How Do Child Protection Workers Report and Assess Signs of Honour‐Based Violence? An Analysis of 138 Cases

ABSTRACT Honour‐based violence (HBV) is a serious social problem with significant health and social consequences for affected children. Despite growing policy attention, little is known about how child protection services address HBV in practice. This study examines how child pro...

Solvent‐Induced Structural Modulation in Nanoscale Covalent Organic Frameworks Enables High‐Performance NO 2 Sensing

ABSTRACT Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) offer exceptional structural and functional tunability, enabling performance optimization in separation, catalysis, and sensing applications. Here, we report a solvent‐induced strategy for inducing structural disorder in porphyrin‐based...

Denoise Stepwise Signals by Diffusion Model‐Based Approach

ABSTRACT Stepwise signals are ubiquitous in single‐molecule detections, where abrupt changes in signal levels typically correspond to molecular conformational changes. However, these features are inevitably obscured by noise, leading to uncertainty in estimating both signal level...

Healing intervention for improving the efficiency and stability of tandem devices on industrial textured silicon

Monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells are widely regarded as the next-generation, low-cost, high-efficiency photovoltaic technology. However, achieving high-quality wide-bandgap perovskite top cells on industrial textured silicon, particularly using hybrid two-step dep...

What’s unfair about resultant moral luck?

Abstract A popular reason for denying resultant moral luck has to do with its alleged unfairness. In this paper, I argue that although two existing objections against the unfairness argument are unsuccessful, it ultimately fails. First, I criticize the objection that the unfairne...

One in seven has severe pain: a point-prevalence study of hospitalised patients across Africa

ABSTRACT: Acute pain in hospitalised patients is common, yet African data are scarce. We conducted a prospective point-prevalence study of hospitalised adult patients across Africa to determine acute pain prevalence and severity and investigate associations of pain with critical...

A Fourth Order Cut Finite Element (cutFEM) Method for the Wave Equation using the Modifed Equation Approach

Abstract A symmetric bilinear form corresponding to the biharmonic operator is combined with a corresponding bilinear form for the Laplacian to create a temporally 4th order corrected leap-frog scheme for the wave equation. The boundary conditions are imposed weakly, which allows...

Prognostic value of risk factors for ischaemic and major bleeding events in chronic coronary syndrome: a SWEDEHEART registry study

AIM: In patients with chronic coronary syndrome, risk factors for ischaemic events and bleeding tend to overlap. However, the combined effects of these factors have scarcely been studied in contemporary real-world settings. METHODS: All patients in Sweden undergoing elective PCI...

Investigating a Devonian vertebrate assemblage with synchrotron microtomography of coprolites

Abstract Fossilised faeces (coprolites) are a unique source of information as they record palaeontological evidence of animal behaviour (autecology) as well as interactions between extinct organisms and their environment (synecology). Four samples bearing coprolites found in a ne...

Layered Defect-Filling co-Assembled Carbazole-Based SAMs Deliver 20% Organic Solar Cells and 17% Mini-Modules

Abstract Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used as hole-transport layers (HTLs) in organic solar cells (OSCs), yet conventional single-component SAMs often form quasi-monolayers with incomplete coverage and interfacial defects that become increasingly detrimental upon d...

Association between urbanicity–cooking fuel type and self-reported respiratory symptoms as a proxy for acute respiratory infection symptoms among children under two years across ten East African countries

Abstract Introduction Evidence remains limited on how urbanicity modifies the relationship between household cooking fuel type and respiratory symptoms in young children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study examined the prevalence of cough and dyspnea across te...

Quantification of Urinary NGAL Using Volumetric Dried Urine Sampling

Objective: To evaluate the measurement of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) from dried urine samples collected using Capitainer qDBS discs compared with liquid urine. Methods: Eighty urine samples from children aged 0–18 years were analysed. NGAL concentra...

Genome-wide association study of image-based emphysema scoring in the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) suggests two new risk loci in smokers

Abstract Background Despite the high prevalence and clinical significance of emphysema, few genetic risk loci have been consistently replicated. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of CT-based emphysema, with a particular focus on non-smoking-related genetic deter...

Children's lived experiences of transitioning between hospital and home in paediatric oncology: A qualitative study

PURPOSE: Advances in paediatric oncology have improved survival rates, but intensive treatments and frequent hospitalisations disrupt family life. Hospital-to-home transitions are critical yet underexplored in the cancer trajectory. Existing models of discharge planning primarily...

Functional differences of Munc18 isoforms reflect their affinities for the exocytosis site

Abstract The SM-protein Munc18 and its binding partner syntaxin are crucial for two distinct steps of regulated exocytosis, docking of secretory granules at the release site, and priming reactions that prepare docked granules for Ca 2+ dependent fusion. Both proteins cluster simu...

Combined fibre-optic sensing and nodal recorders for active-source seismic characterization of mine tailings

Abstract As the mining industry shifts toward more responsible and lower-impact practices, mine tailings are increasingly regarded as a secondary resource that can be sourced into the raw-material supply chain. However, limited knowledge of subsurface geometry at many historical...

The Zooplankton International Geospatial dataset: A global repository of spatiotemporal freshwater zooplankton community composition data from lakes and reservoirs to support ecological research

Abstract Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide range of environmental gradients; however, these datasets are limited d...

The influence of age on emotion-regulatory strategies, emotional work demands, and health/work outcomes: a systematic PRISMA literature review with narrative synthesis

BACKGROUND: An increasing age of the workforce necessitates a better understanding of age-related differences in emotions at work to inform age-inclusive workplace policies and practices. This review critically evaluates how age relates to emotion-regulatory strategies at work (e...

Solving problems increases provisioning efficiency, enhancing reproductive success in male great tits

Abstract The ecological and selective processes acting on cognitive traits have received recent attention because of the potentially key role of cognition in rapid behavioural adjustments in response to environmental variation. Innovation, a cognitive process involved in the deve...

CO 2 ‐to‐CO Electrochemical Conversion With an Fe(I) Porphyrin Complex in Water

ABSTRACT Iron porphyrin complexes constitute a well‐established and versatile class of molecular electrocatalysts for the reduction of CO 2 to CO. In both organic and aqueous media, the reaction mechanism is typically proposed to involve the interaction of CO 2 with a formally de...
