Abstract Ulva reticulata is a marine macroalga recognized for its substantial nutritional value and bioaccumulation potential, making it as both a functional food and a sensitive bioindicator for marine monitoring. However, its capacity to sequester trace elements raises critical concerns regarding dietary safety. This study aims to characterize the multi-elemental profile of fourteen Ulva reticulata samples collected from...

Abstract Socially responsible human resource management (SRHRM) is a critical component of an organization’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy. It focuses on promoting sustainability goals and creating a positive social environment for employees to observe, learn, and internalize the organization’s ethical values. Drawing on social learning theory, we conducted two separate field studies to investigate...

Abstract Background and aims. Liver mechanical properties’ (stiffness/viscoelasticity) evaluation is relevant for diagnosing/monitoring liver fibrosis. Due to limitations of the commonly used elastography, we propose the use of rheology and Low Field-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (LF-NMR). Methods. In 30 liver samples from patients undergoing bariatric surgery and 18 control samples, we evaluated the shear modulus G/critical stress τc (elastic...

Abstract Purpose To determine the impact of low versus atmospheric oxygen tension during only the pre-maturation phase of biphasic capacitation in vitro maturation. Methods The study involved sibling oocytes (532 cumulus-oocyte complexes [COCs] from 20 participants [mean age 29.5 ± 2.5 years]) with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing CAPA-IVM without gonadotrophins. After oocyte pick-up (OPU), COCs were randomized...

Abstract Kombucha is a traditional fermented tea rich in organic acids and shows potential as a carbon source for Shewanella species to generate electricity in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). This research investigated the applicability of kombucha post-fermentation medium as a substrate to support the growth of Shewanella putrefaciens and electricity generation in recirculating MFCs. A preliminary growth study showed...

Abstract This study investigates the key social, psychological, and technological factors influencing social commerce adoption among Gen Z university students in Vietnam. It examines how social support constructs, trust, and technophilia contribute to forming social commerce intention and translating it into actual usage behavior. Guided by the Stimulus-Organism-Response model and the Theory of Planned Behavior,...

Abstract GaOOH/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites are investigated for UVC photodetection with a defect-controlled photoresponse. The morphology and crystallinity of GaOOH grown on rGO are strongly influenced by the Ga(NO3)3 concentration. Excess precursor induces GaOOH aggregation, reducing the effective GaOOH/rGO interfacial area and generating trap states in GaOOH. These traps act as recombination centers that shorten...

Abstract The development of sustainable catalytic systems for biomass valorization is of great importance in the transition toward renewable energy and green chemical processes. In this study, a noble-metal-free Bi2O3-Cr2O3 catalyst supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNT) was developed for the aerobic conversion of carbohydrates into 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) using molecular oxygen as the oxidant. The catalytic...
