Additive Problems with Primes from a Thin Bohr Set

Abstract For an irrational alpha element of double struck upper R α ∈ R $\alpha\in {{\mathbb{R}}}$ and any beta element of double struck upper R β ∈ R $\beta\in {{\mathbb{R}}}$ , we consider additive problems with the set of primes satisfying StartMetric alpha p plus beta EndMetr...

Management of Acute Periodontal Conditions—The EFP S2k Level Clinical Practice Guideline

BACKGROUND: The European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) has developed Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for the treatment of periodontitis and for the management of peri-implant diseases. In accordance with the 2018 Classification, acute periodontal conditions are character...

Impact of stochasticity and time delay on stuxnet virus propagation in critical control systems

A complex computer worm that was first discovered in 2010, Stuxnet targeted industrial control systems and led to physical sabotage of production processes all without being detected. Symantec estimates that over 100,000 computers were infected by the malware, with around 60% of...

Management practices and human–horse relationships are associated with horse personality traits

Abstract The human–horse relationship has evolved through centuries of domestication, shaping how horses are managed and interact with people. Horses show interindividual behavioural differences that constitute personality, with implications for welfare, management and human–hors...

Age-related changes in the gut microbiota of a long-lived seabird suggest divergence from mammalian models

Abstract Gut microbiota plays key roles in shaping host development, immunity, and physiology. The assembly of vertebrate gut microbiota during early life follows relatively predictable trajectories across several mammalian species, largely driven by maternal transmission routes....

Multi-omic profiling reveals antibody-drug conjugate targetability in ovarian cancer

Abstract Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) require high and homogeneous target expression for optimal efficacy, yet the spatial, temporal, and cellular heterogeneity of clinically approved ADC targets in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) remains incompletely defined. We analy...

Regional differences and trends in treatment approaches for femoral neck fractures in Finland: A nationwide analysis

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Femoral neck fractures represent a major health concern in aging populations due to their morbidity and mortality. Although operative treatment is the standard, regional and temporal variations in surgical approaches exist. This study evaluates nationwide tre...

From perception to reaction: an RLCC-engine-driven cybersecurity framework for smart agricultural ecosystems

Abstract Agriculture 4.0 makes significant use of interconnected sensors, autonomous farm equipment, cloud-based farm management systems, and data-driven decision-making. Even though these tools make farm operations more productive and sustainable, they also expose farm equipment...

Association between umbilical cord oxidative stress and early neonatal outcomes in gestational diabetes mellitus

Gestational diabetes (GDM) is frequently associated with adverse neonatal outcomes, but the underlying mechanisms linking maternal hyperglycemia to fetal harm are not fully understood. Oxidative stress has been suggested as a key pathway; however, studies simultaneously evaluatin...

Phototrophicity and genomic composition in plant-associated Sphingomonas faeni strains

Abstract Solar radiation impacts most life forms on Earth as an energy source or a regulatory signal. Still, relatively little is known about phototrophic potential and strategies of environmental bacteria beyond cyanobacteria. This study explores the phototrophy related genomic...

Plurality in transformative change: Three co‐created pathways toward nature‐positive Europe(s)

1.The accelerating decline of biodiversity necessitates transformative change to protect nature and society, requiring innovative actions and governance strategies. This paper focuses on developing diverse transformative pathways for biodiversity in Europe and advancing methodolo...

Purposeful publishing: concern as methodological responsibility in accounting research

Purpose This article addresses how purposeful research can be sustained in academic systems where what matters is increasingly defined through citation counts and journal rankings. It proposes the recovery of purpose through concern. A study's concern is the normative orientation...

The Role of Resilience in Relation to Depression, Anxiety, Stress, and Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms Among Syrian Refugee Adolescents in Türkiye

Objectives: Mental health problems and post-traumatic stress symptoms are prevalent among adolescent refugees, yet little is known about the role of resilience in relation to these difficulties among Syrian adolescents. This study examined the unique contribution of resilience to...

Adequate tetanus toxoid immunization and its correlates among married women with a recent live birth in Afghanistan: Insights from a national survey

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and correlates of adequate tetanus toxoid (TT) immunization among married women in Afghanistan. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2022-2023 Afghanistan Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), focusing on 12,450 marrie...

Process evaluation of a school-based sexual health intervention targeting 13–14-year-olds in Finland

Purpose A systematic approach to conducting process evaluations is essential for understanding the implementation of health interventions and their mechanisms of impact. This study aims to describe the process evaluation of a school-based, social-marketing-principles-utilising se...

Codes over Frobenius Ring T

This paper focuses on the construction and analysis of codes over the Frobenius ring T. By exploiting the idempotent structure of the ring, codes over T are decomposed into direct sums of component codes over a related local Frobenius non-chain ring. A gray map is constructed and...

Remediation of phenol and p-nitrophenol from contaminated water using raw and quaternized Annona muricata L. peels

Phenol and p -nitrophenol (PNP) are toxic, widely occurring phenolic pollutants requiring cost-effective removal methods. This study evaluates raw Annona muricata L. peels (RGP) and peels chemically quaternized (QGP) as low-cost biosorbents for phenol and PNP remediation from aqu...

Time-dependent prognostic value of coronary plaque burden and hyperemic myocardial blood flow

Abstract Rationale The time-dependent contributions of coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden and myocardial ischemia to clinical outcomes in suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) remain uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the temporal associations of quantitatively assesse...

CFD-based multi-objective optimization of operating conditions in a small-scale ORC radial-inflow turbine using response surface methodology

This study presents a CFD–RSM framework for constructing surrogate-based operating maps and optimizing the operating conditions of a manufactured small-scale radial-inflow turbine used in an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system. Unlike studies focused mainly on turbine redesign, th...

Environmental drivers of litter- and soil-dwelling springtail communities across European forests, assessed by morphotaxonomy and soil DNA metabarcoding

Springtails are abundant in forest litter and soils, where they play a crucial role in the transformation and decomposition of organic matter. However, most data on springtail communities originates from studies at the local and regional levels, while larger-scale studies are lac...
