Equal Provision, Unequal Benefit: Social Class and the Conversion of Employer-Provided Digital Training into Worker Wellbeing Across 27 European Countries

Employers increasingly provide training for working with digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI), but it is unclear whether the same provision benefits all workers equally. Integrating the job demands–resources (JD-R) model with Sen’s capability approach, this study...

Design and Implementation of a Switched Back-to-Back E-Slotted Antenna for Bidirectional Wireless Relay Applications

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and experimental validation of a switched back-to-back E-slotted antenna system for bidirectional wireless relay applications. The proposed antenna integrates two identical E-slotted microstrip patches placed on opposite sides of a sin...

Şizotipal Kişilik Bozukluğu: Kuramsal, Boyutsal ve Ayırıcı Özellikler Açısından Bir Değerlendirme

Araştırmada, şizotipal kişilik bozukluğunun kuramsal, boyutsal ve ayırıcı özellikler açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Şizotipal kişilik bozukluğu köken olarak eskilere dayanmakla birlikte üzerinde kısıtlı sayıda çalışma yapılmış olan bir kişilik bozukluğu olduğu görülmektedir...

Follicular-Fluid Organic Acid Profiling in Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, Poor Responders, and Controls

Follicular-fluid (FF) organic acid concentrations may differ among women with normal ovarian reserve (NOR), polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), and poor ovarian response (POR), reflecting alterations in central carbon and amino-acid-related metabolic pathways. PMOS a...

Adding Neuromuscular Exercise to Ergonomics Training for Professional Butchers: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Symptoms

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether adding a 12-week neuromuscular exercise programme to occupation-specific ergonomics training improves work-related musculoskeletal symptoms in professional butchers. METHODS: In this single-blind randomized controlled trial, 50 symptomatic male but...

Early on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting after clinically stable non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with recent clopidogrel exposure versus elective surgery: a propensity score-matched cohort study

Optimal timing of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) after non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and perioperative management of recent clopidogrel exposure remain related but distinct clinical issues. We compared a selected, clinically stable NSTEMI early-C...

Dynamic Behavior Modeling of Solenoid Valves Used for Proportional Fuel Control: PWM-Based Flow Rate Prediction

This study presents a predictive modeling framework for estimating transient flow rates in PWM-driven solenoid valves. Building on a previously validated dynamic model, the proposed framework enables flow prediction under varying process conditions and valve configurations. Flow...

Long‐Term Outcomes and Risk Factors for Failure After Transobturator Tape Surgery in Women With Stress Urinary Incontinence

ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the long‐term outcomes of transobturator tape (TOT) surgery in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), identify predictors of surgical failure, and assess failure‐free survival using Kaplan–Meier analysis. Materials and Methods This retrospective st...

Can AI Promote Sustainable Consumption Without Undermining Consumer Autonomy? The Effects of Ethical Personalization and Sustainability Message Framing

ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used to promote sustainable consumption; however, concerns regarding transparency, manipulation, and consumer autonomy raise important ethical questions. This study examines how ethical versus manipulative AI personalization a...

Early Neuroprotective Effects of Erucic Acid and Gentisic Acid on Hippocampal Glutamate Concentrations and Alzheimer-like Molecular Alterations in an Intracerebroventricular Streptozotocin Rat Model

Background: Alterations in glutamatergic homeostasis have been implicated in Alzheimer’s disease, but the relationship between total hippocampal tissue glutamate and Alzheimer-like molecular alterations remains unclear. This study evaluated the early neuroprotective potential of...

Development and Clinical Application of a Thermally Reconstructed Platelet-Rich Plasma Concentrate-Based Biofiller (ExoFiller)

Abstract Autologous plasma-based fillers have gained interest in regenerative aesthetics as biologically active alternatives to conventional dermal fillers. However, conventional PRP-Gel formulations may be limited by rapid degradation, variable bioactivity, and insufficient stru...

Machine Learning-Based Sex Classification Using Linear Dimensions of the Talocrural Joint

Background: Pelvic and cranial markers are often fragmented in mass disasters. The resilient talocrural joint serves as a valuable secondary site. This study presents a novel 12-landmark configuration on conventional 2D AP ankle radiographs as a rapid, cost-effective auxiliary se...

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Long-Term Care: Artificial Intelligence Applications for Monitoring Nutritional Status and Social Well-Being

The global rise in the older adult population brings complex, interrelated biopsychosocial challenges, including nutritional inadequacies, sarcopenia, social isolation, and sleep disturbances. Dealing with these interconnected issues in institutional care settings is increasingly...

Sex-Specific Correlates of Emotional Eating Among Arab Migrants

Acculturative stress, arising from cultural and psychological changes following intercultural contact, may increase vulnerability to maladaptive coping behaviors, including emotional eating. Evidence suggests that the association between acculturative stress and disordered eating...

Multi-Backbone U-Net segmentation and interpretable hybrid deep learning classification for lung cancer detection in chest CT images

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and its early and accurate diagnosis from chest CT imaging is complicated by overlapping radiological features between benign and malignant lesions, as well as by the limited cross-institution validation...
