Photoinduced Disruption of Bisazo Photoswitch-Functionalized Amphiphilic Nanovesicles for High-Efficiency Nanofungicide Delivery

Abstract Photoresponsive nanocarriers are one of the intelligent delivery systems for achieving ordered and controlled drug release. In this study, we developed a fluorescent molecular switch by attaching azo groups to both ends of a nonaethylene glycol (PEG-9) chain. This switch...

Enantioselective Synthesis of Azahelicenes via Rh-Catalyzed C–H Functionalization of 6-Hydroxyisoquinoline Derivatives with Alkynes

Abstract Herein, we report an asymmetric C–H functionalization of 6-hydroxyisoquinoline derivatives and annulation with internal alkynes. The reaction is catalyzed by a chiral cyclopentadienyl (Cp)-Rh complex in combination with a modified chiral amino acid. A series of azahelice...

The state-led reproductive boundary: Divisions and income disparity in mainland China's paid care work

This study examines how the state and the market shape income divisions among paid care workers in China's domestic service economy. We develop the concept of the state-led reproductive boundary to examine how state intervention, through certification, training, work arrangement,...

Más allá del orientalismo

Resumen La narrativa china moderna y contemporánea comenzó a difundirse en el ámbito catalanohablante durante la década de los noventa. Este artículo se propone analizar, por un lado, las actividades traductoras de narrativa china llevadas a cabo en las comunidades catalanas y, p...

The Relationship Between Hostile Interpretation Bias and Aggression in Adults: A Systematic Review and Three-Level Meta-Analysis

Hostile interpretation bias is a key cognitive factor associated with aggression; however, empirical research findings among adult populations remain inconsistent and lack systematic integration. This study aimed to quantitatively synthesise the association between hostile interp...

The Phase Structure of QCD: Fluctuations and Correlations

The strong interaction, governed by quantum chromodynamics (QCD), shapes the structure of the visible Universe. At about 10 μs after the big bang, the quark–gluon plasma (QGP)—the primordial matter made up of quarks and gluons plus leptons, photons, and neutrinos—became cool enou...

Hyperedge overlap regulates stochastic resonance in higher-order networks

Previous studies have shown that higher-order interactions can enhance stochastic resonance, but the role of their microscopic organization remains unclear. We investigate stochastic resonance in a bistable oscillator network with higher-order interactions by varying the overlap...

Intelligent multimodal classification of infantile vascular diseases based on ultrasound images

Infantile hemangiomas (IH) and venous malformations (VMs) often exhibit overlapping echogenic features in grayscale ultrasound images, necessitating color Doppler ultrasound for accurate diagnosis. Furthermore, some venous malformation patients develop painful phleboliths (vein s...

Seeing the future or losing it? The roles of STARA awareness and career crafting in shaping perceived employability

Purpose Rapid advances in smart technologies, artificial intelligence, robotics and algorithms (STARA) are reshaping the nature of work and raising concerns about employees' employability. Drawing on the theory of purposeful work behavior, our study examines how individuals' futu...

Halogen Doping Selectively Induces a High-Spin State in Octahedral Cobalt Sites for Boosting Electrochemiluminescence

Abstract In luminol-dissolved oxygen electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems, endogenous O2 serves as a co-reactant, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ through cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, this process is constrained by spin-restricted kinetics...

PHPT1/Ocnus negatively regulates the JAK/STAT pathway to control cell survival

The JAK/STAT signaling pathway is a highly conserved regulator essential for animal development. Here, we show that the Drosophila phosphohistidine phosphatase 1, PHPT1/Ocnus, is required for cell survival by regulating JAK/STAT signaling. Knockdown of ocnus ( ocn ) leads to apop...

Shaping safety climate of construction workgroups: the role of leader safety commitment, safety management actions and job autonomy

Purpose Drawing on the Signaling Theory, this study investigates how and when a leader's psychological safety commitment translates into a positive group safety climate. We propose a moderated mediation model where leader safety management actions act as the mediator, and job aut...

Extremal problems about the order and size of nonhamiltonian locally linear graphs

The relation between local structure and global cycle properties is a classical topic in graph theory. A graph $G$ is locally linear if $G[N(v)]$ is a path for every $v\in V(G)$. It is locally Hamiltonian or locally traceable if every vertex neighborhood induces a Hamiltonian or...

Examining Teacher Self-Efficacy and Work Engagement Among Chinese School-Level EFL Teachers: The Mediating Roles of Teaching Anxiety and Enjoyment

The affective turn in language education has prompted increasing scholarly attention to teachers’ emotional experiences. While teacher self-efficacy has been recognized as a predictor of work engagement, the mediating roles of specific teaching emotions remain underexplored. Grou...

Enantioconvergent Assembly of Chiral Difluoromethyl Stereocenters by Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Cross-Coupling

Abstract The catalytic asymmetric construction of C(sp3)–CF2H stereocenters remains a longstanding challenge in synthetic and medicinal chemistry. Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed enantioconvergent reductive cross-coupling strategy that enables efficient access to chiral difl...

Assessment of the health status of daye lake based on the phytoplankton integrity index (P-IBI)

As an important indicator for evaluating lake water environments, the phytoplankton biotic integrity index (P-IBI) has been widely used in recent years to assess aquatic ecosystem health. Based on field surveys and laboratory analyses, this study investigated the phytoplankton co...

An LLM-enhanced AI agent for rapid diagnosis of acute aortic dissection in multi-center settings

Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a high-mortality cardiovascular emergency, yet early diagnosis before computed tomography angiography (CTA) remains challenging. We developed AAD-Agent as a pre-imaging triage aid—not as a replacement for CTA—and evaluated it in a retrospective, m...

Cultivating Critical AI Literacy Through a Critical Thinking-Oriented Flipped Classroom: Implications for Sustainable Higher Education

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly embedded in education and society, cultivating critical AI literacy has become a key objective of sustainable higher education, enabling learners to engage with AI responsibly, critically, and throughout lifelong learning. Howe...

DynaSPARC: a dynamic single-trial P300 paradigm for assessing motor response capability in autism spectrum disorder

Abstract Objective. EEG-based assessment of motor response capability is critical for understanding the heterogeneous cognitive profiles of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), e.g. typically P300 event assessment. However, mainstream methods generally struggle to addres...

Steering or Stifling? The Role of Overparenting in Emerging Adults’ School-to-Work Transition

The school-to-work transition (STWT) is a critical developmental task for emerging adults and a family project for parents. Amid a global shift toward intensive parenting, this study examined how overparenting—particularly career-specific overparenting—is associated with emerging...
