A New Perspective on Organizational Agility: System-Wide Planned Change Process Agility

System-wide planned change efforts serve as tools for firms facing threats to their foundational survival and success. One of the often-desired outcomes of organizational change is the ability for firms to be more agile. Organizational agility can better position a firm to recogn...

Scheduling algorithms for time-dependent V-shaped processing times with agreeable slopes around a common ideal time

Abstract We study a single-machine problem with time-dependent processing times following a V-shape around a common ideal time. The slopes are under an agreeableness condition and can be asymmetric and job-specific. Its application lies in production with a moving assembly line,...

Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance-Induced Interfacial Dynamic Charge Circulation in Plasmonic Ohmic Heterojunctions for Optimizing Hydrogen Evolution Kinetics

Abstract It remains a formidable challenge to precisely regulate interfacial charge transfer kinetics via architecting high-efficiency heterointerfaces, thereby achieving optimized hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. Here, we report a strategy based on work function-media...

The Misconception of Comparing Gaza and Cilician Wines Through the Use of LRA 1 and LRA 4, and the Methodological Restrictions of Comparing Military and Civilian Sites

The economy is central to an empire’s military and overall sustainability. This interdependence, especially in the Roman Empire, has drawn significant scholarly attention. However, research methodologies in this area often remain underexplored and flawed. This article examines as...

Light Reliable Spanners

Abstract. A [Formula: see text] -reliable spanner of a metric space [Formula: see text] is a (dominating) graph [Formula: see text] such that for any possible failure set [Formula: see text], there is a set [Formula: see text] just slightly larger than [Formula: see text], and al...

Inside-outside technology effects: how technological proficiency and technological work environments shape GenZers’ work expectations

Purpose This study aims to examine how the alignment between individual technological proficiency (TP) and technologically advanced organizational environments – an internal-external congruence – shapes Generation Z’s (Gen Z) expectations regarding job flexibility (JF), face-to-f...

The paradox of pleasing: therapeutic recognition and the limits of conversational AI

Abstract Conversational artificial intelligence (CAI) is increasingly used by hundreds of millions of people for emotional support, personal advice, and therapeutic purposes, rapidly emerging as a mediator of human self-understanding (Stade et al. 2025). Yet despite growing evide...

A Transparent Method for Medicolegal Decision-Making: The FAIR Framework for Individualized Attribution in Occupational Disease

OBJECTIVE: To present and evaluate Factor Attribution for Integrated Risk (FAIR), a framework for proportional attribution of excess disease risk in occupational medicine. FAIR aligns epidemiologic evidence with medicolegal thresholds (>50%, ≥20%) and distinguishes population-lev...

Two Developmentally Informed Therapeutic Models for Social Rejection in Middle Childhood and Adolescence: The “From Me to We” Paradigm

Social rejection is one of the most painful experiences in childhood and adolescence; however, its developmental origins and clinical meaning differ significantly across developmental stages. This paper presents a developmental–psychodynamic framework for understanding social rej...

From Rapid Progression to Long-Lasting Complete Response: A Wide Range of Ripretinib Activity for Metastatic GIST—A Real-World Cohort

Background: Ripretinib, a switch-control kinase inhibitor approved for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), inhibits primary and secondary KIT and PDGFRA mutations. Real-world data from Western and Middle Eastern populations remain limited. We report outcomes from a mo...

Family Obligations? Working-Class Older Parents’ Relational Work in Support of their Young Adult Children

For families saving for emergencies or repaying debts, feeling morally obligated to assist young adult children who cannot meet their own expenses may require parental sacrifice, namely, giving resources that parents desperately need themselves. Until recently, scholars of relati...

Enhancing short-term predictions of mortality risk for liver transplant candidates through random survival forests

MELD-based scores do not fully account for systemic and metabolic risk in liver transplant candidates, with notable gaps for those with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). In this retrospective, outcome-anchored, single-center proof-of-concept study,...

String problems in the congested clique model

In this paper we present algorithms for several string problems in the Congested Clique model. In the Congested Clique model, n nodes (computers) are used to solve some problem. The input to the problem is distributed among the nodes, and the communication between the nodes is co...

Spectrally Programmable Spin‐Polarized Photocurrents in WSe 2 –NiPS 3 Magnetic van der Waals Heterostructures

ABSTRACT Efficient generation and control of spin‐polarized currents in semiconductors remain central challenges for spin‐based electronics, particularly due to impedance mismatch and the reliance on magnetic fields or ferromagnetic contacts. Here, we introduce a materials platfo...

Gestational diabetes in multifetal versus singleton pregnancies: A multicenter cohort study

Abstract Introduction Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with increased neonatal morbidity in singleton pregnancies, but evidence in multifetal pregnancies is limited. Current diagnostic thresholds are largely extrapolated from singleton data; It remains unclear wh...

Monitoring EML4-ALK Biomarkers via a Microfluidic Assay for Treatment Efficacy Assessment

Monitoring prognostic biomarkers is essential for evaluating cancer treatment efficacy in real time. Here, we present a rapid, proof-of-concept microfluidic assay for cancer biomarker quantification and functional therapy evaluation. The assay requires only 5 µL of sample, elimin...

Individual metabolic differences predict the spontaneous emergence of breast muscle myopathy in broiler chickens

Individual variability is a fundamental characteristic and one of the long-standing mysteries in biology. Significant differences in health are observed even among isogenic, simple organisms such as yeast or worms, maintained under homogeneous and strictly controlled laboratory c...

Incident psoriasis in atopic dermatitis: a large-scale cohort study of disease- and treatment-associated risks

Abstract Background Clinical and genetic evidence on the association between atopic dermatitis (AD) and subsequent psoriasis remains conflicting, and it is unclear whether this risk is modified by systemic treatments. Recent reports suggest type 2-targeted biologics may unmask ps...

A Mesoionic Platform for Persistent Anionic Nitrogen‐Centered Radicals

Persistent anionic N-centered radicals are exceptionally rare, as the coexistence of negative charge and unpaired electron density typically promotes protonation, aggregation, and irreversible redox chemistry. Here we introduce mesoionic 1,2,3-triazines as a platform for stabiliz...
