How Childhood Experiences in Nature Might Influence Adulthood Participation in Nature-Based Recreation

<title>Abstract</title> Participation in activities that occur in natural settings during childhood tends to influence the frequency with which an individual engages in nature-based recreation during adulthood, along with their perceptions of the natural environment in adulthood....

Smartphone-measured heart rate variability and quality of life in patients with gynecological cancer: a multicenter prospective study

In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between heart rate variability (HRV) and quality of life (QoL) in patients with gynecological cancer and examine whether continuous HRV monitoring may help identify QoL deterioration. This multicenter, prospective, observatio...

Non-communicable disease care delivered by emergency medical teams during the Gaza Health Response in 2024–2025: an observational analysis of WHO Minimum Data Set Reports

The objective is to describe patterns of noncommunicable disease (NCD) service delivery and the operational roles of the different Emergency Medical Team (EMT) types-Type1 mobile (outpatient mobile primary care), Type1 fixed (outpatient static primary care), and Type2 (inpatient...

High-accuracy electromagnetic analysis method for differential circuits with discontinuities

<title>Abstract</title> This paper presents a high-accuracy electromagnetic (EM) analysis method for differential circuits that accurately considers the effects of structural discontinuities. Discontinuities at interfaces between components—such as MOSFETs with ground planes and...

Water-Saving Attitudes in Residential Gardens: Exploring Climate Change Exposure, Risk Perception, Belief, and Environmental Efficacy

Abstract As climate change intensifies, understanding the psychological and contextual factors that shape water-saving attitudes in residential gardening is increasingly important, particularly in arid and semi-arid countries such as Iran. This study examines how climate-related...

Longitudinal Stent Malapposition After Microcatheter Removal Is Associated With Incomplete Occlusion After Pipeline Flow Diversion

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Flow diversion is an established treatment strategy for intracranial aneurysms; however, incomplete aneurysm occlusion remains a clinically relevant challenge. Adequate stent-vessel wall apposition is considered critical for aneurysm healing, yet the im...

Wanted? The Elusiveness of (Post-)Growth in Anthropocene Research

Abstract There is now wide agreement that the Earth has entered a new geological epoch as a result of human activities, which is often encapsulated in the concept of the “Anthropocene.” Meanwhile, there remains considerable debate about the impact of economic growth on planetary...

Incentive Stackelberg games for empirical mean-field decentralised control in large populations

This paper investigates the existence conditions for incentive design in Stackelberg games and their applications to mean-field large-population team-optimal control. We introduce the concept of incentivability, which characterises when a leader can design incentives that induce...

No Significant Secondary Structural Change of α‐Synuclein Monomer by Site‐Specific DOPA or Phosphorylation Introduction in Its C‐Terminal Region

ABSTRACT α‐Synuclein (αSyn) is a major component of pathogenic Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites and is closely associated with Parkinson's disease. Among the various posttranslational modifications of αSyn, several have been implicated in the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons and...

Flash Communication:A Lewis Acidity-Diminished, StableDiborylethyne

Abstract The synthesis and reactivity of (dan)BC≡CB(dan), a previously untapped diborylethyne characterized by remarkably diminished Lewis acidity are reported. In contrast to Lewis acidic analogues that decompose upon exposure to water, the dan-substituted diborylethyne exhibits...

Social Concern in a Bilateral Monopoly with Diseconomies of Scale

Abstract This study examines socially concerned delegation in a bilateral monopoly where upstream production exhibits diseconomies of scale, considering both manufacturer-leadership and simultaneous-move timing structures. While existing studies emphasize the coordination-improvi...
