LogicGate: A Student-Centred Digital Game-Based Learning Experience

Abstract Although there are many digital educational games, few are designed to fully support and deliver a comprehensive student-centred learning experience. This study develops and evaluates a digital game-based learning experience, designed using the Student-Centred Experience...

Evaluation of the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Peste Des Petits Ruminants (PPR), Sheep and Goat Pox (SGP) and Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) Multivalent Vaccine (JOVAC-Combo®) Under Field Conditions in Somalia

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), sheep and goat pox (SGP), and contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) are diseases of small ruminants and are the major constraints to livestock trading in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Vaccination against these diseases individually is ch...

Entrepreneurship and Employment: The Simultaneous Impacts of Establishment Births versus Deaths on Regional Employment across the United States

This study investigates the non-linear effects of establishment births versus deaths on regional employment, which show asymmetric pathways between intra-regional versus inter-regional spillovers. Using state-year data on establishment births, deaths, and employment for service s...

Time, place, person: Field epidemiology as a political practice

Abstract Five years after the end of the Ebola epidemic, a district in Sierra Leone received a measles alert. This article tells the story of the epidemic that followed and the response that was mounted in the context of the new global epidemic preparedness and biosecurity paradi...

Pharmacological pain relief and postpartum bleeding in women with moderate or severe anemia: A cohort analysis of the WOMAN ‐2 trial

OBJECTIVE: Pain relief could minimize blood loss by limiting the adrenaline stress response to fear and trauma during birth. We examined the association between pharmacological pain relief and postpartum bleeding in a large cohort of women giving birth with anemia in sub-Saharan...

Behavior Setting Map: guiding content design for real-world VR applications

Abstract Virtual Reality (VR) applications based on real-world contexts, such as training, healthcare, and entertainment, rely on varying degrees of replication of real settings. However, there is a lack of systematic design support for determining which elements of a setting to...

Contesting care, navigating paradoxes: a thematic reflexive analysis of eating disorders advocates voices

Abstract Eating disorders (EDs) are a growing public health concern in the United States, yet advocacy for improved treatment and awareness remains underexplored in academic research. While advocacy movements in fields such as HIV/AIDS or breast cancer have received sustained att...

A Framework for Quantifying Diverse Multi‐Hazard Interactions to Enhance Climate Resilience

ABSTRACT Multi‐hazard events generate impacts exceeding those of individual hazards but remain difficult to assess due to complex interactions. This study presents a generalized framework for analyzing four interaction types—multivariate, preconditioned and triggering, spatially,...

24-hour Movement Behaviours and Multimorbidity in Malawi: protocol for a cross-sectional study

Background Multimorbidity – the co-existence of two or more long-term conditions in an individual – is a growing problem in Malawi, as the population transitions from predominantly young and rural to older and more urban. People living with multimorbidity experience lower quality...

Enhancing Early-Age Strength of Low-Clinker Limestone Calcined Clay Cement Using Sodium Carbonate and Chemical Accelerators

While limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 50%, low early-age strength in low-clinker formulations limits its structural adoption. This study investigates practical strategies to accelerate early strength development in low-clinker LC3 mortars (c...

BOXBOX: Evaluating Large Language Models on Sequential Race-Strategy Decisions.

Large language models are increasingly proposed asdecision-makers in sequential, high-stakes settings, yet evaluatingtheir decision quality is difficult: benchmarks risk contaminationfrom training data, and the quality of a real decision is hardto score objectively. We introduce...

Impact of Charlson Comorbidity Index conditions on one-year survival in patients with breast cancer: a Danish population-based cohort study

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in women. The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) is a widely used tool for quantifying multimorbidity. As the population ages, breast cancer incidence and comorbidity prevalence are expected to grow. We therefore investigate...

Clinical Behaviour and Outcome of Pelvic Osteosarcoma in Dogs: A Retrospective Multicentre Analysis of 74 Cases (2007–2025)

Although osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumour in dogs, involvement of the pelvic bones is rare. The aim of the present study was to describe clinical presentation, identify possible prognostic factors, and evaluate outcomes in dogs diagnosed with pelvic osteosarcom...

Childcare in Transition: Evidence That Patterns of Childcare Differ by Degree of Market Integration in Northwestern Tanzania

Highlights This study uses novel data on multiple childcare types from both kin and nonkin in two culturally similar communities with varying market integration. It tests the hypothesis that market integration is associated with reduced kin support. Who provides support and the t...

Why food stays contaminated: a COM-B framework analysis of child feeding practices in Dhaka’s informal settlements

Abstract Background Foodborne diseases are the major public health concerns in low- and middle-income countries, particularly during the complementary feeding period. Children become increasingly exposed to environmental pathogens at this age. Food hygiene during this period is c...

Harnessing Diversity: Majority‐Group Acculturation Predicts Creativity and Flourishing Over Time

ABSTRACT Creativity and flourishing are core aims of higher education (HE) institutions and government initiatives globally. Large‐scale projects have linked creativity and flourishing with cultural diversity, yet their associations with majority‐group acculturation (i.e., how me...

Reinforcement Technologies in Flexible Composite Pipes: Engineering principles, reinforcement architectures and application-based selection

Flexible composite pipes (FCPs) are increasingly used across energy and industrial applications, where their corrosion resistance, low weight, spoolability and installation efficiency offer significant advantages over conventional metallic pipeline systems. Central to their struc...
