Artificial intelligence in radiographic quantification and severity assessment of peri‐implant marginal bone loss: A systematic review

ABSTRACT Purpose To critically assess artificial intelligence (AI)‐based radiographic models for quantitative measurement, localization/detection, segmentation/keypoints, diagnostic classification, and severity or morphology assessment of peri‐implant marginal bone loss (MBL) and...

The AI technological shock and sustainable development: a systemic analysis of entrepreneurial ecosystems

Abstract In a context of increasing global uncertainty and accelerating digital transformation, it is analysed how frontier technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robot density, constitute an external technological shock that influences and reshapes entrepreneuria...

Odontogenic Sinusitis: Clinical, Radiologic, and Quality-of-Life Characterization in a Prospective Study

Background: Rhinosinusitis is an increasingly prevalent condition that compromises patients’ quality of life and imposes a substantial burden on healthcare systems. Odontogenic sinusitis, a predominantly unilateral form of rhinosinusitis, accounts for up to 40% of unilateral maxi...

Ultrahigh resolution 19F and 31P NMR spectroscopy

Abstract NMR analyses of systems highly abundant in fluorine and phosphorus are becoming increasingly common in many areas, including pharmaceutical and environmental science. Often, such analyses can be challenging because overlap between multiplets degrades spectral resolution....

Performance and Time Efficiency of Artificial Intelligence‐Based Programs for the Automatic Design of Occlusal Devices and Restorations: A Systematic Review

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the accuracy and time efficiency of artificial intelligence (AI)‐based programs for designing occlusal devices and tooth‐supported restorations. Material and Methods A search was completed in 5 databases: PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Embase, Web of Scien...

Deciphering the genomic signatures of climate vulnerability across 77 sheep breeds

Abstract Among domesticated species, sheep ( Ovis aries ) have achieved a wide geographic distribution due to their mobility, rusticity and ability to adapt to diverse environments and climatic conditions. Here, we characterise the genome-wide diversity of >1,000 sheep representi...

Spatial prediction of groundwater nitrate through machine learning and stakeholder co-creation: the Chalk aquifer case in East Anglia, UK

Nitrate contamination in groundwater threatens drinking water supplies worldwide. Data-driven methods can improve prediction and spatial mapping by transforming point observations into continuous regional information, supporting a better understanding of contamination patterns an...

Mapping the lingual artery: a scoping review and proposed imaging-informed risk classification for surgical and radiological practice

The lingual artery (LA) shows significant morphological and topographical variation that can affect the safety and results of head and neck surgeries, carotid interventions, and free flap reconstructions. Traditional descriptions such as the thyrolingual trunk (TLT), linguofacial...

Early kidney injury occurs in the absence of detectable perirenal adipose tissue remodelling in the Munich Wistar Frömter rat model of chronic kidney disease

Adipose tissue surrounding the kidney, known as perirenal adipose tissue (PRAT), is a metabolically active depot that may influence renal function through inflammatory and fibrotic mediators. In the Munich Wistar Frömter (MWF) rat, a genetic model of spontaneous chronic kidney di...

How language conveys emotion through sound: A review of affective iconicity

Traditionally, the lack of association between the form of a word and its meaning (i.e. arbitrariness) has been considered a fundamental aspect of language. However, this idea has recently been challenged by growing evidence of form-meaning relationships in words from different c...

Resonant Raman Scattering from Quasi-2D Van Hove Excitons in Strain-Engineered Germanium Microstructures

Abstract We present a sub-μm spatial resolution Raman mapping study of strain-engineered germanium (Ge) micro-bridge structures, fabricated on a 220 nm silicon-on-insulator (Ge-SOI). Revision of the analytical geometric-strain model for such structures, to account for partial und...

Rewriting the Polesine Flood: Gender and Ecology in Sonia Aggio’s Magnificat

On 14 November 1951, the Polesine basin experienced one of the most severe floods recorded in modern Italian history. Despite its historical significance, the event remains marginal in environmental humanities scholarship. This article examines Magnificat (2022) by Sonia Aggio, a...

Educational and Professional Development Interventions to Strengthen Empathy, Compassion, and Relational Care Among Healthcare Professionals: A Systematic Review

Humanized healthcare depends on professionals’ capacity to communicate empathically, respond compassionately, and establish therapeutic relationships. This globally focused systematic review aimed to synthesize comparative evidence on educational and professional development inte...

Kant’s Sexism Reconsidered: A Critical Account of Kant’s Theory of Citizenship in the Context of Theodor von Hippel’s and Amalia Holst’s Theories of Women’s Duties

Abstract This article reconsiders Kant’s theory of citizenship in the light of various Enlightenment debates on the duties and rights of women. First, the paper analyzes Kant’s view of women as passive citizens, confined to reproductive labour and domestic subordination, and high...

Urinary Hypaphorine as a Candidate Marker of FFQ-Derived Legume Intake Within the EAT-Lancet Framework in Free-Living Adults

Dietary assessment is affected by recall, reporting, portion-size error, and food-composition inconsistencies. Hypaphorine, a tryptophan-derived betaine alkaloid found in pulses and other foods, has been proposed as a marker of legume exposure, but its performance in free-living...

Evaluating Firm Quadruple Bottom Line (QBL) Performance: Development and Validation of a Brief Scale

ABSTRACT The quadruple bottom line (QBL) has emerged as a critical framework for assessing corporate performance beyond economic, social, and environmental metrics. Although previous models have proposed additional dimensions such as governance, growing attention is now being dir...

Super-pupil beam engineering for enhanced confinement of azimuthally polarized depletion beams

Fluorescence depletion microscopy techniques require optical fields with a well-defined and spatially confined central intensity minimum to achieve sub-diffraction lateral resolution. Here, we present the design and experimental implementation of an azimuthally polarized, doughnu...

Validation of plasma core biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease: A multicenter study in usual practice conditions

Background The new anti-amyloid therapies have brought the challenge of early and feasible identification of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Plasma biomarkers are promising tools, but real-world evidence remains limited. Objective We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of plas...

Spectral Reconstruction Function: Spectral Complexity and Its Connection to Barron Norms

We introduce the Spectral Reconstruction Function (SRF), a cumulative descriptor ofthe spectral content of a digital image. The construction is based on the discrete Fourierdecomposition of an image and on the radial frequency associated with each Fourier mode. TheSRF measures th...
