Operationalising pedagogical policy enactment to enhance quality assurance and student satisfaction in higher education

Purpose This study aims to integrate, operationalise and evaluate previously developed pedagogical policy guidelines within an institutional quality assurance (QA) matrix to examine their implementation and association with student satisfaction outcomes in higher education (HE)....

Novelty in academic research: human and AI perspectives

Purpose Novelty is commonly regarded as one component of high-quality scholarship. Nevertheless, little is known about how novelty is claimed and what is considered novel across academia, including any field differences. In response, this article uses a sequential design to inves...

Strengthening non-communicable disease health systems through sustainable health partnerships in the Horn of Africa using lessons from the Wolverhampton–Somaliland Global Health Partnership

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are rapidly emerging as major causes of morbidity and mortality across the Horn of Africa, compounding persistent infectious diseases, humanitarian crises and fragile health systems. This Perspective examines how sustainable, nationally led health...

Pain, cognition, and culture in dementia research: a critical synthesis of empirical and methodological literature

Research examining relationships between pain and cognition in dementia and cognitive impairment has expanded, yet methodological and cultural limitations remain insufficiently explored. This paper critically synthesises findings from two scoping reviews focusing on pain-cognitio...

MAIA frailty subgroup analysis: long-term follow-up with daratumumab plus lenalidomide/dexamethasone in transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed myeloma

Abstract In MAIA (Daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone versus lenalidomide and dexamethasone alone in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma), daratumumab plus lenalidomide/dexamethasone (D-Rd) improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) versus Rd in tran...

‘The plate that always falls’: preliminary findings on performativity in primary physical education

Emergent findings indicate that performativity is unevenly distributed across the curriculum rather than totalising. Given its low performative worth, PE was (re)positioned, occupying a marginal position while being instrumentalised to further whole‑school performative priorities...

Self-reported Hypertension, Awareness, Knowledge, and Risk-related Lifestyle Factors among Final-year University Students in Enugu, Nigeria: A Cross-sectional Study

Background Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide and is increasingly recognized among young adults. University students are often exposed to risk-related behaviours such as physical inactivity, unhealthy diets, alcohol and caffeine in...

Association of Nut Consumption with Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease

Background: Nut consumption reduces risks of cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and depression. However, its association with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains unclear. Methods: A population-based case–control study was conducted in China, including 466 parti...

Board Cultural Diversity and Corporate Sustainability Performance: Evidence From Hospitality and Tourism Firms

ABSTRACT This paper examines whether board cultural diversity is associated with corporate sustainability performance (CSP) in the hospitality and tourism sector. Drawing on upper echelons theory and resource dependence theory, the analysis uses LSEG ESG data for 282 publicly lis...

Lower-limb neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for adults with kidney failure undergoing dialysis

RATIONALE: Loss of skeletal muscle mass and function is a common, debilitating complication of kidney failure for individuals undergoing dialysis. It contributes to reduced physical capacity, quality of life (QoL), and increased death. Exercise training can mitigate these effects...

Multi-Model Forecasting of Shoreline Air Temperature using Machine Learning and Deep Learning: The CidAlmeida Station, Portugal

Accurate short-term meteorological forecasting at reservoir shorelines is essential for reservoir management and adaptation planning in Mediterranean climates. This study proposes a multi-stage data-driven framework for time-series prediction and explainable modeling using hourly...

Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for coronary heart disease

RATIONALE: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death globally. CHD mortality rates remain steady in low- and middle-income countries but are declining in high-income countries, meaning more people are living with CHD and need support to manage their symptoms and...

Critical result thresholds and notification practices in clinical laboratories

Laboratory medicine plays an important role in clinical decision-making. The timely notification of results requiring medical attention is therefore essential to ensure patient safety. Since its introduction, the concept of critical result notification has expanded to include bot...

Daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: MAIA final survival analysis

Abstract In previous analyses of MAIA, daratumumab plus lenalidomide/dexamethasone (D-Rd) significantly improved progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) versus lenalidomide/dexamethasone (Rd) in transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). We report...
