Historical Anti-Fascism and Right-Wing Voting in Italy

We study how anti-fascist opposition during Mussolini’s dictatorship affects post-war support for right-wing parties in Italy. We construct a measure of anti-fascism from the universe of recorded opponents, and use newly digitized historical data to resolve simultaneity between t...

An autoinflammatory CDC42 variant M45L demonstrates the mechanism of pyrin inflammasome activation

CDC42 is an evolutionarily conserved guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) regulating critical cellular and immune processes. Variants in CDC42 therefore cause a spectrum of developmental phenotypes, including hematological and immunological symptoms. Here, we identify a previously u...

Precisely Timed On‐Demand Droplet Ejection and Collision in Free Space for Controlled Reaction Initiation

Precise initiation and synchronization of chemical reactions in free space remain major challenges for time-resolved studies in structural biology, chemistry, and materials science. Although modern probes provide femtosecond resolution, experimental access to early reaction dynam...

Assessing Vancomycin‐Formyl Peptide Conjugate Binding to the Surface of Resistant Staphylococcus aureus via Flow Cytometry

Staphylococcus aureus strains have emerged with resistance mechanisms that reduce the efficacy of last resort antibiotics and evade the immune system. One strategy to combat antimicrobial resistance is to modulate host immunity to eliminate infections more effectively. This has l...

Implementing evidence in residential aged care facilities: a longitudinal multi-method evaluation of knowledge broker evolution

Background Knowledge brokers act as intermediaries to bridge evidence-to-practice gaps. Limited evidence describes how the knowledge broker role in health settings evolves over time. This study aimed to (a) examine the evolution of knowledge broker activities over a 12-month impl...

The Effect of Using Write‐Zoom for Volume Flow Measurements in Haemodialysis Fistulas

ABSTRACT Introduction Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are crucial for patients undergoing haemodialysis, yet about 25% fail to mature or experience early failure. Ultrasound is key in managing AVFs, with volume flow (Qa) serving as a predictor of maturation. Accurate Qa measurement...

Review of Particle Physics *

The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,200 new measurements from 903 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and b...

Institutional complexity and entrepreneurial work in grassroots cultural heritage: Evidence from Hanfu entrepreneurship in China

Abstract Cultural heritage entrepreneurship (CHE) often requires entrepreneurs to reconcile authenticity claims with commercial imperatives. This challenge is especially pronounced in grassroots heritage revivals where heritage meanings are contested and cultural authority is une...

Transferrin-Conjugated Polymeric Nanoparticles via Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly for Enhanced BBB Transport and Glioblastoma Therapy

Abstract Transferrin-coated nanoparticles show promise in delivering chemotherapeutic drugs across biological barriers for treating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Employing a synthetic approach integrating advanced chemistries and bespoke in vitro biological assays, we developed...

Vancomycin optimised dosing regimens for critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy

Optimal dosing of vancomycin in critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) is uncertain due to high pharmacokinetic variability. We aimed to develop individualised vancomycin dosing recommendations that optimise efficacy while minimising toxicity. Prospecti...

Building inclusive learning communities: the collaborative role of parents and school leaders in supporting students with additional needs

Inclusive education is widely endorsed as a policy priority; however, less is known about how school leaders practically enable collaboration with parents to support inclusive schooling. This qualitative study examines how secondary school leaders enact and sustain collaboration...

“Just a number” – larger-bodied women’s experiences of weight-centric and weight-inclusive maternity care: a national online photovoice study

Abstract Background Weight stigma is a pervasive issue in healthcare, including maternity care, characterised by bias, discrimination, and exclusion. Experiencing weight stigma can negatively impact health outcomes, self-esteem, and engagement with care. While existing literature...

Workplace Violence in Indonesian Clinical Learning Environments: Cultural and Organisational Contexts Shaping Nursing Students' Experiences

Workplace violence in clinical learning environments is increasingly recognised as a threat to nursing education and workforce sustainability, yet it is often understood as a series of isolated incidents rather than as a condition shaped by broader cultural and organisational for...

CTC-AttnNet: development and validation of an attention-based neural network for staging gastrointestinal malignancies

To develop and validate a noninvasive model for classifying T stage in gastrointestinal malignancies using circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and serum tumor markers and to compare the predictive value of CTCs with that of conventional tumor markers. This retrospective study included...

Lipids and apolipoproteins affect the risk of ST-elevation and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarctions differently in type 1 diabetes: a nationwide finnish cohort study

Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) has become the main myocardial infarction subtype in type 1 diabetes compared to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), accounting for nearly 80% of myocardial infarction-related hospitalizations. Yet, prior studies in type 1 d...

Acyl-Alkyl-Phosphatidylcholine C40:6 is Potentially a Causal Biomarker for Obesity-Related Knee Osteoarthritis: Data from 4 Independent Cohorts

Objectives To identify potential causal biomarkers for obesity-related knee osteoarthritis (OB+OA+) by metabolome-wide association analysis (MWA) and Mendelian randomization (MR). Methods Four cohorts were included: the Newfoundland Osteoarthritis Study (NFOAS) as discovery, the...

Development of an instrument for measuring university students’ motivation for sustainability engagement using self-determination theory

Sustainability education has become an important focus of higher education globally. However, the factors influencing students’ motivation to engage in sustainability-related activities, both within formal educational settings and in their broader communities, remain relatively u...

Early life sugar rationing and ageing related diseases, biological ageing and mortality

Early-life nutrition may influence lifelong ageing, yet human evidence is scarce. Using Britain’s postwar sugar rationing as a natural experiment, we examine its long-term effects in 64,809 United Kingdom Biobank participants. Exposure to sugar rationing during the first 1,000 da...

Deep learning for automated rock core image analysis: Weathering classification, fracture detection, and 3D geological modelling

Rock core images are a primary source of subsurface information, but conventional manual logging is slow, labour-intensive and prone to subjective error. This study presents CoreVision, an end-to-end data-driven workflow for automated interpretation and digitisation of drilling-c...

Flat Bands Induced by Non‐Collinear Antiferromagnetism in CoBi 2 Te 4

ABSTRACT The interplay of the topology of electronic wavefunctions with spin configurations in intrinsically magnetic topological materials causes various exotic electronic states, attracting much attention in condensed matter physics. Non‐collinear antiferromagnetic ( nc AFM) st...
