The social cost of high performance: interactive effects of task interdependence and perceived need for power

Purpose Noting that prior research on the social costs of high performance has largely treated coworker mistreatment as discretionary and driven by comparative emotions such as envy and threat, this study examines how social interpretations about high performers shape coworker re...

Comparative chloroplast genomics of Medicago: codon usage bias, purifying selection, and phylogenomics

Medicago sativa subsp. falcata (yellow-flowered alfalfa) is an essential genetic resource for forage improvement, biofuel production, and sustainable agriculture. Its superior cold tolerance and drought resistance, compared with common alfalfa, make it suitable for cultivation in...

The transparency paradox: managing access to research materials under freedom of information (FOI) legislation

Abstract This article examines how researchers and university archivists understand and manage requests for access to research materials as public records. While informal sharing and open science have attracted considerable scholarly attention, much less is known about legally ma...

Establishing a Routine Teleconsultation Follow‐Up Clinic in a Tertiary Care Hospital of a Low‐Middle‐Income Country: An Operational Blueprint and Implementation Experience

ABSTRACT Literature on teleconsultation is rich in outcome data, and only a smaller body of work has described the operational setup of specific teleconsultation services, mainly from the COVID‐era. However, publications on a routine, non‐pandemic, low‐cost, and asynchronous depa...

A comparative analysis on MHD fluid flow over a thickness varying surface using Buongiorno model

Nanofluids have extensive applications across engineering and industrial domains, including heat exchangers, microelectronics, chillers, and pharmaceutical processes. Utilizing these advanced features, this study is opted to analyze the properties of non-Newtonian Casson nanoflui...

Aloe vera-PDMS blend thin films with combined triboelectric and polarization mechanisms for wearable energy harvesting

Abstract The development of flexible and sustainable self-powered electronics has driven interest in high-performance triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). In this work, Aloe vera (Av) juice was directly incorporated into a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix (5–40 wt%) to enhance...

Quantum photonic treatment of nano-polarization in diffraction gratings

Diffraction grating devices are composed of equally spaced, identical slits separated by opaque strips. Discrete or monolithic gratings are fabricated by applying fine grooves with a diamond point either on a plane glass surface or on a polished metal mirror to produce transmissi...

Prospero prevents lineage-specific loss and gain by regulating cyclin E and mitosis during Drosophila neurogenesis

Abstract In Drosophila , neuroblasts (NBs) undergo self-renewing asymmetric divisions to generate ganglion mother cells (GMCs). Each GMC undergoes a terminal asymmetric division to generate two neurons. It was previously suggested that the loss of function of the chromatin-bindin...

Development and internal validation of a deep learning system for criterion-specific assessment of preclinical dental soap carvings: a multi-rater study

Preclinical dental morphology education, assessment of soap-carving exercises may be influenced by inter-rater variability and the workload associated with manual evaluation. This study developed and internally evaluated an artificial intelligence (AI)–based deep learning system...

Analysis of circulatory extracellular vesicle–associated cytokines as candidate disease-associated markers in ER-positive breast cancer

Abstract Introduction Cytokines are signaling molecules produced by various cell types, including immune cells, and play important roles in tumor development and progression. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane-bound particles secreted by all cell types, including can...

Harnessing the Silicon Effect for Copper-Catalyzed Linear- E -Selective Reductive Coupling of Ketones with Allenylsilanes

Abstract We report a copper-catalyzed reductive coupling of ketones with allenylsilanes that delivers γ-silyl homoallylic alcohols with exceptional linear E-selectivities. Mechanistic investigations indicate that the silyl substituent functions as a directing element for regiosel...

Writing From the Borderlands: A Community Testimonio Workshop for Teachers

This qualitative study explores the impact of a week-long, community-based writing workshop for English Language Arts and History teachers working along the US–Mexico border. Centered on testimonio—a narrative genre rooted in cultural identity and community solidarity and charact...

Weight-loss and body-composition trajectories after bariatric surgery may follow different timelines

Weight stability is commonly used as a practical marker after bariatric surgery and may influence the timing of subsequent elective procedures. Recent longitudinal body-composition data show that changes in body weight, fat mass, fat-free mass, skeletal muscle mass, and phase ang...

Human microglia clear intraneuronal α-synuclein aggregates by GPNMB-mediated trogocytosis

Microglia are the primary immune cells of the brain, but their role in Parkinson’s disease is not fully understood. Chronic microglial activation is toxic to neurons, but in the early stages of pathology, microglia also exert beneficial functions. We used induced pluripotent stem...

Rethinking internal colonialism: an analysis of the concept’s limitations and benefits

This study aims to re-examine the concept of internal colonialism by analysing its limitations and benefits and reviewing its uses in the literature. It argues that treating this concept as a separate category from colonialism leads to an inadequate understanding of the colonial...

Balanced Animal Nutrition for Better Feeds, Healthy Animals, Safe Food, and a Healthy Planet: A One Health Perspective—An Invited Review

Livestock production is increasingly expected to deliver not only higher output, but also better animal health and welfare, safer and more nutritious food, viable livelihoods, and lower environmental pressure. This invited review examines balanced animal nutrition within a One He...

Race and Ethnicity Are Associated With Physical Impairment Among ICU Survivors

Objectives: To evaluate whether race and ethnicity are associated with increased odds of physical impairment among post-ICU survivors and to assess how impairment influences healthcare utilization after hospital discharge. Design: This was a retrospective cohort study. Setting: T...

Risk Assessment of Shield Tunnelling in Mixed Ground Using a Coupled Subjective–Objective Weighting and Fuzzy Set Pair Analysis Model

Shield tunnelling in upper-soft and lower-hard mixed ground is characterised by strong geological heterogeneity and coupled construction risks, including uneven cutterhead loading, face instability, cutter wear and abnormal fluctuations in tunnelling parameters. This study assess...

Spatially Controlled Release from Printable Microgels for Embedded Bioprinting

Abstract Granular hydrogels composed of jammed microgels have emerged as promising biomaterials for 3D bioprinting due to their tunable viscoelastic properties and ability to incorporate bioactive molecules and encapsulate cells within the interstitial spaces between the particle...

Age-Related Electrophysiological Reorganization During In-Phase and Anti-Phase Bimanual Coordination

Background/Objectives: Healthy aging is associated with declines in bimanual coordination, particularly under more demanding coordination modes. However, the electrophysiological changes accompanying these behavioral differences and their relevance to performance remain unclear....
