ML-driven large-scale heterogeneous music-traffic data analysis

A personalized music recommendation system can construct a user’s music preference model based on the user’s historical music behaviors and recommend music that the user is interested in. Typically, users’ music preferences are divided into long and short-term preferences. The on...

Improving the management of leprosy ulcers through a community self-care intervention using a stepped wedge cluster randomised trial in South-East Nigeria

Background Self-care is used to promote leprosy ulcer healing and reduce recurrence. RedAid Nigeria in South-East Nigeria adapted and implemented a recently developed international guideline for self-care of leprosy ulcers. We report a prospective, mixed methods evaluation of thi...

The relationship between health literacy and perceived social support with self-care behaviors in patients with heart failure

Abstract Background Health literacy (HL) and perceived social support (PSS) are two independent variables associated with self-care behaviors (SCB) among patients with heart failure (HF). The study aimed to detemine the relationship between HL and PSS with SCB in patients with HF...

The Association Between Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Gastrointestinal Symptoms: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Introduction: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with rising prevalence worldwide. Although alterations in the gut–brain axis have been implicated in its pathophysiology, underlying mechanisms remain unclear. An increase of gastroint...

Caring for Our Healthcare Workers: Advancing Human Resource Management Research in Healthcare Contexts

ABSTRACT In this special issue introduction paper, we seek to advance HRM scholarship by examining how HRM can support the health and wellbeing of the healthcare workforce amid profound economic, socio‐cultural and technological change affecting healthcare systems globally. First...

Theory–simulation–application framework to enhance biostatistical capacity for HIV and cancer data analysis in sub-Saharan Africa: lessons learnt from Tanzania

Enhancing biostatistical capacity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is imperative for the efficient analysis of routinely collected health data and for clinical and public health decision-making. We describe the experiences and lessons learnt from implementing advanced statistical capa...

Extreme Values of Black-hole-to-stellar-mass Ratio for High-redshift Galaxies

Abstract With recent data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), it is possible to calculate the mass of the supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies and the stellar mass of the host galaxies at redshift z ≳ 5. In this work, we apply extreme-value statistics to cal...

The Role of Emotions in Engendering Commitment to an Organizational Purpose

Creating a compelling organizational purpose that motivates employees and resonates with stakeholders is a key responsibility of top management teams (TMTs). While much is known about how TMTs seek employee commitment, little is understood about the exact process through which TM...

Symbiont effectors modulate plant signalling to increase host stress resilience

Abstract Plant colonizing mutualistic symbionts confer beneficial effects to their hosts, which often includes increased growth, and biotic and abiotic stress resilience. How these benefits are activated on a molecular level is mostly unknown. Here, we describe effector candidate...

Persistence of immune responses 5 years after vaccination with a single dose of typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) in Nepalese children

Background A single-dose typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) has been recommended in endemic settings. Here we report the 5-year immunogenicity results post a single dose of TCV in Nepal. Methods We conducted a participant- and observer-blinded randomised trial (RCT) in Lalitpur, Nep...

Strategic uses of the past and their liabilities: why government-pushed internationalization may fail

Abstract Governments push firms to internationalize not only through diplomacy and material incentives but also by shaping the environment in which investors, host governments, and local communities form judgments about cross-border opportunities. We conceptualize this process as...

Where planetary solids survive sublimation around young and hot white dwarfs

Abstract All observed planetary systems orbiting single white dwarfs have lived through the hot stellar transition from an asymptotic giant branch star. In this post-nebular transition period, the initial conditions for planetary system evolution throughout white dwarf cooling ar...

Re-thinking school leadership: towards an ethic of education and care

A global policy consensus asserts that school leaders should focus on improving teaching and learning. Previous studies of school principalship reveal processes of work intensification, with leaders working long hours and facing increased pressures. Meanwhile, in a context of glo...

Impact pathway: beyond automation and augmentation – a relational ontology of AI in operations and supply chain management

Purpose As companies deploy increasingly agentic forms of AI to coordinate and manage workflows, AI can no longer be understood as a discrete technological tool added to existing operations and supply chains. We propose a relational ontology as an alternative theoretical foundati...

Robust inference and correlates from genetic associations with personality

Personality traits describe stable differences in how people think, feel and behave, and how they interact with and experience their social and physical environments1,2. Many questions remain unanswered about associations between DNA and personality traits, such as their robustne...

Novel Conductometric Chemosensor Based on Methylenebis(Phosphonic Acid)-Modified Calixarene for L-Arginine Determination

This study reports the synthesis of a novel methylenebisphosphonic acid calix[4]arene derivative and its application as a receptor layer in a conductometric chemosensor for the highly sensitive detection of L-arginine. The synthesized calixarene contains two methylenebisphosphoni...

Agency through archives: the case of Kenya’s Waki commission

Commissions of inquiry are a useful governance tool, which, through their ritualised proceedings, look to provide authoritative knowledge that can help to distract attention, justify policies, and/or assert state control. By drawing upon the case of Kenya's Commission of Inquiry...

AI Publication Footprint and National AI Readiness: Global Geographic and Income-Based Disparities

In the contemporary world, artificial intelligence (AI) is driving profound changes across global institutional, technological, and social processes. However, countries’ readiness for its integration varies substantially by economic development, regional characteristics, and digi...

Moral Bureaucracies: Objects, Values and Affects in a UK Asylum Office

ABSTRACT British asylum bureaucracy carries a paradoxical mandate: To allocate humanitarian protection while operating inside a policy regime explicitly designed to deter. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a Home Office decision‐making office, this article examines how that co...

Politicians on board! does foreign ownership matter for corporate political activity?
