Summary: The development of affordable and low carbon biobased manufacturing relies on strategies that reduce costs and emissions. This paper highlights the importance of minimizing operational expenditures in sustainable bio-economic development, and discusses the financial and climatic impacts of intensified and non-intensified biobased processes.

Summary: The study shows that the transfer of education benefits under the GI Bill significantly affects service members. Sending a one-time email can have a significant impact when the transfer of benefits is clear, but has no effect on individuals with ambiguity. This work contributes to research on conditions where low-touch interventions at scale may be effective.

Summary: Poorly soluble drugs make up a significant portion of the pharmaceutical market, with microarray patches (MAPs) showing potential as a strategy for delivering such drugs through the skin. The future of MAPs looks promising in terms of providing a convenient and effective therapeutic alternative for patients.

Summary: This paper investigates the distribution of satellite eavesdroppers in satellite communication systems and their impact on system security. Different types of antennas are used for directional beamforming, and the analysis results in the secrecy capacity and performance of the system. The research findings contribute to the evaluation of system security and the design of secure satellite constellations.

Summary: Research demonstrates how values shape organizational purposes and forms, with sacred stories playing a significant role in values work by transforming it into a two-way learning dialectic. Sacred stories are not unchangeable core beliefs, but rather gain vitality through ongoing moral inquiry.

Summary: Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are key components of modern networks, and this paper explores optimizing Service Function Chains (SFC) using a make-before-break mechanism, reducing operational costs and improving acceptance rates without interrupting flows. The proposed method scales well with network size and considers chaining requirements, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving network efficiency.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of mild sleep deprivation on physical activity and sedentary behavior in children. The results showed that children gained approximately 49 minutes of awake time when their sleep was restricted, and this time was mostly spent on sedentary behavior (28 minutes) and physical activity (22 minutes). Overall, the composition of movement behavior remained similar across both sleep conditions. These findings suggest that decreased physical activity may not be the main factor explaining the association between short sleep duration and obesity in children.

Summary: This research investigates how potential co-founders' perceptions of a founder's obsessive passion (OP) influence their decision to join a venture team. The results from a conjoint experiment with a sample of 116 founder-entrepreneurs, further validated with an additional sample of 59 founder entrepreneurs, reveal that potential co-founders are more likely to join if they perceive that the founder has obsessive passion for developing ventures, while they are less likely to join if they perceive obsessive passion for founding ventures. Furthermore, significant interactions are found between perceived obsessive passions as well as between perceived obsessive passion and potential co-founders' own obsessive passion.

Summary: With the increasing use of advanced communication technologies, open office work design, and collaborative approach in modern workplaces, workplace intrusions have become widespread. This study examines the impact of workplace intrusions on job apathy, with perceived opportunity to craft (POC) and psychological vulnerability as boundary conditions. Using data from 350 academics in a federal university in Nigeria, the results support the proposed model and reveal that workplace intrusions and psychological vulnerability are positively associated with job apathy, while POC has a negative relationship with it. The relationship between workplace intrusions and job apathy is moderated by POC and psychological vulnerability, with POC buffering the relationship and psychological vulnerability intensifying it. Understanding the effects of workplace intrusions can help HR practitioners, management, and individual academics in designing jobs that promote employee work motivation.

Summary: Female patients have higher morbidity and more frequent adverse events from treatments compared to males in many age-related diseases. However, the commonly used preclinical models fail to replicate typical female aging trajectories and lack research on menopause, pregnancy, and other gender considerations. Therefore, it is necessary for aging biology researchers, journals, funding agencies, and animal providers to take action to address this gap.

Summary: This commentary responds to the call from Jayne and Valentine (2023) to rethink the geographies of alcohol, drinking, and drunkenness. It introduces recent observations on the prevalence and absence of alcohol drinking in academic research and workspaces in China, highlighting the need for a relational approach to overcome existing impasses in alcohol studies.

Summary: The influence of anthropogenic climate change on extreme weather events is well understood, with numerous attribution studies conducted in the past. However, there are discrepancies in the number of studies across the world and for different hazards, and limited capacity to conduct new studies. This study explores the potential of using past attribution studies and other existing evidence to create rapid, low-resource attribution statements, and discusses the potential use cases and considerations for fulfilling these uses. The findings can aid in prioritizing limited research resources for less well understood regions and hazards.

Summary: Two approaches are discussed for characterizing the fluctuation behavior of work applied to a system through a slow change of a parameter. Criteria are obtained under which the work done on small thermally isolated as well as on open systems ceases to fluctuate in a quasistatic process.
