Drivers Of Domestic Waste Separation Intentions at The Household Level: An Application of The Theory of Planned Behavior

2025-07-01T08:24:07+00:00

Effective domestic waste separation at the source is a cornerstone of sustainable waste management, yet its implementation faces significant challenges globally, particularly at the household level. This article investigates the determinants of household intention to separate domestic waste, applying Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as the guiding theoretical framework. The TPB posits that an individual's intention to perform a behavior is influenced by their attitude towards the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, this study synthesizes findings on how these constructs, alongside other contextual factors, influence household waste separation intentions. Understanding these drivers is crucial for designing targeted interventions and policies that promote greater participation in waste segregation programs, ultimately contributing to improved resource recovery and reduced environmental impact.

A Five-Layer Framework for Cost Optimization in Snowflake: Applied to P&C Insurance Workloads

2025-07-07T02:43:21+00:00

The use of Snowflake as a cloud-native data warehouse has dramatically changed the management of analytics workload for Property and Casualty (P&C) insurers, while simultaneously presenting serious cost governance challenges. The heavy volume of searches, big data retention, and decentralized business intelligence operations are industry-standard procedures that tend to lead to uncontrolled credit usage and overspending on storage. This research introduces a modular five-layer optimization framework focused on property and casualty insurance data, combining workload segmentation, and compute sizing with Snowflake's account usage metadata. The framework is tested and validated using Kaggle’s Insurance Agency Data, representing real-world P&C operations across 17 states. Benchmark queries simulating core insurance workloads were designed using modified TPC-H logic, a standard decision support benchmark that enables realistic performance evaluation under analytical query conditions, achieving up to 82% cost reduction and a 64% reduction in execution time without compromising the results. These results highlight the efficiency of the framework to facilitate proactive and elastic cost control. Future studies can investigate AI-driven query forecasting, scalable warehouse dynamics, and real-time anomaly detection to further advance cloud-native data ecosystem governance.

Targeted Degradation of MYB as a Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Acute Myeloid Leukemias

2025-07-06T07:06:42+00:00

This study examines targeted degradation of the transcription factor MYB as a novel therapeutic avenue in acute myeloid leukemias. Its relevance stems from the limited efficacy of existing treatment regimens and the emergence of drug‐resistant disease forms. The work’s novelty lies in the integrated comparison of genetic models for MYB destabilization, chemical dTAG approaches, and the repurposing of low-molecular-weight compounds mebendazole and vitaferin A. Data are synthesized on MYB’s transformational properties critical for leukemic-clone maintenance, and experimental findings are reviewed on the suppression of transcriptional programs and induction of blast-cell death following complete factor elimination. Special attention is devoted to prospects for developing PROTAC degraders and molecular glues capable of catalyzing ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of MYB at low compound doses. The research aims to construct a comprehensive assessment of the efficacy and safety of MYB-degradation strategies and to identify directions for further preclinical investigation. Methods include comparative analysis of peer-reviewed literature, critical appraisal of in vitro and in vivo data, and synthesis of pharmacodynamic profiles of the repurposed agents. The overall evaluation highlights the approach’s potential to overcome therapeutic resistance and improve patient survival. The findings will interest pharmacologists, oncologists, clinical researchers, and specialists in chemical biology.
