Motivational depletion conditions efficacy-based interventions in political ambition

Abstract Self-efficacy is a central precursor of political ambition, yet efficacy-centered interventions designed to encourage capable citizens to run for office often produce mixed, null, or even counterproductive effects. This study argues that the effects of efficacy prompts d...

A Deep Learning-Based Retrospective Evaluation Prediction System for Emotional Experiences: Temporal Dynamic Feature Extraction and ERP Neural Mechanisms of the Peak-End Effect

Retrospective evaluations of emotional experiences are significantly influenced by the peak-end effect, yet existing electroencephalography (EEG)-based emotion recognition studies have focused on classifying immediate emotional states, leaving integration of the peak-end effect i...

Context-dependent functional diversity of dorsomedial posterior parietal neurons revealed by single-unit fMRI mapping during naturalistic viewing

Abstract The dorsomedial posterior parietal cortex (dmPPC) plays an important role in episodic processing by integrating sensory, cognitive, and motor information across distributed brain systems. However, how individual dmPPC neurons participate in large-scale functional organiz...

Integrated O 2 and H 2 Gas Therapy via Microneedle‐Assisted Photocatalytic Water Splitting for Accelerating Diabetic Full‐Thickness Skin Wound Healing

ABSTRACT Impaired wound healing in diabetes is closely associated with cellular ferroptosis. Microneedle‐assisted gas therapy exerts molecular regulation of ferroptosis, representing a promising approach for accelerating diabetic wound healing. To date, O 2 and H 2 gas therapies...

The impact and evolution of environmental/occupational, behavioural, and metabolic risk factors on CVD burdens in the Asia–Pacific region from 1990 to 2023: a secondary analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023

Background Understanding epidemiological trends of the cardiovascular risk factors is integral in designing effective countermeasures in tackling cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in the Asia–Pacific. The study aims to examine the cardiovascular risk factor burden in the Asia–Pacific...

The global cardiovascular-kidney-liver-metabolic burden from 1990 to 2023

Background The cardiovascular-kidney-liver-metabolic (CKLM) framework represents the multi-organ interplay of systemic metabolic disorders that drive the global burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Methods This study is a descriptive epidemiological analysis of the Global Bur...

Proper Orthogonal Decomposition-based Model-Order Reduction for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Simulation—Mass-Spring-Damper System

Model Order Reduction (MOR) based on Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) has proven effective in various applications. Most MOR methods utilizing POD are implemented within a pure Eulerian framework, while significantly less attention has...

Peak Shaving and Valley Filling: Reconstructing Cognitive Load in Cultural Heritage VR Through Contextualized Scaffolding

Virtual reality supports immersive cultural heritage communication, yet engagement outpaces understanding. A structural cause is that information about an object is scattered across transient carriers (NPC dialogue, annotations, triggered videos), requiring working-memory integra...
