Baseline Ferritin and Body Composition as Correlates of Longitudinal Metabolic Changes During an Energy-Restricted Mediterranean-Style Intervention Across Three Overweight Phlogistic-Related Clinical Conditions

Background/Objectives: Chronic inflammation accompanies obesity, but correlations of longitudinal changes during dietary follow-up remain unclear. We described inflammatory profiles and examined associations of baseline ferritin and body composition with changes during a 32-week...

Gender, merit, and social capital in national accreditation: time to tenure‑track promotion in spanish management and organization studies

Abstract Women remain underrepresented in senior academic positions despite formal, ostensibly meritocratic promotion systems in many European countries, including Spain. National accreditation by the Spanish quality and accreditation agency (ANECA) is a mandatory gateway for pro...

Integrating Soil Compactness, Carbon Stocks, and Pieri-Index-Based Structural Vulnerability for Soil Quality Assessment Across Tropical Land-Use Systems

Integrated assessments combining soil compactness, carbon storage, and structural vulnerability remain scarce in tropical soils of the Colombian Orinoquia. Soil physical condition was compared across natural forest (n = 21), secondary vegetation (n = 27), agricultural use (n = 12...

Integrating Internal Control Parameters into Risk-Adjusted DCF Valuation: A Rating-Based Methodology

The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) methodology is widely regarded as one of the most theoretically well-established approaches to firm valuation. The most critical issue within this methodology is the reliable and well-grounded estimation of those cash flows, particularly the systema...

The fractional Stefan problem: global regularity of the bounded selfsimilar solution

Abstract We study the regularity of the bounded self-similar solution to the one-phase Stefan problem with fractional diffusion posed on the whole line. In terms of the enthalpy $$h(x,t)\ge 0$$ h ( x , t ) ≥ 0 , the evolution equation reads $$ \partial _t h + (-\Delta )^s \Phi (h...

Developing the Readout Electronics for a Custom 64 × 64 SPAD Array: From Single-Board Prototyping to FPGA Implementation Toward Stellar Intensity Interferometry

Single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays enable photon-starved applications, including time-of-flight imaging and stellar intensity interferometry. Their astronomical use remains scarcely explored, as the bottleneck is usually not detection but rather acquisition electronics f...

Prognostic Role of Adverse Events in a Worldwide Population of Patients with Biliary Tract Cancer Treated with Chemo-Immunotherapy

Background: Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are aggressive malignancies with limited treatment options. The addition of durvalumab or pembrolizumab to cisplatin–gemcitabine improves overall survival (OS), but validated biomarkers of benefit remain limited. Immune-mediated adverse ev...

Tuning the Band Structure of Covalent Triazine Frameworks for Sequential Reductive–Oxidative Photoredox Catalysis

Abstract Interrupted atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) processes through radical–polar crossover (RPC) manifolds constitute a powerful strategy for the rapid assembly of complex molecular architectures, yet their implementation using heterogeneous photocatalysts remains large...

Systematic Review of the Global Patterns and Determinants of International Student Mobility

ABSTRACT This systematic literature review synthesizes and analyses a corpus of 140 studies on the size and flows of international student mobility (ISM), as well as its determinants. The review confirms a consistent global increase in international students, albeit experienced d...

Does patient death and suffering deplete or energize ICU healthcare professionals? Daily interaction of harmonious and obsessive passion

This study examined the moderating role of daily harmonious passion (HP) and obsessive passion (OP) in the association between daily contact with patient death and suffering, and daily burnout and vitality. Grounded in job demands-resources theory, HP was expected to serve as a p...

Introducing relative pollen productivity estimates for Iberian taxa: methodological insights and implications for landscape modelling in the Western Mediterranean

Abstract. Understanding the impact of ongoing global change on plant communities requires long-term quantitative reconstructions of past vegetation dynamics. Fossil pollen records offer one of the most powerful tools to reconstruct past landscapes, yet for their accurate interpre...

Predicting SILENT after lithium poisoning: a multicenter cohort study and pragmatic risk stratification model

INTRODUCTION: The Syndrome of Irreversible Lithium-Effectuated Neurotoxicity (SILENT) is a rare but potentially devastating complication of lithium poisoning. Current evidence rests on case reports and small series, leaving its true incidence, risk factors, and follow-up tools po...

Nanomechanical resonators as probes for living cells

Nanomechanical resonators, including suspended microchannel resonators (SMRs), microcantilevers, doubly clamped beams, membranes, and optomechanical disk resonators, provide label-free measurements of the physical properties of single cells through changes in the sensor resonance...

Bottom-Up Realization of a Type-II Organic/Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides Heterointerface: Pentacene on Monolayer WS2

Abstract Stacked van der Waals heterostructures based on transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit a rich variety of exotic interfacial phenomena. Substituting one component with an organic semiconductor (OSC) enables the design of hybrid heterostructures with tunable funct...

Astrocytic PI3Kα controls synaptic plasticity and cognitive function via serine metabolism

Astrocytes modulate neuronal activity by gliotransmission and through metabolic regulation, yet the relationship between these functions remains poorly understood. Here we show that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling in astrocytes controls synaptic plasticity and memo...

Nonlocal Approximation of Minimal Surfaces: Optimal Estimates From Stability

ABSTRACT Minimal surfaces in closed 3‐manifolds are classically constructed via the Almgren‐Pitts approach. The Allen‐Cahn approximation has proved to be a powerful alternative, and Chodosh and Mantoulidis (in Ann. Math. 2020) used it to give a new proof of Yau's conjecture for g...

Sex-modulated associations between cytomegalovirus cell-associated DNA and cognition in people with HIV on ART

Background: People with HIV (PWH) remain at risk for cognitive impairment, despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), a phenomenon linked to chronic immune activation and inflammation. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) has been implicated in HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment, but...

The Global Airways Unit: A Multidisciplinary Strategy for Early Diagnosis and Comorbidity Detection

ABSTRACT Background Chronic respiratory diseases impose a large global burden of morbidity, mortality, and cost. The concept of a global airway has become increasingly supported by epidemiologic, mechanistic, and clinical evidence. However, clinical care often remains fragmented...

Precise predictions for trilinear Higgs couplings and Higgs pair production in extended scalar sectors with anyH3 and anyHH

Abstract A central objective of future collider experiments is to probe the structure of the Higgs potential, which requires access to trilinear scalar couplings, in particular the self-coupling of the observed Higgs boson. While this coupling is fixed in the Standard Model (SM),...

Clinical outcomes of stereotactic body radiotherapy in oligometastatic disease: a national real-world cohort study

Abstract Purpose We conducted the first multicentre Spanish real-world study assessing the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in oligometastatic patients treated in routine clinical practice. Methods This retrospective, multicentre observational study in...
