Common Planning Framework, Differentiated Local Implementation: Development Assessment Governance Across Greater Sydney Councils

Governments increasingly use processing-time indicators to evaluate development assessment, although comparability across councils is uncertain. This study examines how application composition, determination pathways, recorded workflows and information practices affect council-le...

A Cu 2 S/NiOOH Heterojunction Enables Highly Selective Ammonia‐to‐Nitrite Electrooxidation at Industrially Relevant Current Densities

ABSTRACT Electrocatalytic ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) offers a green route to nitrite (NO 2 − ) synthesis while coupling hydrogen evolution reaction. However, maintaining NO 2 − selectivity at high current density remains challenging due to the narrow thermodynamic windows f...

Human-Informed Neural Networks (HINNs): Trust-Adaptive Learning with Expert Guidance

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly deployed in domains where decisions carry substantial ethical, financial, regulatory, and clinical consequences. Conventional neural networks are commonly trained using fixed data-driven objective functions that may fail to represent t...

Ranking microbial risk of self-supplied groundwater in urban Indonesia

Abstract In Indonesia, 61% of urban households use self-supplied groundwater, with 24% relying on it as a primary drinking water source. Many self-supplied sources contain faecal contamination, posing health risks. Identifying locations with elevated contamination risk can help t...

Semidefinite optimization of the measured relative entropies of quantum states and channels

Abstract The measured relative entropies of quantum states and channels find operational significance in quantum information theory as achievable error rates in hypothesis testing tasks. They are of interest in the near term, as they correspond to hybrid quantum–classical strateg...

On the complexity of isomorphism problems for tensors, groups, and polynomials III: actions by classical groups

Abstract We study the complexity of isomorphism problems for tensors, represented in coordinates by multiway arrays, under natural actions by classical groups such as orthogonal, unitary, and symplectic groups. These problems arise naturally in statistical data analysis and quant...

Unmasking the Influence of Viral Micro‐RNAs on Host Immunity

ABSTRACT Micro‐RNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of human immunity, controlling critical cellular programmes including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and immune activation to shape the host response to infection. Multiple human‐infecting viruses encode their own miRNA...

Interrogating the Escherichia coli Epitranscriptome Via CRISPR Interference and Nanopore Native RNA Sequencing

Epitranscriptomics has recently gained significant momentum due to technological advances and translational applications; however, studies on bacterial RNA modifications remain limited. Bacterial RNA is notoriously prone to degradation, and methodologies to investigate the epitra...

Weakening conjugation of organic cyclic additives towards advanced aqueous zinc-ion batteries

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) offer a safe and economical option for energy storage but face zinc dendrites and parasitic reactions. Here we report 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate (THI) as an electrolyte additive that delivers environment-dependent dual-state protect...

Impacts of a Statewide Prescription Drug Monitoring Program—Healthcare Practitioner Perspectives

ABSTRACT This study examined the perceived impacts of New South Wales' (NSW) statewide prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP; “SafeScript NSW”) from the perspective of prescribers and pharmacists, using a qualitative descriptive design. Fourteen prescribers and pharmacists w...

Macular neovascularisation subtype determines visual consequences of early fibro-atrophic remodelling in neovascular AMD: PRECISE study report 11

Abstract Purpose To evaluate whether baseline well-delineated hyperreflective material (wdHRM) is associated with short-term visual outcome in treatment-naïve neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), whether this association differs by macular neovascularisation (MNV)...

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists and Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Type 2 Diabetes: A Review of Emerging Clinical Evidence

Abstract Purpose of Review Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are increasingly used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) because of their established glycaemic, weight, cardiovascular, and kidney benefits. Recent observational evidence has raised...

Between myth and power: global players and the politics of reception of Black Myth: Wukong on Reddit

Once peripheral to the global gaming industry, Chinese studios have increasingly sought to reposition themselves as global creative leaders. Black Myth: Wukong (Game Science, 2024) marks a pivotal moment in this shift toward culturally distinctive, mechanically complex, and narra...

Vision-language sample scoring with dynamic coverage-centric strategies

Data pruning reduces image-classifier training cost by replacing a full training set with a coreset. Existing methods often require training a target or proxy model to estimate sample importance, which ties data selection to a particular architecture. In addition, common allocati...

Evaluating the impacts of site preparation and fragment size on coral outplanting success at a highly degraded reef site

Coral reefs are deteriorating worldwide from the combined pressures of global climate change and local stressors. As such, reef restoration interventions are being applied to boost natural recovery and reef health. Outplanting success reported for restoration activities to date h...

Exploring the Impact of AI on the Transformation of Labour Markets in Advanced Economies: Insights from Australia

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping global labour markets, yet adoption remains uneven across sectors. This article employs a sociotechnical systems perspective to examine how national policy and institutional barriers shape AI implementation in advanced economies by examin...

Current Translational 3D In Vitro Models of Human Placental Tissue

Cellular models of placental tissue have the potential to recapitulate normal physiology, model disease, and facilitate therapeutic drug testing. In vivo or two-dimensional (2D) in vitro models of placental conditions have not been sufficiently representative of whole human tissu...

Windows of change as precursors to changing travel behaviour aligned with sustainable mobility

There is an increasing focus on ways in which we can achieve behavioural change associated with improved sustainability outcomes in the transport sector. In societies where the car is the dominant passenger transport mode with all of its associated interpretations of convenience,...

Combining Implementation and Data Sciences to Accelerate Evidence Integration into Healthcare – ImpleMATE

Background The translation of research evidence into routine healthcare practice is often slow and inconsistent, even timely implementation can significantly improve patient outcomes. While implementation science offers strategies to close this gap, current approaches are frequen...

Assessment of organizational readiness for implementing an online pain education program for chronic musculoskeletal pain in Brazilian public health context: a cross-sectional study

Understanding the organizational readiness for behavior change is paramount for implementation success of new interventions and to avoid waste of resources. To assess organizational readiness of primary healthcare providers to refer users with chronic musculoskeletal pain for an...
