Associations between countermovement jump performance and kick striking power in taekwondo athletes across sex and weight categories

Taekwondo (TKD) is an Olympic combat sport organized according to sex and weight categories. In TKD competitions, lower-extremity power production is a critical factor affecting optimal athletic performance, and the countermovement jump (CMJ) and absolute kicking power are consid...

Reactivity of a Soft Indium‐Based Frustrated Lewis Pair Towards Alkynes

The geminal pyridine stabilized frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) t Bu 2 In(py)CH 2 P t Bu 2 ( 1 ·py) was reacted with various alkynes. 1 ·py does not react with PhC≡CH, however, it does with the unsymmetrically substituted PhC≡CSiMe 3 and p‐ Br‐C 6 H 4 C≡CSiMe 3 under reversible forma...

Maternal and paternal perspectives on breastfeeding knowledge, facilities, and support in Hong Kong

Despite high breastfeeding initiation rates in Hong Kong, duration remains far below World Health Organization recommendations. Although fathers significantly influence breastfeeding choices, few studies have simultaneously evaluated paternal and maternal perspectives on influenc...

Alkyl-functionalized ZnS nanoparticles for optical management in quantum dot color conversion layers with inkjet printing compatibility

Achieving high color conversion efficiency by optimizing the optical properties of quantum dots (QDs) color conversion layers (CCLs) remains a challenge for next-generation display fabrication. CCLs, which convert blue light into red or green emission via photoluminescence, are k...

Cluster farming and household poverty extent: A causal mediation analysis of teff producers in Ethiopia

Abstract Background : Cluster farming (CF) has emerged as a promising collective and geographically concentrated approach in both developed and developing countries. Although CF has shown a significant effect on poverty reduction, the existing literature has overlooked the mechan...

Molecular Characterization and Functional Analysis of Pomacea canaliculata Mos Gene (PcMos): A Molecular Switch of Female Fecundity

The invasive Pomacea canaliculata has emerged as a notorious pest that endangers aquatic crops, ecological services and functioning. Although well-documented as a mammalian oocyte maturation factor, the biological roles of Moloney sarcoma oncogene (Mos) in invertebrates, notably...

Titin gene mutation is related to refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children

This study aimed to elucidate the association of Titin ( TTN ) gene mutations with refractory pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This investigation, included 152 pediatric patients with ALL who were treated in Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital between 2019 and 202...

No External-Field Effect: Cluster-Satellite Lensing, the Cassini Quadrupole and the Outer Solar System Point to an EFE-Blind MOND Sector

Version 1.0 (AI-assisted research programme; not peer reviewed). We test the quadrature MOND law g^2 = g_N^2 + a0 g_N (a0 = (1/2) c sqrt(G rho_Lambda)) against three data sets sensitive to the external-field effect (EFE). Weak lensing of cluster satellites (Sifon et al. 2018, fiv...

Piezo1 Activation by Yoda1 Inhibits Mechanosensitive ATP Release in Human Urothelial Cells and Bladder Overactivity in Rats with Bladder Outlet Obstruction

Urothelial ATP release during bladder filling modulates afferent nerve activity and detrusor contractility to regulate the micturition reflex, yet the upstream mechanosensory mechanism linking distension to ATP release remains unclear. Here we investigated the role of Piezo1 in r...

Parental Stigma and “Good Parenting” in Child and Adolescent Mental Health

OBJECTIVE: Parents of children with mental health problems often experience judgment about their parenting. Such stigma is associated with lower parental well-being and greater child symptom severity. Theory-driven descriptions of and interventions for parental stigma are limited...

Purification performance of coconut fibers, palm kernel fibers, and shredded plastic bottles in biofilter septic tanks: efficiency and limitations

ABSTRACT This biofiltration system tests three substrates: plastic fragments (COD: -55%, turbidity: -95%, nitrates: -60%), palm kernel fibers (COD: -69%, turbidity: -95%, nitrates: -70%), and coconut fibers. The latter show optimal performances with a maximum reduction in COD (-7...

Clinical outcomes after cystectomy or unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for seromucinous borderline ovarian tumors: a single-center retrospective cohort study

Seromucinous borderline ovarian tumor (SMBT) is an uncommon subtype of borderline ovarian tumor characterized by Müllerian-type differentiation and frequent coexistence with endometriosis. Because of its rarity, its clinicopathological characteristics and the oncologic and reprod...

Anticoagulation Treatment Response Among Phenotypic ESUS Clusters: Evidence From CASPR

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate treatment effect heterogeneity across phenotypic clusters of patients with cryptogenic embolic stroke using causal inference methods. Methods From a retrospective, multicenter cohort of patients with cryptogenic embolic stroke, we estimated the trea...

Zebrafish hoxba and hoxbb clusters are redundantly required for posterior pharyngeal pouch development

BACKGROUND: Pharyngeal pouch formation is fundamental to vertebrate craniofacial development, but molecular mechanisms underlying posterior pouch formation remain incompletely understood. Retinoic acid (RA) signaling is required for posterior pharyngeal development, and Hox genes...

Mixed uncertainty information and volatility in the green bond market based on a new two-regime GARCH-MIDAS extension model

Purpose This study pioneers a novel two-regime Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity–Mixed Data Sampling (GARCH-MIDAS) extension model to disentangle the dual dynamics of traditional drivers and mixed uncertainty indicators in green bond market volatility. Unl...
