Summary: This article explores how independent legal experts influence the design of international institutions. It argues that the divergence of preferences between states and legal actors, combined with the information asymmetry, allows legal actors to strategically select and justify design choices that maximize their own preferences. The study examines two cases of delegated institutional design and provides evidence to support the theoretical expectations.

Summary: Three decades of research in molecular nanomagnets have led to significant progress in magnetic memory. By choosing the right magnetic ion and coordination environment, researchers have achieved magnetic memory at liquid nitrogen temperature. Through data collection and statistical analysis, the study reveals the correlation between the Arrhenius energy barrier and magnetic memory, providing insights for chemically driven design to reduce relaxation rates.

Summary: This study introduces a simple method called Motion Envelopes (ME) to estimate missing longitudinal rotations of minimal stick figures, validated through analysis of gait patterns of 6 healthy subjects. The results show a strong correlation between experimental and estimated data for lower limbs and upper arms, indicating the potential of ME to complement kinematic information of stick figures when incomplete.

Summary: This article discusses the impact of Alzheimer's disease on public health, including its prevalence and incidence, mortality and morbidity, care usage and costs, and the effects on family caregivers, the dementia workforce, and society. It highlights the patient journey and potential treatment options for Alzheimer's disease. Currently, there are 6.7 million older Americans living with Alzheimer's dementia, a number that could increase to 13.8 million by 2060 without medical breakthroughs. Alzheimer's is the sixth-leading cause of death in the US, with deaths increasing by over 145% between 2000 and 2019. There is a decline in the number of caregivers and an increase in care provided by each remaining caregiver. The costs of unpaid caregiving in 2022 reached $339.5 billion, impacting caregivers' mental and physical health. Additionally, there is a shortage of healthcare workers in dementia care, and Medicare and Medicaid payments are significantly higher for individuals with dementia. The article also explores the need for sufficient physician specialists in Alzheimer's care, considering the availability of drugs that change the underlying biology of the disease.
