Medicine for the Material World
Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 434-439, June 2026.ABSTRACT It is clear that many of the inorganic materials of antiquity have been used both as medicines for human ills and also as agents in technological processes. This paper speculates that there might have been a stronger link between these two functions in the past, based on the concept of “active agents”—materials that are efficacious at curing ...

The Impact of Climate Risks on Corporate Debt Financing
European Financial Management, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 903-931, June 2026.ABSTRACT As global resource demands and climate pressures grow, companies face the dual challenge of sustainability and environmental responsibility. Using panel data from U.S. publicly listed firms (2014–2022) and a text‐based proxy for climate risks, this study explores the impact of just transition climate risks on corporate debt financing.

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 612-629, June 2026.ABSTRACT Shore‐based observers are increasingly being used in place of at‐sea observers to monitor and sample commercial fisheries catch. However, few evaluations assess whether these programs meet their stated goals or how to optimize them, and industry data are rarely tested for accuracy despite serving as the foundation for catch accounting. Using a

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 341-367, June 2026.Key Points We recommend using the notation δ122/118SnNIST SRM 3161a for mass‐dependent Sn isotope data. We derived conversion factors relative to NIST SRM 3161a for Puri Sn CEZA (0.132 ± 0.011‰), Sn Lyon (0.229 ± 0.016‰), Sn IPGP (0.162 ± 0.018‰). Tin isotope compositions are presented for SPEX CertiPrep Sn and nine USGS reference materials.
