Der August 2026 war mit einer globalen Durchschnitts-Temperatur von 16,96 Grad Celsius der wärmste August seit Beginn des ERA5-Datensatzes. Auch die Meeresoberflächen-Temperaturen außerhalb der Polarregionen erreichten einen August-Rekord. West-Europa verzeichnete seinen bislang wärmsten Sommer. Besonders hohe Meeres-Temperaturen traten an Europas Atlantik-Küste und im westlichen Mittelmeer auf.

NFL Catchup: More Record Extension; Shedeur Embracing QB Comp; Lamb's Unusual Routine https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/nfl-catchup-more-record-extension-shedeur-embracing-qb-comp-lambs-unusual-routine

Karin Kneissl, Ex-Außenministerin Österreichs, lebt seit 2023 in einem 400-Seelen-Dorf in der Region Rjasan. Im Interview beschreibt sie: In russischen Dörfern fehlt fast die gesamte Generation zwischen 15 und 50. Verbreiteter Alkoholismus, Mütter, die Schnaps statt Essen kaufen. Staatlicher Druck auf Frauen, mehr Kinder zu bekommen. Sie zählt die Folgen einzeln auf – über dem Sofa hängt Putins Porträt. Weggehen? Für sie „eine dumme Frage".

fly_larva: Drosophila larva brain (2023)
A complete synaptic map of the brain connectome of the larva of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Nodes are neurons, and edges are synaptic connections, traced individually from brain image sections using three-dimensional electron microscopy–based reconstruction. Node metadata include the neuron hempisphere, hemispherical homologue, cell type, annotations, and inferred cluster. Edge metadata include the type of interaction (`'aa'`,…

Price Responses of Rwandan Tungsten Exports under Conflict Minerals Regulation
Haruka Nagamori, Kazuhiko Nishimura

Abstract: Section 1502 of the Dodd--Frank Act, enacted in 2010, requires U.S.-listed companies using tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries to disclose information on the minerals' origins. Concerns have been raised that the regulation may have induced a de facto embargo through avoidance of sourcing from the covered region. However, how the price responsiveness of mineral exports evolved under changing institutional and market conditions remains insufficiently understood. Since tungsten production in the covered region is concentrated almost entirely in Rwanda, this study examines the price responsiveness of Rwandan tungsten exports from January 2009 to December 2023.
Because missing export quantity data prevent continuous observation of export unit values, we apply the identification approach of Nakano and Nishimura (2025), combining monthly mirror trade data from UN Comtrade with exchange rates and a world average price. An importer fixed-effects model is estimated using export value as the dependent variable, with the sample divided into four periods according to changes in the institutional and market environment.
The results reveal substantial temporal variation in price responsiveness. A statistically significant negative price response is observed in Period 1 ($\eta=-20.814$, $p<0.01$), disappears in Period 2 ($\eta=1.814$, $p>0.10$), reappears in Period 3 ($\eta=-5.277$, $p<0.01$), and disappears again in Period 4 ($\eta=0.440$, $p>0.10$). Coefficient-difference tests confirm significant changes between Periods 1 and 2 ($p=0.0021$) and between Periods 3 and 4 ($p=0.0006$). These findings suggest that the price responsiveness of Rwandan tungsten exports varied substantially over time rather than following a uniform trajectory after the regulation.
