Job rotation: A bibliometric analysis

BACKGROUND: Job rotation is a strategic practice aimed at improving employees' health, satisfaction, and overall productivity in organizations. Its ergonomic aspects are crucial because they help balance workload, reduce ergonomic risks, and support an aging workforce. OBJECTIVE:...

University research translated into pharmaceutical production

Professor Ilyan Chankhovich Kan of the University of Maribor is a Russian pharmaceutical scientist whose work combines industrial pharmacy, biotechnology and pharmaceutical engineering. His research programme spans patented manufacturing methods and emerging platforms involving p...

Patch test reactions to dental materials

Background Patch testing is used when delayed-type hypersensitivity to dental materials is suspected, but no European baseline series exists for patients with suspected allergy to dental materials. Objectives To describe patch test positivity to a 24-allergen dental series, asses...

Digital solutions for tackling mental health in cancer patients and their families: The ALTHEA project

Despite advances in cancer treatment, the growing global cancer burden underscores the need for comprehensive and supportive care to address the needs of patients and their families. However, access to psycho-oncological support remains often limited across healthcare systems. Th...

Psychometric properties of the European health literacy survey questionnaire short-short form (HLS-EU-Q6) among Slovenian youth, adults, and older adults

Abstract Background Health literacy is an important determinant of health behaviours and self-rated health, making brief, valid, and reliable assessment tools essential. The six-item European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q6) has rarely been validated across age gr...

Association of Chest Compression Depth, Rate, and Spring Resistance with “Quality CardioPulmonary Resuscitation” (QCPR) Scores in a Manikin Model

Training in high-quality chest compressions (CCs) is essential for effective resuscitation; however, it remains unclear how accurately real-time feedback systems, such as Laerdal Medical's (Stavanger, Norway) Quality CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (QCPR) scoring system, reflect gu...

Charting the life of Billboard hits through memory, turnover and predictability

Abstract Rankings shape the visibility and success of cultural products, yet their temporal dynamics remain underexplored when comparing distinct ranked objects within the same domain. Here, we use nearly seven decades of Billboard Hot 100 songs and six decades of Billboard 200 a...

Fault‐Tolerant Mutual‐Visibility: Complexity and Solutions for Grid‐Like Networks

ABSTRACT Networks are often modeled using graphs, and within this setting we introduce the notion of ‐fault‐tolerant mutual visibility. Informally, a set of vertices in a graph is a ‐fault‐tolerant mutual‐visibility set (‐ftmv set) if any two non‐adjacent vertices in are connecte...

Evaluation of Systemic Pharmacotherapy in Bacterial Skin Infections: Adherence to Clinical Guidelines and Factors Associated with Treatment Outcomes

Background: Bacterial skin infections frequently require systemic antibiotic therapy, and adherence to clinical guidelines is important for optimizing treatment outcomes and antimicrobial stewardship. This study evaluated systemic pharmacotherapy for bacterial skin infections, gu...

Digital Future Orientation, Digital Capability, Ecosystem Openness, Innovation Intensity, and International Orientation as Correlates of Sustainable Business Model Orientation and Digital–Sustainability Alignment: Evidence from Slovenia

Digitalisation and sustainability are increasingly expected to reinforce one another, yet firm-level evidence does not justify treating their convergence as automatic. This study examines how digital future orientation, current digital capability, open ecosystem orientation, inno...

Predicting the Unpredictable: Development and External Validation of the GO SOAR Surgical Risk Calculator for Data-Driven Predictions of Surgical Complications in Gynaecological Oncology Surgery

Background/Objectives: Universal surgical risk calculators are not validated for use and poorly predict postoperative morbidity and mortality for women undergoing gynaecological oncology surgery. This adversely affects communication of risk resulting in poorly informed decisions...

Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Validation of the Cancer Survivors’ Unmet Needs Measure (CaSUN) in Russian- and Kazakh-Speaking Cancer Survivors in Kazakhstan

Background/Objectives: The growing population of cancer survivors has increased the need for reliable, culturally appropriate instruments to identify unmet supportive care needs. The Cancer Survivors’ Unmet Needs Measure (CaSUN) is a survivorship-specific assessment tool, but val...

Automated Spin‐Assisted Layer‐by‐Layer Epitaxy Produces Highly Oriented Mixed‐Linker MOF Thin Films

ABSTRACT Control over crystallographic orientation in metal‐organic framework (MOF) thin films is crucial for exploiting their anisotropic properties in sensing, catalysis, and separation. Achieving reproducible, highly oriented films remains challenging, especially for mixed‐lin...

Development and Psychometric Validation of the Museum Quality and Museum Perceived Value Scales

Reliable and culturally appropriate measurement instruments are essential for advancing museum research and enabling meaningful comparisons across studies. However, evidence regarding the psychometric performance of existing scales outside their original cultural settings remains...

Fetal Magnetocardiography Using Optically Pumped Magnetometers: A Literature Review

Fetal magnetocardiography (fMCG) provides direct non-invasive assessment of fetal cardiac electrophysiology, enabling detailed evaluation of cardiac rhythm, conduction, and repolarization. However, the clinical adoption of conventional fMCG has been limited by its reliance on sup...

Silver‐Modulated Copper Dynamics Under Pulsed Tandem Electrochemical CO 2 Reduction

ABSTRACT Pulsed electrolysis and Cu‐Ag tandem catalysis are both promising strategies for electrochemical CO 2 reduction, yet their interplay remains unclear. Here, we show that pulsed operation does not preserve the as‐prepared Cu‐Ag catalyst and instead generates a dynamic bime...

GlycanAge dynamics and their relationship to SCORE2 risk change over six months: a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Chronological age dominates cardiovascular (CVD) risk prediction, but glycan-based measures may better reflect biological ageing. In this secondary analysis of a six-month randomized controlled trial in Slovenia, we examined whether IgG glycosylation–derived biological a...

Use of Hydrogen Energy Storage to Stabilize Solar Power Output With an Energy Efficiency Analysis for European Union Member Countries

ABSTRACT Seasonal energy storage as compressed hydrogen offers a potential solution to balance the power grid as intermittent renewable energy sources are expected to increase in capacity due to decarbonization efforts in developed countries. Public hourly electricity production...

Developing a core competency framework for psychiatric pharmacists: a Europe-wide e-Delphi consensus study conducted by the European Society of Clinical Pharmacy Mental Health Special Interest Group

Abstract Introduction Consensus on essential clinical activities of psychiatric pharmacists is currently unavailable. Agreement on core non-clinical roles relating to research, education, leadership and management is also unavailable. Consensus on the core clinical and non-clinic...
