Bridging Knowledge Gaps in Clinical AI: An Activity Theory Perspective on Interdisciplinary Data Work for Telehealth

Advanced AI technologies are increasingly integrated into clinical domains to advance patient care. The design and development of clinical AI technologies necessitate seamless collaboration between clinical and technical experts. However, such interdisciplinary teams are often un...

Seeing the Politics of Decentralized Social Media Protocols

Calls to decentralize feed-based social media have been driven by concerns about the concentrated power of centralized platforms and their societal impact. In response, numerous decentralized social media protocols have emerged, each interpreting “decentralization” in a different...

A Scoping Review of Queer Health and Well-Being Technology Research

Technology has and will continue to have a significant impact on queer people’s health and well-being; however, it is not guaranteed that these implementations lead to meaningful advancements. Through a scoping review of 69 queer health technology papers in the ACM Digital Librar...

LLMs in Wikipedia: Investigating How LLMs Impact Participation in Knowledge Communities

Large language models (LLMs) are reshaping knowledge production as community members increasingly incorporate them into their contribution workflows. At the same time, participating in knowledge communities involves more than just contributing content - it is also a deeply social...

Inefficient Carotenoid-Mediated Quenching of Chlorophyll a Triplet: A Hypothetical Cause for the Evolution of Cys-Mediated Quenching in IsiA

Abstract Iron-stress-induced protein A (IsiA) is a chlorophyll (Chl) a-containing protein in cyanobacteria. Under low-iron growth, it is the most abundant intracellular Chl a-binding protein. IsiA and the CP43 protein are suggested to have coevolved from a common ancestral protei...

Making Sense of the Weather, Together: Collaborative Sensemaking in Severe Weather Livestreams

This paper examines collaborative sensemaking during severe weather events through the emerging phenomenon of “weatherfluencers” or content creators who livestream meteorological interpretation on platforms like YouTube. Drawing from sensemaking theory, crisis informatics, and pl...

YouCred: An Online Tool Co-Designed with Fact-Checkers for Misinformation Discovery on YouTube

Monitoring online platforms, one of the most challenging aspects of the fact-checking process, remains predominantly manual. Crafting search queries to surface potentially dubious online content is based on guesswork, demanding significant time and effort from fact-checkers. Whil...

Symbolic Derivatives: Regularity and �-Regularity Modulo Theories

Symbolic derivatives support lazy unfolding of formulas in a logic over words, such as extended regular expressions, into symbolic automata . Symbolic automata are finite state automata that support potentially infinite alphabets, such as the set of rational numbers, generally ap...

An international position statement on practical approaches for inpatient continuous glucose monitoring, insulin pumps and automated insulin delivery systems in adults

There is an urgent and unmet need for a practical clinical guideline addressing the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pumps and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems in hospital settings. The goal with this position statement is to facilitate effective and sa...

Presence of a trusted adult and adolescent health outcomes in Urban India

Adolescents in urban India face significant challenges in accessing healthcare and reliable health information, particularly during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the role of trusted adults in shaping adolescent health remains underexplored. This study examined he...

There is an urgent and unmet need for a practical clinical guideline addressing the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pumps, and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems in hospital settings. The goal with this position statement is to facilitate effective and s...

Next-Generation Immunohistochemical and RNA in Situ Hybridization Assays for Renal Neoplasia: Which Biomarkers Are Ready for Prime Time?

The expanding molecular classification of renal neoplasia has created a growing need for biomarkers that translate biologic insights into practical diagnostic tools. This review focuses on recently introduced immunohistochemical (IHC) and RNA in situ hybridization (RNA-ISH) assay...

Strategic fisheries closure balances harvest opportunity and stock diversity in a large Alaska river basin

Effective conservation of exploited species requires balancing harvest opportunities with the protection of biodiversity. In Pacific salmon, biodiversity among populations contributes to basin-wide resilience, yet spatiotemporal dynamics of adult migrating Chinook salmon remain p...

A multi-site loiasis dataset of whole blood videos

Loiasis is a blood-borne filarial infection under consideration for inclusion in the WHO’s priority list of Neglected Tropical Diseases. In addition to its direct impact on human health, loiasis frequently occurs as a co-infection with other filarial diseases, including onchocerc...

Voices From the Community: How Inpatient Clinicians Experience Caring for Deteriorating Children

BACKGROUND: National initiatives to improve care for children in community emergency department settings have demonstrated improved quality with decreased pediatric mortality. In contrast, pediatric readiness for inpatient care in community hospitals remains poorly defined. Carin...

False kings and imagined protestants: why schismogenesis does not explain variation in inequality among Indigenous societies of the Pacific Coast

Indigenous societies along the temperate Pacific coast of North America embody diverse cultural institutions. This variation is conventionally classified into two distinct cultural areas: the Northwest Coast (NWC) and California (CAL). Discussion of the environmental, material, s...

Prioritizing Peptides for Targeted Mass Spectrometry Experiments Using Deep Learning

Abstract One critical step in any targeted mass spectrometry experiment is selecting, from each protein of interest, a small number of peptides that respond well in the mass spectrometer and can serve as reliable proxies for protein quantification. Existing methods select target...

Bio‐Inspired Bidirectional Proton Regulatory Mechanisms by Anhydride‐Based Hydrogel Electrolytes for High‐Performance Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) employing hydrogel electrolytes offer significant advantages in mitigating short‐circuit and electrolyte leakage risks. Nevertheless, the sluggish transport kinetics of Zn 2 + and severe interfacial instability of zinc anodes still seve...

Resonance-enhanced integrated acousto-optic beam steering

Optical beam steering is a key technology for free-space optical communication, sensing, and imaging. Mechanical beam steering systems suffer from limited scanning speed and bulky form factors, while existing solid-state solutions rely on pixelated synthetic aperture that require...

Mode-Engineered Metal Microheaters for Low-Loss Nonvolatile Phase-Change Photonics

Abstract Nonvolatile tuning based on phase-change materials offers a route to reconfigurable photonics with zero static power, but electrical switching remains limited by available microheaters. Doped-silicon heaters are effective yet lack transferability across broader material...
