Skin Assessment Strategies for Identification of Pressure Injuries in Dark-Skin-Tone Patients: A Scoping Review

Background: Early pressure injury detection is essential in acute care, yet diagnostic inequities persist for individuals with dark skin tones. Traditional visual assessment relies on colour changes that may not be visible in richly pigmented skin, contributing to delayed diagnos...

Corporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) scores and corporate liquidity management (CLM): evidence from Australia

Purpose This study aims to investigate the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) scores on corporate liquidity management (CLM) in Australian Securities Exchange (ASX)-listed companies for the 2010–2023 period. Design/methodology/approach Using various measures in...

Chilled and freeze-dried preservation of saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) spermatozoa

CONTEXT: Artificial insemination in farmed crocodiles is limited by poor sperm survival after cryopreservation, requiring alternative preservation strategies. AIMS: This study evaluated the effects of three extenders on saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) semen during chille...

Electrospun Nanofibrous Architectures for Food Packaging: A Review of Pore Engineering, Permeability Control, and Sustainability

Abstract Fresh food spoils rapidly when packaging cannot balance gas exchange with moisture and microbial barriers. Conventional plastic films generally fall short of these combined demands. This review examines electrospun nanofibrous architectures (NFAs) as next-generation sust...

Persona-centric Metamorphic Relation Guided Robustness Evaluation for Multi-turn Dialogue Modeling

Abstract Retrieval-based dialogue systems aim to select a proper response according to multi-turn conversational history. Persona-based conversation utilizes prior knowledge to maintain persona consistency, enhancing retrieval accuracy. However, reference-based evaluation relies...

An automated reduction pipeline for non-RV science on AAT/VELOCE

Abstract Veloce began operations in tandem with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), at a time marked by rapid growth in the number of known exoplanets. This growth underscores Veloce’s core purpose: the detection of small planets orbiting cool stars. The spectrograp...

From ACR O‐RADS 2022 to Explainable Deep Learning

Objectives The 2022 update of the Ovarian‐Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O‐RADS) improves risk stratification of adnexal lesions; however, radiologist interpretation remains subject to inter‐observer variability and conservative diagnostic thresholds. Concurrently, deep learn...

Implementing evidence in residential aged care facilities: a longitudinal multi-method evaluation of knowledge broker evolution

Background Knowledge brokers act as intermediaries to bridge evidence-to-practice gaps. Limited evidence describes how the knowledge broker role in health settings evolves over time. This study aimed to (a) examine the evolution of knowledge broker activities over a 12-month impl...

Biomimetic Gradient Porous Core–Shell Fibers with Enhanced Gas Sensing for CO-Temperature Dual-Mode Early Fire Warning

Highlights A biomimetic gradient porous core–shell fiber with enhanced gas-sensing capabilities for CO-temperature early fire warning is fabricated via a coaxial wet-spinning technology. The gradient porous sheath with SnO 2 /In 2 O 3 heterojunction endows enhanced CO gas-sensing...

Constructing the Impostor and Navigating Identity: A Critical Discursive Exploration of the Impostor Phenomenon and Nursing Doctoral Candidates

Impostor phenomenon (IP) is widely recognised among doctoral candidates but remains insufficiently understood, particularly within nursing academia. It is commonly framed as an individual deficit, overlooking the broader social and linguistically mediated experience that shapes s...
