Training investment indicators beyond cost: analyzing the impact of training on organizational outcomes

Organizations invest heavily in employee training, yet firms and firm-level research typically evaluate that investment by cost alone. Cost, however, reveals little about how training is delivered, how widely it reaches employees, or whether the firm has the resources to translat...

Generalizations of the Dirichlet Problem for Bianalytic Functions

ABSTRACT We prove the Dirichlet problem for second‐order iterated Vekua equations, a natural generalization of the Bitsadze equation, is well‐posed when the boundary condition is defined as a product of an exponential function and a polynomial on a non‐degenerate conic that is no...

Repurposing Antipsychotic Agents in Oncology: Mechanistic Rationale, Emerging Evidence, and Therapeutic Potential

Antipsychotic agents—spanning first-, second-, and third-generation drug classes—are emerging as mechanistically diverse candidates for repurposing in oncology. Although developed to modulate dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmission, some of these compounds exert pleiotrop...

A Descriptive Website Review of Publicized PharmD Pre-Matriculation Programs

Objective: Colleges of pharmacy have begun offering pre-matriculation programs to refresh and strengthen pharmacy students’ basic math skills. Although previous survey-based research showed that many institutions offer a pre-matriculation program, it remains unclear whether such...

Low-surface-energy cotton fabrics for hygiene control: Super-repellent surfaces resistant to biological and non-biological contamination

Cotton fabrics are widely used in industries like agriculture and food processing, where they are often chosen for workwear, cleaning purposes, and as reusable cloths. Nevertheless, their inherent hydrophilicity and porous morphology facilitate the absorption and persistence of v...

Gelfand–Levitan condition for Dirac operators

We discuss how to generalise a Dirac operator such that the solution of a Dirac equation is of bounded variation rather than continuous. We build the spectral theory for generalised Dirac operators and discuss the connection between them and canonical systems. With the help of de...

Defining Multigenerational Caregiving in Human Resource Development: A Systematic Review and the HRD-CARE Model of Human Capital Depreciation

Multigenerational caregiving remains conceptually underdeveloped in human resource development (HRD). Guided by an a priori HRD-CARE scaffold, this systematic review analyzes 30 empirical studies through operational synthesis, inductive axial coding, and deductive theoretical int...

DNP Final Report: MEDICATION ERRORS: DECREASING FROM DAY ONE THROUGH ONLINE LEARNING MODULE AND INCIDENT REPORTING

Medication administration errors remain a significant patient safety concern in healthcare and nursing education. This Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) quality improvement project evaluated the implementation of a standardized medication safety learning module and incident report...

Lower-Limb Motor Function, Mobility, Balance, Falls and Intervention Effects in Inclusion Body Myositis: A Systematic Review

Background/Objectives: Inclusion body myositis (IBM) causes progressive, quadriceps-predominant weakness that impairs mobility and increases fall risk, yet outcomes most relevant to independence remain unsynthesized for IBM. This review compiles direct IBM evidence across five do...

The missing improvers: Tau pathology, neuroplasticity, and the case for tau-informed patient selection before amyloid immunotherapy

Amyloid immunotherapy with lecanemab and donanemab has been approved on the basis of statistically significant slowing of cognitive and functional decline in early Alzheimer's disease (1,2). Yet clinicians treating individual patients face the everyday challenge of estimating whe...

Fostering Computational Thinking for an Adaptive Construction Workforce: Experimental Study of VR-Based Human–Robot Interaction

Abstract Construction work is becoming increasingly technology-intensive, requiring transferable skills that enable effective human–robot interaction (HRI). We designed and evaluated a virtual-reality (VR) training environment that pedagogically integrates computational thinking...

Institutional Support Environments in Higher Education: Rethinking the Role of Military-Affiliated Student Centers

Military-affiliated student centers have become common features of higher education institutions serving veterans, active-duty service members, and military-connected students. Despite their growing presence, these centers are often institutionally positioned and evaluated primar...

Partial Reproducibility and Pleiotropic Epigenetic QTLs in Arabidopsis Recombinant Inbred Lines

Unlike conventional genetic polymorphisms, many induced epigenetic polymorphisms can be reset across generations, raising uncertainty about how consistently the same epigenetic loci and associated phenotypic effects can be recovered among independent studies. To address this prob...

DNP Final Report: Right Team, Right Time: Improving Operating Room Efficiency Among Elective Orthopedic Surgeries

Background Inefficient operating room (OR) turnover times negatively affect surgical throughput, patient flow, staff workload, and hospital financial performance. Orthopedic procedures, which require complex equipment and coordinated workflows, are particularly vulnerable to dela...
