Reimagining land system science in seascapes

Abstract Context Terrestrial concepts often guide the science and management of marine systems, as exhibited by the influence of landscape ecology on seascape ecology. However, the theoretical assumptions that inform these concepts have not been sufficiently interrogated within t...

Tinkering at the margins? Korea’s reform strategies to close the gap between labour market insiders and outsiders

Over a relatively short period, Korea has developed a comprehensive welfare state centred on eight social insurance schemes. However, its heavy reliance on contributory social insurance has become increasingly inadequate for protecting atypical and non-regular workers, an expandi...

Global trade-offs between consumption, carbon prices and equity

As the remaining carbon budget continues to dwindle, economic growth strains efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. Reducing unnecessary production and consumption in high-income regions and among the wealthy, and organising production more around human needs and human well-b...

Gender Inequality and Social Capital in Academic Finance Networks

Abstract Finance academia remains heavily male dominated, yet the mechanisms driving women’s underrepresentation are not fully understood. This study examines how co-authorship networks shape gendered access to and mobilisation of social capital by integrating Social Capital Theo...

How Feasible is the Use of Saliva for Antiviral Therapeutic Drug Monitoring? A Systematic Review and Analysis

Immunosuppressed patients are susceptible to serious viral infections, often necessitating antiviral prophylaxis and/or treatment. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has been proposed to optimise drug exposure and clinical outcomes and is typically performed on full blood/plasma s...

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...

Impact of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment on Retinal Vasculature in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A 7-Year Follow-Up

Purpose: In previous studies, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity at diagnosis was independently associated with retinal arteriolar narrowing and reduced retinal pulse amplitude. Participants with severe untreated OSA showed progressive retinal arterial narrowing 2 years post...

Development and preliminary evaluation of a digital platform for surgical anatomy education

The transition from foundational anatomy education to applied surgical anatomy remains a persistent challenge in medical and surgical training. This study describes the development and preliminary evaluation of Anatomy Unlocked , a mobile-first, clinically oriented digital anatom...

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...

Progress in reaching zero-dose children: analysis of population-modifiable risk factors and inequity trends in low- and lower-middle-income countries

Zero-dose (ZD) children remain concentrated in low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs) and are a major focus of the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030), which aims to halve their number by 2030. Despite this commitment, progress has stalled in many high-burden settings. Thi...

Photometry for highly saturated TESS stars

Saturation in TESS complicates simple aperture photometry, as flux can be lost to bleeding outside the target pixels. Halo photometry can nevertheless reconstruct good light curves of these stars, as a weighted linear combination of pixel time series from the unsaturatedwings of...

Rehearsing Responsiveness: Coaching Preservice Teachers to Work Within and Beyond Standardized Lesson Plans

ABSTRACT Centrally developed English lesson plans provide structure and ensure curriculum coverage, yet they can constrain preservice teachers' creativity, responsiveness, and capacity to engage students meaningfully. Although this tension is well documented, there is limited pra...

Current Evidence on Best Practice Dental Survivorship Care for People With Head and Neck Cancer: An Overview of Systematic Reviews and Emerging Evidence

INTRODUCTION: Head and neck cancer (HNC) survival is improving, increasing the need to address long-term survivorship issues. Dental survivorship-care before, during, and after treatment-remains inconsistent across services. We conducted a review of systematic reviews and emergin...

Outcomes following dialysis and transplantation in amyloidosis: ANZDATA analysis

Abstract Background The kidneys are frequently affected by systemic amyloidosis. Despite this, contemporary survival outcomes for patients reaching kidney failure due to amyloidosis remain poorly defined relative to other causes of kidney failure. This study aims to characterise...

Prognostic Stratification of Brain Metastases from Nonanaplastic Follicular Cell–Derived Thyroid Carcinoma: Results of an International Multicenter Retrospective Study

Background: Brain metastases (BMs) from nonanaplastic follicular cell–derived thyroid carcinoma (hereinafter referred to as non-ATC) are rare and not well characterized, with limited evidence guiding treatment and prognostic stratification. We aimed to describe clinical features,...

The Evolutionary Frameworks Project - The 15 Frameworks

This document provides the first complete, canonical assignment of all fifteen theoretical frameworks within the Evolutionary Frameworks Project. It maps each framework into one of the five thematic clusters defined in the Master Outline (Version 1.0), establishing the structural...

Algorithms, animals, autonomy and agency: Ludic framing in sonic arts

Abstract Concepts such as agency, autonomy and collaboration are often used by artists to frame relationships in more-than-human sonic practices, from works engaging animal sounds and environments to those involving algorithms. Because these terms carry divergent meanings in biol...

Intersectional fairness in vision-language models for medical image disease classification

Medical artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly multimodal vision-language models (VLM), often exhibit intersectional biases, with models systematically less confident in diagnosing marginalised patient subgroups and producing higher rates of missed diagnoses. Current...

Promotion strategy of electric vehicle in the post-subsidy era: empirical evidence from China

Abstract Financial incentive policies have played a crucial role in cultivating the electric vehicle market during its initial development stage. However, as subsidies decline, how governments can effectively adjust policy strategies to sustain market growth has become a critical...

Tax Enforcement and Corporate Green Practices: Government–Firm Reciprocity in China's Low‐carbon City Pilot Program

Despite rising expectations for firms to fulfil environmental responsibilities, there is increasing emphasis on collaborative efforts between firms and governments to tackle sustainability challenges. This study demonstrates that governments can adjust tax enforcement to motivate...
