In insects, sex determination pathways involve three levels of master regulators: primary signals, which determine the sex; executors, which control sex-specific differentiation of tissues and organs; and transducers, which link the primary signals t...
Background: Environmental determinants of health (EnvDoH) are widely recognised as shaping health and behaviour, yet little attention has been given to how they are conceptually defined. This is notable given their use across disciplines and the lack...

Estimates bounds for Carathéodory functions in the complex domain are applied to demonstrate sharp limits for the inverse of analytic functions. Determining these values is considered a more difficult task compared to finding the values of ana...
Reptile biodiversity is rapidly declining, with over 11,733 recognized species across 1226 genera being documented, many of which are endangered. Captive breeding programs play a crucial role in conservation; however, effective management requires ac...
The article presents the use of the ARDL model to identify military expenditure determinants of the Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia). Factors influencing military expenditure include the variables characterizing the economic environment...
In this paper the energy saving behavior and its impacting determinants in schools are analyzed. There is a large number of research on energy saving behavior in residential buildings. However large fraction of the total energy is consumed in public...
The determination of 241Am in the environment is of importance in monitoring its release and assessing its environmental impact and radiological risk. This paper aims to give an overview about the recent developments and the state-of-art analytical m...
There is growing interest for bioanalytical tools that might be designed for a specific user, primarily for research purposes. In this perspective, a new, highly stable potentiometric sensor based on glassy carbon/polyazulene/NH4+-selective membrane...
Self-determination is critical in promoting classroom engagement among students with autism spectrum disorder. The Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI), an evidence-based practice for enhancing self-determination in students with dis...

Children and youth are showing increasing levels of mental health distress due to the climate crisis, characterized by feelings of sadness, guilt, changes in sleep and appetite, difficulty concentrating, solastalgia, and disconnection from land. To g...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, uncertainty, threat to life, and repeated lockdowns have significantly undermined people’s psychological well-being. In such situations, the basic needs for self-determination (SDT) are disrupted—autonomy, co...
Background/Objectives: Mental health problems among university students represent a growing public health concern and are shaped by both psychological and socioeconomic determinants that may act independently and interactively. This systematic review...
The paper focuses on the factors that determine the size of an open market share repurchase in the UK. The testing covers the time period 1985–2014 and tests if the traditional motives for repurchasing shares also determine the size of the repu...
