Post-treatment transitions after active cancer care often lack clear ownership, timelines and closure rules, shifting coordination work onto survivors and staff. We aimed to identify how these failures arise and to co-design a handover standard for post-treatment survivorship car...

Observational Phase-Coherent Residual Modulation in Type Ia Supernova Hubble Diagrams
We analyze a reported nonlinear-phase modulation in Type Ia supernovaHubble-diagram residuals, emphasizing visualization, cross-compilation phasecoherence, look-elsewhere effects, waveform choice, endpoint artifacts, andpassband systematics. In a reconstructed 7687-entry diagnost...

Abstract Introduction Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health concern, often diagnosed late, particularly in India. Hemodialysis (HD), the most common treatment, impacts quality of life and can lead to impaired respiratory functions. Spirometry parameters (FVC, FEV₁) asse...

Salt Crystallization-InducingStrong and Tough Hydrogels
Abstract Research on salt-mediated hydrogel structure and property modulation often neglects the potential effects of salt crystallization. Here, we leverage the crystallization of sodium phytate during poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel dehydration to induce the formation of den...

Increasing BiocharYield in Pyrolysis by Adding Ash
Abstract Wood ash additives increase biochar yield in pyrolysis via catalysis by alkali and alkaline earth metals. However, it remains unclear how ash and biomass properties govern the magnitude of this catalytic effect. Here, we pyrolyzed pelleted and ash-amended woody and grami...

Emphysematous Pyelonephritis Masquerading as Diabetic Ketoacidosis: A Case Report
Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rare, fulminant, gas-forming necrotising infection of the renal parenchyma and surrounding tissue that occurs almost exclusively in patients with diabetes mellitus and carries substantial morbidity and mortality if not recognised promptly....

Abstract Excessive lipid accumulation impairs digestion and gastrointestinal function. Transmembrane protein 135 (TMEM135) is involved in lipid metabolism of various tissues. Here, TMEM135 deficiency increased intestinal lipid absorption through ELOVL6-dependent oleoylethanolamid...

Abstract It has been demonstrated that the abatement of micropollutants in drinking water by biological activated carbon (BAC) filters with aged media deteriorates due to the decreased porosity and aerobic metabolism in dense biofilm. In this study, micro- and nanobubbles (MNBs)...

Gardens are the most perishable class of built heritage. A demolished building leaves foundations, fragments, andusually documents; a garden leaves soil. When the garden in question was a working kitchen garden at a minorWestphalian castle — never painted, never engraved, never d...

Abstract Electrochemical water splitting is a promising route in clean energy production. Therefore, the development of efficient, stable, and cost-effective electrocatalysts remains highly desirable. Here, we report a facile nanopore-confinement strategy for growing well-dispers...

Beyond Capital and Labour: The Firm as a Flow Architecture for Organizational Value Creation
Why do firms with similar capital, labour, technologies, and market access produce radically different outcomes? This conceptual paper develops a dynamical architecture of organizational value creation. It treats the firm as a cross-temporal flow architecture through which resour...

The Effects of Stop Sexual Harassment: a Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract Sexual and gendered harassment is prevalent among adolescents and associated with health outcomes. Evidence from randomized controlled trials of school-based interventions addressing such harassment outside dating contexts among students under 16 years is limited. This s...
