This study explores the relationships among environmental concern (ENVCO), perceived product quality (PPQU), price sensitivity (PRSEN), and consumer green agricultural products purchase intentions (GAPPI). A total of 350 valid responses were collected and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach. The empirical results reveal that ENVCO, PPQU, and PRSEN each have a significant positive impact on GAPPI.

The FRANCO Theory proposes a clinical approach centered on the dignification of the individual’s life trajectory through two foundational pillars: the "School" (what one lives and transmits) and the "History" (what one becomes as a result of lived experience). This methodology transforms clinical anamnesis into a formative act, reconnecting the patient with their existential mission and promoting a psychiatry oriented toward meaning rather than mere symptom suppression.

In vertebrates like fish, mesencephalon or mid brain consists of two regions optic tectum (OT), that act as centre for processing visual impulses and generating motor response and tegmentum containing nerve tracts. Both structural and physiological properties of OT helps to know the mechanism of organizing behaviour. Present paper analyses the midbrain (mesencephalon) of two different fishes, Carassius auratus and Botia striata with respect to its feeding behaviour. Both these aquarium fishes belongs to cypriniformes order, but exhibit different feeding behaviours.

Groper’s space maintainer is a fixed, functional space maintainer used in pediatric dentistry to preservearch length following prematureloss of primary anteriorteeth. Designed specifically for the esthetic and functional needs of young children, it consists of a band or crown on a posterior tooth connected to a wire framework that supports artificial anterior teeth. Unlike traditional space maintainers, Groper’s appliance restores not only the space but also provides esthetic replacement of missing incisors, improving speech, mastication, and self-esteem.

This study examines digital assistant abuse—the intentional misuse of AI-powered voice interfaces—and its societal implications. Drawing from communication theory and empirical research, we analyze how abuse of these technologies may normalize disrespectful communication patterns and erode social norms. Our investigation focuses on four dimensions: technical vulnerabilities enabling abuse, developmental impacts on children, gendered design perpetuating stereotypes, and ethical implications of consequence-free negative interactions with anthropomorphized technology.

This article attempted to verify the effects of Dutch disease on the manufacturing industry in Congo using econometric tools and assessed the nature of the relationship between manufacturing sector growth and other macroeconomic variables such as the real effective exchange rate, government spending, etc. Econometric analyses found that the econometric results of the expenditure effect model and the resource reallocation effect model support the Dutch disease hypothesis in Congo. The country's economy has experienced the consequences of Dutch disease.
