Fine Asymptotics of the Magnetization of the Annealed Dilute Curie-Weiss Model

Abstract We consider the dilute Curie-Weiss model of size N , which is a generalization of the classical Curie-Weiss model in which the dependency structure between the spins is encoded not by the complete graph but by the (directed) Erdős-Rényi graph on N vertices in which every...

Selective dependency of CALR-mutant myeloproliferative neoplasms on TYK2 signaling

Abstract Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are driven by the oncoproteins JAK2V617F, mutant calreticulin (CALR), and mutant thrombopoietin receptor (TPOR; MPL), all of which activate JAK/STAT signaling. While JAK2 signaling is engaged in all MPNs, TYK2 is dispensable for JAK2V61...

Increasing topical sunscreen use in German outdoor workers: results of a non-randomised controlled intervention study

BACKGROUND: Occupational exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is a major environmental risk factor for skin cancer. Outdoor workers accumulate high lifetime UVR exposure and therefore face an increased risk of developing actinic keratoses and skin cancer. Despite establi...

Dissolution, Reconfiguration and Formation: Decarbonisation Effects on Regional Industrial Interpath Dynamics

Abstract Decarbonising mature industries is crucial for achieving overall carbon neutrality. This article provides an interpath dynamics perspective on how mature industries' decarbonisation paths affect interconnected industries via three key interpath transformation dynamics: i...

What factors build user trust in human–technology relationships? An exploratory meta-analysis of the key antecedents to trust in IT artifacts

Purpose In response to various calls for more research extending our understanding of trust in IT artifacts, we synthesize the empirical evidence of prior studies in the rich stream of trust-related research to gain a more consistent picture regarding the role of trust antecedent...

Psychotherapy remission prediction models show limited cross-clinic generalizability in routine outpatient care

Abstract Clinical prediction models for psychotherapy outcomes have the potential to assist therapists in planning a patient’s individual treatment, but their clinical utility depends on maintaining predictive performance across settings. We assessed prediction of post-treatment...

Neural responses during natural vision are action-timed rather than locked to the onset of stable foveal input

Visual processing is traditionally studied using static viewing paradigms in which researchers analyse brain responses to the onsets of a sequence of randomly selected stimuli. Translating this “stimulus onset” approach to active vision paradigms that allow for free eye-movements...

From innovation to integration: what German mental health professionals think about peer-led youth discovery colleges

Abstract Mental health challenges among children and adolescents are increasing in Germany, highlighting the need for innovative, recovery-oriented approaches that complement existing mental health services. Discovery Colleges (DCs), a youth adaptation of the Recovery College mod...

Session-by-session client feeling and clarification processes over the course of emotion-focused therapy

Background: Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is an effective form of psychotherapy for a range of psychological problems.While earlier research demonstrated the effect of in-session processes as being central for explaining the effects of EFT, it is unclear what the role of client's...

Understanding consumer reactions and corporate reputation in corporate sustainability crises: The role of blame, harm, and CSR relevance

This study investigates how consumers' behavioral responses vary across different types of corporate sustainability crises characterized by differences in potential harm, attribution of blame, and relevance to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). We also examine the moderating...

Key management practices controlling yield performance and nitrate leaching in a grass-clover based organic crop rotation

Organic farming is frequently discussed as a strategy for mitigating nitrate leaching, especially in water protection areas. The effectiveness of nitrogen (N) management practices within organic crop rotations requires evaluation to balance yield performance with nitrate leaching...

Generalized Bell inequalities and frustrated spin systems

Abstract We find a close correspondence between generalized Bell inequalities (GBI’s) of a special kind and certain frustrated spin systems. For example, the Clauser–Horn–Shimony–Holt inequality corresponds to the frustrated square with the signs ++ + − for the nearest neighbor i...

Development and validation of a self-report questionnaire to assess executive functions in healthy adults: the executive functions in healthy adults questionnaire (EFHAQ)

Abstract Aim of this research was to develop and validate a time-efficient, ecologically valid self-report questionnaire measuring executive functions in healthy adults, grounded in the unity/diversity framework of Miyake (i.e., inhibition, updating, shifting). Across a pre-study...

When choice matters: Effects on interest and performance across mathematical problem types

Background Given the decline in students’ interest in mathematics during secondary school, autonomy-supportive interventions such as choice may help counteract this trend. Aims This study investigates the effects of within-context choice on task-specific interest and performance...
