A proposal for inquiry-based learning in accounting using study and research paths
Integrating inquiry-based learning into foundational accounting courses remains a challenge due to entrenched lecture-based practices. This study introduces Study and Research Paths (SRPs), a structured inquiry approach ...
Publication Delay and Article Citation: Evidence from Accounting
This study performs an empirical analysis on the relationship between article publication delay and its future citations. We use a sample from top accounting journals, employ multivariate regression analysis, and results ...
Dress to Impress the Planet: How Emotions, Environmental Concern and Personal Values Influence Sustainable Fashion Consumption
Negative externalities produced by the fashion industry have become more apparent in recent years. While some companies are engaging in more sustainable practices, a shift in consumer behavior toward more sustainable fashion ...
Microstructure and mechanical properties of TiN/CrN multilayer coatings deposited in an industrial-scale HiPIMS system
TiN/CrN multilayer coatings of varying bilayer period (Ʌ) were deposited in an industrial-scale deposition plant by means of reactive high power impulse magnetron sputtering. By alternately sputtering titanium and chromium ...
High-Quality In Vivo Chemical Probes for Protein Kinases Disclosed in 2024
Protein kinases are highly relevant drug targets, yet a significant fraction of the human kinome remains underexplored. Highly potent and selective small-molecule inhibitors used as chemical probes are invaluable tools for ...
miRNAs and exosomes in psoriasis: coordinating cytoskeleton dynamics and extracellular matrix remodeling
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes, immune dysregulation, and abnormal epidermal differentiation. Its pathogenesis involves complex interactions among ...
Nanocarriers for Combination Therapy in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: A Comprehensive Review
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the deadliest cancers worldwide, characterized by late diagnosis, aggressive progression, and poor response to conventional monotherapies. Combination therapies have ...
Revolutionizing rheumatoid arthritis therapy: the potential of lipid nanocarriers
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by synovitis, systemic inflammation and autoantibodies, leading to joint damage and disability. RA pathogenesis is characterized by a dysregulated ...
The Influence of Gender Discrimination and Gender Equality on Corporate Tax Aggressiveness
In this paper, we examine whether gender diversity on board audit committees promotes socially responsible corporate tax behavior by analyzing the influence of female directors on aggressive tax strategies. We explore this ...
Polar π stacking for metal-free near, remote, and ultra-remote C–H coupling with aryliodanes
We introduce a C–H coupling process in which an aromatic C–I position serves as trampoline for targeting various aromatic C–H positions. The reaction is set in motion by an interaction between the λ3-iodane ArI(OAc)2 and ...
Go for Gold: Development of a Scalable Synthesis of [1-(Ethoxycarbonyl)cyclopropyl] Triphenylphosphonium Tetrafluoroborate, a Key Reagent to Explore Covalent Monopolar Spindle 1 Inhibitors
Covalent approaches have resurged in drug discovery and chemical biology during the last decade. So-called targeted covalent inhibitors typically show a strong and persistent drug–target interaction as well as a high degree ...
Development of simplified poly(β-aminoester)-zwitterion nanovehicles for transfection of cancer cells and improved gene delivery across a cell-based model of the blood-brain barrier
Although nucleotide-based therapeutics hold promise for a variety of diseases, their clinical application is limited because of low stability and poor bioavailability. Among non-viral gene delivery vectors, poly(β-aminoester)s ...
From risk to action: how perceived risks and cultural dynamics drive surplus food purchases in China and Spain
Surplus food retailing reduces waste and supports food security; however, cultural differences critically shape consumer behaviors. Combining the theory of planned behavior and risk theory, this study compares the drivers ...
Eco-Friendly Mechanochemical Fabrication of Polypyrrole/Ag-ZnO Heterostructures for Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation of Methyl Orange
A Ppy/Ag-ZnO catalyst was successfully synthesized at room temperature using a novel, green methodology. It involves a mechanically assisted metathesis reaction. The Ppy/Ag-ZnO catalyst was analyzed via X-ray diffraction ...
An analysis of barriers faced by women tourism entrepreneurs in Barcelona: employing a feminist ethic of care
Barcelona is an internationally recognised tourism destination and the most alluring place in Spain for entrepreneurship; however, notably women are underrepresented in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. To give voice to ...
Determinants of early smartphone ownership: a research gap in the study of problematic smartphone use in children and adolescents
Over the past decade, a significant body of research has focused on problematic smartphone use and smartphone addiction among children and adolescents. Much of this research focuses on the negative consequences of smartphone ...
Setting the Sustainability Agenda: The Impact of Luxury Brands' SDG-Related Tweets on Consumer Engagement
This study examines luxury market brands' communications related to the sustainable development goals (SDGs) on the social media platform “X,” and their impact on online consumer engagement. Our longitudinal study analyses ...
From mold to mill: StachCel5, a novel thermoalkaliphilic endoglucanase from Stachybotrys chartarum for pulp fiber biorefining
StachCel5, a novel endo-β-1,4-glucanase from Stachybotrys chartarum IBT 7711, was identified through genome mining and exhibited 65 % sequence identity with known glycoside hydrolase family 5 (GH5) cellulases. The gene was ...
Are carbon dots cluster-triggered luminogens? How through-space interaction arrangement influence the optical properties of carbon dots
The use of non-conventional luminescent materials without conjugated chromophores, known as cluster-triggered emission materials (CLgens), has attracted considerable attention as an environmentally benign and biocompatible ...
Implementation of Education for Sustainable Development in Higher Education: Engineering Studies
This article aims to identify and analyze various models developed in Europe over the past 20 years for the immediate and effective implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in higher education, with a ...
