Emergency clinicians’ knowledge and perceptions of training, education, and resources in eating disorders

Abstract Background Emergency clinicians have an important role in the recognition, assessment, and emergency management of patients with eating disorders. International studies suggest emergency clinicians receive limited training in eating disorders; however, Irish data are lac...

The Use of Clonidine in Patients With ADHD and Comorbid ODD

Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) co-occurs with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), which lacks an approved treatment. Clonidine, an alpha-2 agonist approved for ADHD, is used off-label to target aggression, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, though eviden...

Emerging Strategies for Bioprinting Organized Musculoskeletal Tissues with Biomimetic Collagen Architecture

Collagen fiber organization is critical to the biomechanical function of musculoskeletal tissues. This has motivated increased interest in tissue engineering strategies aiming to recapitulate native collagen architecture in order to generate more biomimetic grafts. In particular,...

Reliability in Judging Basic Emotions: Lessons from Session Transcripts

Background/Objectives: Psychotherapists have become increasingly interested in identifying how recurrent emotional themes might add value to the clinical process, especially in the context of recent developments in affective neuroscience. However, much of this literature remains...

Multireference Density Matrix Embedding for Spin-Phonon Relaxation

Abstract Spin-phonon coupling governs magnetic relaxation in numerous systems, including single-molecule magnets and molecular spin qubits. In most cases, the accurate prediction of spin relaxation rates requires multireference electronic structure methods, but their computationa...

Autotaxin induces fibrosis in lamina cribrosa cells in glaucoma

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and the enzyme that generates it, autotaxin, have been shown to play a role in fibrosis in the trabecular meshwork in glaucoma, contributing to increased intraocular pressure. We wished to investigate the role of LPA and autotaxin in fibrosis of the la...

Local markets, unilateral effects & dominance theories of harm: the Q-Park/Tazbell off-street parking merger

The article contributes to the merger control literature in local markets differentiated by location (i.e. geographic proximity) by demonstrating that even where unilateral effects are unlikely because the merging parties are not close competitors, competition concerns may still...

Deep Defence on Wheels: A Dual Intrusion Detection System Architecture for Comprehensive In-Vehicle Network Security

The combination of increasing connectivity to the outside world and the lack of inbuilt security mechanisms has made legacy intra-vehicular networks extremely vulnerable to cyberattacks. Consequently, significant research has been devoted to analysing the impact of potential atta...

Sepsis in the major burn patient

Abstract Background Sepsis in the context of major burn injury presents a significant challenge to clinicians. It affects a substantial proportion of patients with major burn injury and is the leading cause of death in those that survive to hospital. Due to the complex and profou...

The Local Virial Theorem in Electron Localization Function Partitions

Abstract The local form of the virial theorem provides a stringent condition for assessing whether a spatial region behaves as a mechanically closed subsystem in molecular space. While basins derived from the topology of the electron density satisfy this condition by construction...

Improved CFD simulation of dual jet flow past a heated surface

A dual jet flow comprises a wall jet discharged immediately parallel to a solid boundary flowing alongside a parallel offset jet. Dual jets have application in aircraft noise suppression and process cooling and more recently are of interest regarding electronics cooling. To date,...

Co-designing VR chemistry labs: Pre–post learning changes, reshaped classroom dynamics & deployment lessons for real-world rollout in post-primary schools

Experiential learning is central to chemistry education, yet post-primary schools face persistent constraints related to cost, safety, and infrastructure that limit hands-on laboratory access. While immersive VR has demonstrated potential for conceptual and procedural learning, c...

Sex-dependent DNA methylation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) shows well-established sex differences in incidence, age at onset and progression, but their biological basis is unclear. We hypothesised that the DNA methylation changes associated with ALS differ between the sexes, which would point to sex-sp...

What counts as digital play? Irish early childhood educators’ beliefs and practice tensions

Digital technologies are increasingly embedded in young children’s lives, yet uncertainty remains regarding their role in early childhood education and care (ECEC). This study explores Irish early years educators’ beliefs and perceptions concerning digital play, employing Bronfen...

Efficacy of Transdiagnostic Emotion‐Focused Therapy in the Treatment of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms: A Quasi‐Experimental Study

ABSTRACT Objectives This study is among the first to assess the efficacy of teletherapy‐delivered Transdiagnostic Emotion‐Focused Therapy (EFT‐T) for university students with depression and anxiety symptoms. Methods Therapy was offered in a 12–16 session format. Forty students wi...

The HEADSpAcE Data Center: An international data and biospecimen resource for head and neck cancer translational research

Head and neck cancer (HNC) comprises a heterogeneous group of malignancies with substantial variation in incidence, risk factors, and outcomes across populations. Existing studies are often limited by regional scope or lack integration of epidemiological, clinical, and molecular...

The Bokkenrijders: Gangs of Drunkards or Military Operatives?

This article examines the Bokkenrijders—criminal gangs that raided Looz, the Lands of Overmaas, and parts of Germany between circa 1734 and 1795. It draws on sources, including trial records from the schepenbanken of communities in Belgian Limburg and critically analyses the soci...

Kinetically moderated reprotonation reconstructs aramid nanofiber hydrogen-bond networks for high-performance thermal management and EMI shielding composite films

Flexible electronic devices urgently require lightweight multifunctional films that can dissipate heat, suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI), and retain mechanical reliability under repeated deformation. However, filler-rich polymer composites often improve thermal/electri...

Prior immunization with an acellular pertussis vaccine suppresses protective immunity to a more effective vaccine

Acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines protect against pertussis disease but fail to induce tissue-resident memory (T RM ) cells that prevent nasal infection with Bordetella pertussis . Here, we demonstrate that boosting aP-immunized mice with a whole-cell pertussis (wP) vaccine impai...

Simulating Methane (CH4) Transport Pathways from a Rice Crop Grown on a Degraded Fen Peat Soil using the Peatland-VU Model

Important notes for future model users that seek to simulate the Peatland-VU model The modelling data uploaded in the zipped folder called as "Swiss PeatVU Aug2026 outputs" contains the simulations conducted using the Peatland-VU model. These Peatland-VU simulations are for the s...
