Prioritizing Parameters of EDGE Certification for Public Office Building Renovation in Bangkok, Thailand

The building industry accounts for one-third of global energy consumption and CO2eq emissions, yet research on green certification for public-building renovations remains limited in Southeast Asia. This study prioritizes parameters for achieving Excellence in Design for Greater E...

Best Practices for Optimizing Recovery from Sepsis; Results of an Expert Panel

Abstract Background Over one million patients survive sepsis annually in the USA. After sepsis, patients often experience new morbidity, with high rates of readmission and post-acute mortality. However, there are limited data to inform best practices to support recovery from seps...

Nurse‐Led Interventions to Mitigate High‐Alert Medication Errors in Critical Care: A Systematic Review of Effectiveness and Implementation Strategies

BACKGROUND: Intensive care units (ICUs) are high-risk environments where nurses administer the majority of high-alert medications, making them the final checkpoint in the medication-use process. However, evidence on nurse-led interventions specifically targeting high-alert medica...

Impact of an Environmental Index of Recruitment on the Stock Assessment for Petrale Sole ( Eopsetta jordani Lockington, 1878) in the California Current Ecosystem

ABSTRACT Stock assessments provide key scientific input for managing fisheries. Age‐structure information is important for these assessments because it provides the foundation for estimating recruitment, which impacts estimates of future spawning biomass and other assessment para...

Generative AI Use and the Verification Gap Follow Opposing Social Gradients in Türkiye

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) use and online information checking may be socially patterned in different ways. This cross-sectional study analysed the 2025 Turkish Statistical Institute ICT survey of 22,502 internet users aged 16–74 using weighted modified Poisson regre...

Management of Urinary Symptoms in Multiple Sclerosis: An Umbrella Review

BACKGROUND: Lower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTDs) are prevalent among patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), which is the most common immune-mediated neurologic disease among the juvenile population. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different methods in t...

Evaluating an e-learning curriculum for forensic nurse examiners on providing supports to persons sex trafficked

Sex trafficking is a pervasive health and human rights issue, disproportionately experienced by structurally marginalized women and girls, in Canada and globally. Specialized forensic nurses are well positioned to respond to sex trafficking by offering needed supports, however, c...

Ocular Gene Therapy in China: Technological Framework, Clinical Translation, and Future Perspectives

The eye is well suited to gene therapy because of its compartmentalized anatomy, accessibility for local delivery, and capacity for longitudinal assessment. In China, ocular gene therapy is undergoing rapid clinical translation, with expanding innovation in vector engineering, de...

Materials Analysis and Conservation of an Eighteenth-Century Qing Imperial Court Fenjian Calligraphy Scroll

Abstract Court-produced fenjian (mineral-coated paper) from the Qianlong reign of the Qing dynasty (1736–1795) is characterized by its multilayered structure and delicate mineral coating, making it highly susceptible to powder loss, embrittlement, and structural fragmentation. Th...

Finite Reclosure and Temporal Fisher Transport: A Local Lorentzian Response-Curvature Construction

We construct an explicit local Lorentzian response geometry with nonzero curvature from two previously separated ingredients: the Fisher–Rao geometry obtained as a hidden-flow quotient of a finite closure–residue system, and a continuous-time population flow induced by a finite-d...

Dialysis Clinic Patient Flow and Work Design

Problem Definition: For 433,000 patients in the United States with advanced kidney failure, hemodialysis is a life-sustaining treatment. Approximately 7,600 outpatient dialysis clinics serve these patients, whose treatments cost over $25 billion annually. Each treatment involves...

Physical Activity and Depressive Symptoms in Guangdong University Students: A Cross-Sectional Moderated Serial Indirect-Association Model Involving Self-Esteem, Positive Psychological Capital, and Perceived Social Support

Background: This cross-sectional study examined whether physical activity was indirectly associated with depressive symptoms through self-esteem and positive psychological capital and whether these associations varied by perceived social support. Methods: Data from 473 students a...

Beyond doomsday and infinity: reaching human boundaries in the age of AI: a viewpoint contribution for Kybernetes

Purpose This viewpoint contribution revisits Heinz von Foerster's famous “Doomsday” article in the context of the twenty-first century transition toward artificial intelligence (AI), demographic stagnation and planetary boundaries. While von Foerster, Mora and Amiot (1960) projec...

Multidomain Post-Concussive Symptom Trajectories and Biopsychosocial Correlates Following Pediatric Concussion

IMPORTANCE: Understanding how post-concussive symptoms (PCS) evolve across multiple domains and how these patterns relate to biopsychosocial factors is critical for identifying children at risk of prolonged recovery following concussion. OBJECTIVE: To identify clinically meaningf...

Sliding metasurfaces: a two-in-one meta-device for frequency filtering and beam steering

Metasurfaces are considered the backbone of the ongoing photonics revolution to shape the electromagnetic waves on demand via a flat array of resonators. The beauty of metasurfaces lies in their ability to simultaneously control multiple waves. However, obtaining such multi-funct...

Response-Surface-Guided Extraction and Copper Modification of Nanocellulose from Corn Cob and Hemp Hurds: Source- and Loading-Dependent Structural and Electrochemical Properties

Agricultural residues offer a source of nanocellulose for developing functional composites. This study examined how biomass source, extraction conditions, and copper loading affect the structural and electrochemical properties of nanocellulose derived from hemp hurds and corn cob...

Friendship quality and suicidal ideation : the role of negative interpersonal beliefs

Friendship quality has been consistently linked to decreased suicidal ideation (Adrian et al., 2016; Mueller et al., 2022; Stephanie & Chen, 2020), but the protective mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. Drawing on the interpersonal theory of suicide (Van Orden...

Fabrication of Multicavity Hierarchically Porous Carbon Nanospheres Using Compressed CO2 for Overall Water Splitting

Abstract The rational design of efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts is crucial for overall water splitting. As a catalyst support, the multicavity hierarchically porous carbon spheres scaffold facilitates efficient electron transport and structural stability during catalysis....

Evolution Trends of Urban–Rural Logistics Convergence Development in China Against the Background of Digital Economy

The convergence development of urban–rural logistics is of great significance for narrowing the divide and promoting the exchange between urban and rural areas. The digital economy has emerged as an effective pathway to break down the industrial boundaries and drive high-quality...

Persistent Post-Concussion Syndrome After Its Withdrawal from DSM-5 and ICD-11: Definitional Disagreement and the Neurocognitive Gap

A substantial minority of patients do not recover fully after mild traumatic brain injury. Persistent post-concussion syndrome includes both cognitive and non-cognitive manifestations, yet DSM-5 and ICD-11 withdrew the syndrome as a distinct diagnosis and reorganized its persiste...
