The measurement of Christian nationalism in broader perspective: a systematic reevaluation

Abstract The literature on Christian nationalism has expanded and matured quickly. Nonetheless, few pieces have documented the measurement properties of its namesake concept, and those that have trumpet conclusions that vary from “the most common measure is flawed” to “Christian...

Neutrophil-derived oncostatin m contributes to endothelial cell dysfunction during Treponema denticola interaction

Periodontitis (PD) is a common chronic inflammatory condition and a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), yet underlying linking mechanisms remain unclear. The cytokine Oncostatin M(OSM) is elevated in both PD and CVD and has emerged as a potential mediator linking oral...

In Pursuit of Enduring Inactivation: A Perspective on the Development and Study of Irreversible-Covalent Inhibitors

Abstract Molecules that form irreversible covalent bonds with their targets are a mainstay of drug discovery and chemical biology research. Their ability to permanently inactivate an enzyme target provides a mechanism with significant potential to modulate disease phenotypes. Thi...

Evaluating Creative Cognition as a Risk and Resilience Factor for Burnout in Pediatric Emergency Medicine

OBJECTIVES: Burnout is common among pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) physicians, but the relationship between creative problem-solving (CPS) preferences and burnout is not well understood. This study examined associations between CPS mindsets and burnout in PEM. METHODS: This c...

Using the Yellow River Challenge to Integrate Literacy and Engineering in a Multilingual Third‐Grade Classroom: Taking Initial Steps Toward Translanguaging

ABSTRACT Engineering design challenges offer a potentially rich site for providing learning opportunities for emergent bilingual and multilingual learners. This intrinsic case study demonstrates how Emily, a third‐grade teacher and co‐author on this article, integrated literacy a...

Comparative Study of Five Distinct Etching Strategies to Synthesize 2D (Mo 2/3 Nd 1/3 ) 2 CT x i ‐MXene From (Mo 2/3 Nd 1/3 ) 2 AlC i ‐MAX Phase

ABSTRACT The discovery of in‐plane ordered MAX ( i ‐MAX) phases containing lanthanides provides a promising route to novel MXenes. Most MXenes have transition elements occupying the M site. However, the distinctive optical and magnetic properties of lanthanides could yield multif...

Salivary microbiome responses to chlorhexidine and Coriandrum sativum essential oil mouthwashes in patients with periodontitis in a randomized 2-week clinical trial

To compare the short-term salivary microbiome effects of a Coriandrum sativum essential oil (CSEO) mouthwash, chlorhexidine (CHX) as a benchmark comparator, and water in patients with periodontitis. In this randomized three-arm trial, participants with periodontitis rinsed twice...

Screen Time and Suicidal Behavior

AIM: The widespread use of technology raises concerns about the risks associated with elevated screen time among adolescents. The present study explored whether electronic bullying mediates the relationship between screen time and suicidal behavior among high school students. MET...

Sex, Drugs, and the Language of Donor Narratives: Associations With Kidney Acceptance.

Background: Despite the shortage of donor kidneys, nonutilization remains common. We hypothesized that social history language in donor narratives influences acceptance. Using Natural Language Processing, we evaluated how language describing high-risk behaviors interacts with obj...

The Global Pesticide Complex: Infrastructure, Fragility and Frontiers of Agrarian Change

ABSTRACT Although most pesticides have long been on the market, the political economy surrounding their production, regulation and use has undergone considerable change, spurring renewed interest in the social sciences. The global pesticide complex (GPC) is an analytical device t...

Trends in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Procedure Volume Recorded in MBSAQIP, 2015–2024

BACKGROUND: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is the most effective treatment for severe obesity; however, national procedure volume is not well characterized. We examined trends in MBS utilization in the United States from 2015 to 2024 using the Metabolic and Bariatric Surge...

Hearts too small for body size after doxorubicin for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: Grinch Syndrome

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in childhood cancer survivors. We assessed the very long-term cardiac structure and function of adult survivors of childhood leukemia treated with anthracycline-based therapy. One hundred fifteen patients with hig...

Stability and cross-lagged associations of thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, suicidal ideation and NSSI in adolescents

Interpersonal relationships are central to the adolescent developmental period, a time in which suicidal ideation (SI) and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) also are prevalent. Yet interpersonal risk for adolescent SI and NSSI remains under-researched in adolescents. The current st...

Orbit misbehavior, isotropy discontinuity, and large isotypic components

Let G be a compact Hausdorff group acting on a compact Hausdorff space X, α an irreducible G-representation, and C(X) the C∗-algebra of complex-valued continuous functions on X. We prove that the isotypic component C(X)α is finitely generated as a module over the invariant subalg...

A multiplexed targeted mass spectrometric assay for quantifying obesity-associated biomarkers in human plasma

Obesity is a major global public health challenge that contributes to numerous comorbidities and increased mortality. A better understanding of the biological mechanisms and disease risks associated with obesity requires robust monitoring of key circulating biomarkers, including...

Testing Risk Difference of Two Proportions for Combined Unilateral and Bilateral Data

ABSTRACT In clinical studies with paired organs, binary outcomes often exhibit intra‐subject correlation and may include a mixture of unilateral and bilateral observations. Under Donner's constant correlation model, we develop three likelihood‐based test statistics (the likelihoo...

POCS: phased optimal client selection for federated learning

Abstract Traditional federated learning suffers from excessive communication overhead due to iterative model exchanges, long training time caused by data heterogeneity, and vulnerability to adversarial attacks due to gradient leakage risks. But if one strategically selects some s...

Orienting Participatory AI for Frontline Care Work: A Conceptual Framework for Technologists

Technologists increasingly turn to artificial intelligence (AI) to support frontline care workers ( FCWs ), via work-tracking applications, well-being monitoring systems, and other data-driven interventions aimed at improving care quality and working conditions for this vital lab...

Fundamentals of Arthroscopic Surgery Training Program Shows Transfer Validity Through Enhanced Operative Arthroscopic Performance

PURPOSE: To evaluate the content, construct, concurrent, and transfer validity of the Fundamentals of Arthroscopic Surgery Training (FAST) program and to determine whether FAST testing performance correlated with arthroscopic performance in the operating room. METHODS: Participan...

Longitudinal electric vehicle adoption patterns and neighborhood predictors in California

Objective Prior studies of determinants of Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) adoption have relied largely on cross-sectional data, obscuring temporal variation. We identified ZEV adoption trajectories in California ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) and related them to neighborhood dete...
