The Role of Performance Measurement in Managing Political‐Economic Tensions: A Case Study of Economic Value Added Adoption in a State‐Owned Enterprise

ABSTRACT This study examines how performance measurement systems (PMSs) mediate political‐economic tensions in Chinese state‐owned enterprises (SOEs), where state directives and market mechanisms coexist. Drawing on a longitudinal case study of a Chinese central SOE following the...

Breaking the Blend: A multi-tracer kinematic decomposition method for IFS data applied to disentangling the AGN outflow and circumnuclear ring in NGC 5728 with JWST

Abstract Integral field spectroscopy (IFS) of the central kiloparsecs of active galactic nuclei (AGN) reveals a mixture of spatially coincident emission from star-formation and AGN feedback exciting the interstellar medium. Disentangling these components remains a challenge, as m...

Transport capital and regional economic performance in Korea: Implications for balanced regional development under the public investment appraisal system

In 1999, Korea introduced the Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS), a mandatory appraisal framework for large-scale public investment projects that designates balanced regional development as a core policy objective. As the primary gateway for major public construction projects, t...

A generalizable biopsychosocial risk score for stratifying disease vulnerability in healthy populations

Prospective risk stratification of future adverse health outcomes before clinical onset among ostensibly healthy individuals is an important goal of preventive and precision medicine, yet current tools remain largely disease-specific and do not provide an integrated measure of he...

Mobilizing Dynamic‐Capability Microfoundations for Sustainability‐Oriented Innovation: The Role of Innovation Champions

ABSTRACT Organizations face growing pressure to respond to environmental and social challenges, yet research has not sufficiently explained how organizational actors mobilise dynamic‐capability microfoundations across the development of sustainability‐oriented innovations. Drawin...

Cutaneous Lymphoma International Prognostic Index and Risk Stratification in Advanced Mycosis Fungoides and Sézary Syndrome

Importance Risk stratification in advanced mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome (MF/SS) remains suboptimal given that current TNMB (tumor, node, metastasis, blood) staging has limited prognostic value for clinically relevant outcomes. Objective To determine whether the Cutaneous...

A human-centred design of a novel user interface that combines submarine systems and integrates augmented reality

Abstract Modern submarine control rooms are the outcome of an iterative design process, that incorporates advancing technology, increasing automation, and evolving ways of working. Novel user interfaces that address existing limitations in contemporary submarine systems is one wa...

Photonic integrated recurrent spectrum slicer enabling low complexity direct detection over 200 GBaud dispersive links

Abstract The rising demand for data-intensive workloads in the network is driving the development of scalable and energy-efficient optical communication infrastructure. Intensity modulation with direct detection (IM/DD) remains the preferred choice for cost-sensitive systems but...

Mapping equity-relevant inputs of AI mental health tools to routine primary care data: a population-based study of 7.19 million adults with multiple long-term conditions in England

Abstract Background Artificial intelligence-enabled tools are increasingly used to support mental health diagnosis, triage and clinical decision-making. However, limited evidence exists on whether these tools incorporate equity-relevant population characteristics, particularly am...

Plant functional type composition drives summer carbon cycling in an ombrotrophic peatland

Abstract Peatlands are globally important carbon sinks because plant CO 2 uptake outweighs microbial decomposition. These ecosystems are characterised by a distinct microtopography of hummocks and lawns, supporting vegetation communities composed of various plant functional types...

Human CD1c-autoreactive T-cells recognise Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected antigen-presenting cells and display cytotoxic effector programmes

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), remains the leading cause of death from infection globally yet the contribution of non-classical T-cell pathways to human immunity remains poorly defined. CD1c-autoreactive T-cells, which recognise self-lipids present...

Researchers please respond! The need for a shift from space and voice to audience and influence in autism research

This virtual special issue was curated to explore the archive of the International Journal of Research and Method in Education (IJRME) in relation to inclusive and participatory educational research with autistic children, young people and adults. This research area has undergone...

Reimagining sustainable education in Africa through decolonial pathways and indigenous knowledge systems

Despite the growing recognition of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) as vital for the sustainability of education in Africa, the majority of education systems across the continent still embody colonial epistemologies that marginalise local knowledge traditions. Existing literatu...

Uncovering lung virome signatures of COPD severity and acute exacerbations in longitudinally sampled AERIS cohort

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is increasingly recognized as a complex disorder in which microbial communities may modulate disease progression and exacerbation risk. We investigated the contribution of the respiratory virome to disease severity and acute exacerbati...

On the value of MRI in early cognitive risk prediction: survival analysis comparing statistical and machine learning models

Abstract Background Early identification of individuals at risk of developing amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) is essential for timely intervention in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). For such identification, MRI data may be included to capture brain changes and identify clinic...

“There Is Opacity Now at the Bottom of the Mirror”: The Aesthetics of Difficulty in the Long Poem

Many late modernist long poems are notoriously challenging to read. In this essay I ask whether difficulty is an integral feature of the long poem and discuss accounts and instances of poetic opacity in essays and poems by Édouard Glissant, Ann Lauterbach, Lyn Hejinian, Charles B...

The lived experience of trans persons: a bottom-up review co-written by experts by experience and academics.

We present here the first bottom-up review of the lived experience of trans persons, co-written by experts by experience and academics. We sourced the medical and non-medical literature, focusing on first-person narratives, and critically extracted experiential themes, which were...

A multimodal manual therapy, exercise, and psychological intervention for painful diabetic neuropathy: the NeuOst feasibility randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: People with painful diabetic neuropathy lack effective and tolerable treatments. Physical and psychological interventions may help but require further study and combination to maximise effects. Objectives: This single-site, 3-arm, parallel, randomised feasibility tr...

Evidence-based atlas of risk and protective factors for psychotic disorders: an umbrella review to inform personalized prognosis and prevention.

Identifying updated, evidence-based risk and protective factors for psychotic disorders is essential to advancing scientific and clinical knowledge of their etiology. Since the most recent umbrella review published in this journal, the evidence base has expanded substantially. Fo...

Rectifying market externalities via AI policymaking

Abstract Traditional competitive markets do not account for negative externalities; indirect costs that some participants impose on others, such as the cost of over-appropriating a common-pool resource (which diminishes future stock, and thus harvest, for everyone). Quantifying a...
