A Scoping Review of Sanitary Survey Methodology for Shellfish Harvesting Areas Across Seven European Jurisdictions

Sanitary surveys support the classification of shellfish harvesting areas and the design of microbiological monitoring programs under European shellfish hygiene legislation. These surveys identify sources of fecal contamination and assess the effect of environmental factors on sh...

The Italian Version of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Development of Clinical Skills Scale (LGBT-DOCSS): Validation Among Mental Health Professionals

INTRODUCTION: Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals experience substantial health inequalities, and clinical competence among healthcare providers is a key determinant of equitable care. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Development of Clinical Skills Scale (LGBT-...

Collaborative evaluation and tensions around knowledge production in sport for development

This paper explores the mundane dynamics underpinning collaborative evaluation in the Sport for Development sector. Drawing on 12 months of ethnographic research using remote participant observation, we document the epistemic tensions arising among various actors during the colla...

Reimagining epistemic justice: a dual-pathway model of decolonising the curriculum through student-staff partnerships

The decolonisation of the curriculum is a critical response to epistemic injustice and structural inequities in higher education. While initiatives often focus on content diversification, their impact on student experiences and the risk of superficial implementation are areas of...

Engagement with a theatre-in-education intervention and change in knowledge, refusal self-efficacy, and substance use likelihood

Background Universal school-based substance use prevention programmes typically show mixed effects. Theater-in-Education aims to influence early predictors of substance use, such as beliefs or behavioral intentions, through live performance. However, few quantitative studies have...

Voltammetry Zoo: A 3D-Printed Electrode Laboratory Activity for Teaching Electrochemistry in Secondary Education

Abstract Electrochemistry is often perceived as a conceptually challenging topic, particularly at the secondary school level, due to the abstract nature of processes occurring at the electrode–solution interface. To address this, we present the “Voltammetry Zoo”, an inquiry-based...

Thermophysiological and perceptual responses to exercise heat stress in people with cystic fibrosis on Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate thermophysiological and perceptual responses to exercise heat stress in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) on Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) versus healthy controls, and to explore their lived experiences of heat str...

Sex Differences in Prefrontal Oxygenation and Neuromuscular Fatigue to Incremental Cycling and Cognitive Testing Lead to Similar Cognitive Performance

Purpose: Cognitive-motor dual-task performance is prevalent in many sports and appears to be impaired during high-intensity exercise, in association with central fatigue and cerebral deoxygenation. However, the extent to which these responses differ between males and females rema...

Functional Nanostructured Carbon Honeycomb Monoliths for Hemoadsorption: Preliminary Studies on Biocompatibility, Protein-Bound Uremic Toxins and Inflammatory Cytokines Elimination

Rice husk (RH) is a renewable siliceous lignocellulosic waste providing a unique, greener and less toxic alternative to conventional synthetic polymeric precursors in the production of carbon-based materials for biomedical applications. In this work we studied the porous structur...

Annual and Seasonal Rainfall Variability in Mozambique During the Nineteenth Century

ABSTRACT Understanding long‐term rainfall variability is critical for assessing climate risk in drought‐prone regions of southern Africa, yet instrumental records for much of the subcontinent are short and spatially sparse. Here, we present the first annually and seasonally resol...

Public health, trade unions and empowerment: From learning to draft resolutions to addressing the socioeconomic determinants of health

Abstract Community empowerment projects aimed at improving health and wellbeing have tended to be ‘place-based’. But they may also be based on ‘communities of interest’. This paper advances an original conception of health-related empowerment by focusing on the work of trade unio...

Ablation removal of transport-blocking defects in surface-electrode ion traps

We demonstrate in situ removal of a transport-blocking defect on a surface-electrode ion trap device using a Q-switched Nd:YAG 532 nm pulsed ablation laser. This approach eliminates the need to vent and rebake the vacuum system, providing a low-overhead defect-remediation techniq...

Becoming a Polyphonic Individual: Chinese Female Doctors’ Working and Family Experience

The scholarship on Chinese womanhood has highlighted a split female subjectivity and fostered an enduring image of Chinese women as victims. Going beyond this image, the current study sought to explore how Chinese female doctors construct a polyphonic individual selfhood through...
