Family resilience in the face of short-term war trauma: an interpretative phenomenological analysis of iranian urban family members’ lived experiences during the 12-day Iran-Israel conflict

Between June 13 and 24, 2025, the 12-day Iran-Israel conflict exposed Iranian urban families to missile strikes, air defense sirens, near-total internet blackouts, uncertainty about loved ones, and disruptions in essential services, creating an intense period of compressed trauma...

Regional Hypertrophy of the Gluteal Muscles Is Task-Specific: Differential Responses to 10 Weeks of Hip Extension Versus Hip Abduction Training

Abstract Attarieh, P, Nunes, JP, Khani, S, Moniri, A, Goli, A, Negahdar, S, Mohammadinia, F, Fallah, MH, and Shahrbanian, S. Regional hypertrophy of the gluteal muscles is task-specific: Differential responses to 10 weeks of hip extension versus hip abduction training. J Strength...

Asymmetric Order :From Alamut to Emerging Governance in Great Power Competition — A Study in Strategy, Organization, and the Political Order of the Weak

How can materially weaker actors transform asymmetric capabilities into lasting political authority? Asymmetric Order: From Alamut to Emerging Governance in Great Power Competition develops a comparative framework for answering this question across historical and contemporary cas...

The effects of resistance band–induced post-activation performance enhancement on Gyaku-Zuki punch kinematics in elite male karate athletes

Post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) describes a transient improvement in voluntary explosive performance following a conditioning activity. The magnitude and time course of PAPE depend on the characteristics of the conditioning stimulus, the muscles and movement patter...

High Resolution Time-Reassigned SynchroSqueezing Transform with Iterative Group Delay Estimation

Abstract High-resolution post-processing methods for spectral decomposition play an important role in seismic signal analysis, enabling the detection of low-frequency shadows (LFS) associated with hydrocarbon accumulations. However, conventional timeߝfrequency transforms often su...

Effects of adding gait retraining with visual feedback to resistance-balance training on kinematics, centers of pressure, and proprioception in individuals with chronic ankle instability: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Chronic ankle instability (CAI) causes biomechanical alterations and leads to repeated ankle injuries, impairing daily activities and sports performance. Limited evidence exists on the combined effects of gait retraining with visual feedback added to resistanc...

Ecologically inspired green walls: addressing structural and biological barriers through novel substrate design – an experimental trial

Background Green walls face key barriers to adoption, including water inefficiency, structural limitations and poor plant survival in arid climates.Aims This study addressed these gaps by (1) developing a bio-inspired design based on field analysis of spontaneous vegetation on ag...

Fabrication and Performance of Asymmetric Polyetherimide Air Separation Membranes Using N‐Butyl Pyrrolidinone as a Greener Solvent

ABSTRACT Membrane‐based gas separation has emerged as an energy‐efficient and scalable alternative to conventional separation technologies. However, the fabrication of defect‐free polymeric membranes using environmentally benign solvents remains a major challenge. In recent years...

Associations of emotional intelligence and job crafting with EFL teacher work engagement: The statistical mediating role of mindfulness

This study examined how job crafting, emotional intelligence (EI), and mindfulness relate to English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ work engagement. Structural equation modeling (SEM) results showed that job crafting and EI were positively associated with work engagement,...

Fail-safe flight: Tilt control for quadrotors under rotor failure

This paper presents an integrated proportional–integral–derivative and Lyapunov based control, along with an active fault tolerant control system, for the control of a quadrotor in the event of a completely failed rotor. The proposed approach utilizes four tilting mechanisms to n...

Exploring user trust in generative AI feedback in academic writing: a psychometric network analysis

Generative artificial intelligence is increasingly embedded in the academic writing practices of learners of English as a foreign language, yet research has commonly represented learner evaluations through construct averages. This exploratory mixed-methods study used psychometric...

Buffering and burdening patterns of meta‑inner humor beliefs in the affect–distress association across levels of mindfulness and comic style profiles

Mental distress symptomatology continues to be a central focus in clinical psychology and psychotherapy. Following the buffer-or-burden framework, the present study examined the relationship between affect and mental distress through adaptive and maladaptive meta-inner humor beli...

Altered inter-joint coordination strategies of the lower extremity and pelvis in elite rowers with chronic low back pain

Rowing is a highly coordinated, cyclic task that requires efficient inter-joint coordination across the lower extremities and pelvis to optimize force transmission and performance. Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is prevalent among elite rowers and may alter neuromuscular control st...

A rare presentation of metastatic thymic carcinoma mimicking pheochromocytoma and Von Hippel–Lindau syndrome: a case report

Metastatic thymic carcinoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy that may present with atypical clinical and biochemical features, posing significant diagnostic challenges. We report the first documented case of metastatic thymic carcinoma mimicking both pheochromocytoma and Von H...

Thickness-driven optimization of tungsten first walls for tritium breeding with 14.1 MeV fusion neutron irradiation

Mono-energetic fusion neutrons produced by the primary deuterium–tritium fuel reactions in tokamaks play a critical role in the performance and safety of the first wall and the blanket system. Through energy deposition and the generation of secondary particles and photons, these...

Selenium-containing polycaprolactone 3D-printed scaffold for osteogenesis enhancement and bone healing

Bone fractures present significant surgical and healthcare challenges and require innovative bone regeneration strategies. Current research explores selenium (Se)-enhanced polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds for improved defect repair. Selenium, known for its antioxidant, anti-infla...
