Legal Chameleons: Political Ideology, Institutional Histories, and Firms’ Management of Identity Cues

This study examines how foreign firms strategically manage the salience of foreignness when facing unfavorable domestic evaluators. Foreign firms do so by altering the ethnic composition of the agents representing them before the evaluators. We examine this question in the contex...

Hearing Screening Among Underserved US Adults: A Scoping Review of Modalities and Determinants

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate existing literature on hearing screening outcomes and follow‐through among the adult population in the US. Data Sources PubMed, Ovid Medline, Scopus, and CINAHL databases. Review Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed,...

Health Insurance and Untreated Dental Caries Among Children in the United States: The Mediating Role of Dental Care Utilization

ABSTRACT Objective We evaluate the extent to which dental care utilization mediates the relationship between health insurance type and untreated dental caries among children in the United States. Methods Our study population included children ages 2–18 in the 2017–March 2020 Nati...

Immune Biomarkers of Islet Transplant Rejection Revealed by Synthetic Immunological Niche

ABSTRACT Islet transplantation can restore glycemic control in type 1 diabetes, yet heterogeneity of immune responses and transplant outcomes necessitates improved graft monitoring. Since transplanted islets are diffusely engrafted within the liver and inaccessible to biopsy, cli...

Subverting the Dominant Paradigm in Metal–Organic Framework Activation

Abstract The necessity of solvent exchange and evacuation for metal–organic framework (MOF) activation is investigated using HKUST-1, UiO-66, and Zn-MOF-74 as model systems. High surface areas are achieved by simple thermal treatment directly from either the synthesis solvent or...

Responsible management education calls for a fundamental curriculum transformation

Purpose Business education is stuck in outmoded ideas of business, the market and the world. We have known this for decades, but little has changed. As problems like climate change and inequality worsen, the challenge of creating responsible management education is not to find wa...

RINGSIDE Phase II Study of Varegacestat for Treatment of Desmoid Tumors: A Randomized Dose-Finding Clinical Trial

PURPOSE Desmoid tumors (DTs) are rare, often locally aggressive, connective tissue neoplasms with limited effective treatment options. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of varegacestat, an oral gamma-secretase inhibitor. METHODS RINGSIDE phase II was an open-label, randomized,...

Large language models unlock the ecology of species interactions

Species interactions shape population dynamics, geographic distributions, evolutionary trajectories, and responses to environmental change. Yet data on these interactions remain scarce across broad spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scales because they are difficult to collect in t...

From access to confidence: Closing the 3D printing self-efficacy gap with a brief mandatory exercise

Additive manufacturing (AM) competence is increasingly expected of mechanical engineering graduates, but AM training comparable to that of traditional manufacturing tools can seem difficult to fit into existing coursework. Printer access alone leaves students roughly one Likert p...

Contraception requirements in clinical HIV research: a qualitative analysis of adolescent perspectives from Malawi and Botswana

Abstract Background Clinical HIV research involving investigational or newly approved medications requires women of childbearing potential to use two forms of contraception to minimize fetal risk. These requirements also apply to adolescents who can become pregnant, yet ethical a...

AASLD EXPO: Liver biopsy

Background: Liver biopsy is a foundational tool in hepatology, providing direct histologic assessment of hepatic parenchyma. Although noninvasive approaches have substantially reduced the need for biopsy in practice, it continues to play a critical role in diagnosis, staging, and...

The silent pandemic: the overlooked toll of stroke compared to COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic will be remembered as one of the defining health crises of the modern era. The World Health Organization reported approximately 7 million deaths attributed to COVID-19 globall...

Experimental study of a ten sodium heat pipe bundle array with various failure modes

Alkali metal heat pipes are key components for high-temperature heat removal in microreactors, where multiple heat pipes are embedded directly within the reactor core. Their collective thermal behavior, including interactions under off-normal conditions, remains insufficiently ch...

Cervical cancer screening in China: a mixed methods approach to understanding perception, practice, and prevention

Cervical cancer remains a significant global public health concern, particularly affecting younger women. Despite increasing awareness and national initiatives to encourage prevention, cervical cancer screening among Chinese women aged 18–45 remains suboptimal. This study used an...

A multiomic atlas reveals distinct immune landscapes in preterm and term chronic placental inflammation

Chronic placental inflammation (CPI), an umbrella term encompassing chronic chorioamnionitis, chronic villitis, and chronic deciduitis, is associated with preterm birth (PTB), yet its cellular and molecular determinants across gestation remain poorly defined. Here, we constructed...

Electrophoretic Deposition of Additive-Free Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-67-Derived Cobalt Oxide Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Additive-free electrode architectures are important for clarifying the intrinsic lithium-storage behavior of MOF-derived conversion-type anode materials, because conventional slurry electrodes contain polymer binders and conductive carbon additives that can obscure the electroche...

Development and Implementation of an Interactive Data Dashboard for Inclusive Public Transit: Design and Dissemination

Public transit systems represent structural conditions that constrain or liberate how people travel through space. However, data documenting the accessibility of public transit systems in the United States (U.S.) is sparse, not nationally integrated, and rarely communicated in pl...

Intra-individual variability of urinary non-persistent chemical concentrations during pregnancy in the ECHO Cohort

Studies of prenatal exposure to non-persistent chemicals often assume biomarker measurements from a single urine sample can represent exposure pregnancy. The validity of this assumption depends on biomarker concentration variability across gestation, which is not well-characteriz...

Surrogate Decision-Making for Older Adults With and Without Dementia

Importance End-of-life care for older individuals in the US frequently includes interventions that may be burdensome and inconsistent with patient preferences. Few experimental studies have assessed potentially modifiable factors associated with surrogate recommendations. Objecti...

The Composite Spectrum of QSO Absorption Line Systems in DESI DR2

Abstract We present details regarding a composite spectrum of quasar (QSO) absorption line systems. In this composite spectrum, we identify more than 70 absorption lines and observe oxygen and hydrogen emission features at a higher signal-to-noise ratio than any previous study. A...
