Exploring the Effect of Institutional Trust on the Relationship between Environmental Consciousness and Household Recycling Behavior.

The present paper identifies environmental consciousness and institutional trust as determinants of French households' recycling behavior. Based on Schwartz's altruistic behavior model, the study considers environmental consciousness as a multidimensional construct that would bring a richer explanation of household recycling behavior concept. Therefore, it considers the cognitive, attitudinal and behavioral dimensions as key predictors to reflect individuals' perceptions towards recycling.

Exploring industrial lignocellulosic waste: Sources, types, and potential as high-value molecules.

Lignocellulosic biomass has a promising role in a circular bioeconomy and may be used to produce valuable molecules for green chemistry. Lignocellulosic biomass, such as food waste, agricultural waste, wood, paper or cardboard, corresponded to 15.7% of all waste produced in Europe in 2020, and has a high potential as a secondary raw material for industrial processes.

The epileptic blip syndrome.

We report on the case of an adolescent with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy exhibiting compulsory sporadic voluntary movement. These movements entailed the deliberate act of touching her forehead with her hand and were triggered by a short and indefinable cephalic sensation. Upon inquiry regarding the nature of this movement, the patient reported a sudden perception of a peculiar event localized "inside her head".

The role of artificial intelligence and fintech in promoting eco-friendly investments and non-greenwashing practices in the US market.

This study explores the intricate connections among financial technology (FinTech), artificial intelligence (AI), and eco-friendly markets in the US, shedding light on their dynamic interplay and implications for sustainable investment and policy strategies. Specifically, our research delves into the transformative roles of FinTech and AI in broadening financial access, fostering green financing initiatives, and aligning financial practices with environmentally conscious objectives. We also investigate market reactions among the AI, FinTech, non-greenwashing, and eco-friendly markets during exogenous shocks, offering valuable insights into these markets' interconnectedness.

Quantile connectedness between the climate policy and economic uncertainty: Evidence from the G7 countries.

In this study, we investigate the transmission mechanism between climate policy uncertainty (CPU) and economic policy uncertainty (EPU) in the G7 countries. To account for different conditions, we use a quantile-based VAR (Q-VAR) model over the period between 2000 and 2021. Our results show high connectedness between the CPU and the EPU of G7 countries, particularly at extreme quantile orders.

Financial development, resource richness, eco-innovation, and sustainable development: Does geopolitical risk matter?

Financial development and geopolitical risks can significantly affect sustainable development. However, the roles of these factors in sustainable development are rarely investigated. Thus, this study takes into account the role of geopolitical risk while exploring the effects of financial development, natural resource rents, and eco-innovation on sustainable development in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries.

Valorization of biomass polyphenols as potential tyrosinase inhibitors.

Tyrosinases (TYRs; EC 1.14.18.

The natural virome and pandemic potential: Disease X.

Over the last decade, the emergence of several zoonotic viruses has demonstrated that previously unknown or neglected pathogens have the potential to cause epidemics and therefore to pose a threat to global public health. Even more concerning are the estimated 1.7 million still-undiscovered viruses present in the natural environment or 'global virome', with many of these as-yet uncharacterized viruses predicted to be pathogenic for humans.

Artificial Interactionism: Avoiding Isolating Perception From Cognition in AI.

We discuss the influence upon the fields of robotics and AI of the manner one conceives the relationships between artificial agents' perception, cognition, and action. We shed some light upon a widespread paradigm we call the that addresses perception as isolated from cognition and action. By mobilizing the resources of philosophy (phenomenology and epistemology) and cognitive sciences, and by drawing on recent approaches in AI, we explore what it could mean for robotics and AI to take distance from the isolated perception paradigm.

Apoptosis in epididymis of sand rat Psammomys obesus, Cretzschmar, 1828: Effects of seasonal variations, castration and efferent duct ligation.

The aim of this study was to visualize apoptosis throughout the reproductive cycle and after castration, castration then treatment with testosterone, and ligation of efferent ducts. The sand rat, Psammomysobesus, Cretzschmar 1828, is a diurnal rodent belonging to the family Gerbillidae. Its breeding cycle is seasonal with reproduction in autumn, winter and early spring and a short resting period from late spring to early summer.

Immunodistribution of RFamide-related peptide-3 (RFRP-3) during the seminiferous epithelium cycle in a desert rodent Psammomys obesus.

The Sand rat, Psammomys obesus, living northwest of the Algerian Sahara, presents a seasonal reproductive cycle. The purposes of this study were firstly to determine the stages of seminiferous epithelium cycle (SEC) by histological and morphometric analysis and secondly to investigate, for the first time, the testicular expression of RFamide-related peptide-3 (RFRP-3) during the SEC by immunohistochemistry. The results showed that the SEC consists of 14 stages according to the tubular morphology method.

Hyperhomocysteinemia and myocardial remodeling in the sand rat, Psammomys obesus.

Objective: Numerous studies have shown that a methionine-rich diet induces hyperhomocysteinemia (Hhcy), a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The objective of the present study was to determine the involvement of Hhcy in cardiac remodeling in the sand rat Psammomys obesus.

Materials And Methods: An experimental Hhcy was induced, in the sand rat Psammomys obesus, by intraperitoneal injection of 300 mg/kg of body weight/day of methionine for 1 month.

Immunohistochemical Localization of Calpains in the Amphibian Xenopus laevis.

Though histochemical techniques have been used for decades, they are still very important in basic research. They make it possible to work on fixed tissues and provide a large amount of information in a relatively short time and at a low cost. Here we describe methods for indirect immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence on sections of tadpoles and tissues of adult amphibians belonging to the species Xenopus laevis.

Immunolocalization of RFamide-related peptide 3 in a desert rodent Gerbillus tarabuli during seminiferous epithelium cycle.

Gerbillus tarabuli is a nocturnal seasonal breeder desert rodent with a main breeding season in spring and summer, and sexual quiescence in winter. This species is an interesting model for studying testis function in rodents. Therefore, the present study was performed firstly to investigate the stages of seminiferous epithelium cycle of Gerbillus tarabuli with a histological, morphometric and statistical study.

Study of the hydromineral regulation of Typhlonectes compressicauda according to the seasonal variation.

Introduction: Typhlonectes compressicauda is a viviparous gymnophionan amphibian living in tropical areas of South America. This lengthened amphibian is submitted to seasonal variations characterized by the rainy season (from January to June) and the dry season (from July to December). The mineral homeostasis in amphibians is partly ensured by the neurohormones arginine-vasotocin (AVT), and mesotocin (MST).

Patterns of Apoptosis and Proliferation throughout the Biennial Reproductive Cycle of Viviparous Female Typhlonectes compressicauda (Amphibia, Gymnophiona).

is an aquatic gymnophionan amphibian living in South America. Its breeding cycle is linked to seasons, characterized by a regular alternation of rainy and dry seasons. During a complex biennial cycle, the female genital tract undergoes a series of alternations of increasing and decreasing, governed by equilibrium of proliferation and apoptotic phenomena.
