Grey is the new black: entrepreneurial agency and transparency of artificial intelligence

Purpose This paper develops the MIRACLE framework, a stage-based conceptual model that examines how human and artificial cognitive agents interact across the entrepreneurial process, how artificial intelligence (AI) transparency affects entrepreneurial agency and how heterogeneou...

Expression Analysis of Selected miRNAs in COVID-19 Patients

Modulations in microRNA (miRNA) expression can contribute to disease pathogenesis and biological processes by regulating target proteins. We aimed to compare serum miRNA levels (miR-19a-3p, miR-19b-3p, miR-21, miR-26a-5p, miR-146a, let-7b-3p, miR-155, miR-16, miR-590, miR-1307-3p...

Post-fire performance of thin-plated stiffened T-stubs after controlled heating and natural cooling

This study experimentally investigates the post-fire residual behavior of thin-plated, stiffened T-stub connections subjected to controlled uniform heating up to 1200 °C, followed by gradual natural cooling to ambient temperature. The influence of temperature, bolt diameter, and...

Single-session extraoral photobiomodulation reduces early postoperative pain but not edema or trismus after impacted mandibular third molar extraction: a randomized controlled trial

Postoperative pain, edema, and trismus are frequent complications following impacted mandibular third molar surgery. While photobiomodulation (PBM) is a proposed adjunctive therapy, clinical evidence remains controversial. This study evaluated the effects of single-session extrao...

Association Between Obesity Severity and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis-Derived Metabolic Age in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Background: Metabolic age (Met-Age), a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)-derived index based on basal metabolic rate (BMR) and body composition, has been associated with cardiometabolic risk. However, its relationship with body mass index (BMI)-defined obesity severity in in...

Arthroscopic Free Bone Block Transfer Technique Using Iliac Crest Autograft With Anchor‐Button Fixation for Glenohumeral Instability and Glenoid Bone Loss

Abstract Bone block transfer for the treatment of glenohumeral instability with severe glenoid bone loss or multiple recurrences has grown in popularity in recent years. In this technical note, we described an arthroscopic‐assisted free bone block transfer technique, using a spec...

A Flow-Bench-Supported, Configuration-Additive CFD Framework for Decoupling the Hydraulic Loss and Regulator Load of an Integrated Irrigation Hydrant: A Comparison of the Conventional and Redesigned Bodies

In pressurized irrigation networks, water-intake hydrants combine flow regulation, shutoff and metering in a single cast body, and the resulting coupled resistance obscures how much each function costs. The conventional body of a DN100 (nominal diameter 100 mm) hydrant and a rede...

Impostor phenomenon and perfectionism among medical students at a medical faculty in the Central Anatolia Region of Türkiye: a cross-sectional study

The impostor phenomenon is a psychological pattern in which high-achieving individuals attribute their accomplishments to external factors such as luck rather than their own competence, and experience a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud. This study examined the impostor...

Experimental Investigation and Taguchi Optimization of the Tribological Properties of Boron Carbide Reinforced Aluminum Matrix Composites

In this study, the tribological performance of A7075 aluminum matrix composites reinforced with 5% B4C was investigated using the dry pin-on-disk method in accordance with the ASTM G99 standard. The effect of three different loads (10, 20, 30 N) and three different sliding speeds...

Silent Brain Lesions in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Hidden Burden

Objective: Silent brain lesions (SBL), including silent brain infarction (SBI) and subcortical white matter lesions (SWML), are increasingly recognized as important radiological markers of cerebral small vessel disease. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be at increas...

The Effects of Duloxetine on Spontaneous and Oxytocin-Induced Contractions of the Rat Uterine Smooth Muscle

Duloxetine (DX) is used in the treatment of depression, anxiety and diabetic neuropathic pain. However, It also has side effects such as muscle pain, stiffness and cramps. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the possible effects of duloxetine on contractile parameters of r...

Accuracy of GNSS Positioning Using GIPSY-X PPP with the Combinations of GPS, GLONASS, and GALILEO

Abstract The positioning accuracy of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) is important for conducting effective fieldwork, designing geodetic networks, and achieving desired deformation rates. Over the years, the positioning accuracy of the global positioning system (GPS) h...

Identifying potential rainwater harvesting sites for sustainable water management strategies in urban area

Abstract The expansion of impermeable surfaces has made urban regions more vulnerable to flooding, while water resources are depleting due to rising urbanization, population growth, and water usage. To mitigate water demand and prevent flood risks, it is imperative to utilize alt...
