Predictive Modeling of Urban Heat Stress Using Machine Learning: A 2050 UTCI-Based Assessment

Urban heat islands and increasingly severe thermal stress pose critical challenges to sustainable urban development, yet physics-based simulation tools remain computationally expensive and ill-suited to early-stage climate-responsive design. This study applies machine learning to...

The Search for a Universal ESG–FDI Relationship: Why Development and Investment Context Matter

ABSTRACT The empirical literature has not established a consistent relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and foreign direct investment (FDI). One reason may be that the association varies with countries' level of development and the structur...

Supervisor incivility and employee withdrawal in the tourism sector

Abstract The issue of workplace incivility is becoming more prevalent in service-oriented industries due to its negative effects on employee well-being and organizational performance. However, previous research has primarily examined isolated outcomes of supervisor incivility, pr...

Mass and functionality based exergy analysis of different rapeseed protein production routes

Rapeseed proteins are among the outstanding plant-based proteins due to their favorable interfacial functionality. This study evaluates the resource use of the most common rapeseed protein production routes – acidic precipitation, ultrafiltration and wet mild fractionation – usin...

Spatial sampling requirements for data-driven prediction of room acoustic parameters: A within-venue sub-sampling experiment

How many measurement positions does data-driven spatial characterisation of a performance venue require? A controlled within-venue experiment answers this question, distinguishing throughout between two often-conflated tasks: predicting acoustic parameters at positions never meas...

The Paradox of Medical Education: Lifestyle and the Sense of Self-Efficacy and Locus of Health Control Among Medical Students in the Eastern Borderlands of the European Union

Abstract Aim This cross-sectional study evaluated health behaviors, diet, physical activity, and psychological determinants (self-efficacy, life satisfaction, health locus of control) among medical and health sciences students across seven EU borderland countries to investigate t...

Association of admission serum copeptin with hemorrhagic shock severity in adult trauma patients

Abstract Hemorrhagic shock remains a major cause of potentially preventable death after trauma, and early assessment of its severity is essential. This prospective observational biomarker study evaluated admission serum copeptin in 103 adult trauma patients. The primary analysis...

Arm position matters: Changes in vastus medialis activation during the single-leg squat in recreational athletes

The single-leg squat (SLS) is commonly used to assess lower-extremity neuromuscular performance. However, the effect of arm position on vastus medialis activation during the SLS remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different arm positions on vastus media...

From weed management to bioenergy production: An integrated BMP –kinetic– MCDM framework for evaluating terrestrial weeds

Abstract Weeds are abundant lignocellulosic biomasses that represent a largely underutilized resource for renewable energy production. This study evaluated the biomethane production potential of five terrestrial weed species— Amaranthus retroflexus , Medicago sativa , Lactuca ser...

Effects of eight weeks of respiratory muscle training combined with high-intensity interval training on respiratory muscle strength, intermittent running performance, and agility in soccer players

This study examined whether adding respiratory muscle training (RMT) to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) provides additional benefits for respiratory muscle strength, intermittent running performance, and agility in male soccer players. Twenty-six players were randomly all...

Evaluation of mandibular bone structures in thyroid dysfunction: a radiomorphometric index and fractal dimension analysis study

Abstract Background Thyroid dysfunctions, particularly hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, are endocrinopathies that can affect bone metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism on mandibular trabecular and cortical bone structure usi...

Burned Area Evidence for Process-Sensitive Post-Fire Hydrogeomorphic Monitoring Across Mediterranean and Iberian–Atlantic Regions

In operational terms, post-fire landscapes require monitoring priorities that reflect hydrogeomorphic susceptibility rather than burned extent alone. This study tests whether European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) burned area evidence, combined with open terrain, rainfal...

AI literacy and AI anxiety in emergency and first aid students: a cross-sectional study

This study was conducted to determine Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy and AI anxiety levels in students attending the First Aid and Emergency Program, to analyze the relationship between these variables, and to identify significant predictors of AI literacy and AI anxiety....

Short-term inspiratory muscle training, aerobic exercise, and detraining in women with COPD: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Inspiratory muscle dysfunction, exercise intolerance, dyspnea, and reduced well-being contribute to the burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We compared the short-term effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT), aerobic exercise (AE), comb...

Impact of adjuvant endocrine therapy on disease-free survival in early triple-positive breast cancer: a multicenter retrospective cohort study of the Turkish oncology group

Triple-positive breast cancer (TPBC), characterized by concurrent ER, PR, and HER2 positivity, poses unique therapeutic challenges due to ER–HER2 crosstalk. The optimal adjuvant endocrine therapy in TPBC patients receiving anti-HER2 regimens remains poorly defined. This multicent...
