

Computational Fluid Dynamic‐Discrete Element Method Study of Biocarbon Injection in Electric Arc Furnaces Using Shrouding Jet Injectors

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
This study uses coupled computational fluid dynamic‐discrete element method (CFD–DEM) simulations to investigate biomass particle injection through a shrouded lance in electric arc furnaces (EAFs). It examines how biomass properties, feed rate, and lance design affect particle dispersion and delivery efficiency.

Oxide Scale Morphology of Carbon Steels Under Novel Reheating Conditions

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
This study focuses on the changes in oxide scale morphology formed under simulated hydrogen and oxy‐fuel reheating gas atmospheres in comparison to natural gas‐air reheating. Several different properties were analyzed, such as pore structure, ratios of iron oxides, adhesion, and distribution of alloying elements.
