Musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomic risk factors among petrochemical control room operators with health promotion and intervention strategies

This study aimed to assess musculoskeletal and ergonomic risk, identify demographic, occupational, lifestyle, and biomechanical characteristics associated with these outcomes, and develop and prioritize ergonomic intervention strategies for petrochemical control room operators. T...

Predictive value of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal screening for MRSA in a clinical culture in solid organ transplant recipients

In this retrospective cohort study of 318 solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, the MRSA nasal PCR demonstrated high specificity (0.95) and negative predictive value (0.98) for MRSA in clinical cultures. In low-risk SOT recipients, negative MRSA nasal PCR may support de-escala...

Unveiling the Microbial Community of Naturally Fermented Bella di Cerignola PDO Table Olives Integrating Culture-Dependent, MALDI-TOF MS Identification and Long-Read Metabarcoding Approaches

Spontaneous fermentation of table olives is driven by complex microbial communities that influence product quality and safety. This study investigated the microbial community during the intermediate and late stages (from 3 to 6 months) of spontaneous fermentation of Bella di Ceri...

Associations Among Perceived Teacher and Peer Emotions, Learners’ Own Emotions, and Engagement in Online English Learning

Emotion is integral to foreign language classrooms. Although recent research has expanded beyond learners to consider teachers and peers, these sources of classroom emotions have often been examined separately. Consequently, the associations among students’ perceptions of teacher...

A stress‐balance‐based critical Weber number for droplets and bubbles

Abstract Predicting droplet and bubble breakup in turbulent flows is critical for optimizing multiphase flow processes such as emulsification and atomization. Traditional models based on a fixed critical Weber number () may not capture interfacial‐stress dominance in low‐viscosit...

Clinical–Histopathological Concordance of Surgical Triage and the Unexpected Acute Phenotype in 773 Consecutive Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies

Background and Objectives: Surgical triage and final histopathological classification do not always fully overlap. This study evaluated their concordance, the frequency of unexpected acute pathology among electively scheduled patients, and associated preoperative characteristics....

Making virtual real: User-informed design priorities in the physicalization of AI-generated clothing

Amid growing efforts to showcase design capability and meet young users’ demand for novel identities, fashion brands are increasingly engaging in the physicalization of AI-generated virtual clothing. This study explores how Chinese Generation Z users evaluate and prioritize the d...

Verification of the odd-period focal inversion area product

Attributed verification/research note giving a self-contained flag-curve proof of the historical odd-period focal inversion signed-area product: k903,a in Reznik--Garcia--Koiller arXiv:2004.12497v11 and Conjecture 1 of Reznik--Garcia--Helman arXiv:2012.03020v2. Alper Ferudun, Pro...

The Scaling-Rotation Chain Metric for Positive-Definite Two by Two Matrices

The scaling-rotation distance between positive-definite matrices minimizes the distance between their eigendecomposition fibers. Its associated chain metric also allows changes of eigenframe at repeated eigenvalues. For real two by two matrices we compute that chain metric explic...

"Can Model Confidence Triage Qualitative Coding? Decision Models, LLMs, and What a 5% Error Guarantee Actually Costs".

Language models can apply qualitative codebooks, but their labels save effort only if a researcher knows which ones to trust. We ask whether model confidence can tell, comparing seven decision models (APIs that return probabilities for typed questions) with twelve LLM confidence...

Neuroendoscopic‐Assisted vs. Conventional Burr‐Hole Drainage for Septated Chronic Subdural Hematoma: A Comparative Cohort Study on Efficacy and Long‐Term Functional Outcomes

ABSTRACT Objective Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is prevalent in the elderly. Its septated variant poses a significant surgical challenge, as conventional burr‐hole drainage often yields suboptimal results due to incomplete evacuation. Neuroendoscopy has emerged as a potential...

Triaxial Accelerometry Sensor for Respiratory-Effort Phase Landmark Detection During Sleep: A Cross-Modal Weak Supervision Approach

Reliable respiratory phase sensing is important for respiratory-synchronized hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS), but conventional sensing approaches may impose additional burden. This pilot study investigated whether a surface triaxial accelerometry sensor (TAS) could detect th...

Optimization by genetic algorithm of H2 production from aluminum water reaction in alkaline solution

An experimental laboratory setup was designed to produce gaseous H 2 from aluminum particles obtained by melting and spraying recycled material. To evaluate process performance, a design of experiments was conducted with the following four factors: particle size of recycled alumi...

Spatial Prediction of Tractor Noise and Detection of Atypical Sound Pressure Levels Using Machine Learning

Prolonged exposure to high sound pressure levels (SPLs) in agricultural tractors, especially when the power take-off (PTO) is engaged, poses serious health risks to operators. While machine learning has been applied in agriculture, little progress has been made in predicting SPLs...

Subclinical hypothyroidism and suicidal behavior: Clinical relevance in psychiatric practice

ABSTRACT Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), defined by elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone with normal free thyroxine, is traditionally regarded as a clinically silent and benign endocrine state. This assumption, however, is increasingly challenged in psychiatric populations, whe...

AMY-SA-XGBoost: A Machine Learning Model to Predict Amylase Specific Activity

Abstract Amylase is an important enzyme preparation, and its enzyme activity directly determines its catalytic efficiency in starch hydrolysis. However, current experimental methods for determining amylase specific activity are time-consuming and costly, and experimentally measur...

A Two-Stage Unsupervised–Supervised Machine Learning Framework for Maximum Power Point Tracking of Photovoltaic Systems

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is essential for maximizing photovoltaic (PV) energy extraction under changing operating conditions. This paper investigates a two-stage machine-learning framework combining K-means or fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering of irradiance–temperature co...

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli escapes autolysosome exocytosis by inhibiting autophagosome–lysosome fusion

ABSTRACT Urinary tract infections (UTIs), predominantly caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), represent a massive global health burden. UPEC infects bladder epithelial cells (BECs) via fusiform vesicles and then escapes into the cytosol, either establishing biofilm-lik...
