Implementing policy combinations that neither negatively impact economic performance nor create the least amount of harm is the most crucial factor to consider in policy practices that promote environmental quality. In this regard, green growth, which harmonises both environmental and economic performance, gains importance. Based on this, this study analyses the effects of foreign direct investments, financial development, and financial globalisation on green growth for BRICS countries for the period 1990-2021. For this purpose, the effects of these factors on green growth are investigated using novel wavelet quantile regression and wavelet quantile correlation techniques. The findings show that while foreign direct investment inflow harms green growth in countries other than South Africa, there is a positive effect for South Africa. On the other hand, financial development and financial globalisation have adverse effects on green growth only in South Africa but have an increasing effect on green growth in other countries.

Silver nanoprisms (AgNPrs) are promising candidates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) due to their strong localized surface plasmon resonance and sharp tip geometry. In this study, AgNPrs were synthesized through a photochemical method by irradiating spherical silver nanoparticle seeds with 10 W green light-emitting diodes (LEDs; 520 ± 20 nm) for various periods of time up to 72 h. The growth mechanism was investigated through ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy analyses, confirming the gradual transformation of spherical seeds into AgNPrs.

Among eukaryotes, Rab GTPases are critical for intracellular membrane trafficking and possess various functions. Oomycetes, responsible for many devastating plant diseases, pose a significant threat to global agriculture. However, the functions of Rab GTPases in oomycetes are largely uncharted.

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is the most aggressive form of thyroid malignancy and currently lacks effective treatment options. While anti-PD1 therapy has shown remarkable clinical results in some cases, only a subset of ATC patients responds to it. Eganelisib (IPI549), a highly selective PI3Kγ inhibitor, can alleviate the tumor immunosuppressive state by reducing the proportion of M2-like tumor associated macrophages, partially overcoming patient resistance to anti-PD1 therapy and synergizing with its efficacy.

This review examines the chemical and ecological interactions between filter-feeding mussels and the green macroalga Ulva prolifera in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems. Mussels are crucial for nutrient recycling, as they filter water and release bioavailable compounds such as ammonium (NH), urea (CO(NH)), and dissolved organic matter (DOM). These compounds promote Ulva growth and enhance microbial activity.

The widespread coexistence of chiral herbicides and heavy metals (HMs) in agricultural soils poses significant ecological risks to crop safety, yet their combined ecotoxicological effects are not well understood. This study systematically investigated the enantiomer-specific effects of napropamide (R/S-NAP) on plant HMs accumulation. Results showed that S-NAP application reduced plant biomass and HMs accumulation, while R-NAP exhibited distinct effects, increasing root biomass and HMs accumulation in roots.
