Objective: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a multidisciplinary program that integrates supervised exercise, education, and lifestyle modification to support recovery. Music-based interventions have gained increased attention because of their potential therapeutic effects on psycho...

Morphological and phylogenetic analyses reveal two new species of Chaetosphaeriaceae from Jiangxi Province, China

Chaetosphaeriaceae is a group of micro-ascomycetes widely distributed in diverse ecosystems worldwide. Group members are commonly found on decaying wood, leaf litter and in moist soil. However, their diversity in soil habitats, especially in understudied bamboo forest ecosystems,...

Epidemiology, risk factors, and spatio-temporal distribution of lumpy skin disease in cattle in northern Bangladesh

Objective: Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an emerging transboundary viral disease that causes substantial economic losses in cattle production worldwide.Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the epidemiology, risk factors, and spatial-temporal distribution through molecu...

From Leader Narcissistic Rivalry to Unethical Pro-Organizational Behavior: The Mediating Role of Workplace Ostracism and the Moderating Role of Underdog Expectations

Unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB) is gaining scholarly attention due to its harmful consequences, yet limited research explains how employees’ perceptions of leaders’ personality traits drive such behavior. Drawing on conservation of resources theory and the Narcissisti...

How Internal Cognitive Style and External Visual Clutter Shape Inattentional Blindness and Safety Risk Perception on Construction Sites

Abstract Construction supervisors’ failure to recognize hazards contributes to accidents, and these failures occur at two distinct stages. A supervisor may not notice a hazard, or may notice it but not judge it a safety risk. This study examines how an internal factor, cognitive...

Outcomes of Asian and Caucasian patients with type A aortic intramural haematoma: a multicentre registry analysis

Background Outcomes of aortic intramural haematoma (IMH) have shown disparities between Asian and Caucasian patients. We evaluated the heterogeneity of treatment effects in Asian and Caucasian patients with type A IMH. Methods This multicentre registry included individual patient...

Developing Polymer Semi-Solid-State Gel Electrolyte with High-Performance Aqueous Zn-Mn Battery-Type Hybrid Capacitor Device for MnO2–MWCNT Cathode

In recent years, energy storage devices have had a lower energy density for supercapacitor devices. Fortunately, certain drawbacks limit the liquid-based battery-type aqueous zinc-ion hybrid capacitor electrodes. For this reason, zinc–manganese (Zn-Mn)-based zinc-ion hybrid super...

Machine Learning-Based Assessment of Land-Use Change, Forest Recovery, and Landscape Connectivity in Islamabad

LULCC is a major driver of habitat fragmentation, biodiversity loss, and declining landscape connectivity, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. Although Islamabad has experienced substantial urban expansion and forest-cover change, long-term city-scale assessments linking...

Shockable rhythm as an independent prognostic factor in patients with non-ST elevation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a registry-based cohort study

BACKGROUND: Although the timing and indications for coronary angiography (CAG) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have been widely studied, the characteristics associated with favorable outcomes in patients with non-ST-elevation (non-STE) undergoing percutaneous coronary...

The Persuasive Effects of AI and Human Streamers in Live Commerce for Green Products: Dual Pathways of Perceived Authenticity and Personal Selling Motive Inference, and the Moderating Role of Product Positioning

Although AI streamers are increasingly used in live commerce, it remains unclear when they are more persuasive than human streamers for green products and through which psychological mechanisms their influence operates. Using a fictitious plant-based hand wash, we conducted a 2 ×...

Digital Connectivity and Human Capital Development: Understanding the Distraction Paradox in Higher Education Using Structural Equation Modelling

Abstract Digital technologies have rapidly transformed teaching and learning in higher education in recent years, reshaping the learning environment alongside factors that influence technology acceptance and users' digital competence. Grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (...

A systematic review of machine learning and explainable artificial intelligence for electrocardiogram based cardiovascular disease prediction

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) are a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, making early and accurate detection essential for improving patient outcomes. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most important diagnostic tools for identifying various cardiac abnormalitie...

Role of Presepsin as a Predictive Factor for Sepsis in Patients With Urinary Tract Infection Associated With Ureteral Calculi: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Purpose: Recently, multiple studies have reported presepsin as a useful inflammatory biomarker for early sepsis diagnosis in patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs). Nonetheless, few studies have evaluated the efficacy of presepsin in urosepsis associated with ureteral calc...

Feasibility and Evaluation of Effective Morphological Feature Representation for Contactless Blood Pressure Estimation Using Remote Photoplethysmography

This study evaluates the feasibility of morphological feature-based contactless blood pressure (BP) estimation using remote photoplethysmography (rPPG). A total of 52 morphological features are extracted from each cardiac cycle of rPPG and its first and second derivatives and arr...

Forecasting Duration in High‐Frequency Financial Data Using a Self‐Exciting Flexible Residual Point Process

ABSTRACT This paper presents a method for forecasting limit order book durations using a self‐exciting flexible residual point process. High‐frequency events in modern exchanges exhibit heavy‐tailed interarrival times, posing a significant challenge for accurate prediction. The p...

Comparative evaluation of multicellular tumor spheroid fabrication platforms for reliable drug screening

Abstract Multicellular tumor spheroids (MTS) are widely used three-dimensional tumor models in various biomedical fields. Despite the increasing use of MTS, systematic comparisons providing practical information for selecting fabrication platforms according to experimental object...

Impact of a prolonged nationwide residents’ strike on acute ischemic stroke care in a metropolitan city
