Influence of Polydopamine as a Green Passivating Layer on Organic-Based Photoelectrodes via Ex Situ Transfer

Abstract Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting for renewable fuel production has recently witnessed remarkable progress. Organic semiconductor photoanodes stand at the forefront due to their numerous advantages, such as a wide absorption coefficient, tunable energy levels, a...

Challenging Treatment Hesitancy Caused by Mental Illness Stigma in Specialist Advice Responses on Polish Healthcare Platforms

Stigma has numerous adverse effects on people with mental illness. This includes delay in or avoidance of setting an appointment with a professional, as, for example, individuals are concerned for being ridiculed, unable to find a job, or deprived of the right to education becaus...

Arguer’s Identity and Authorization for Phatic and Emotive Moves: A Proposal for an Extension to Inference Anchoring Theory

This paper proposes an extension of Inference Anchoring Theory (IAT) that incorporates speaker-centered pragmatic phenomena: arguer identity, phatic speech acts, and emotive speech acts into the analysis of natural-language argumentation. While recent work has shown how ethos can...

From Somatic Driver to Molecular Therapy in Retinal, Choroidal and Periocular Vascular Disease: Mosaicism, Targetable Pathways and Ocular Toxicity

The identification of somatic drivers has turned a field once based on morphology into a set of molecular pathways that can potentially be targeted with drugs. Vascular lesions of the eye and ocular adnexa used to be classified by their appearance; many of them are now defined by...

Unity of the Classical–Romantic Era?: On the Weaknesses of a Certain Paradigm in Music History

Abstract One significant proposal in the periodisation of music history was the concept of the unity of the Classical–Romantic era, presented in similar form by Zofia Lissa and Friedrich Blume in the 1960s. Both authors proposed combining musical Classicism and Romanticism— two p...

One Core, Many Cures: Quantitative Design Rules for Ionic Liquid Epoxy Curing Agents

Abstract Epoxy formulations containing a 20-member library of 1-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ionic liquids showed systematic N-substituent-dependent differences in thermal curing behavior. The library comprised alkyl, unsaturated, polar-functionalized, ether/silyl-containing, an...

Predicting Reactivity and Enantioselectivity from Small Experimental Datasets: A Case Study in Asymmetric Magnesium Catalysis

Abstract Predicting reactivity and enantioselectivity from limited experimental data remains a central challenge in asymmetric catalysis, where reaction development is often guided by small, internally generated scope datasets rather than large screening campaigns. Here, we show...

Context memory in younger and older adults: Insights from metacognition

Cognitive aging is characterized by a deterioration of episodic memory functions. Since episodic memory requires retrieval of context, it has been proposed that older adults suffer from a specific deficit in terms of remembering context associated with to-be-remembered informatio...

A Bayesian Classification Approach for Exploring EEG Band Power Reduction and P300 Attenuation as Candidate Group-Associated Markers in Alcohol Use Disorder: A Preliminary Study

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is associated with widespread neurophysiological dysregulation, yet accessible and objective biomarkers for early risk identification remain limited. This preliminary study investigates electroencephalographic (EEG) frequency-domain and event-related po...

The efficient star-forming regions of stripped-envelope supernovae

Abstract Massive stars ($\ge 8\, \rm {M}_{\odot }$) play a key role in shaping the interstellar medium of galaxies through stellar feedback. However, how these stars form and evolve before exploding as core-collapse supernovae (SNe) remains elusive. We compute for the first time...

Robot-assisted urologic surgery after kidney transplantation: indications, graft-protection strategies, and outcomes—a scoping review

Kidney transplantation relocates a vascularized graft and ureter into the iliac fossa, changing subsequent urologic surgery. Existing syntheses are procedure-specific. This scoping review mapped indications, graft-protection strategies, outcomes, and evidence gaps across robot-as...

Towards resilient forest establishment in Europe: functional traits, genetic diversity and multifunctional design

Abstract Forest restoration and afforestation across Europe are accelerating, yet the decision-making processes governing forest establishment remain unevenly examined, especially from a biodiversity perspective. Considering this and the global environmental changes of climate sh...

Evidence for long-distance contacts at the turn of eras: A leontomorphic fibula from Kuyavia (Poland). A contribution to the study on the European family of lion-bow fibulae

Abstract Located in the North European Plain and the heart of the Polish lands, the historic region of Kuyavia has long been an area where cultural communication and trade routes criss-crossed. This geographical characteristic had transformative effects on the region’s inhabitant...

Long-term population dynamics of a human-associated colonial raptor: Case of Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni

Long-term monitoring is essential for understanding how demographic processes operating across generations, and under environmental stochasticity, shape population change. This is especially true in human-modified landscapes where nesting opportunities and food resources can shif...

The Effect of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilization on Plant Community Along Chronosequences of Reclaimed and Unreclaimed Postmining Soils After Coal Mining

ABSTRACT Nitrogen and phosphorus availability drive plant community composition, productivity, and ecosystem functioning. During succession, nutrient availability typically changes as organic matter accumulates in the soil, influencing both nitrogen and phosphorus pools. We asses...

Snow microinvertebrates from lowlands, high mountains and the Arctic—implications for conservation efforts

Abstract The protection of cryospheric ecosystems and their biota cannot be properly defined without a detailed species inventory. Snow microinvertebrates are crucial for estimating cryophilic biodiversity, yet they are poorly described at broader spatial scales. To fill this kno...

Little Red Dots host Black Hole Stars: A unified family of gas-reddened AGN revealed by JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy

Abstract We construct and characterise a sample of 146 little red dots (LRDs) across 2.0 < z < 9.3, selecting all sources with v-shaped UV-optical continua from JWST NIRSpec/PRISM spectra and compact morphologies in NIRCam/F444W imaging. We show that LRD continuum spectra are wel...

Western influence or local efforts? John Bernal and the Soviet organization of scientific information

Purpose This paper examines the relationship between John Desmond Bernal (1901–1971) and the Soviet approach to organize scientific information, focussing on the establishment of the All-Union Institute of Scientific and Technological Information (VINITI). Design/methodology/appr...

CX3CR1 Modulates Migration of Resident Microglia Towards Cortical Laser‐Induced Lesions

Microglia are innate immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS). They extend their processes and migrate toward injuries in vivo. However, how the fractalkine receptor (CX3CR1) influences microglial migration remains unknown. Label-free proteomic profiling predicted changes...

Noise protected logical qubit in an open chain of superconducting qubits with ultrastrong interactions

To achieve a fault-tolerant quantum computer, it is crucial to increase the coherence time of quantum bits. In this work, we theoretically investigate a system consisting of a series of superconducting qubits that alternate between XX and YY ultrastrong interactions. By consideri...
