Austro-Marxism and the Habsburg Crisis: A Non-Territorial Response to the Conflict of Governance and Class

This article re-examines the national theory of Austro-Marxism as a response to the dual crisis of the late Habsburg Empire: the paralysis of imperial governance and the erosion of cross-national class solidarity. Karl Renner and Otto Bauer proposed a non-territorial federal sche...

ADAM17 pathway promotes canine mammary tumor cell migration

Abstract Background ADAM17, also known as tumor necrosis factor-converting enzyme (TACE), is a pleiotropic protease that contributes to inflammation and cancer progression by activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling and IL-6 trans-signaling, among other pathwa...

Design and Validation of a Governed Data Lakehouse Architecture for Big Data Analytics: Evidence from a Smart Port

Big Data platforms are expected to unify data engineering, governance and machine learning in one environment, and the data lakehouse has become the dominant architectural answer. Empirical evaluations on real operational data remain scarce, and those that exist tend to validate...

Temporal stability and characteristics of breeding sites for Anopheles coluzzii, a major malaria vector on the island of São Tomé

Abstract Background Characterization of mosquito breeding sites is important for efficient, targeted vector control. Such information is lacking for the tropical African island of São Tomé where malaria cases are low but persistent and larvicidal control is regularly utilized. He...

Do cork oak trees grow in the dry, hot summer of the mediterranean climate?

Abstract Monitoring stem radial intra-annual growth dynamics is a useful approach for characterising tree growth responses to climate change. In the Mediterranean there have been only a few studies reporting growth responses of cork oak ( Quercus suber L.) to seasonal water short...

HIP to save: A typology of consumer saving with implications for theory and practice

Abstract After the 2008 financial crisis, the study of saving money skyrocketed among consumer psychologists. The present article seeks to integrate this burgeoning literature by delineating three different types of saving, represented by the acronym HIP: (1) hustling , or saving...

More is not always better: Dissociative photoionization limits the EUV absorbing photoacid generator pentafluorophenyl triflate in photolithography

Pentafluorophenyl triflate has been explored as a highly absorbing neutral photoacid generator (PAG) candidate for next-generation chemically amplified resists used in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Although increased fluorination enhances EUV absorption, this study demon...

From trust to retirement preparedness: the mediating role of financial behavior and financial resilience

Population ageing and demographic shifts in the European Union are placing increasing strain on traditional pension systems, shifting greater responsibility to individuals to ensure their own retirement preparedness. In this context, identifying factors that strengthen individual...

Pre-specified Protocol: Bibliometric Science Mapping of Fuzzy Neural Networks (2020-2026)

This deposit is the pre-specified protocol for a bibliometric science mapping of Fuzzy Neural Networks (FNN) and neuro-fuzzy architectures published between 2020 and 2026. It records the study design, the corpus construction procedure, and the analysis plan before any results are...

Venetian traditions and Iberian adaptations: technological transfer and local production in 17th-century glass from Majorca

This study investigates the glassmaking traditions and trade dynamics in Majorca, Spain, from the 14th to the late 17th centuries. While the Iberian Peninsula is historically recognized as a significant centre for glass production, archaeological data supporting the development a...

Aphanomyces euteiches causes disease in Lathyrus sativus with a globally diverse, polygenic resistance landscape

Abstract Key message Aphanomyces euteiches inoculation of a global Lathyrus sativus collection allowed the identification of sources of resistance and associated candidate genes. Abstract Aphanomyces euteiches is a major concern in legume crops with limited efficient methods for...

The application of lean methodology in the preoperative phase: a scoping review

Lean methodology, initially developed in manufacturing, is increasingly applied in healthcare to reduce inefficiencies. Despite its growing use, its application in the preoperative phase of surgery remains underexplored, though it may offer substantial benefits in improving effic...

Generational changes in lung function in adults from several world regions: results from the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease study

This study estimated birth cohort effects on lung function using BOLD (Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease) data from 28 569 adults born between 1902 and 1976 across 41 sites in 34 countries. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 ) and the FEV 1 /FVC...

ReScale4DL: balancing pixel and contextual information for enhanced bioimage segmentation

Abstract Deep learning is the state-of-the-art approach for bioimage segmentation. However, it presents a paradox regarding image resolution: counterintuitively, deep learning segmentation performance can improve with lower image resolutions. This phenomenon is particularly signi...

Cavell and Deleuze: Genre as Medium, Death as Image

This paper proposes the concept of the “death-image” as a point of convergence between the film-philosophies of Stanley Cavell and Gilles Deleuze. While Cavell and Deleuze are rarely brought together—given Cavell’s emphasis on ordinary language, skepticism, and ethics, and Deleuz...

A Value-Based Health Care Maternity Program and Perinatal Outcomes in Brazil

The Brazilian private health sector is characterized by cesarean delivery rates approaching 88% and fragmented maternity care models, contributing to preventable perinatal complications and high health care costs. Value-based health care (VBHC) frameworks offer a structured appro...

The burden of chronic urticaria in Portuguese patients: a patient-reported observational study

Chronic urticaria (CU) is characterised by the recurrent appearance of wheals, angioedema, or both, persisting for more than six weeks. Despite its recognised impact on quality of life (QoL), the health and social burden of CU remains poorly characterised in Portugal. This cross-...

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) in Coinage Metal Nanoclusters: Bridging Molecular and Nanoscopic Photophysics

Abstract Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) in coinage metal nanoclusters (CMNCs) has introduced new paradigms in the design of optoelectronic materials, uniting atomic precision with tunable quantum and photophysical properties. This review provides a critical and c...
