Summary: Hydrofluoric acid is a corrosive chemical compound commonly used in household and industrial products. Dermal exposure to hydrofluoric acid can have fatal complications, making prompt recognition and treatment crucial. This case review emphasizes the effective treatment of dermal burns with topical calcium gluconate gel, while also highlighting the challenges faced in the emergency department in recognizing and appropriately treating such burns.

Summary: The study compared two morphologically similar kelp species, Laminaria digitata and Hedophyllum nigripes, in the Arctic region. While L. digitata showed affinities to cold-temperate environments, H. nigripes exhibited greater cold adaptation and higher carbon:nitrogen ratios, suggesting adaptation to nutrient-poor Arctic conditions. The data imply that future increase in seawater temperatures may hinder the success of H. nigripes but favor L. digitata in Arctic environments.

Summary: Polyamide 4.6 (PA46), a high-heat-resistant polymer, shows flaming drops under fire, whereas flame-retarded PA46 prevents droplet formation. Friction-modified PA46 exhibits increased flaming dripping. Simulation results of the dripping behavior correspond with experimental findings in terms of time and droplet size.

Summary: As robots and artificially intelligent systems become more prevalent in society, people are more likely to reward physically embodied intelligent agents. Additionally, people are more averse to punishing intelligent agents, regardless of their embodiment.

Summary: The question of whether single cells can learn sparked debate in the early 20th century, with recent developments suggesting that their learning abilities may be more widespread and fundamental than previously thought. Beatrice Gelber's experiments on Pavlovian conditioning in Paramecium aurelia may challenge the prevailing belief that single cells cannot learn, shedding light on different aspects of biology.

Summary: This experiment evaluated a new outreach model to support legislative use of research evidence with the US Congress. The findings showed that the intervention group valued research more and used more research in legislation compared to the control group. Researchers in the intervention group also improved their policy knowledge and engagement as well as reported benefits for their research.

Summary: This article presents important efforts made to explore the flora of the Orinoquia region in Colombia and Venezuela, resulting in the discovery of several new plant species. The author reinterprets the identity of one species and proposes a second step lectotypification for another species. The content of this contribution highlights the significance of specimen exchange between megadiverse countries and the crucial role of taxon experts in peer review of papers describing new species.

Summary: Graph-based parameter assignment is the basis for developing transferable force fields for molecular dynamics simulations. The specificity of force-field terms and the procedures for generating parametrization data vary in different transferable force fields. This study compares the tradeoffs between force-field specificity and accuracy by parametrizing three sets of force fields with varying levels of graph specificity.

Summary: The article investigates the long-term fiscal sustainability in Poland through two hypotheses, focusing on the inability to generate primary surpluses and the issue of growing public debt volumes hindering past and future fiscal sustainability. The analysis is based on observations from 1999-2017 and forecasts for 2018-2028, utilizing two methods derived from the intertemporal budget constraint concept: primary gap indicator and Ponzi scheme estimations.

Summary: Although behavioral interventions are designed to seize attention, they may have costly consequences. A study on a safety campaign reveals that displaying traffic fatality counts during the campaign weeks leads to an increase in crashes statewide, with no sustained effects beyond the campaign weeks. This suggests that behavioral interventions, particularly negatively framed ones, can be too salient and can backfire with important considerations being crowded out.

Summary: This paper utilizes a predictive model to estimate the probabilities of future extreme returns and identifies the significant influence of crash and jackpot probabilities in the Chinese stock market. Portfolios based on extreme return probabilities can offer profitable and stable foundations for uninformed investors in the Chinese stock market.

Summary: The study examines the activity of the BMF and CNF faults, observing seismic activity at the southern end of Lake Malawi and revealing that the entire crust is seismogenic. The results support the view that the entire crust is capable of producing earthquakes, refuting the notion that seismic activity is limited to the surface or shallow crust.

Summary: This study examines the impact of financial literacy on the usage of financial advisors in China, using data from the 2019 China Household Finance Survey and a probit with sample selection model. The results show that higher financial literacy levels have a positive effect on both the demand for and employment of financial advisors, particularly among younger or middle-aged individuals with debt and awareness of financial threshold changes. The research also highlights that financial literacy enhances information attention and comprehension of risky financial products, leading to increased demand for and employment of financial advisors.

Summary: The authors propose a data-driven framework to identify ligand-receptor pairs promoting astrogenesis and validate their effects in human cortical organoids and fetal progenitor cells. They used transcriptomic data to identify and functionally test five ligand-receptor pairs that synergistically drive human astrogenesis. Their study confirms that these ligands act cooperatively and converge on the mTORC1 signaling pathway, leading to transcriptomic and morphological changes in astrocyte development.
