Idiosyncratic Political Risk and Bad News Hoarding
Financial Review, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 659-685, May 2026.ABSTRACT Managers may respond to greater political risk by suppressing unfavorable news from outsiders to manage investors’ perceptions about firm risk and protect their careers. However, they may also avoid engaging in bad news hoarding activities because exposure to political risk increases firm visibility and attracts greater scrutiny. Using a novel

From Hemp Bast to Lyocell Fiber: Sustainable Process Optimization for Lyocell‐Grade Dissolving Pulp
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 16, April 20, 2026.This study presents a sustainable method to produce lyocell‐grade dissolving pulp from Canadian hemp bast fibers. A simplified alkali‐chelation‐bleaching process, free from sulfur and chlorine, yielded high α‐cellulose pulp with low lignin and hemicellulose content. The pulp was successfully spun into continuous hemp‐based lyocell fibers, demonstrating

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 19, 1 April 2026.An ion‐mediated structural engineering strategy enables versatile modulation of PVA–Alginate hydrogel microstructure. We systematically examine how different ion combinations affect hydrogel mechanical properties and analyte diffusivity. Applying this novel strategy to hydrogel as the outer membrane in an electrochemical glucose biosensor allows ...
