A new systematic review in the Future Business Journal examined how leadership relates to workplace outcomes for differently-abled employees. Across 13 included studies, leadership described as supportive, inclusive, and compassionate was linked with a range of positive affective, attitudinal, and behavioral outcomes, with employee well-being showing up most often.
AI systems can generate proof sketches and formal steps, but those outputs often vary in how much evidence they actually carry. This paper proposes Proof Engine Infrastructure, an architecture that links each claim to a checking procedure and composes only earned results into larger proof goals.
This systematic review examined whether saliva samples could be used to monitor antiviral drug levels during prophylaxis or treatment in immunosuppressed people. The review included nine primary studies that reported antiviral concentrations in both saliva and plasma, but findings were limited and inconsistent. It concludes that feasibility is currently inconclusive, though preliminary evidence looks promising for some antivirals.
Satellite images often average bare-soil data over long periods, but the colors can change even under similar conditions. Using seven years of Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 reflectance data from more than 27,000 European sites, researchers found that changes in solar angle interacting with rough bare soil explain most of the temporal variation, while surface moisture contributes less.
A preschool program called CARE tested in northern and central Portugal was reported as acceptable and safe by children and educators. The study also found early improvements in children’s emotional recognition and in rejecting “secrecy” tied to abuse, with mixed results about disclosure.
A study using passive air samplers found that outdoor air across five East African countries shares a broadly similar set of bacteria. Fungal communities varied more by country, and nearby sites did not always match closely.
A narrative review in Discover Public Health examines how crisis media exposure affects older adults’ thinking, emotions, and disaster preparedness. The authors report that trusted, step-by-step information can support planning, while repeated graphic coverage and misinformation can increase stress and promote more viewing despite distress.
This narrative review discusses whether ketamine could be a candidate therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It focuses on proposed mechanisms related to sigma-1 receptors, mitochondria, protein handling, inflammation, and neuroplasticity, but it does not present new clinical trial results in people with ALS.
This systematic review examined whether exercise-based interventions reduce fall risk in community-dwelling people with Parkinson’s disease. Across ten included systematic reviews, exercise was associated with improvements in motor function, gait, balance, and postural stability, and pooled analyses suggested a reduction in fall-related risk measures.
A new systematic review synthesizes research from 2018 to 2026 on fungal, oomycete, nematode, and viral threats to forest health. It reports that climate change and global trade are shifting where pathogens can spread, while improved DNA-based surveillance tools are still not fully translated into integrated forest management. The review also flags gaps, including limited viral disease research and weak coverage of tropical forest systems.
A major new review in particle physics compiles measured properties of major particle types, including the recently discovered Higgs boson. It adds 3,200 new measurements from 903 papers and updates many tables and reviews covering known particles and searches for hypothetical ones.
A systematic review of 27 studies finds that teacher support is tied to multiple ways English learners’ motivation can grow. The review also shows that research has used varied definitions of “teacher support” and groups motivational explanations into five types, forming an integrated framework.
A cross-sectional study in Sweden found that youths following vegan diets obtained more energy and several nutrients from ultra-processed foods than youths in other diet groups. Across all diets, higher ultra-processed food intake was linked with lower nutrition knowledge and lower whole-grain intake, but it was not linked to blood markers of nutritional status.
In this human trial, 493 adults with overweight compared non-nutritive sweetened (NNS) beverages with water for weight change over 1 year of assisted weight management plus 1 year of unassisted monitoring. Over 104 weeks, the weight loss seen with NNS beverages (4.8 kg) was not significantly different from water (3.7 kg). The study suggests both approaches had similar weight results when paired with a weight-management program.
A retrospective study of 53 infants with Chiari II–associated hydrocephalus found that combining endoscopic third ventriculostomy with choroid plexus cauterization helped many avoid long-term shunt surgery. Success rates were higher in older infants, and complications still occurred, with meningitis the most common.
