Towards circular consumer behavior: Analysis of discount schemes on coffee cup use.
J Environ Manage
January 2025
Through a natural experiment setting in Hong Kong, this study examines the effects of financial incentives and nudges on consumer choices among three types of coffee cups: bring-your-own-cup (BYOC), shop-provided reusable cups, and disposable cups. Our dataset comprises 223 structured observations of coffee shops with 522 data points. The financial incentive-a direct price instrument set as a discount-is offered exclusively to customers who bring their own cups, while shop-provided (reusable) cups are not eligible.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the genetics of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), which is not widely researched and can impact the understanding of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
- Researchers conducted exome sequencing on 78 patients diagnosed with early-onset CAA, finding notable genetic variants, including pathogenic NOTCH3 mutations in two patients related to CADASIL, a rare vascular condition.
- The findings suggest that there are shared genetic factors between AD and CAA beyond just the APOE gene, with potential susceptibility linked to other rare genetic variants in various risk factor genes.
Circulating IL-17F, but not IL-17A, is elevated in severe COVID-19 and leads to an ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK-dependent increase in ICAM-1 cell surface expression and neutrophil adhesion on endothelial cells.

Background: Severe COVID-19 is associated with neutrophilic inflammation and immunothrombosis. Several members of the IL-17 cytokine family have been associated with neutrophilic inflammation and activation of the endothelium. Therefore, we investigated whether these cytokines were associated with COVID-19.

Specifically, we explored whether infants' exposure to interparental positivity may vicariously shape their neural substrates of social development.
Methods: In a sample of 45 infants ( = 11.
Article Synopsis
- Eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4B is crucial for effective cap-dependent translation, is commonly overexpressed in cancer cells, and may play a role in stress granule formation.
- Due to its high intrinsic disorder, eIF4B is often not seen in cryo-EM studies of translation complexes, with most observations limited to its structured RNA recognition motif domain.
- Research incorporating experiments and simulations reveals that eIF4B's intrinsically disordered region (IDR) helps transition from monomers to larger dynamic oligomers, influenced by factors like ionic strength and molecular crowding, hinting at potential regulatory mechanisms affecting its behavior in cells.
