Developing a Workplace Institutional Betrayal Measure Using a Survivor-Led Qualitative Methodology

Institutional betrayal, a concept coined by Jennifer Freyd, has been used to understand institutional responses to sexual violence predominantly in a university setting and specific workplaces (e.g., military). The Institutional Betrayal Questionnaire (IBQ) has been essential in...

Seasonal influence on post-fire debris flow likelihood after the 2020 Lake Fire

The increasing severity of wildfires in Western North America is widely hypothesized to lead to an increase in the likelihood of post-fire debris flows (PFDF), specifically those triggered by high-intensity rain. PFDF likelihoods are highest in the first year and tend to decrease...

Daraxonrasib and the heart: cardiovascular implications of the first clinically successful pan-RAS(ON) inhibitor

Daraxonrasib (RMC-6236), the first orally bioavailable pan-RAS(ON) inhibitor, produced a significant survival benefit in the Phase 3 RASolute 302 trial in previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), reducing the risk of death by 60% versus chemotherapy...

When is quantum mechanics required to describe the thermodynamics of the ideal gas?

A persistent conceptual puzzle in statistical mechanics is that the entropy S of a classical ideal gas depends on quantum mechanical quantities such as Planck's constant h and the factor 1/N!, which is commonly attributed to the indistinguishability of quantum particles. We resol...

Impacts of storytelling on experiential service assessment

Purpose This study aims to investigate how integrating storytelling into tourism guide services influences customers’ positive word-of-mouth (PWOM). It also examines whether storytelling shapes how customers integrate episode assessments of the experience into the PWOM of the gui...

Universal Design for Learning With Preschoolers Who Are Deafblind: Promoting Communication and Language Development

PURPOSE: Preschoolers who are deafblind are a low-incidence and heterogeneous group. Consequently, many speech-language pathologists (SLPs) may not have encountered these children. However, SLPs are essential members of the educational team serving a child who is deafblind. Colla...

Civil: causal and intuitive visual imitation learning

Abstract Today’s robots attempt to learn new tasks by imitating human examples. These robots watch the human complete the task, and then try to match the actions taken by the human expert. However, this standard approach to visual imitation learning is fundamentally limited: the...

3-2-1: Lift Off! Co-Planning Strategies When “There’s No Time!”

Collaborative planning is both a High-Leverage Practice and evidence-based practice for inclusive education. However, co-teachers frequently cite a lack of time as the greatest barrier to effective collaboration and instructional impact. This article presents a practical, flexibl...

Mapping System Vulnerabilities in Anaesthesia Safety: A Role‐Based Inquiry in Response to Fatal Fungal Meningitis Outbreaks in Mexico

ABSTRACT Objectives Unsafe anaesthesia practices in Mexico have contributed to repeated outbreaks of fatal fungal meningitis, exposing broader health system vulnerabilities. This study aimed to analyse how structural weaknesses in perioperative care, spanning governance, workforc...

Effect of ions on the ultrafast dynamics of electron–phonon and phonon–phonon interactions in gold nanospheres in water

Modulating localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) plays an essential role in the incorporation of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) in various applications. For instance, the ability to tune the LSPR frequency by varying the size and shape of MNPs is crucial for photodetection and...
