Trajectories of physical activity following digital education and exercise therapy—a longitudinal registry study among 15,197 persons with knee or hip osteoarthritis

Abstract Objective This study examined trajectories of physical activity (PA) and associated factors among individuals with knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) participating in a digital education and exercise therapy program. We additionally compared patterns of patient-reported out...

Toward an enhanced scalability framework for human‐multi‐agent teams

Abstract As autonomous systems become increasingly capable, the deployment of Human‐Multi‐Agent Teams (HMATs) offers immense potential for executing complex, decentralized tasks. However, realizing this potential is constrained by a critical bottleneck: the cognitive and supervis...

A Retensionable Inlay/Onlay Hybrid Double-Bundle Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Produces Superior Restoration of the Uninjured State When Compared to a Single-Bundle Inlay Reconstruction

Background: Traditional superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) reconstruction techniques have not consistently restored native laxity. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to develop a retensionable inlay/onlay hybrid medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstru...

Primary Mathematics Preservice Teachers’ Reflections on Lesson Study-Inspired Collaborative Planning: A Didactical Suitability Perspective

Abstract This study investigated primary preservice teachers' (PSTs) reflections on participating in a collaborative planning model inspired by lesson study (LS). The planning model includes collaboratively brainstorming lesson ideas, planning a lesson, discussing a classroom vid...

The Monster in the Harbor: Abandoned Shipwrecks and Uncanny Ruins

This paper (re)construes the remains of a bulk timber carrier called Optimist that reportedly wrecked in the port of Greenville, Liberia during the Liberian civil wars (1989–2003). Its monstrous hull is an uncanny reminder of militarization, industrialization, and deterioration t...

‘No estamos solos’ : empowering and supporting Latino immigrants to manage chronic disease through a culturally relevant nutrition and physical activity intervention

BACKGROUND: NC Latino immigrants experience health disparities, contributing to higher rates of chronic disease. A community health clinic partnered with a university to develop a low-cost, physical activity and nutrition intervention for Latino immigrants managing chronic diseas...

EDDE-MT-Based Detection-Record Integrity and DV-QKD with Side-Channel Monitoring Using DVQMTC and E-TeLU-Bi-LSTM for Securing CPS

Discrete-Variable Quantum Key Distribution (DV-QKD) provides a mechanism for establishing secret keys between legitimate parties using quantum-state transmission and authenticated classical post-processing. In this work, the underlying quantum layer follows a biased-basis decoy-s...

Sex‐Specific Multidecadal Growth of Red Drum ( Sciaenops ocellatus ) in Relation to Environmental Drivers and Oil Spill Events in the Gulf of America

ABSTRACT Environmental drivers and stochastic events, such as hurricanes and oil spills, can potentially affect the growth of red drum ( Sciaenops ocellatus ) and hence their fisheries productivity. We assessed multidecadal changes in their growth using otolith sclerochronology,...

Systemically Mediated Leadership in AI-Enabled Organizations: A Socio-Technical Systems Theory of Distributed Judgment, Feedback, and Accountability

Artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly mediates leadership-relevant judgment through models, dashboards, metrics, decision-support systems, and autonomous agents. This conceptual article develops a socio-technical systems theory of systemically mediated leadership, defined as...

Understanding the impact of extreme war outcomes on future fights

Why do some defeated states remain peaceful while others quickly return to conflict? Here, I argue that the severity of wartime defeat shapes postwar behavior by suppressing and redirecting the conflict tendencies of losing states. Absolute outcomes, such as foreign-imposed regim...

Convolution transformation for sufficient dimension reduction in time series

Abstract While univariate time series analysis is well established, capturing nonlinear dynamics and high-dimensional lag structure remains a significant challenge. Sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) provides a useful and powerful framework to address the curse of dimensionalit...

Takayasu Arteritis Presenting with Kidney Infarction, Cranial Nerve Palsy, and Osteomyelitis

Background Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a large-vessel vasculitis that primarily affects the aorta and its branches, increasing the risk of vascular complications like aneurysms and ischemic events. In the settings of aortic root involvement, aortic valve replacement can be prompte...
