A First-Principles Thermodynamic Model for the Ba-Zr-S System in Equilibrium with Sulfur Vapor.

The chalcogenide perovskite BaZrS has strong visible light absorption and high chemical stability, is nontoxic, and is made from earth-abundant elements. As such, it is a promising candidate material for application in optoelectronic technologies. However, the synthesis of BaZrS thin-films for characterization and device integration remains a challenge.

Pollution affects even oceanic marine protected areas in Southwestern Atlantic.

Reefs are facing a global decline with sewage pollution emerging as a significant and poorly understood threat. Inadequate wastewater management and disorderly urbanization contribute to water pollution globally. Tropical Southwestern Atlantic comprises a set of oceanic Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) including the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago in Brazil, which has experienced significant population growth without expanding the sewage infrastructure.

Technology-facilitated sexual violence among Italian youths: validation of the technology-facilitated sexual violence victimization scale.

Introduction: Technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV), i.e. the use of digital communication technologies for facilitating sexual violence and harassment, represents a concern due to its exponential growth, particularly among youths.

Association between liver steatosis, fibrosis, and the onset of type 2 diabetes in overweight individuals: A fibroscan-based study in Southern Italy.

Objective: This study aims to explore the association between liver steatosis and fibrosis, as assessed by Fibroscan, and the onset of type 2 diabetes in overweight, medication-free men and women.

Methods: We analyzed data from 164 participants with overweight or obesity (41.4 % male), including 39 individuals (23.
