Summary: Although procrastination is often seen as counterproductive, moderate procrastination can actually foster creativity when employees have intrinsic motivation and opportunity to generate new ideas. This curvilinear effect was found in experiments conducted in the United States and constructively replicated in a field study with Korean employees, showing a positive relationship between moderate procrastination and creativity. This has implications for time management, creativity, and motivation in organizations.

Summary: Colorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer in men and women, and the second cause of cancer death in men and third cause in women. A study found that almost half of asymptomatic patients in a private center had polyps, with 39% being adenomas and 5.4% being colorectal cancer. The study suggests starting screening colonoscopy at the age of 45, and poor bowel preparation significantly impacts the adenoma detection rate.

Summary: This study suggests that highly sceptical consumers can overcome their resistance to advertising by increasing advertising credibility. Two-sided messages are more effective in increasing purchase intentions for the more sceptical consumers, enhancing credibility. Less sceptical consumers, on the other hand, trust both messages equally and their purchase intentions are not affected by the type of message.

Summary: This study developed an integrated sensor patch (ISP) that can sense both strain and pressure, and is insensitive to off-axis deformations. The patch has independent tensile strain and out-of-plane pressure sensing capabilities, making it suitable for applications in human-machine interfaces and virtual reality.

Summary: This study investigates multiple pathways of non-indigenous species (NIS) introduction during industrial development on a remote Australian island. By categorizing 15 introduction pathways based on importing locality and cargo type, it highlights the need for a systems approach to complement traditional biosecurity surveillance measures and minimize biosecurity incursions.

Summary: We find that corporate socio-political activism has a positive impact on investors, especially when there is intense societal discourse on the issue. Furthermore, companies engaging in more radical forms of activism receive more favorable investor reaction. Investors perceive that companies championing specific socio-political issues for broader societal change will be rewarded by stakeholders.

Summary: Vanadium dioxide (VO2) exhibits an insulator to metal transition at 68 degrees C, displaying significant changes in multiple physical properties. By precise strain engineering, the transition temperature can be reduced. A noncontact, all-optical platform is demonstrated to study macroscopic dynamics related to localized structural rearrangements. Multiple stable frequencies of the resonator can be activated at different optical powers and wavelengths, showing potential applications in ultrafast optical switching and intelligent temperature sensors.

Summary: This paper presents a paper-based sensor using ultrathin palladium nanowires for room-temperature hydrogen detection. The polycrystalline PdNWs showed a response of 4.3% and the quasi-single-crystalline PdNWs showed a response of 8% to 1 vol% H2. The sensor demonstrates excellent selectivity, stability, and sensitivity, and has the potential to be a low-cost alternative to current H2-sensing solutions.

Summary: Molecular-level spectroscopy is essential for sensing and imaging applications, but the detection and quantification of minuscule quantities of chemicals are challenging, particularly when they adsorb in low numbers. In this study, a photothermal spectroscopic technique utilizing a microfabricated nanoscale thermocouple junction integrated into a microcantilever was introduced for high selectivity sensing of adsorbates with an attogram detection limit. The temperature variation driving the thermoelectric junction is caused by the nonradiative decay of molecular adsorbates' vibrational states on the tip. The detection of photothermal spectra of physisorbed trinitrotoluene (TNT) and dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) molecules, as well as representative polymers, with an estimated mass of 10^(-18) g was demonstrated.
