A Triadic Programme Combining Universal Design for Learning, Multilevel Instruction and Manipulative Mathematics in Second-Grade Primary Education: A Quasi-Experimental Study of Mathematical Competence and Attitudes

Evidence on programmes that combine manipulative mathematics, Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and multilevel instruction is scarce, particularly for primary students with and without specific learning difficulties (SpLD). This study examined whether a six-session triadic prog...

High internal load but low power output in indoor cycling classes

While several studies have described the internal load of indoor cycling, only three have assessed pedaling power, all under simulated conditions or with participants aware of the outcomes. The present study analyzed internal and external load during real indoor cycling classes c...

HiTPhish: A hierarchical transformer architecture for robust phishing detection

Phishing continues to serve as the primary vector for major cyber incidents, facilitating data breaches, financial theft, and ransomware. Attackers increasingly exploit compromised legitimate infrastructure, which undermines the reliability of URL-based detection and shifts the b...

Where gender matters most: divergent patterns linking diversity and patriarchy to operating and financial performance

Purpose This study analyzes the associations between board gender diversity (BGD) and firms’ operating and financial performance, and examines how these associations vary with patriarchal cultural attitudes. Drawing on social role theory and role congruity theory, we argue that B...

Advances in the Integration of Genomic and Phenomic Tools in Cowpea Breeding for Improving Stress Resilience and Grain Yield and Quality

ABSTRACT Cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is a multi‐use crop highly valued as a food crop, high‐protein fodder, and sustainable cover crop. Yet, it remains underused, and yields in most growing regions are below the crop's potential due to multiple biotic and abiotic stresses...

“Health as Work”, Structural Vulnerability Shaping Migrant Health in Non-Metropolitan Spain: A Qualitative Study

Background/Objectives: Migrants often experience health inequities resulting from administrative insecurity, precarious employment, and barriers to healthcare access. Although non-metropolitan areas are increasingly important destinations for migrant populations, evidence on thei...

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...

Molecular Stress Biomarkers in Aquaculture: A Systematic Review

This systematic review of the literature aimed to explore the molecular biomarkers used for the detection of stress in the aquaculture sector over the last decade. Relevant studies were retrieved from the Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed databases, which were last searched on 13...

UPF4ROS2 for integrating planner independent task planning into ROS 2

Abstract The lack of standardized interfaces remains one of the main barriers to the adoption of automated planning in robotic systems. To address this challenge, the AIPlan4EU project, part of the European AI4EU initiative, developed the Unified Planning Framework (UPF), a plann...

Spatial Variability and Magnitude of Soil Erosion in Vineyards Across Spain: Insights from Standardized ISUM Measurements

Soil erosion and sediment redistribution in vineyards often exceed tolerable thresholds, but comparative field measurements across regions remain limited because studies use different methods and sampling designs. This study assesses soil redistribution in vineyards using a commo...

Power Profile of Olympic Cross-Country Mountain Biking: Durability Matters

Abstract Inoue, A, Mateo-March, M, Protzen, G, do Carmo, EC, Lattari, E, Costa, VP, and Bezerra da Silva, E. Power profile of Olympic cross-country mountain biking: Durability matters. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2026—Power output decline may represent an important indica...

Identifying Co‐Expressed lncRNAs Correlated With Traits of Interest in an Animal Model for Metabolic Diseases in Humans

Nutrigenomics investigates how nutrients modulate gene expression. Among them, fatty acids (FA) play important roles in regulating gene transcription, while long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may be associated with gene regulation and metabolic diseases. This study aimed to analyze t...

Thymic atrophy and impaired thymic hormone production as a key role in the pathogenesis of the Periweaning Failure-to-Thrive syndrome (PFTS) in piglets

Abstract Background Periweaning Failure-to-Thrive syndrome (PFTS) is an emerging syndrome characterized by progressive growth retardation, anorexia and debilitation in piglets during the 2–3 weeks post-weaning. Since its first description in 2008, the syndrome has been reported i...

Home Writing Environments of At-Risk and Typically Developing Children in Spain: Implications for Preventing Writing Difficulties

Writing is a key competence for academic and social success, and for future employability. From a sociocultural perspective, writing development is shaped by both school instruction and literacy-related experiences within the home. However, little is known about what specific wri...

Improving interpretability and applicability of welfare management decisions in dairy cows through explainable artificial intelligence

Abstract Background Improving animal welfare and health is a key objective in modern dairy systems. However, translating routinely available dairy herd improvement records into transparent and actionable welfare-related decisions remains challenging, particularly when using compl...

Pharmacokinetic bioequivalence between (etonogestrel/ethinylestradiol 11.7/2.7 mg) NuvaRing ® and ornibel premium ® (etonogestrel/ethinylestradiol 8.25/2.6 mg), a novel polymer composition contraceptive vaginal ring

Objective This was a single-centre, randomised, single-ring insertion, 2-period, 2-sequence, crossover study designed to assess comparative bioavailability and thereby establish bioequivalence of two ethinylestradiol/etonogestrel vaginal rings (delivering 0.015/0.12 mg per day) a...

Nanotechnology-Enabled Remediation of Contaminated Soils: Mechanisms, Soil Constraints, Environmental Risks, and Implications for Sustainable Land Management

Engineered nanomaterials have been increasingly proposed for the treatment of contaminated soils. Nevertheless, most available evidence has been obtained in water, artificial substrates or short-term laboratory experiments, and performance in real soil is substantially more varia...

Effects of Replacing Concentrate Feed with Carob (Ceratonia siliqua) Pods on Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Meat Quality, and Rumen Fermentation in Assaf Lambs

This study examined the effects of replacing 25% (P25) or 50% (P50) of concentrate dry matter (DM) with sun-dried carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) pods on growth performance, apparent nutrient digestibility, carcass traits, meat quality, serum biochemistry, and rumen microbiology in...
