Beyond the finish line: a systematic review of participation motivation and engagement in amateur marathoners

Despite the rapid global growth of amateur marathon participation, evidence on the motivational factors that initiate and sustain participation remains fragmented and has yet to be systematically reviewed and synthesized. To synthesize empirical evidence on participation motivati...

Breaking of π‐Continuity by σ‐Linkers in Covalent Organic Frameworks for Efficient Photoreduction and Recovery of Gold From Electronic Waste

Photoreduction of metal ions plays a central role in the recovery of precious metals from electronic waste, yet its design is still largely governed by a semiconductor paradigm that links extended π-conjugation and long-range charge transport to superior performance. Herein, we c...

Norm First, Practice Lagging Far Behind: Analysis of the Factors Determining the Digital Literacy of Rural Teachers in China

ABSTRACT To promote the use of digital tools in school education, it is important to understand teachers' digital literacy and explore the best ways to develop it. This study used an extended UTAUT model to examine Chinese rural teachers' digital literacy development. Self‐report...

Heterogeneous profiles and transitions of early adolescents’ dual-factor mental health in China: longitudinal influences of emotion regulation strategies and perceived social support

Amid rapid social changes in China, understanding the patterns and influencing factors of early adolescents’ mental health is critical for capturing the evolving mental health landscape among youth. This longitudinal study aimed to identify heterogeneous dual-factor mental health...

Novel Ophiopogon japonicus polysaccharide prevents chronic atrophic gastritis via gut microbiota/indole-3-acetic acid/AHR-CYP1A1-NF-κB axis

Ophiopogon japonicus (L. f.) Ker Gawl ., a traditional food ingredient in China with recognized benefits for gastric comfort, is commonly consumed in soups and herbal teas. Polysaccharides, the principal bioactive constituents, are promising candidates for dietary supplements and...

The Association Between Relative Deprivation and Aggression: A Three-Level Meta-Analysis

Previous research regarding the association between relative deprivation and aggression has yielded inconsistent findings, and the moderating mechanisms underlying this association remain underexplored. In this study, we evaluated the association between relative deprivation and...

Site-Specific NPK Optimization Balances Yield and Starch Content in Sweet Potato: Implications for Sustainable Nutrient Management Under Contrasting Soil Nutrient Backgrounds

Sustainable nutrient management in sweet potato requires matching fertilizer inputs with site-specific soil nutrient supply while maintaining productivity and processing quality. This study characterized site-specific NPK responses and identified fertilization regimes coordinatin...

Tea pests and diseases detection method based on multi scale dynamic routing network

Abstract To address the challenges of high computational cost and strong background interference in automatic recognition of tea pests and diseases in complex tea garden scenarios, this paper proposes a detection method named MSDR-Net (Multi-Scale Dynamic Routing Network). First,...

Central facial emotion accelerates automatic processing of multiple facial expressions: An EEG study

Automatic processing of multiple facial expressions (MFE) is essential for adaptive social interactions, enabling the rapid detection of emotional cues in complex social environments. Behavioral studies have shown that, during explicit judgments of overall emotion, faces in the c...

Spectrally Partitioned All-Optical Memristors for Highly Linear Neuromorphic Vision Systems

Abstract All-optical control of synaptic weights offers a promising route toward low-power and massively parallel neuromorphic hardware. However, existing optoelectronic memristors often require electrical assistance or exhibit nonlinear and asymmetric conductance updates, limiti...

PpTOR, a Major Factor Associated with Phytophthora parasitica Virulence, Serves as a Candidate RNAi Target for Disease Control

Phytophthora parasitica is a devastating oomycete pathogen that causes significant crop losses worldwide. Identifying master regulators of its virulence is crucial for the development of novel control strategies. Here, we demonstrate that the conserved eukaryotic kinase TOR (targ...

Laccase‐induced structural remodeling of cottonseed protein for improving its emulsion stability and curcumin bioaccessibility

BACKGROUND: Cottonseed is an important byproduct of cottonseed processing and is rich in proteins. A literature review indicated that cottonseed protein isolate (CPI) demonstrated a compact structure because of its limited exposure of hydrophobic groups, leading to poor emulsifyi...

Construction and application of evaluation models for online learning behaviour

Online learning not only makes full use of online resources to meet the diverse learning needs of students but also enhances their autonomy and information acquisition abilities. Through learning analysis techniques, the quality of online learning can be improved, thereby enablin...

Daily Boredom and Daily Life Satisfaction: A Daily Diary Study of Meaning in Life as a Mediator

ABSTRACT Although prior research has demonstrated that boredom is associated with lower life satisfaction at the between‐person level, the within‐person association between them and its mediating mechanism remains unexplored. Therefore, the present study employed a daily diary de...

Cascading risks in the global nickel supply chain and their implications for battery-based electrification

Global electrification is rapidly increasing nickel demand because of its role in nickel-rich battery chemistries. Yet the systemic vulnerabilities of the global nickel supply chain and their implications for battery-related electrification remain insufficiently understood. Here,...

Coordination Engineering of Cobalt Single-Atom Catalysts for Periodate Activation with Regulated Reactive-Species Production toward Emerging Contaminants Degradation

Abstract Fenton-like reaction of heterogeneous periodate (PI) activation exhibits high efficiency for emerging contaminants degradation due to the production of iodine-centered radicals, and single-atom metal catalysts demonstrate high activity. However, precisely controlling the...

Unveiling GmCS1 Promote Branch Development by Regulating Plant Hormones in Soybean
