Association Between the GMI / HbA1c Ratio and Microvascular Complications in Type 1 Diabetes: A Multicenter Cross‐Sectional Study

ABSTRACT Objective To clarify whether the glucose management indicator (GMI)/glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ratio (GMI/HbA1c ratio) is an independent predictor of microvascular complications in Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Design and Methods Multicentre, cross‐sectional, observational st...

Ensemble-Based Descriptor Analysis of Flexible Odorants: Conformational Landscapes of Geraniol, Nerol, and Linalool

Abstract Conformational flexibility remains a central challenge in the molecular modeling of odorants because thermally accessible structures may differ from the potential-energy minima identified in conformational searches. Here, we combine automated conformational exploration,...

Transdisciplinary Enactive Realism: Towards an Ontology of the Leib and Epistemic Translation in the Sociosanitary Ecosystem

Background: The historical fracture between biomedical positivism and social constructivism has perpetuated an epistemic schizophrenia, reducing the human body either to a molecular machine (Körper) or to a discursive epiphenomenon, thus obscuring the structural roots of illness....

Teachers’ Digital Competence for Multimodal Learning Environments: A Comparative Study Across Educational Levels in Galicia (Spain)

The assessment of teachers’ digital competence has become a key challenge for educational systems seeking to foster effective multimodal, online, and blended learning environments. This study examines the level of self-perceived digital competence and educators’ readiness to desi...

Combined sewer overflows attributable to wet weather season contributing to pharmaceutical pollution: a case study in northern Spain

The use of combined sewer systems is associated with frequent overflow events and discharges of untreated wastewater containing micropollutants, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of weather-related factors on the...

Stakeholder Engagement and SDGS Disclosure: A Systematic Review on Corporate Strategies

ABSTRACT The 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasize the importance of sustainability, prompting stakeholders to demand greater transparency from organizations. Understanding how to incorporate the SDGs into their strategies and effectively engage with...

Widespread hybridization in sympatric populations of allis shad Alosa alosa (L.1758) and twaite shad Alosa fallax (Lacépède 1803): A transnational perspective for conservation and management

Abstract The dynamics of hybridization between co‐occurring species in environments that have been modified by anthropogenic activities are important for generating new understandings of how species respond to disturbance and to support conservation management. Accordingly, the p...

Regio- and Enantioselective Functionalization of Gaseous Alkanes via Nickel-Catalyzed Alkene Dicarbofunctionalization

Abstract The regio- and enantioselective functionalization of gaseous alkanes remains an unsolved challenge in organic synthesis. Here, we report a general strategy for the asymmetric three-component dicarbofunctionalization of alkenes using readily available gaseous alkanes, inc...

Women at the Helm: Female Top Managers and Business Process Innovation in Ecuadorian Firms

Women’s participation in senior management has increased, yet evidence regarding its relationship with different forms of business innovation remains inconclusive, particularly in emerging economies. This study examines whether formal Ecuadorian firms with a woman as their top ma...

Effect of sonication on European and Peruvian lupin flours: impact on the technological quality of gluten‐free breads and as a partial substitute for wheat

BACKGROUND: A widely cultivated pulse, lupin, has garnered interest for its beneficial nutritional properties, especially for baking applications. The harmful alkaloid content and poor functional properties of lupin limit its wider use. Sonication is an ecofriendly technology use...

Limited global awareness of invasive alien species and little support for their management

Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the main drivers of global change and can cause a wide range of negative ecological and social impacts. Addressing these impacts requires management actions, which can fail to be effective when not supported by the public. Here, we conducte...

Polymer Coating Adhesion Drives Functional and Biological Outcomes in Meniscus Implants

Achieving stable integration of drug-releasing polymer coatings with load-bearing meniscus implants remains a challenge in biomaterials engineering. In this study, four surface modification strategies, femtosecond-pulsed laser treatment, oxygen plasma, polydopamine, and an ethyl-...

Er ist ganz verrückt nach Batman

Abstract The paper investigates the [Subj experiencer V copula Adj metaphorical PP stimulus ] intensification construction in German, French, and Italian within the framework of Construction Grammar. Based on extensive corpus data from the TenTen family (deTenTen23, itTenTen20, f...

Manner object constructions of satellite-framed languages with Spanish physiological verbs

Abstract Despite their unergative status, the Spanish verbs that express physiological processes are said to enter two transitive structures in which they are complemented by a direct object that is either the actor ( Golpearon con sus puños hasta sangrarlos sobre la puerta ‘They...

Comparing constructions in Romance and Germanic languages

Abstract In recent years, there has been a growing interest in applying Construction Grammar to cross-linguistic comparison. Traditionally, Construction Grammar has been extensively applied to English, to the detriment of other languages, especially Romance languages such as Span...

Towards a contrastive usage-based constructionist methodology for a cross-linguistic comparison of constructions

Abstract This paper presents a programmatic outline of a systematic approach to contrastive linguistic research within Construction Grammar(s) (CxG(s)). We address a number of theoretical and applied problems in Contrastive Construction Grammar, including the following: (1) Defin...

N-Adamantyl-1-Pentyl-4-Oxo-1,4-Dihydroquinoline-3-Carboxamide and N-(Adamantan-1-Yl)-2-(Alkyloxy)benzamide Derivatives as Fluorescent Probes for Selective CB2R Targeting

Background/Objectives: The cannabinoid receptor subtype 2 (CB2R) is an increasingly important therapeutic and diagnostic target because of its involvement in inflammation-associated disorders, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. CB2R biology has traditionally been in...

Salivary biomarkers of inflammation, angiogenesis, and aging in hookah smokers, cigarette smokers, and non-smokers

Hookah smoking is an increasingly prevalent form of tobacco consumption, particularly among young adults. Although conventional cigarette smoking is well established as a modulator of inflammatory and biological processes in the oral environment, salivary inflammatory and protect...

Combining TAG ‐ 72CAR with anti‐ MUC16CAR improves the potency of ovarian cancer treatment

Ovarian cancer (OC) is typically associated with poor prognosis and high mortality. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapy offers a promising strategy, yet its application in solid tumours remains constrained by limited efficacy and on‐target/off‐tumour toxicities. We pre...

Measurement distance effects on linear Taylor distributions for asymmetric radiation patterns with deep and filled nulls

Abstract This study investigated measurement distance effects on asymmetric linear Taylor radiation patterns, including configurations with deep and filled nulls. An extension of the Elliott–Stern method was used to compute the complex roots required for independent side lobe and...
