Serum GFAP and Age Accurately Distinguish AQP4 ‐ IgG Positive and Double Seronegative NMOSD From MOGAD After a Recent Attack

BACKGROUND: Serum neurofilament-light chain (sNfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (sGFAP) are associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) activity. This study aimed to identify patient- and disease-level determinants of sNfL and sGFAP and to evaluate their ability to support dif...

Trade union membership and heterosexist attitudes in Europe

This article investigates the attitudes of European trade union members towards LGBTQIA + people in the context of the recent (re)politicisation of gender and sexuality across Europe. Using, for 17 countries, data from the European Social Survey (2016–2024) and the European Value...

Linear dynamics of random products of weighted shifts

The aim of this article is to study the dynamics of random products of weighted shifts on a separable Fréchet sequence space. That is, given a measure-preserving dynamical system $(Ω, \mathcal{F}, μ, τ)$, a Fréchet sequence space $X$ with a basis $(e_n)_{n \geq 0}$, and a strongl...

A review on catalyst deactivation in the oxidative desulfurization process: Causes and mitigation strategies

In recent years, oxidative desulfurization (ODS) has gained significant attention as a promising solution for removing sulfur compounds from fuel oils, particularly heavy marine fuels, to comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations. While most ODS studies focus o...

Low intensity transcranial electrical stimulation for schizophrenia: a triple-blind, randomized, sham-controlled multicenter trial (STIM’Zo)

Persistent symptoms in schizophrenia remain a major therapeutic challenge. Noninvasive electrical stimulation such as transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) may alleviate auditory hallucinations and negative symptoms, although existing evidence is limited to case reports an...

Molecular mechanisms of supercritical CO2-induced interfacial softening in curcumin polymorphs

Unique properties of supercritical CO 2 (scCO 2 ) make it one of the most interesting “green” solvents for pharmaceutical particle formation and polymorph engineering. However, due to the complexity of the scCO 2 dynamics, the molecular mechanisms by which scCO 2 alters the stabi...

Enhancement of mechanical performance in metakaolin-based geopolymer by cyclic loading and creep process in relation with microstructural evolution

Geopolymers are more and more widely used in engineering applications as low carbon construction materials. Their mechanical properties under monotonic loading have been widely investigated. However, there is still a crucial need to investigate their mechanical responses under cy...

Policies and practices for sustainable preservation of theses and dissertations in higher education institutes

This study examines the digital preservation landscape for Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) across global Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Employing a qualitative, empirical research design, the study utilizes Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) and Document Analysi...

Exploring the spatial distribution of biomolecules in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms formed on PDMS and lung explants by mass spectrometry imaging

Bacterial biofilms constitute a form of collective organization that enhances bacterial tolerance to both antibiotics and immune defences. Among bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a major opportunistic pathogen, with marked biofilm-forming capacity, highly implic...

Poetry Under Fire – What Poems Did During the First World War: 2025 Dennis Showalter Memorial Lecture

This is a redrafted version of Julia Ribeiro Thomaz’s Dennis Showalter Memorial Lecture, originally delivered at Edinburgh Napier University’s Craiglockhart Campus in November 2025. Drawing upon the author’s doctoral thesis and subsequent book Poésie sous le feu (2026), it consid...

Interpretable machine learning for automatic rock mass classification in TBM tunneling: a case study of Beishan URL

Abstract Accurate rock mass classification is essential for safe tunnel boring machine (TBM) excavation, yet raw TBM monitoring data are often affected by shutdowns, machine adjustments, and transient disturbances, weakening their correlation with geological conditions. This stud...

Symmetry-based pulsed DNP and EPR sequences

Pulsed microwave irradiation provides more versatile control over spin dynamics than continuous-wave (CW) methods. This study adapts symmetry-based dipolar recoupling sequences, which are originally designed for magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR, to exploit electron-nuclear interact...

Inhibition of oxytocin neurons during key periods of development has long-term behavioral and body composition effects

Abstract Background: Oxytocin (OT) is a key neuromodulator of social behavior in mammals, and accumulating evidence supports the existence of a critical period for OT action during infancy. However, other developmental windows remain poorly explored, and it remains unclear whethe...

Diluted Etilefrine for Neonatal Chylothorax: A 96-Hour Physicochemical Stability Study

Background/Objectives: Etilefrine is a sympathomimetic agent increasingly used off-label as a rescue therapy for refractory neonatal chylothorax. For continuous intravenous administration in neonates, the commercially available 10 mg/mL formulation requires substantial dilution t...

Targeting Both Oncogenic Signaling and Dependence Receptor Function is Required to Fully Suppress MET Exon 14 Skipping-Driven tumorigenesis

Abstract Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) classically function as oncogenic drivers that promote survival and proliferation upon ligand binding. A subset of RTKs can also function as dependence receptors, inducing apoptosis in the absence of their ligands. Genetic alterations tha...

Dust radiative effects and impact on energy production over the Mediterranean Basin

Abstract. Atmospheric aerosols are among the key factors affecting the Earth’s radiation budget, playing a fundamental role in understanding climate forcing, feedback mechanisms, and their impact on future climate projections and on solar energy systems. More specifically, dust a...

Ground beetles in agroforestry system show functional traits and activity-density differences according to distance to trees

Alley-cropping systems are arable agroforestry systems in which tree rows and associated grassy strips are established within cropped fields. This constitutes a promising approach to promote biodiversity and associated services in the vicinity of crops. However, there is still li...

Assessing port infrastructure criticality and vulnerability for climate adaptation planning: Insights from three European ports

Climate change is increasing the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, directly threatening critical port infrastructure and the stability of global supply chains. Effective adaptation planning requires systematic tools capable of identifying the most critical and cl...

Valorization of Beach-Cast Biomass from the Invasive Seaweed Rugulopteryx okamurae on the Moroccan Coast: A Comparative Assessment of Extraction Conditions for Sodium Alginate Recovery

Rugulopteryx okamurae is an aggressively invasive seaweed whose proliferation along the Moroccan coastline represents both an ecological problem and an underexploited source of biomass. This work highlights the isolation of sodium alginate from R. okamurae under four combinations...

EXPRESS: Keyboard Layout Facilitates Anagram Solving: Evidence for Embodied Effects of Typewriting.

Motor experience related to writing influences reading performance, from letter recognition to word recognition. In our study, we tested the hypothesis that knowledge of the keyboard layout associated to typing promotes the retrieval of the order of the sequence of letters compos...
