Article Abstract
This paper exploits individual-level data before the implementation of a national policy to understand the factors driving avoidance of plastic consumption and explore potential inconsistencies between revealed and stated preferences for a plastic bag ban policy. We estimate a bivariate ordered probit model that allows us to account for a potential correlation between these types of preferences. The data reveals that while 71% of respondents take a reusable bag for shopping, only 58% of the sample state to strongly agree with prohibiting plastic bags. We find that gender, age, environmental concerns, environmental efforts, participation in environmental causes and pro-environmental behavior determine avoidance of plastic consumption, but no effects are found for being in favor of the prohibition. We also find inconsistencies decrease for individuals demonstrating higher pro-environmental behavior in related domains. This indicates waste management policies may benefit from local grounded knowledge from related environmental initiatives.

Vacuum packaging with PA/PE reduce the microbial level and physicochemical index losses of hawthorn ( Bunge) sticks during storage.

The microbial and physicochemical changes of hawthorn sticks in four packaging, including the traditional metallic twist tie packaging with biaxially oriented polypropylene and cast polypropylene, and vacuum packaging (VP), deoxygenated packaging (DP), and plastic packaging (PP) with polyamide/polyethylene (PA/PE) composite film, were compared during the storage at controlled temperature and relative humidity. After 60 days of storage, the control group showed an unacceptable increase in molds (0.65 log CFU/g) and maximum physicochemical losses (25% of moisture content and 72.

Background: Chest radiography is often performed preoperatively as a common diagnostic tool. However, chest radiography carries the risk of radiation exposure. Given the uncertainty surrounding the utility of preoperative chest radiographs, physicians require systematically developed recommendations.

Background/aims: Ampullary adenomas are precancerous lesions requiring accurate diagnosis and timely intervention to prevent malignant transformation. Endoscopic papillectomy (EP) has emerged as a less invasive alternative to surgery; however, technical variations in practice remain. This study evaluated contemporary real-world approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of ampullary adenomas among pancreatobiliary endoscopists.

Neuroscientists commonly use behavior to assess the impact of experimental neural manipulations. While novel technical methods need to be carefully controlled for unintended effects, the use of behavioral metrics without consideration of normal development should be approached with caution as well. In zebra finches, song imitation and song preference are behavioral indicators of memory that are learned interdependently from the father under standard laboratory conditions.
