Exchange Rates and Sovereign Risk: A Nonlinear Approach Based on Local Gaussian Correlations

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We empirically assess the interlinkages between sovereign risk, measured in terms of CDS spreads, and exchange rates for a sample of emerging markets. Our period of analysis includes episodes of severe stress, such as the Global Financial Crisis, the COVID‐19 pandemic, and the Ukrainian War.

Experience of nurse-guided root cause analysis after a sentinel event: a qualitative study

BMC Nursing
Background Sentinel events, involving serious injury or death, reveal critical vulnerabilities in clinical practices. Nurses play a key role in identifying errors and contributing factors in such events.

Deep learning cone‐beam computed tomography image segmentation for the 3D visualization of mandibular infraosseous periodontal defects

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The accurate assessment of infraosseous periodontal defects is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment planning. Cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) enables detailed imaging of these defects; however, to leverage their full potential, CBCT images must be reconstructed in 3 dimensions (3D).

Precision Restoration to Minimize Soil Loss in a Watershed in the Atlantic Forest Domain

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Turvo River Watershed, located in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais and part of the Doce River Basin, faces serious problems of erosion and soil degradation, which compromise and reduce the quality of local water resources. Given this scenario, it is essential to implement environmental recovery strategies that prioritize the ...

High‐Efficiency Graphene‐Silicon Slot‐Waveguide Microring Modulator at 1.5 and 2 µm Wavelength Bands

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
E/O modulators typically face a trade‐off between bandwidth and modulation efficiency. An integrated E/O modulator is presented that simultaneously achieves wideband, large bandwidth, and high modulation efficiency operation by embedding a partially overlapped double‐layer graphene on a compact silicon slot‐waveguide microring resonator.

Perspectives in Pediatric Ambulatory Anesthesia: Part 3—One Center's Evolving Regional Anesthesia Experience and Outcomes

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pediatric ambulatory surgery is the dominant model of surgical care in the U.S. and has impacted the practice of regional anesthesia (RA). Pediatric RA's use has expanded as a supplement to general anesthesia with the introduction of ultrasound.

Indium‐Free Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells: Achieving High Conductivity With Magnetron‐Sputtered SnO2

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
Amorphous SnO2 films with low resistivity (~1.2 × 10−3 Ωcm) were realized by low‐temperature magnetron sputtering through control of O2 flow ratio, substrate temperature, and H incorporation. Si heterojunction solar cells incorporating these films achieved a conversion efficiency of 21.1%, approaching that of cells based on MS‐ITO and RPD‐SnO2 ...
