Programmable Closed Bipolar Electrochemical Platforms with Ion-Selective Electrode for Electrochemiluminescence Sensing

Abstract Precise and independent control of the interfacial potential of bipolar electrodes (BPEs) is essential for controllable and programmable bipolar electrochemical systems but remains challenging because BPE polarization is inherently coupled to the applied driving voltage...

An international multicenter analysis of the outcome of pediatric first variceal hemorrhage

Background & Aims: Management of portal hypertension in children including primary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding is controversial due to limited understanding of mortality risk after first variceal hemorrhage (1VH). This international multicenter study was designed to advance...

Embedding sustainability in higher education through a Motivation–Management–Leadership framework based on bibliometric analysis

Abstract While education is a recognised driver of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a significant implementation gap remains in translating sustainability concepts into student engagement and behavioural change. This study systematically maps the intellectual landscap...

New Record of Cruentomycena viscidocruenta (Cleland) R.H. Petersen and Kovalenko (Mycenaceae, Agaricomycetes) from Sabah (Northern Borneo), Malaysia

Abstract Multiple Cruentomycena individuals were collected from lowland dipterocarp forests in Sabah, northern Borneo, specifically within the pristine tropical forests of the Danum Valley Conservation Area and the Maliau Basin Conservation Area. To date, only four species have b...

Cross-cultural adaptation, translation, and psychometric evaluation of the simplified Chinese version of the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM)

The Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) questionnaire is a validated tool for evaluating non-technical skills in emergency team performance, such as trauma or resuscitation teams. Despite its translation into multiple languages, a Simplified Chinese version has not been vali...

Flexible guided-mode resonance cantilevers for non-contact optical sensing of sub-millinewton magnetic forces

Flexible guided mode resonance (GMR) devices offer a potential platform for sensitive optical detection of small-scale mechanical disturbances. This sensitivity is utilized in this study using a flexible PET-based GMR device built as a cantilever for small force sensing. A small...

Paradoxical leadership and innovative work behaviour: the roles of thriving at work and paradox mindset

Purpose Innovation is critical to higher education, yet how leadership enables faculty members to thrive and engage in innovative work behaviour (IWB) remains insufficiently understood. This study examines the association between paradoxical leadership and IWB through thriving at...

Optimization and sustainability assessment of hybrid PV-powered EV charging and hydrogen refueling systems for low-carbon transport

Abstract The rapid and simultaneous growth of electric vehicles (EVs) and hydrogen vehicles (HVs) has created an urgent need for integrated infrastructure capable of satisfying fundamentally different electricity and hydrogen demands while minimizing reliance on carbon-intensive...

Gut microbiome composition and oxalate-related metabolic functions in staghorn calcium oxalate stone formers: a shotgun metagenomic analysis

To characterize gut microbiome composition and oxalate-related metabolic functions in patients with staghorn calcium oxalate (CaOx) stones using shotgun metagenomic sequencing, and to determine whether specific bacterial taxa and pathways differ from controls without known urolit...

Numerical investigation of a perovskite-MXene functionalized D-shaped photonic crystal fiber-based SPR sensor for refractive index sensing

D -shaped fibers offer a practical platform for depositing plasmonic and functional materials, enabling efficient coupling of optical energy into the sensing medium. In this work, a highly sensitive perovskite–MXene-based D -shaped photonic crystal fiber ( D -PCF) surface plasmon...

Enhancing BIMFM integration in O&M stage of public commercial buildings: insights from Sichuan, China

Purpose This study seeks to enhance the implementation of building information modeling for facility management (BIMFM) in public commercial buildings within Sichuan Province, China, focusing on the operation and maintenance (O&M) stage. Despite BIM’s proven benefits in lifecycle...

Interventions to promote sustainable and healthy food choices in universities: a scoping review

Abstract Background University settings play a crucial role in shaping the dietary habits of young adults. In response to growing concerns about public health and environmental sustainability, increasing attention has been directed toward interventions that promote healthy and su...

National cultural dimensions and materiality assessment disclosure in sustainability reporting: cross-country evidence from the world’s leading companies

Abstract Materiality assessment is increasingly used in sustainability reporting to enhance transparency in identifying material sustainability issues. However, limited studies examine the determinants of materiality assessment disclosure (MAD), particularly at the country level....

From Conduit to Compliance Node: The Institutional Evolution of Supply Chain Intermediary Liability in China’s Anti-Counterfeiting Regime, 1979–2026

Background: Counterfeit goods realize illicit value only when moved, mainly by logistics intermediaries rather than counterfeiters, so how the law treats these intermediaries determines where enforcement can bite. This review traces the policies, laws, literature, and data releva...

Microcomputed tomographic evaluation of root filling removal techniques in long oval mandibular premolar canals

Abstract This investigation evaluated the efficiency of various root canal filling removal techniques in removing gutta-percha (GP) and iRoot SP sealer in mandibular premolars with long-oval shaped canal using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Forty-eight mandibular premolars...

Advances in predictive modeling of cranial growth in craniosynostosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background Craniosynostosis, characterized by premature fusion of cranial sutures, disrupts normal skull growth and may lead to neurological and functional complications. Despite advances in surgery, planning remains largely experience-based due to limited patient-specific predic...
