However, despite their promising properties, only a handful of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide efficient pathways for both ion and electron transport. This work reports a proton-electron dual-conductive MOF based on tetrathiafulvalene(TTF)-phosphonate linkers and lanthanum ions.

- Trigona Jurine, a diverse group of stingless bees, is primarily found in the Neotropics, with the highest diversity in Brazil.
- Two new species have been identified: T. (Kt.) almeidae sp. nov. and T. (Ne.) rondoniensis sp. nov., bringing the total number of valid species in this genus to 37.
- A key for identifying Trigona species found in Brazil has also been included in the text.
Purpose: This study investigated the perceptions and experiences of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) regarding a home-based balance exercises program, focusing on its practicality and perceived effects for daily management and the factors influencing its implementation.
Materials And Methods: Employing a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 patients with MS in Switzerland (13 women, 5 men; mean age 53 ± 11 years). The study used purposive sampling to ensure diverse representations.
