Magnetic signatures in merger products

All template inlist files used to create the stellar models used in the 'Magnetic signatures in merger products' paper, as well as our additions to the 'run_star_extras.f90' file used to enable a nu_max-based stopping criterion. The single-star models were calculated based on the...

This record contains the appendices to the doctoral thesis “Botryosphaeriaceae species associated with avocado in Tenerife: diversity, detection, sporulation and taxonomy”, by David Hernández-Hernández, developed at the Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) and the Instituto Canario de...

Comparison of myosteatosis, myopenia, must tool and subcutaneous adipose tissue as risk factors for anastomotic leakage in patients with colorectal cancer a prospective observational cohort study CT-based sarcopenia for risk strat

Abstract Introduction Myosteatosis, myopenia, Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), and the amount of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) have been identified as significant risk factors for postoperative complications in patients with colorectal cancer. However, cut-off po...

Breaking the Blend: A multi-tracer kinematic decomposition method for IFS data applied to disentangling the AGN outflow and circumnuclear ring in NGC 5728 with JWST

Abstract Integral field spectroscopy (IFS) of the central kiloparsecs of active galactic nuclei (AGN) reveals a mixture of spatially coincident emission from star-formation and AGN feedback exciting the interstellar medium. Disentangling these components remains a challenge, as m...

Exploring Blastocystis: hidden complexity in a common intestinal microbe

Graphical Abstract Graphical overview of the present Blastocystis review: historical perspective, clinical presentation, microbial characteristics, putative pathogenic strategies, epidemiology, diagnosis and biosafety, treatment and resistance and key open questions.

Alien and Invasive Plants in Context: Disturbance, Facilitation, and Conservation Trade-Offs

Non-native plants differ widely in their ecological effects, yet this variation does not diminish the harm caused by damaging invasions. This narrative review examines three related questions: how prior disturbance and subsequent plant impacts can be distinguished; when non-nativ...

Rethinking Educational Participatory Action Research with Migrant and Racialized Youth in Border Contexts

Abstract Youth-led participatory action research (YPAR) has gained increasing relevance as an approach for promoting youth agency and addressing social inequalities in educational contexts. However, when implemented with migrant and racialized youth in border regions, participato...

Capillin, a Polyacetylene from Argyranthemum frutescens, a Promising Hit Compound for Antikinetoplastid Drug Discovery

Chagas disease and leishmaniasis, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi and different Leishmania species, respectively, remain public health problems in developing regions due to high prevalence and the limited efficacy and safety of current treatments. Plant-derived natural...

Nursing Role in the Management of Major Ambulatory Surgery Units: A Scoping Review

Background: Major Ambulatory Surgery is an increasingly common care model, but evidence on nurses’ specific organizational roles remains limited. Objectives: To identify and map evidence on nursing roles in the organization, management, and optimization of MAS units. Methods: A s...

Serum Melatonin at Admission and Discharge in Schizophrenia: A Prospective Longitudinal Controlled Study

Schizophrenia is associated with circadian and neuroendocrine disturbances, but whether circulating melatonin changes with acute clinical state remains uncertain. This prospective longitudinal controlled study measured serum melatonin at 12:00 and 00:00 in 43 hospitalized patient...

The DESI Y1 RR Lyrae Catalog. II. The Metallicity Dependency of Pulsational Properties, the Shape of the RR Lyrae Instability Strip, and Metal Rich RR Lyrae

Abstract RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) are valuable probes of both Milky Way assembly and stellar-evolution physics. Using a sample 6240 RRLs obtained in the first year of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey, we investigate the metallicity of RRLs and its correlation w...

The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) Fast Analysis and Spectroscopy of Transients (FAST) Surveys

Abstract The study of young and fast astronomical transients is often limited by the difficulty of acquiring data, particularly spectra, within hours to days of explosion. Historically, follow-up programmes have rarely obtained spectra until many days after discovery; coupled wit...

Heat, employment and deprivation: compound climate burden in an island tourism economy

Abstract Compound climate vulnerability—the geographic co-location of climate exposure, concentrated employment and residential socio-economic disadvantage—remains methodologically underdeveloped at the sub-municipal scales required for operational adaptation planning. Tourism-de...

Gender differences in the relationship between high-performance work system bundles and job satisfaction

Purpose This paper examines the differences in the positive relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWS) and job satisfaction according to employee gender. More precisely, the AMO framework, which decomposes such systems into ability-, motivation- and opportunity-enh...

An Examination of the Cs 2 NaInCl 6 Luminescence: Interplay of Self‐Generated In + and Doped Sb 3+ , Er 3+ /Yb 3+ Ions

ABSTRACT This work introduces a novel explanation of the visible (Vis‐) and near‐infrared (NIR) Cs 2 NaInCl 6 luminescence based on spontaneously formed In 3+ →In + and a doping method by utilizing Er 3+ /Yb 3+ and Sb 3+ ions. A combined experimental and theoretical approach has...

Evidence-Guided SEM–EDX Assessment of Electrodeposited Copper on a Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode: A Retrospective Case Study

Copper-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes require morphological and compositional assessment before further functionalization. This retrospective single-electrode study organizes SEM–EDX evidence into local composition, local coating interpretation, strip-region localizati...

From a port city to a tourist city: dispossession of the public spaces in central Santa Cruz de Tenerife

We analyse the transformation of public spaces in Santa Cruz de Tenerife through interventions on its waterfront and drawing on a mixed-method approach. Changes have reconfigured not only their material characteristics but also the symbolic constructions traditionally associated...

Gas absorption of soft X-rays strongly impacts the redshift distribution of dark Fast X-ray Transients

Abstract The progenitors of many Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) and those of γ-ray bursts (GRBs) are strongly linked. Given that ”dark” GRBs are typically found to be events suffering from enhanced extinction in the host galaxy, we investigate the nature of ”dark” FXTs. However, un...

Segmenting Destination Loyalty in Mature Tourism Destinations: Satisfaction as a Mediator and Visit Frequency as a Boundary Condition

This study examines structural heterogeneity in destination loyalty formation in a mature tourism destination by investigating whether visit frequency conditions the relationships among perceived destination attribute salience, primary travel motivations, tourist satisfaction, an...

Ultrasensitive serum levels of interleukin 13 in systemic lupus erythematosus patients: a cross-sectional study

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by elevated levels of various cytokines. Interleukin (IL)-13 is a pleiotropic type 2 cytokine that plays a central role in allergic inflammation and tissue fibrosis. Until recently, serum measurement of IL-13 was not feasible be...
