Incentivising prosocial and pro-environmental behaviours is a sensitive endeavour. While behavioural change is urgently needed to mitigate the consequences of climate change, monetary interventions often have negative side effects. Such interventions are prone to motivation crowding, which can impede lasting positive behavioural change and stimulate negative temporal spillovers to other prosocial behaviours.

Article Synopsis
  • * Conducted on 65 CD patients, the findings showed that 32 exhibited the bright luminal sign, which demonstrated high sensitivity (90%) and specificity (85%) in identifying fibrotic strictures when compared with other imaging techniques.
  • * The results suggest that DWI hyperintensity could serve as a non-invasive indicator for detecting severe intestinal fibrosis, aiding in early diagnosis and potentially preventing complications. However, further research with larger

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most severe form of brain cancer in adults, characterized by its complex vascular network that contributes to resistance to conventional therapies. Thermal therapies, such as magnetic hyperthermia (MHT), emerge as promising alternatives, using heat to selectively target tumor cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. The organ-on-a-chip can replicate this complex vascular network of GBM, allowing for detailed investigations of heat dissipation in MHT, while computational simulations refine treatment parameters.

Article Synopsis
  • Mucus plugging in respiratory diseases like asthma and cystic fibrosis can block airways, causing serious breathing issues.
  • A study tested a combination treatment called BromAc on mucus plugs in a lung model using sheep to see its effectiveness.
  • Results showed that BromAc significantly reduced airway resistance and viscosity of mucus compared to saline, leading to better airflow and suggesting it worked better than individual treatments.

Article Synopsis
  • The Letter reports the most accurate measurement so far of the matter-antimatter imbalance during Pb-Pb collisions at a high energy level of 5.02 TeV.
  • It utilizes the Statistical Hadronization framework to determine precise values for the electric charge and baryon chemical potentials, μ_{Q} and μ_{B}.
  • The analysis of antiparticle-to-particle yield ratios shows that the collisions create a system that is generally baryon-free and electrically neutral at midrapidity.
