Assessment of Microplastic Ingestion in Commercial Marine Fish From Cities of Sibu and Kuching, Eastern Sarawak, Malaysia

open access: yesEnvironmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution is an ever‐growing issue in the marine ecosystem around the world. However, the study on MP pollution in marine fish remains limited, particularly those conducted in Eastern Sarawak, Malaysia. Hence, this study investigated the occurrence of MP on the marine fish, collected from local fish market in the city of Sibu

Compatibility of personal care thickening polymers in sulphate‐free surfactants

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 685-699, August 2026.
Phase behaviour for alpha olefin sulfonate surfactant 10–15 wt% combined with 1 wt% sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, clearly indicating the sensitivity in miscibility when adding various levels of background salt. Abstract Objective Formulators today know that when traditional surfactants and polymers are replaced new problems occur. What was before a ‘

Friction and vibration generated during sliding over bare skin correlate with perceived smoothness and moistness

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 700-713, August 2026.
A tactile sensor with a probe replicating a fingerprint quantified skin texture by measuring vibration and friction. Regression analysis linked smoothness and moistness perceptions with high‐frequency vibration amplitude and friction. These findings support the objective assessment of skin texture, enhancing product evaluation consistency and bridging ...

Plantar Foot Microvascular Reactivity and Oxygenation in Type 2 Diabetes and Peripheral Artery Disease: An Exploratory Study

open access: yesMicrocirculation, Volume 33, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Microvascular dysfunction contributes to foot complications in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and peripheral artery disease (PAD), yet has been characterized primarily in non‐plantar regions. We evaluated microvascular reactivity and oxygenation at ulcer‐prone plantar sites and responses to combined heat therapy and intermittent pneumatic ...

Trade Liberalization and Labor Market Monopsony Power: Evidence From China

open access: yesReview of International Economics, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 632-657, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We study the effect of trade liberalization on firms' monopsony power in the labor market. We estimate firm‐specific markdowns from production data in the manufacturing industry and document the trends in China between 1998 and 2007. Taking China's entry to the WTO as a policy shock, we use a difference‐in‐differences (DiD) approach combined ...
