Oxygen vs Air at Birth for Moderate- to Late-Preterm Infants

Importance The optimal initial fraction of inspired oxygen (F io 2 ) for delivery room resuscitation of neonates born at 32 to 35 weeks’ gestation is unknown. Objective To compare outcomes for neonates born at 32 to 35 weeks’ gestation when initiating resuscitation with F io 2 0....

Simulating 3D Electrochemiluminescence Reveals Energy-Transfer-Driven DPA Emission in DPA/Ru(bpy)32+ Mixtures

Abstract The annihilation electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of mixed luminophore systems offers a powerful route to color-tunable emission, but its output is often governed by a complex interplay of competing reaction pathways. Herein, the classic mixed system of 9,10-diphenylanthra...

A Critical Review of Thermo-Mechanical Behaviour of Reinforced 4D-Printed Shape-Memory Polymers

Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM) combined with smart materials has enabled 4D printing of structures capable of programmable, stimulus-driven shape transformation. Among these, particle-reinforced shape-memory polymers (SMPs) have emerged as a key platform for achieving enhan...

A diagnostic framework blue-green infrastructure readiness in developing-country cities

Climate change is intensifying floods and other water-related hazards, exposing the limits of conventional grey infrastructure in developing-country cities. Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) offers a promising adaptation pathway, but its implementation depends on more than technica...

Young children’s early strategic thinking about partitive division

This paper presents an analysis of the early strategic thinking of 94 young children aged between 5 years 7 months and 6 years 5 months. These children were participants in a larger study of children in their first year of formal schooling in Australia at the time of the intervie...

The security–efficiency trade-off in ransomware networks

Ransomware groups pose a threat to both the economy and national security, yet little is known about their structural dynamics. This study analyses the Conti group using leaked Jabber encrypted instant messaging chat data (similar to Messenger) and Relational Event Models to exam...

A qualitative analysis to identify implementation strategies for a deprescribing clinical practice guideline using the CFIR-ERIC Matching Tool: perspectives from consumers and professional stakeholders

Abstract Introduction Deprescribing is the planned withdrawal or dose reduction of medicines when harms outweigh benefits or when they are no longer required. Following publication of the Clinical Practice Guideline for Deprescribing in Older People in September 2025, supporting...

Regional frequency response analytical model for three-region interconnected power systems considering fast frequency response resources

Frequency Response (FR) is critical for mitigating frequency fluctuations and maintaining stability in power systems, particularly as modern power systems integrate more renewable energy. This paper addresses the challenges of increased frequency variability and decreased FR capa...

Enhancing the Australian coastal wave buoy network: development, implementation, national coordination and future directions

Context Although long-running, regional wave buoy networks exist within Australia, there remain critical spatial gaps in observations and limited coordination of data standards. These limitations result in challenges for using existing observations for national-scale applications...

Ensemble clustering: A practical tutorial

Abstract Cluster analysis is an explorative analytical method, serving as a critical tool in psychology, psychiatry, and related fields to map heterogeneous data into meaningful subgroups. Despite their extensive historical use, traditional clustering techniques suffer from a lac...

Exploring the complexity of students’ inconsistent relational understanding of the equal sign

Abstract Students’ understanding of the equal sign is a well-researched topic. Recently, some new insights come to emerge. One is the phenomenon of students holding simultaneous operational and relational understanding (SOR). Researcher called for more investigation to this pheno...

Optimised channel allocation in satellite communication systems: a comparison of models and solution techniques

Abstract Effective channel assignment is essential to optimising satellite communication networks. Although traditionally modelled as a graph colouring or disjunctive scheduling problem, such approaches fall short of addressing contemporary user demands and the increasing complex...

Beyond Behaviour: Exploring How Positive Behaviour Support Might Work for Autistic Children Within Australia's NDIS

ABSTRACT Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) endorsed‐behavioural intervention framework. Understanding how and why PBS is effective is critical, given the increasing number of autistic children accessing the NDIS. Guided by critica...

Interventions to reduce diabetes-related distress among adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis

Diabetes distress (DD) refers to the emotional and psychological burden experienced by individuals living with diabetes. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have investigated the efficacy of interventions on DD among adults with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. We aimed to sys...

Customer-level factors associated with discretionary food and beverage purchasing in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community stores in remote Australia: a customer intercept survey of Healthy Stores 2020

Abstract Background Healthy Stores 2020 (HS2020), a 12-week randomised controlled trial conducted in partnership with an Aboriginal-owned retail organisation, reduced retailer merchandising and store-level purchases of unhealthy foods. Evidence on the influence of customer-level...

Prevalence of Healthy Eating Initiatives in Australian Primary Schools: A Cross‐Sectional Survey

ABSTRACT Issue Addressed Schools are recommended settings for promoting healthy eating, but to achieve population‐level impact, initiatives must be widely implemented. Limited data are available to assess the implementation of Australian school‐based healthy eating initiatives. T...

Marketing Practices and Nutrition Content of Toddler Milk Across the Americas

BACKGROUND: Toddler milk is a breastmilk substitute for young children, yet its marketing and nutritional profile across the Americas has not been systematically synthesized. METHODS: We conducted a content analysis documenting the prevalence of front-of-package claims and imager...

Do fiscal rules limit fiscal space?

This paper examines the relationship between fiscal rules and fiscal space in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) economies during 1980–2020. Using cross-country empirical methods, we find that fiscal rules reduce fiscal space, contrary to conventional expectations. We argue that this refl...

Melanins Enhance Radical Scavenging Through Wavelength‐Selective Excited‐State Manifold Diversity

ABSTRACT Melanin is a ubiquitous pigment that mitigates photoinduced damage in biological systems through light absorption, heat dissipation, and radical scavenging. While these functions have traditionally been considered independent, recent studies suggest that they may be intr...

Aorto‐Ostial Lesion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Clinical Characteristics, Predictors and Clinical Outcomes

ABSTRACT Background Aorto‐ostial coronary lesions represent a high‐risk subset of coronary disease because of fibrocalcific disease, elastic recoil, and difficulty achieving precise stent positioning. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of these lesions may therefore be asso...
