Impact of Geography on Institutions in Agricultural and Nomadic Societies

open access: yesInternational Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How geography affects the choice of institutions is studied in a theoretical model. In this model, nations are located around a circle. Rulers compete through choosing tax rates, the level of military spending, and the degree of formality of institutions. Geographic condition is captured by population density.

The Alignment Risks of AI Overconfidence about Consciousness

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many contemporary AI systems (as of May 2025) have expressed extreme confidence in current and near‐future AI lacking consciousness and moral patiency. This article argues that artificially reinforcing such confidence, even if pragmatically useful, poses a novel alignment risk: as coherence‐seeking AIs become more epistemically principled ...

Nanostructured lipid carriers and natural deep eutectic solvents: a highly advantageous combination for the encapsulation of curcumin

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Curcumin is a naturally derived polyphenol known for its potent biological properties. Its therapeutic potential, however, is hindered by low bioavailability. Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) have emerged as advanced delivery systems to overcome such limitations. Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) have garnered attention as

Pollen Morphology of Crucianella L. (Rubiaceae) Based on Light and Scanning Electron Microscope Data and Implications for Taxonomy

open access: yesMicroscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
This study provides the palynological analysis of 12 Crucianella L. taxa using LM and SEM. Variations in pollen size, aperture number, and exine ornamentation were identified as key traits, demonstrating their taxonomic value for distinguishing closely related species and subspecies within the genus. ABSTRACT Crucianella L.

Morpho‐Anatomical and HPTLC Investigations of Lysimachia nummularia L. (Primulaceae) Grown in Switzerland

open access: yesMicroscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
This research provides a complete morphoanatomical description of Lysimachia nummularia, as well as a HPTLC profile. Standard techniques of light and scanning electron microscopies, as well as standard techniques of HPTLC, were used. ABSTRACT Primulaceae are distributed all over the world, encompassing around 2590 species.

Sensitivity and Hamming Graphs

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For any m ≥ 3 $m\ge 3$ we show that the Hamming graph H ( n , m ) $H(n,m)$ admits an imbalanced partition into m $m$ sets, each inducing a subgraph of low maximum degree. This improves previous results by Tandya and by Potechin and Tsang, and disproves the Strong m $m$‐ary Sensitivity Conjecture of Asensio, García‐Marco, and Knauer.
