This mixed-methods study investigates the role-boundary mechanisms and resource-bricolage strategies that shape academic-athletic conflict among elite college tennis players. Survey data from 247 student-athletes across 12 Chinese universities were complemented by in-depth interviews with 18 participants. Tennis players reported significantly greater role-boundary permeability (M=4.21/5.00) than team-sport athletes (M=3.47), and their role-transition frequency was 2.30 times higher. Most role-transition burdens… Read more: Role Boundaries and Resource Bricolage in Academic-athletic Conflict Among Elite College Tennis Players: A Mixed-methods Study

The Japanese yen mounted a sharp and sustained rally against the U.S. dollar in the first week of September 2026, erasing much of its recent weakness and approaching levels not seen since the historic U.S.-Japan joint intervention in late July. The currency surged by more than 3.00 yen in New York trading on September 3rd alone, with the dollar-yen… Read more: Yen Surges on Rate-Hike Bets, No Intervention in Sight

One of the best-tested hypotheses in sustainable finance concerns the relation between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and corporate financial performance (CFP). There are well over 2,000 published papers in the last decade, but the results are wildly conflicting, ranging from positive to null to negative, and these findings can arise within the same data sample and methodology.… Read more: ESG Rating Divergence and Corporate Financial Performance: A Review of the Measurement Problem

China’s first domestically developed B‑cell maturation antigen×Cluster of differentiation 3 (BCMA×CD3) bispecific antibody, Vonsetamig Injection, has received official approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). The new class 1 biologic drug is indicated for adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have failed multiple lines of prior treatment. Multiple myeloma ranks as the second most common… Read more: China’s First Domestic BCMA×CD3 Bispecific Antibody Approved for Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
