Surfactant effects on the synthesis of oxide nanoparticles using deep eutectic solvents

In this work we report the solvothermal synthesis of iron oxide and zinc oxide using a ternary eutectic mixture of choline chloride, urea and glycerol at three molar ratio of the components 1 : 1 : 1, 1 : 1.5 : 0.5 and 1 : 0.5 : 1.5. The synthesised iron oxide is nanocrystalline with a crystallite size of 67.5 ± 8.9 nm, however ZnO formed larger particles. Water and surfactants can be added to the

A systematic literature review of time-use effects from increased ICT adoption and its consequences for lifestyle climate implications

This systematic literature review assesses the current state of knowledge on how increased ICT use affects individual time-use patterns and the associated implications for lifestyle climate implications. While the environmental impacts of ICT have been widely debated in terms of direct energy consumption, there has been limited focus on the indirect time-use effects. The review draws on 101 articl

Gatekeepers under EU scrutiny: curtailing the freedom to conduct a business in digitalisation?

The EU’s recent regulatory approach in the digital sphere promises to introduce greater consideration for fundamental rights. However, this does not apply to all fundamental rights and their holders equally. With particular focus on the freedom to conduct a business, this article will be exploring the restrictions imposed on certain undertakings—so-called gatekeepers—operating in the Digital Singl

Rediscovering nitroxoline : a metal-chelating agent bridging infection and cancer

Nitroxoline, a legacy antimicrobial agent, is gaining attention for its potential repurposing in infectious diseases and oncology. Its broad-spectrum activity, including biofilm disruption and metal-chelating properties, supports diverse therapeutic applications. However, its systemic use is limited by rapid urinary excretion, short plasma half-life, and limited tissue distribution. In this review

Expansion and fluctuations-enhanced microscopy for nanoscale molecular profiling of cells and tissues

Advances in super-resolution microscopy enable the molecular profiling of cells and tissues at the nanoscale level, surpassing the diffraction limit of conventional light microscopy. However, super-resolution techniques typically require access to expensive specialized equipment and extensive training, limiting their broad applicability. Here we provide a detailed protocol for combining expansion

Nanoscale Characterization of Fungal-Induced CaCO3 Precipitation : Implications for Self-Healing Concrete

Cracks in concrete compromise structural integrity by exposing steel reinforcement to corrosion agents, shortening its service life. Fungal-induced calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation via urea hydrolysis offers a fast and robust self-healing mechanism to seal the cracks, extending the lifespan while reducing the carbon (C) footprint of concrete infrastructure. However, current studies rely on

Moving beyond Porter, Fanning, and Campbell : A Linguistically Informed Approach to the Tense System in the Greek of the New Testament

In this paper I summarise the findings presented in my recent PhD thesis in which I include some 80+ linguistic theories from Plato to Usage-based linguistics in order to enquire into the potential of linguistic theories in the study of aspect and tense in Ancient and particularly New Testament Greek. I discuss the challenge of working with several linguistic theories at the same time, the formati

Remote sensing-based biomass estimation of dry deciduous tropical forest using machine learning and ensemble analysis

Forests play a vital role in maintaining the global carbon balance. However, globally, forest ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change and deforestation in recent years. Monitoring forests, specifically forest biomass is essential for tracking changes in carbon stocks and the global carbon cycle. However, developing countries lack the capacity to actively monitor forest carbon stoc

Projecting the change in niche width of an oligo and mesohaline mangrove species from Indian Sundarban under climate change and different salinity regime

Species distribution models (SDM) have been used to estimate potential geographic distributions of hundreds of species and plant communities. Nonetheless, very few studies have been conducted which attempted to model the distributions of mangrove species in future under climate change scenarios and under different sea surface salinity at a local level. The present study used a machine learning bas

Affordances of Food in Restrictive Eating Disorders

Affordances are most often discussed in terms of which ones exist and when and how they are enacted. It is less common to discuss the active non-enaction of an affordance and what consequences or functions this has. In this article we tie phenomenology and Ecological Psychology together to create an account of what role not enacting the affordance of edibility (i.e. not eating) plays in the contex

Counter-productivity and suspicion : two arguments against talking about the AGI control problem

How do you control a superintelligent artificial being given the possibility that its goals or actions might conflict with human interests? Over the past few decades, this concern– the AGI control problem– has remained a central challenge for research in AI safety. This paper develops and defends two arguments that provide pro tanto support for the following policy for those who worry about the AG

International Relations, Silent Erasure, and the Cruelty of Caste

The article demonstrates how international relations (IR) as a discipline has failed to sufficiently attend to caste and casteism as matters of crucial significance for analyzing international, transnational, and global politics. Despite ongoing initiatives to make IR scholars knowledgeable about and attuned to how issues of race and racism directly impact many of the discipline’s core areas of re

Role of Amide Proton Transfer Weighted MRI in Predicting MGMTp Methylation Status, p53-Status, Ki-67 Index, IDH-Status, and ATRX Expression in WHO Grade 4 High Grade Glioma

Objectives: To assess amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) MR imaging capabilities in differentiating high-grade glial tumors across alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation X-linked (ATRX) expression, tumor-suppressor protein p53 expression (p53), O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase promoter (MGMTp) methylation, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) status, and proliferation marker Ki-67 (Ki-67 index)

Why Constitutional Monarchy Is the Best Path Forward for Iran

Constitutional monarchy offers Iran a politically stable and culturally resonant alternative to partisan republicanism. Grounded in both empirical research and philosophical tradition, it combines symbolic authority with institutional continuity, enabling national unity without authoritarianism. Monarchs function as neutral anchors above political conflict, often at lower public cost and with grea

T cell responses towards PINK1 and α-synuclein are elevated in prodromal Parkinson’s disease

A role of the immune system in Parkinson’s disease (PD) progression has long been suspected due to the increased frequency of activated glial cells and infiltrating T cells in the substantia nigra. It was previously reported that PD donors have increased T cell responses towards PINK1 and α-synuclein (α-syn), two Lewy body-associated proteins. Further, T cell reactivity towards α-syn was highest c
