Circular economy business strategies and public schemes: a game theory‐based survey

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 2827-2869, September 2026.
Abstract This paper develops a selected survey based on game theory in circular economy (CE) by complementing two perspectives: the CE business strategies and the public schemes (PS) available to implement CE systems. These perspectives are concentrated in six CE business strategies (circular inputs, sharing platforms, product‐as‐a‐service (PaaS ...

Improved subjective sleep quality in older adults by enhancing the GABAergic system in the sensorimotor cortex

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 15, Page 6506-6546, 1 August 2026.
Abstract figure legend Sleep disturbances are common in older adults, highlighting the need for accessible interventions to improve sleep quality. Eighteen older adults per group (balance training and control) were assessed before and after 12 weeks. The balance group increased GABA levels (magnetic resonance spectroscopy) and functional connectivity ...
