When Public-Sector Employment Becomes Unfriendly to Mothers: How State Control and the Market Economy Impede Mothering in State-Owned Enterprises in Post-Reform China

While prior studies portray public-sector work as mother-friendly, this study examines how the state, market and their interplay impede such work from accommodating mothering through work–family interface and gender regime theories. Drawing on an ethnography in a state-owned ente...

Morphological decoupling-based skeletal classification for clinical assessment of malocclusion

Malocclusion skeletal grading is a fundamental task in orthodontics, critical for diagnosis and treatment planning. Traditionally, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is used for visual measurement, and the reconstructed lateral cephalograms are handed over to expert dentists fo...

The splicing factor SPR2 interacts with the RNA-binding protein PPR8 to facilitate mitochondrial intron splicing and is essential for maize seed development

Intron splicing plays a crucial role in organellar gene expression in plants, yet its mechanism remains poorly understood. We previously reported a small PPR protein, SPR2, which is a general splicing factor in the splicing of over half of the mitochondrial introns via interactio...

HER2-low metastatic breast cancers: clinic-pathological characteristics, metastatic sites, and survival impact on biomarker discordance

Abstract Trastuzumab Deruxtecan has shown promising results in patients with HER2-low and -ultralow (UL) metastatic breast cancers, attracting extensive research on these tumors. While most studies focus on primary tumors, there is limited data on metastatic disease. Here, we aim...

Pure Spin Photocurrent in an Altermagnetic Photovoltaic Battery

Abstract Altermagnets, featuring momentum-dependent spin splitting without net magnetization, provide a promising platform for spintronic functionalities beyond conventional ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. Here, we propose an altermagnetic spin photovoltaic battery consisting...

Understanding the pathways for scaling rural innovations: Insights from 34 rural revitalization cases in Asia

Despite a growing number of innovative rural revitalization practices in Asia, the patterns and mechanisms through which such innovations are scaled have not been thoroughly explored. This study distinguishes three forms of rural innovation scaling, namely expansion, replication,...

Heterogeneous social participation profiles and socioecological correlates among community-dwelling older adults: a latent profile analysis

Abstract Background Social participation in later life is often summarized using an aggregate score, which may obscure distinct configurations of everyday, social, and volunteering activities. This study aimed to identify latent social participation profiles among community-dwell...

Pressure-Robust Staggered DG Methods for the Navier–Stokes Equations on General Meshes

Abstract In this paper, we design and analyze staggered discontinuous Galerkin methods of arbitrary polynomial orders for the stationary Navier–Stokes equations on polygonal meshes. The exact divergence-free condition for the velocity is satisfied thanks to the carefully designed...

A note on Landau damping of two-species Vlasov–Poisson system

Abstract In this note we adopt an approach by Grenier et al (2021 Math. Res. Lett. 28 1679–1702) for studying the nonlinear Landau damping of the two-species Vlasov–Poisson system in the phase space T x d × R v d with the dimension d ⩾ 1 . The main goal is twofold: one is to exte...

Can Nonprofits Gain an Advantage in Employee Retention Through Management Practices? A Comparative Lens for Managing Nonprofit Versus for‐Profit Employees

ABSTRACT Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) face growing competition for human capital from for‐profit organizations (FPOs). However, little research adopts a comparative lens to explore management practices that are associated with an advantage in retaining employees for NPOs relati...

Randomised phase III trials of cancer prevention drugs: a systematic review and prediction of trial success

BACKGROUND: Pharmacological cancer risk reduction has received far less investment than therapeutic oncology and only a few agents have entered routine practice. Understanding the predictors of positive outcomes of previous trials and issues faced is critical to future developmen...

Prognostic Role of Adverse Events in a Worldwide Population of Patients with Biliary Tract Cancer Treated with Chemo-Immunotherapy

Background: Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are aggressive malignancies with limited treatment options. The addition of durvalumab or pembrolizumab to cisplatin–gemcitabine improves overall survival (OS), but validated biomarkers of benefit remain limited. Immune-mediated adverse ev...

How performance expectancy and autonomy satisfaction influence translanguaging interactions with AI chatbots

This study investigates the role of performance expectancy and autonomy satisfaction in predicting key learner outcomes – intercultural sensitivity, intrinsic motivation, metacognition, self-efficacy, and task strategies – within the context of translanguaging interactions with A...

Ultraviolet‐Induced Band Engineering in Black Phosphorus/Gallium Nitride Heterojunction Toward High‐Performance Broadband Photodetection

ABSTRACT Broadband photodetectors that combine ultraviolet sensitivity with visible and near‐infrared response are important for multispectral optoelectronic sensing. However, the performance of these photodetectors is often limited by weak interfacial carrier separation and inef...

Effect of a digitally augmented general health promotion intervention on abstinence from health-risk behaviors among emergency department discharge patients: A randomized controlled trial

Background Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading global cause of death and are driven by modifiable behaviors, such as tobacco use, harmful alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity. Recognizing that emergency department (ED) visits represent a unique...

What students ask matters: Static and longitudinal questioning patterns in student–LLM dialogue and self-reported cognitive engagement

This study examines students’ questioning as an interaction mechanism in student–LLM philosophical dialogue and how it relates to self-reported critical thinking (CT) and creative thinking (CrT) engagement. Participants were 106 first-year postgraduate students in a Chinese unive...

Neuromotor modules revealed by direct electrical stimulation of the human primary motor cortex

Muscle synergies extracted from multimuscle electromyographic (EMG) signals are widely interpreted as fundamental building blocks of motor control that coordinate groups of muscles during movement. Whether EMG-derived muscle synergies represent genuine neurally encoded modules or...

Quality and concordance of international paediatric sepsis guidelines: a cross-sectional appraisal from the SENTINEL International study

Objectives To evaluate the methodological quality of hospital-specific paediatric sepsis clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) from sites participating in an international study using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) tool and to assess the consi...

Operator Inference for Elliptic Eigenvalue Problems

Efficient computation of elliptic eigenvalue problems is critical in science and engineering. In this paper, we propose a novel operator learning framework that directly maps arbitrary domains to their associated eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. Our approach employs a hybrid archi...
