Article Abstract

To achieve sustainable development, waste recycling is regarded as an ideal method to dispose of construction and demolition (C&D) waste. The economy is seen as the priority factor influencing recycling technology adoption. Hence, the subsidy is generally used to cross the economic barrier. To illustrate the recycling technology adoption path under governmental subsidy, this paper constructs a non-cooperative game model to investigate the impact of governmental subsidy on the C&D waste recycling technology adoption. By taking adoption profit, opportunity cost, and initial adoption marginal cost into consideration, the best time to adopt recycling technology and adoption behavior is discussed in detail in four scenarios. Results show that the governmental subsidy has a positive impact on C&D waste recycling technology adoption, and the subsidy could advance the adoption time of recyclers. If the subsidy proportion can reach 70% of the cost, recyclers will adopt recycling technology at the initial time. The results could contribute to a deeper understanding of C&D waste management by promoting the development of C&D waste recycling projects and also provide references to governments.

Background: Labor shortages in health care pose significant challenges to sustaining high-quality care for people with intellectual disabilities. Social robots show promise in supporting both people with intellectual disabilities and their health care professionals; yet, few are fully developed and embedded in productive care environments. Implementation of such technologies is inherently complex, requiring careful examination of facilitators and barriers influencing sustained use.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and a leading cause of mortality in Europe. Early detection through screening reduces mortality, yet participation in mammography-based programs remains suboptimal due to discomfort, radiation exposure, and accessibility issues. Thermography, particularly when driven by artificial intelligence (AI), is being explored as a noninvasive, radiation-free alternative.

Objective: Systematize the methodological decisions adopted in the budget impact analyses of the recommendation reports of the National Commission for the Incorporation of Technologies into the Unified Health System (Conitec) regarding drugs incorporated into the SUS (Brazilian Unified Health System) in the period from 2012 to 2024.

Methods: This is an exploratory, descriptive, retrospective study, based on document analysis of Conitec's technical recommendation reports with decisions on the incorporation of drugs published up to 2024. Information from the Budget Impact Analyses (BIA) was extracted and presented in terms of percentage, median and interquartile range.

Insects, unlike vertebrates, use heteromeric complexes of odorant receptors and co-receptors for olfactory signal transduction. However, the secondary messengers involved in this process are largely unknown. Here, we use the olfactory signal transduction of the aggregation pheromone 4-vinylanisole (4VA) as a model to address this question.
