Conceptual growth curves of oropharyngeal soft tissues and craniofacial skeletal structures: clinical implications for pediatric airway management

Abstract Background Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is closely linked to the growth and interaction of upper airway soft tissues. The relevance of Scammon’s classical growth curves to site-specific oropharyngeal development has been called into question, despite the fact...

Unpacking the pathways from green intellectual capital to green recovery performance: The power of employee voice and intrinsic motivation

Our paper proposes and tests a moderated mediation model that examines how green intellectual capital relates to green recovery performance, highlighting green promotive and prohibitive voice behaviors as mediators and intrinsic motivation to share knowledge as a moderator. Resul...

Does a Multi-Location CT Scan Provide a Survival Benefit as Surveillance after Curative-Intent Surgery in Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer?

Purpose: The NCCN guidelines recommend a chest computed tomography (CT) scan every 6 months for 2-3 years for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to evaluate whether multi-location CT scans offer a survival benefit. Materials and Methods...

Pattern-related profiles of acupuncture points for pain management

In Traditional East Asian Medicine, acupoints are selected based on clinical symptoms and pattern identification. Since treatment plans target specific diseases and patterns, acupoints may be selected based on clinical indications or pattern-related considerations. This study aim...

Frailty status, but not physical activity volume, is associated with chronic disease, self-reported memory difficulty, and depressive mood in older Korean adults: a cross-sectional analysis of the 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Frailty in older adults increases vulnerability to chronic diseases, cognitive complaints, and depressive symptoms. Studies in Korean older adults have typically combined frailty status and physical activity into composite groupings that do not separate their associations. Low ph...

Advanced sintering of solid oxide fuel cells: Microstructure and interfaces

Sintering in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is traditionally regarded as a consolidation step. However, grain-boundary topology, crystallographic stabilization, defect chemistry, and interfacial compatibility are established during sintering, pre-determining electrochemical perfo...

Success criteria for dental implants over the past 48 years

More than a century has passed since dental implants were first introduced and documented in the English literature.As the Korean Academy of Implant Dentistry (KAID) celebrates its 50th anniversary, there is a critical need to clarify the dental implant success criteria establish...

Femtosecond X-ray Tracking of Oxygen Vacancy-Driven Shallow-to-Deep Trap Transition and Its Impact on Charge Carrier Dynamics in Blue TiO2

Abstract Oxygen vacancies introduced by self-reduction are central to the enhanced light absorption and photocatalytic activity of blue TiO2, yet how they reshape the ultrafast dynamics of photogenerated charge carriers has remained unresolved. Here, we directly track these dynam...

Direct Observation of Radical‐Mediated Oxide‐to‐Alloy Transformation in Solution Under Pulsed Laser Irradiation

ABSTRACT Pulsed laser irradiation (PLI) is widely used to synthesize metal‐based functional materials in solution, yet the molecular‐level mechanism by which a laser pulse reduces a metal‐oxide precursor has remained unresolved. Here we combine time‐resolved in situ x‐ray absorpt...

From Disruption to Recovery: A Social Big Data Analysis of Sport Tourism Discourse During and After COVID-19

This study investigates how online discourse on sport tourism was structured during the COVID-19 pandemic and reshaped as tourism entered a period of recovery and restructuring. The analysis covered two three-year periods: 1 July 2020–30 June 2023, representing the pandemic and e...

Analysis of the role experiences of clinical nurse educators in the process of improving the nursing education system

With the recent increase in critically ill patients and the ongoing process of healthcare system reform, the training of nurses capable of caring for critically ill patients and the securement of a stable nursing workforce have become emphasized as important social tasks. To addr...

Molecular Pathogenesis, Global Epidemiological Trends, and Treatment Strategies for Pteropine Orthoreoviruses: A Narrative Review

Pteropine orthoreoviruses are emerging bat-borne zoonotic viruses of the genus Orthoreovirus (family Reoviridae), increasingly recognized as causes of acute respiratory disease in humans. Originally grouped with the largely non-pathogenic mammalian orthoreoviruses, they have chal...

Friend-Safe Adversarial Attack for selective evasion in personalized federated learning

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative model training across distributed clients while preserving data privacy; however, the personalization of client models in non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) settings creates an unexplored attack surface where advers...

Effect of Structural Motif on Magnetic Properties in Molybdenum Chlorides of Mo5+ Ions: Ferromagnetism from Mo2Cl10 Dimers and Antiferromagnetism from Isolated MoCl6– Anions

Abstract The evolution of magnetic properties in molybdenum chloride systems caused by structural motif changes was investigated by magnetic property measurements and DFT calculations. In ξ-MoCl5, characterized by the presence of molybdenum dimers, the formation of ferromagnetic...

Zero-waste fashion education in higher education: a cross-national systematic review of South Korean and international approaches

This study systematically reviews fourteen university-level case studies (2014–2024) to examine the educational practices of zero-waste fashion (ZWF) education in South Korea and international contexts. Using a structured coding framework, the review identifies clear differences...

Surface Reconstruction-Driven Insulating Behavior in Metallic Charge-Density-Wave 1T-TaSe2

Abstract Bulk 1T-TaSe2 is metallic, yet its surface consistently exhibits an insulating gap─a dichotomy long attributed to a surface Mott insulator driven by enhanced electron correlations. Using density functional theory calculations, we show that this insulating surface instead...
