Heterogeneous Effects of Government Investment on SDG 9: Evidence From a Quantile Approach Across Development Levels

ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between government investment and Sustainable Development Goal 9 (SDG 9) performance, focusing on the distribution of SDG 9 performance. The study uses annual data from 70 countries, comprising 41 developing and 29 developed econo...

Physics-guided attention neural network for interpretable and robust photovoltaic fault classification with strict external validation

Accurate and interpretable fault diagnosis in photovoltaic (PV) systems is essential for improving operational reliability and reducing energy losses. This study proposes a Physics-Guided Attention Neural Network (PGANN) for three-class PV fault classification, including Open-cir...

Association between parents’ sense of family belonging and parent–infant attachment: Implications for early family relationships

This cross-sectional correlational study examined the association between parents' sense of family belonging and parent-infant attachment. Data were collected from 422 mothers and 422 fathers using a survey form, the Maternal Attachment Scale, the Father-Infant Attachment Scale,...

Performance-based functional assessment in ankylosing spondylitis: Clinical utility and validation of the Back Performance Scale (BPS-TR)

Background Self-report questionnaires are commonly used to assess functional status in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). However, these instruments may not fully reflect patients’ actual physical performance. The Back Performance Scale (BPS-TR) may provide a more objecti...

Ultrasound assessment of diaphragm thickness and related determinants in healthy female adolescents: a retrospective study

The diaphragm plays a crucial role in respiration and is influenced by changes in body composition. However, data on the relationship between diaphragm thickness, respiratory muscle strength, and body composition in healthy adolescents are limited. This study aimed to investigate...

Surrogate-based multi-objective optimization of a rotating triplex-tube latent heat storage system with eccentric and elliptical configurations

Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) using phase change materials (PCMs) offers high energy density and nearly isothermal heat storage capability; however, the inherently low thermal conductivity of PCMs often results in long charging times that limit practical applications...

The Effect of Placental Mesenchymal Stem Cells on The Protection of Chronic Renal Failure: The Role of Adiponectin

Abstract Purpose Chronic glomerular and tubulointerstitial fibrosis is the leading cause of end-stage renal failure. Mesenchymal stem cell therapy shows great potential for kidney tissue regeneration. The use of measurable biomarkers is crucial for assessing the therapeutic effec...

A quasi experimental study on menstrual cup use: Women's experiences, satisfaction, and menstruation impact

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate women's experiences with menstrual cup use, their satisfaction levels, and the impact of menstruation on their lives. Methods: This quasi experimental mixed methods study was conducted with 34 women who were either employed or studying at a unive...

The Role of Parents’ Social Media Use in Digital Safety Awareness and Its Implications for Children’s Learning Environment

As people of all ages increasingly use social media platforms (SMP) for various purposes, this study investigates how these platforms influence social media addiction (SMA) among parents. Each SMP has different features. The reasons why parents use these platforms, as well as the...

Feasibility and Prognostic Value of an Ovarian NAR-like Score in Advanced Ovarian Cancer Treated with Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Interval Debulking Surgery

Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery is an established treatment strategy for selected patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. However, simple postoperative prognostic tools integrating pre-treatment disease extent and post-treatme...
