Internal Branding, Communication and Commitment as Pathways to Healthcare Employees’ Digital Promotion of Cultural Tourism

Private healthcare organizations increasingly compete on their internal culture and on how consistently that culture reaches patients, particularly in destinations where treatment and cultural tourism overlap. Organizational communication and internal branding are established ant...

The Role of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Based on Evidence from Clinical Studies: A Scoping Review

Background/Objectives: The aim of this scoping review was to investigate the current role and possible clinical applications of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Methods: A thorough search of the PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus/EMBASE databases wa...

Design Principles for Data-Centric Semantic Interoperability in IoT: The IoTTD Ontology

The increasing heterogeneity of Internet of Things (IoT) devices continues to challenge semantic interoperability across heterogeneous platforms and application domains. Although numerous IoT ontologies and standards have been proposed, many emphasize comprehensive semantic model...

A Simple Method for Polymer Screening for Selection of Food Packaging Material

The requirements and specifications of food packaging materials are continuously increasing, e.g., due to new regulations. Selection of a proper material is a multi-criteria decision, and various aspects must be considered. In this work, a simple methodology is proposed for polym...

Exploring sustainable management in running events: insights from Greek organizers

Purpose There has been a growing criticism of the degree to which sports events are sustainable today and their ability to promote the sustainable development goals (SDGs). This study aimed to explore Greek running event organizers' attitudes towards sustainable management of the...

Artificial Intelligence in Education: A Systemic Scoping Review

ABSTRACT This paper presents a scoping review of how Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIEd) has been conceptualized through systemic perspectives, with particular attention to direct and indirect connections with General Systems Theory (GST). It maps the existing literature,...

An Exact Continuous-Time Markov Chain Framework for Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Multi-Product Push–Pull Production Systems

Multi-product production systems require effective coordination among production, intermediate storage, downstream processing, and customer demand, particularly under stochastic operating conditions and finite capacity. Unlike existing analytical studies that mainly examine eithe...

Associations between physical activity levels and self-perceived quality of life and well-being in hemodialysis patients and their informal caregivers: a multicenter cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the associations between the physical activity of hemodialysis (HD) patients and their informal caregivers and measures of their well-being and quality of life (QoL). METHODS: This multi-center cross-sectional study included one hundred...

Diagnosis of Extensive DCIS with Progressive Microcalcifications over a Period of 11 Years

A 53-year-old woman presented complaining of enlargement of her right breast; 12 years earlier she was treated elsewhere for an invasive ductal carcinoma of the right breast with breast-conserving surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy, anti-HER2 therapy, radiotherapy and endocrine thera...

Exosome-Based Therapeutics in Alzheimer’s Disease: Translational Perspectives Beyond Conventional Therapies

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains a major neurodegenerative disorder lacking effective long-term disease-modifying therapies. Current pharmacological approaches provide primarily symptomatic benefit, while recently approved anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies offer only modest clin...

Heat Stress, Indoor Microclimate, and Lactation Feed Intake in Commercial Mediterranean Sows: Parity Effects and a Daily Resolution Predictive Model

Heat stress (HS) suppresses voluntary feed intake in lactating sows, yet individual-level characterization of indoor and outdoor Temperature–Humidity Index (THI) linked to feed intake is rare in Mediterranean commercial settings. This prospective observational study enrolled 272...

Writing Identity and Self-Efficacy in Early Childhood Across Home and School Contexts

Abstract Early writing development involves more than acquiring transcriptional skills; it is closely bound up with the emergence of children's identities as writers and their beliefs in their own capacity to write. Drawing on sociocultural theory and social cognitive theory, thi...

Sulforaphane and Broccoli-Derived Preparations in Obesity and Obesity-Related Metabolic Dysfunction: Mechanistic Insights, Preclinical Evidence, and Clinical Perspectives

Background/Objectives: Obesity is a major global health challenge characterized by adipose tissue dysfunction, insulin resistance, chronic low-grade inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and increased cardiometabolic risk. Despite substantial therapeutic adva...

On the Vibration-Based Modal Parameter Identification of Large Wind Turbine Blades

The blades directly affect the safety and power generation efficiency of the wind turbines. With the blade size increases, the reliable modal identification becomes important for vibration-based health monitoring. Although operational modal analysis (OMA) technique has been used...
