Low Back Pain as a Nursing Education Priority

Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of years lived with disability globally, and a major rehabilitation priority, yet nursing education often does not translate burden evidence into first-contact actions across care settings. This article aimed to develop a nursing education...

Parameter Recovery for the Three‐Dimensional Primitive Equations With Magnetic Field via Continuous Data Assimilation

ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate the parameter recovery within the Azouani–Olson–Titi (AOT) continuous data assimilation framework for the three‐dimensional (3D) primitive equations with magnetic field. We analyze the long‐time error between the reference and assimilation s...

IMPROVING SOCIOPRAGMATIC COMPETENCE OF STUDENTS PROCESS AND CRITERIA

It is well recognized that while teaching foreign languages, some of us possess specific competencies. Moreover, strengthening students' sociopragmatic ability is crucial. In contemporary education, possessing sociopragmatic competency has become increasingly important, in additi...

Neural Assimilation and Accommodation in Trilinguals: An fMRI Study at 7 T

Understanding how multiple languages are represented in the multilingual brain is critical to theories of multilingual assimilation and accommodation. Whether a second language (L2) recruits native-like networks (assimilation) or engages additional neural resources (accommodation...

Predicting Poor Efficacy of Cabozantinib in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma by Exploratory Metabolic Pathway Analysis and In Vitro Verification

ABSTRACT Background Cabozantinib (CABO) is currently an essential drug for first‐line and sequential therapy in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Predicting its therapeutic efficacy will enable efficient drug selection and improve the prognosis of patients. We...

Intergovernmental Relations and Governance Outcomes in Nigeria: A Critical Analysis

The study examines intergovernmental relations in Nigeria; how they have influenced the management of interactions among different levels of government in the country; and how their structural features have either strengthened or undermined the country’s governance. The study ado...

Influence of the R-Ratio and the Temperature on the Coefficients of a Novel Exponential Approach for the Formulaic Description of Fatigue Crack Growth Rate Curves

Investigating crack growth in sheet metal originating from clinched joints is a major part of predicting the service life of mechanically joined structures. Clinching allows different materials to be joined together. A key task in this context is to perform crack growth simulatio...

Adhesion Improvement in Diamond Films on Stainless Steel Under Scratch Conditions via Cr/CrSiVN Interlayers

Diamond films deposited on stainless steel using a Cr/CrSiN interlayer exhibit excellent adhesion under static conditions but poor adhesion under scratch conditions. We developed a new interlayer Cr/CrSiVN and investigated the influence of different vanadium (V) contents on the a...

Additionality and Asymmetric Information in Environmental Markets: Evidence from Conservation Auctions

Mechanisms that aim to reduce environmental degradation at low cost can be undermined when participants' conservation actions are not marginal to the incentive—or “additional”—as the lowest-cost participants may not be the highest social value. We investigate this challenge in th...

Combined Associations of Alcohol Consumption Frequency and Healthy Lifestyle With Risk of Sudden Cardiac Arrest: A Multicenter Case–Control Study

BACKGROUND: Frequent alcohol consumption is a cardiovascular risk factor, but its association with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) across lifestyle profiles remains unclear. We examined the combined associations of drinking frequency and Healthy Lifestyle Score (HLS) with SCA. METHOD...

Protocol for induction and quantification of injury-primed axon outgrowth in adult mouse DRG neurons

Adult dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons provide a powerful model to study axon growth. Dissociated lumbar L3-L5 DRG neurons extend axons de novo in culture, enabling the measurement of baseline outgrowth. Here, we present a protocol for inducing and quantifying injury-primed axo...

Improving Environmental Citizenship Competencies of Middle School Students Through Social Media-Supported Out-of-School Learning Methods: An Action Research Study

The main objective of this study is to improve the environmental citizenship competencies of sixth-grade students in social studies lessons using out-of-school learning environments and media tools. The study employed an action research method. The study group consisted of sixth-...

Ecological state changes alter soil organic carbon stocks in the American Midwest: an equilibrium perspective

The U.S. Midwest exemplifies anthropogenically driven losses of soil organic carbon (SOC) following conversion of the North American prairie to agricultural over the past two centuries. The current near-equilibrium SOC of the agriculturally dominated Midwest is a new phase for th...

Scala Tympani Versus Scala Vestibuli Cochlear Implantation in Incomplete Partition Type III Malformation

Incomplete partition type III (IP-III) is a congenital inner ear malformation characterized by a deficient separation between the cochlear modiolus and the internal auditory canal (IAC). In patients with IP-III and severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss, cochlear implantat...

Protocol for optogenetic stimulation of cells under physical confinement

Optogenetic approaches enable spatiotemporal control of signaling proteins, yet their integration with microfluidic assays to study confined cell migration remains challenging. Herein, we present a protocol for the optogenetic activation of PI3K/Akt signaling in confined cells. W...

Impact of the 2018 periodontal classification on diagnosis, treatment strategies, and assessment of prognosis by dental hygienists in Swedish general dental care

treatment strategies, and prognostic assessments made by dental hygienists in general dentistry, compared with the 1999 classification. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A questionnaire comprising five patient cases was administered to dental hygienists in Sweden on two separate occasions....

Sequence-Controlled Synthesis of Heteroaryl-Substituted Decahydroacridine-1,8-diones: Comparative Evaluation of Preformed Enaminone and Multicomponent Routes

Six 9-thienyl-10-aryl-substituted 3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-decahydroacridine-1,8-diones (5a–f) were prepared by two acid-mediated routes that used the same solvent, temperature, and reaction time. In the sequential route, preformed 5,5-dimethyl-3-(arylamino)cyclohex-2-enones were reac...

Applied nucleation promotes recovery of New Zealand raised bog vegetation toward a reference community

Abstract Introduction Applied nucleation aims to restore degraded ecosystems efficiently by establishing vegetation patches that increase in biodiversity and extent through natural dispersal and facilitation. Although widely tested in terrestrial ecosystems, its long‐term outcome...

Myopia prevalence in Finland doubled from 1930s to 1950s birth cohorts and is linked to educational attainment

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of myopia and factors associated with the increase of myopia prevalence in Finland between two generations and discuss the reasons why myopia has not increased similarly as in many Asian countries. METHODS: A que...
