The paper examines the dynamic spillover among traditional currencies and cryptocurrencies before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and investigates whether economic policy uncertainty (EPU) impacts this spillover. Based on the TVP-VAR approach, we find evidence of spillover effects among currencies, which increased widely during the pandemic. In addition, results suggest that almost all cryptocurrencies remain as "safe-haven" tools against market uncertainty during the COVID-19 period. Moreover, comparative analysis shows that the total connectedness for cryptocurrencies is lower than for traditional currencies during the crisis. Further analysis using quantile regression suggests that EPU exerts an impact on the total and the net spillovers with different degrees across currencies and this impact is affected by the health crisis. Our findings have important policy implications for policymakers, investors, and international traders.

Nature produces ATP, the energy currency, by converting solar energy (photophosphorylation) and chemical energy (substrate-level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation). Green electricity, as a significant and sustainable energy carrier, plays a crucial role in achieving a carbon-neutral society. In this work, we established and verified a novel electrodriven phosphorylation method.

Introduction: The General Surgery (GS) educational community of practice faces crisis. Recruitment is challenged by cultural norms of postponing post-foundation training; and retention with perceptions of elitism, discrimination and inflexibility (UK Shape of Training Steering Group, 2017; Kennedy, 2021) [1,45]. Surgical pedagogy has been examined through skill acquisition but what of the hidden curriculum (Brown et al.

Distributed ledger technologies have opened up a wealth of fine-grained transaction data from cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This allows research into problems like anomaly detection, anti-money laundering, pattern mining and activity clustering (where data from traditional currencies is rarely available). The formalism of temporal networks offers a natural way of representing this data and offers access to a wealth of metrics and models.

Article Synopsis
- Health professions curricula often evolve unpredictably due to factors like scientific advancements and changes in teaching staff, leading to 'curriculum creep'—a drift from the original educational goals.
- Review of existing curriculum models shows they tend to rely on professional norms instead of aligning closely with modern learning theories or employer expectations, risking inadequate preparation for graduates.
- Effective curriculum design should integrate content, delivery, and assessment, ensuring they are coherently aligned to produce competent healthcare professionals ready to meet community needs and maintain their skills throughout their careers.
Proteins occurring in significantly high concentrations in cellular environments (over 100 mg/ml) and functioning in crowded cytoplasm, often face the prodigious challenges of aggregation which are the pathological hallmark of aging and are critically responsible for a wide spectrum of rising human diseases. Here, we combine a joint-venture of complementary wet-lab experiment and molecular simulation to discern the potential ability of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as solubilizer of protein aggregates. We show that ATP prevents both condensation of aggregation-prone intrinsically disordered protein Aβ40 and promotes dissolution of preformed aggregates.
