The paradox of human capital? Gendered precarious labor in the Korean Confucian gender regime

Purpose This study investigates the gendered dynamics of precarious labor in South Korea, an underexplored context in international scholarship. It examines how Confucian-influenced patriarchal norms relate to women's exposure to insecure employment despite rising educational att...

MolecularStriptease of a Thiadiazolopyrimidine HitYields a Streamlined, Artifact-Free NADPH Mimic for NOX Inhibition

Abstract The convergence of oxidative stress and inflammation drives neurodegeneration and cancer, positioning NADPH oxidases (NOXs) as critical therapeutic targets. Starting from the polyfunctional thiadiazolopyrimidine hit 1, we systematically truncated its peripheral arms to m...

Recovery-phase contamination of the resting baseline window in block-design fNIRS: a computable criterion and a diagnostic protocol

In block-design functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), the resting baseline window is placed by convention rather than by derivation. We show that the recovery phase of the preceding hemodynamic response and anticipatory recruitment for the upcoming task act on that windo...
