Enhanced simulated sunlight photocatalytic degradation over SnS/MgWO4 heterostructure through improved interfacial charge transfer

The contamination of water by organic dyes constitutes a major environmental challenge due to their good reusability under the tested conditions and toxicity. However, conventional photocatalysts exhibit low activity under simulated sunlight irradiation as well as rapid recombina...

Liver X receptor (LXR) signaling in macrophage inflammation and cardiometabolic disease.

Cardiometabolic diseases profoundly remodel tissue immune landscapes, characterized by the accumulation of diverse macrophage subtypes. Among these, lipid-associated macrophages (LAMs) have emerged as an important subset that is frequently observed in cardiometabolically affected...

A Unified Benchmark of Deep Learning Models for Multi-Task 3D Brain Tumor Segmentation from Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Automatic brain tumor segmentation from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a fundamental task in computer-assisted diagnosis, treatment planning, and disease monitoring. Although numerous deep learning architectures have recently been proposed, objective comparisons rema...

Beyond β-amyloid: transthyretin cerebral amyloid angiopathy

Abstract Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is most commonly associated with β-amyloid deposition, but other amyloid proteins may accumulate in leptomeningeal and superficial cortical vessels. We report a man first evaluated neurologically at 44 years of age after approximately on...

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...

Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma–Enriched Chondral Matrix Implantation Improves Cartilage Repair in an Ovine Model: A Magnetic Resonance Assessment Using the MOCART 2.0 Scoring System

BACKGROUND: Articular cartilage defects exhibit a limited intrinsic regenerative capacity and continue to represent a significant challenge in sports medicine, frequently progressing to degenerative joint disease if left untreated. PURPOSE: To assess cartilage repair after autolo...

TROIKA Model - Triple Rotor Oscillator Interlinked with K-cycle Architecture

We present the dataset and comprehensive manuscripts for the TROIKA (Triple Rotor Oscillator Interlinked with K-cycle Architecture) model. This framework establishes a bridge between discrete geometric entanglement and continuous rotational mechanics, exploring the hybrid couplin...

Territorial inequities in access to essential medicines for neglected tropical diseases in a decentralised European health system: a nationwide assessment in Spain

Abstract Background Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) represent an increasing but often overlooked challenge for European health systems owing to international mobility, migration, travel, and climate-related changes in disease ecology. Although effective treatments exist for mo...

Buried in the pantry: using archaeoentomology to assess cave reuse at the pre-Hispanic site of Cruz de la Esquina

Entomology, the study of insects, is an integral part of modern forensic science and can also make substantial contributions in archaeology. Here, the authors report on archaeoentomological analyses conducted within the Cruz de la Esquina funerary cave (Acusa Seca, Gran Canaria,...

Associations of Social Support, Loneliness, and Physical Activity with Cognitive Function in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment

Objectives: This study investigated how perceived social support, loneliness, and physical activity are related to cognitive performance among older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Methods: This cross-sectional investigation included 112 community-dwelling older adults wit...

Association of Weekly Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity with Subjective Vitality and Mental Toughness in Spanish Adolescents Aged 10–16 Years

Physical activity levels decline notably during adolescence, raising concerns due to its impact on present and future psychological health. Understanding how weekly MVPA is associated with psychological functioning during adolescence may provide relevant information for research...

Industrial tourism: how visitor heterogeneity shapes behavioural intention through sustainability perceptions

Purpose This study aims to examine the role of sustainability perceptions in explaining social acceptance and future willingness to engage in industrial tourism in territories characterised by strong productive identities. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on survey data from 4...

Expanding Oued Beht: Final Neolithic, Bronze Age, medieval and later discoveries from excavation and survey in 2023

Abstract Oued Beht, Morocco, is emerging as a key site for understanding later prehistory in the northwestern Maghreb. Previous fieldwork by the Oued Beht Archaeological Project (OBAP) in 2022 revealed major evidence of a large and complex focus of activity across the ridge durin...

Discriminating among common probabilistic models for radon data: a Bayesian approach

Abstract Discriminating among competing statistical models for experimental data is of interest for physical science. While right-skewed experimental measurements commonly approximate a lognormal distribution, among many others, substantial deviations occur at the extremes of the...

Coupling between statistical learning and interference suppression

Abstract In an ever-changing environment, synchronizing automatic and controlled behaviors is essential for successful adaptation. Yet, the relationship between these behaviors is often debated, partly because of the diverse approaches used to investigate them. The present study...

Coherent eddies redistribute microplastics across the water column

Abstract The ocean interior is emerging as a hidden reservoir of microplastics, yet the mechanisms governing their accumulation below the surface remain poorly understood. Despite growing interest in microplastic distribution throughout the ocean, in-situ observations within smal...

Longitudinal evidence for decreasing statistical learning abilities across childhood

Abstract Statistical learning enables us to identify patterns in our environment and predict future events, thereby supporting a range of motor, cognitive, and linguistic skills. Despite its significance, the developmental trajectory of statistical learning has remained unclear d...

High-Resolution Mapping of Forest Vegetation Types Using Multiplatform Imagery and Advanced Classification Techniques

Accurate and up-to-date information is essential for environmental monitoring, particularly in regions characterized by complex topography and heterogeneous landscapes. This study presents a multisource remote sensing–based approach for forest vegetation classification on La Palm...

Does Patient-Reported Olfactory Improvement Correlate with Quality of Life and Polyp Size Reduction in Patients with CRSwNP Treated with Dupilumab?

Background: Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is a key symptom of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Dupilumab improves clinical outcomes, including patient-reported olfactory function. This study aimed to analyze correlations between patient-reported olfactory improveme...
