Perceived changes in mothers’ outcomes following a pilot parenting program for couples with young children in Mwanza, Tanzania: A longitudinal qualitative study

There is growing interest in engaging not only mothers but also fathers in parenting programs to improve nurturing care, psychosocial support, and early childhood development. However, few studies have explored how mothers perceive and benefit from participating in parenting inte...

A python‐based modeling package for underwater acoustic backscatter from individual gas bubbles

Abstract Acoustic backscatter from gas bubbles is key to detecting and quantifying marine seeps and related processes, yet practical tools for target strength (TS) prediction remain limited. We present seaEchoTSCalculator , an open‐source Python package that unifies established t...

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AS A MEANS OF IMPROVING THE METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPING PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS' SCIENTIFIC WORLDVIEW IN NATIVE LANGUAGE LESSONS

This thesis examines the possibilities of using digital technologies to improve the methodology for developing primary school students' scientific worldview in native language lessons. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to combine linguistic education with the d...

Geographic Differences in Place Signaling, Inquiry, and Replies: Evidence from Douyin Comments on the Jiangsu City Football League

Background: When a local sports event attracts attention beyond its home region, viewers may participate in different ways. This study examined geographic differences in expressions of connection to the host region, questions, and associations with receiving replies. Methods: We...

Drought Severity Shapes Recovery Trajectories of Root Functions and Rhizosphere Processes in Poa pratensis During a Drought–Rewatering Cycle

Drought–rewatering events are becoming increasingly frequent on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, yet how drought severity shapes post-drought recovery of root functions and associated rhizosphere enzyme activities remains unclear. Here, Poa pratensis from Zeku Zequ National Wetland Par...

Engineering Antibody Evolution: Germline‐Targeting HIV Vaccines Reach a Turning Point

This commentary examines three recent Nature studies demonstrating a conceptual shift in HIV vaccine design, demonstrating how germline-targeting HIV vaccines can progress beyond expanding rare broad neutralizing antibody (bnAb) precursors to deliberately guiding their affinity m...

Mobility hinders malaria elimination goals in the Brazilian Amazon

Introduction Human mobility across the Brazilian Amazon—shaped by frontier development, land-use change, mining activity, and climatic shocks—remains a major barrier to malaria elimination. Brazil aims to eliminate Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) by 2030 and Plasmodium vivax (Pv) by 2...

Challenges of parliamentary engagement in health policymaking in Iran: a qualitative study using Gaventa’s power cube framework

Parliaments play an important role in health governance through legislation, budgeting and oversight. However, their practical influence on health policy decisions remains poorly understood in systems where executive institutions and expert actors dominate policy processes. In Ir...

Capacity Utilization and Its Impact on Airline's Financial Performance: Evidence From the U.S. Airline Industry

ABSTRACT Capacity utilization, operationalized as passenger load factor, is the airline industry's primary efficiency metric, yet evidence on its financial return remains inconsistent. We attribute the contradictions to two deficiencies: econometric methods that conflate cross‐se...

Microstructure‐Dependent Bonding of Wear Debris in 13Cr–4Ni Martensitic Stainless Steel: A Molecular Dynamics Study

The atomic‐scale consolidation of wear debris into a debris‐derived tribological layer is critical to the sliding response of martensitic stainless steel, yet the role of initial microstructure in debris bonding remains elusive. This study elucidates these mechanisms by coupling...

Drug Permeation Dataset Across Diverse Chemical Space Using PermeaPad and High-Throughput Plate Reader Assays

Abstract Purpose High-throughput permeation assays are essential tools in drug discovery for identifying small molecules with favorable permeability, yet quantifying their transport kinetics across biomimetic membranes often relies on resource-intensive chromatographic methods. H...

ENTANGLEMENT-BASED QUANTUM COMMUNICATION OVER 144 KM

This article develops an expanded critical–propositional analysis of Rupert Ursin and collaborators’ experiment, “Entanglement-Based Quantum Communication over 144 km,” published in Nature Physics in 2007, in systematic dialogue with the Theory of Objectivity (TO) developed by Vi...

Steady-state bifurcation analysis of a herbivore-vegetation reaction–diffusion model with memory effect

Spatial memory is a crucial cognitive ability that affects animals’ perception and judgment, and it has garnered widespread attention. However, its underlying mechanisms have not been fully understood. This paper constructs a herbivore-vegetation model with spatial memory effect,...

Complications of repeated transradial artery access for coronary angiography: a prospective cohort study

Radial artery access is preferred for coronary angiography due to reduced bleeding risk and faster recovery; however, the safety of repeated access through the same artery remains uncertain. This study aimed to describe the incidence of complications including occlusion, spasm, a...

Editing by prompt. How professional editors use ChatGPT when revising business texts

Writing technologies shape writing processes and practices. This was true of word processing, speech recognition, and writing with internet-based sources, each of which changed how writers produced and revised text. Generative AI may have an even more fundamental impact because i...

Larger and more abundant legal-sized targeted fish inside ‘no take’ areas of a subtropical marine park over a 12-year period

Context Multiple-use marine parks vary spatially in how they are managed, which may influence ecological response over time. Aims We surveyed four key targeted species (snapper, Chrysophrys auratus; pearl perch, Glaucosoma scapulare; venus tuskfish, Choerodon venustus; grey morwo...

A few vectors for a mixed folder: a pre-registered measurement of pooled directory embeddings

A folder's metadata is read before its files and holds a few kilobytes. A vector stored there can route a query without opening the folder, and the cheapest is the mean of its files' embeddings. We ask when the mean is enough and what to store when it is not. Under our main visio...

Being and Being This: Haecceity and the Univocal Concept of Being in Duns Scotus

Abstract Haecceity is often understood as a theoretical construct posited by Duns Scotus to explain individuation. This characterization is flawed in two ways: first, it lends haecceity an ad hoc appearance and obscures the fact that it is called for by Scotus’s most basic philos...

Deformation-enhanced fluid evolution and skarn–IOCG transition in the Paleoproterozoic Elaine Dorothy Cu–Au system, Mount Isa Inlier, Australia

Abstract The Elaine Dorothy Cu-Au deposit, located in the Mary Kathleen Domain of the Mount Isa Inlier, Australia, records the interaction of Paleoproterozoic skarn metasomatism, fluid evolution, and deformation. The deposit is hosted by carbonate- and calc-silicate-rich rocks of...

Core outcome set for quality of life of family caregivers of adults with epilepsy: A Delphi consensus study

OBJECTIVE: Epilepsy significantly affects daily functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of those living with the condition. Less is known about HRQOL of family caregivers of adults with epilepsy, yet the functioning of patients and caregivers is interlinked, and ca...
