The procrastination trap: How temperament undermines students’ career readiness in Poland

This study examines links between temperament, procrastination tendencies, and self-perceived employability among Polish university students, addressing a notable gap in research on behavioral postponement effects in European higher education contexts. Cross-sectional survey data...

Enacting sports-education integration in Chinese sports schools: evidence from three schools in Henan Province

China’s sports schools are undergoing critical institutional reform under the national agenda of sports-education integration (ti jiao ronghe). Long positioned within the state-led elite sport system, sports schools are increasingly expected to reconcile elite youth sport trainin...

How Should We Communicate Research Findings to Teachers? No Difference in Teachers’ Intentions to Use Evidence Across 512 Versions of a Research Summary

Education research is increasingly generating evidence that can inform teachers’ practice. This raises the question: how should researchers communicate research to increase the likelihood of teachers putting the findings into practice? We conducted a vignette survey experiment in...

Deservingness and backlash: How gendered advantage is built and defended in equity-accredited universities

Despite sustained investment in gender-equity initiatives, hierarchies of authority, legitimacy and reward remain entrenched in higher education. This paper synthesises two staff surveys conducted in Athena Swan-accredited institutions in the United Kingdom and SAGE Athena Swan-a...

An evaluated gait-driven finite element framework for transfemoral limb–socket interface biomechanics and socket design evaluation

Abstract Background Residual limb–socket interface mechanics are central to transfemoral prosthetic comfort and stability, but their dependence on socket material, regional pressure loading, interfacial slip ( δ slip ), and interfacial friction ( µ ) remains insufficiently quanti...

Bromine Retention Versus Electrochemical Accessibility in a Ferri‐/Ferrocyanide–Bromine Flow Battery

Bromine retention in aqueous redox flow batteries can be improved by complexation, but the resulting gain in stability is often accompanied by losses in electrochemical accessibility and transport. Here, we investigate a ferri‐/ferrocyanide–bromine flow battery based on soluble f...

Interpretable Causal Structure Learning for Multivariate Air Quality Forecasting: An Integrated Evolutionary-Cognitive Approach

Accurate Air Quality Index (AQI) forecasting is essential for public health protection and sustainable urban planning. Existing data-driven forecasting models often provide limited interpretability of pollutant interactions, while conventional Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) learning a...

The Role of Performance Measurement in Managing Political‐Economic Tensions: A Case Study of Economic Value Added Adoption in a State‐Owned Enterprise

ABSTRACT This study examines how performance measurement systems (PMSs) mediate political‐economic tensions in Chinese state‐owned enterprises (SOEs), where state directives and market mechanisms coexist. Drawing on a longitudinal case study of a Chinese central SOE following the...

A scoping review of digital health technologies in glycogen storage diseases

Abstract Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are rare inherited metabolic disorders requiring complex management. Digital health technologies (DHTs) offer solutions for improving care delivery, yet their implementation remains poorly characterised. This scoping review systematically...

Drawing boundaries: How creative practitioners navigate precarity in AI-embedded creative work

As generative artificial intelligence (AI) continues to grow within creative industries, existing research has examined its implications for creative labour. However, much of this work emphasises AI’s impact on efficiency gains or creativity, offering limited insight into how pra...

Mobilizing Dynamic‐Capability Microfoundations for Sustainability‐Oriented Innovation: The Role of Innovation Champions

ABSTRACT Organizations face growing pressure to respond to environmental and social challenges, yet research has not sufficiently explained how organizational actors mobilise dynamic‐capability microfoundations across the development of sustainability‐oriented innovations. Drawin...

Device-Measured Physical Activity, Sedentary Time, and Cardiometabolic Risk Markers in Youth

Importance The evidence for benefits of higher physical activity and lower sedentary time on the cardiometabolic risk profile in youth is based on cross-sectional and small prospective studies. Objective To determine the prospective associations between device-measured physical a...

Mitigating sensor bias: a location-aware calibration framework for pedestrian analytics

Abstract The promise of data-driven urbanism is critically undermined by the unreliability of passive sensors. Raw WiFi data systematically undercounts pedestrian volumes by approximately 50% across the eight study sites, rendering it fundamentally unsuitable for strategic decisi...

Organizations know more than they learn: the hidden costs of single-use knowledge

Purpose To explore why organizations increasingly generate knowledge that supports immediate action but fails to contribute to sustained organizational learning. The article introduces the concept of single-use knowledge and examines how digitalization and artificial intelligence...

The impact of molecular transport in turbulent non-premixed NH3/H2/N2 jet flames at elevated pressures

The modelling of turbulent combustion of ammonia is particularly challenging due to the complex chemistry featuring an exceptionally wide range of primary chemical time-scales demanding accurate inclusion of turbulence–chemistry interactions. The latter are here treated using a t...

Variational formulation for the dynamics of soft matter including inertia

The motion of liquids and soft matter is over-damped and “slow” when viscosity dominates. In this (low Reynolds-number) limit and when the system is isothermal, the equations of motion may be generated via Onsager’s variational principle, which neglects inertia. This variational...

Liquid bridges between horizontal cylinders: Effects of gravity and electric fields

Liquid bridges suspended between two parallel horizontal cylinders are studied using experiments, reduced-order mathematical modelling and numerical simulations. Both non-electrified and electrified configurations are considered, with the cylinders acting as electrodes between wh...

An Empirical Study of False Negatives and Positives of Static Code Analyzers From the Perspective of Historical Issues

Static code analyzers are widely used to help find program flaws. However, in practice the effectiveness and usability of such analyzers is affected by the problems of false negatives (FNs) and false positives (FPs). This paper aims to investigate the FNs and FPs of such analyzer...

Children’s screen time measurement tools, reliability, validity, and behaviour categorisation: a scoping review protocol

Abstract Background There is growing interest in children’s screen time, with evidence suggesting health and well-being outcomes may vary according to screen time behaviour, category, and device. However, it is unclear if screen time measurement tools have advanced with the rapid...

Hot Carrier Trapping in InAs Nanowires for Ultraviolet to Infrared Photodetection

Abstract Semiconducting InAs nanowires are promising building blocks for optoelectronics, but their performance is often complicated by an unusual negative photoconductivity (NPC) originating from surface charge traps. Harnessing the competition between this NPC and conventional...
