Illness Coherence, Exercise Adherence, and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Chronic Spinal Pain: A Moderated Mediation Analysis

Background/Objectives: Illness coherence has been associated with treatment engagement and adherence, but its relationship with exercise adherence and patient-reported outcomes in chronic spinal pain remains unclear. This study examined whether unsupervised exercise adherence med...

Development and Initial Validation of an Expressive Vocabulary Test for Movement Concepts and Skills in Adults with Down syndrome

The present study aimed to develop and psychometrically evaluate the Expressive Vocabulary Test - Movement Concepts Skills - Down syndrome (EVT-MCS-DS) and to examine possible differences in expressive vocabulary performance according to demographic characteristics, including sex...

A comparative survey of offshore wind regulatory frameworks: Case studies of South Korea, Australia, and Vietnam

In recent decades, Asia has become the center of electricity consumptions owing to the countries such as China. However, there are other countries that play a vital role in the global economy such as South Korea and Vietnam. Another interesting area of offshore energy development...

Impact of Response to Hypomethylating Agent‐Based Therapy on Survival Outcomes in the Context of Baseline Clinical‐Molecular Risk and Transplant Status in Patients With Higher‐Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes/Neoplasms: An analysis From the International Consortium for MDS (icMDS)

Baseline IPSS-M risk, response to hypomethylating agent (HMA) therapy, and receipt of allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT) have all been individually shown to impact overall survival (OS) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). However, the prognostic impact of re...

Long-term population dynamics of a human-associated colonial raptor: Case of Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni

Long-term monitoring is essential for understanding how demographic processes operating across generations, and under environmental stochasticity, shape population change. This is especially true in human-modified landscapes where nesting opportunities and food resources can shif...

Myeloma Elderly Prognostic Score ( MEPS ): A Proposed Prognostic Score Integrating Age, Renal Function, Performance Status, and Ultra‐High‐Risk Cytogenetics

Established disease-centered prognostic systems may be less tailored to elderly/non-transplant-eligible (NTE) patients with multiple myeloma (MM), in whom host-related factors such as age, performance status, and renal function strongly influence all-cause outcomes. We developed...

Inkjet-printed transparent zinc oxide optoelectronic synapse with photoinduced artificial plasticity

The development of scalable and cost-effective fabrication strategies for artificial synapses is critical for next-generation neuromorphic systems aimed at overcoming the von Neumann bottleneck in data-intensive applications. In this context, inkjet printing offers an attractive...

Differential Impact of Bacterial Infection on Preterm Birth in Singleton and Twin Pregnancies and Its Association with Cervical Cerclage or Arabin Pessary: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Background: Bacterial infection’s differential impact in singleton versus twin pregnancies and the modifying role of cervical interventions remain unclear. The objective is to investigate the association between bacterial infection and preterm birth in singleton and twin pregnanc...

Symmetry-Aware Simulation and Modeling of Noise-Robust Electric Load Forecasting Using Hybrid MMPF-NARX and GA/PSO

Reliable electric load forecasting is an important engineering problem for power-system planning, grid stability, and mission-critical energy management. This paper presents a symmetry-aware simulation and modeling framework for medium-range electric load forecasting under noisy...

Effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation-Based Reformer Pilates and Hatha Yoga on Functional Fitness, Balance, and Cognitive Performance in Older Women: A 16-Week Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract Background Aging is associated with progressive declines in neuromuscular function, postural control, and cognitive performance, which may compromise functional independence. Mind–body exercise approaches such as Pilates and Yoga have been suggested as effective strategi...

Combined Molecular Dynamics and Micromagnetic Modeling of Nanocomposite Permanent Magnet Particle Arrangement and Properties

Nanocomposite rare-earth permanent magnets composed of exchange-coupled hard magnetic nanoparticles offer a promising route toward high-performance, rare-earth-efficient magnet technologies. In this work, we investigate the structural self-organization and magnetic hysteresis beh...

When the Child Is Not Heard: Children's Rights and Epistemic Injustice in Paediatric Nursing Practice

Children's dignity in hospital care is often framed as a matter of privacy, etiquette, communication, or procedural compliance. A more demanding account is needed. Drawing on the philosophical framework of epistemic injustice, this conceptual article argues that dignity-related h...
