Gaze and Facial Expression‐Based Multimodal Network for Depression Assessment in Young Adults

ABSTRACT Depression remains a critical mental health challenge worldwide, particularly among young adults. Traditional assessment methods often raise privacy concerns and can heighten psychological resistance. To overcome these barriers, we introduce the Gaze and Facial Expressio...

Physical Activity and Risk of Liver Cancer: A Competing Risk Analysis

Physical activity is associated with lower risk of liver cancer, but obtaining an unbiased estimate of the causal effect is challenging due to the competing risk of death due to any other cause. We performed a causal competing risk analysis to estimate the total effect of physica...

Nonlinear dynamics of an eccentrically rotating flexible hub-beam system

Rotating axis eccentricity is a prevalent and virtually unavoidable challenge in rotating machinery and aerospace structures, stemming from geometric deviations introduced during manufacturing, assembly, or prolonged operation. This work investigates the nonlinear dynamics of a f...

Combined Maximum Tolerated Activity and Lesion-based Dosimetry for Personalized Radioiodine Therapy in Metastatic Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma: An Early Institutional Experience

Objectives: Empirical fixed-activity radioiodine (RAI) therapy remains widely used in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), despite substantial inter-patient variability in iodine kinetics. Pre-therapeutic dosimetry offers a personalised approach by estimating radiation exposur...

Healthcare professionals’ views on expanding newborn screening with or without genomics in France: Results of the SeDeN-p2 study

Abstract Therapeutic advances and the rapid, cost-effective development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) have increased interest in expanding newborn screening (NBS) through genomics. The SeDeN-p2 study assessed the acceptability among healthcare professionals in France, of ex...

A global consistent database of plankton and detritus from in situ imaging by the Underwater Vision Profiler 5

Plankton and detritus are essential components of the Earth's oceans influencing biogeochemical cycles and carbon sequestration. Climate change impacts their composition and fluxes, and marine ecosystems as a whole. To improve our understanding of these changes, standardized obse...

Design and Mechanical Analysis of a 2-in-1 Integrated Self-Cleaning Particulate Filter and Acoustic Shell Damper for Emerging Markets

Ecological momentary assessment of social context and physical activity: a systematic review

Abstract Background Physical activity is shaped by social context, yet most research relies on retrospective, cross-sectional measures that cannot capture the moment-to-moment social dynamics of daily life. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) offers a methodologically distinct...

Beyond Human–AI Symbiosis: Toward a Population Ecology of Cognitive Hybrids

As prolonged interaction with artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into human intellectual activity, the relevant unit of analysis may extend beyond individual users, AI models, and human–AI dyads. This paper proposes a population-level perspective in which per...

Evaluation of Drug-Associated Phototoxicity Under 980 nm Near-Infrared Laser Irradiation in Human Dermal Fibroblasts

Background: Many widely used drugs—including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, tetracyclines and thiazide diuretics—are labelled as photosensitising, yet their phototoxicity has been defined almost entirely by ultraviolet A (UVA) exposure. Whether this risk extends to the ne...

The spatial crises of capitalism and in-between spaces as an instrument of urban production: the case of Galataport

This study examines the ontological transformation of in-between spaces from the 1960s to the present, within capitalism’s spatial crises. While previous literature has viewed these spaces as idle voids or symptoms of spatial segregation, this study reimagines them as dynamic mod...

Postoperative Opioid Use Prediction Calculator Performance in Patients Undergoing Gynecologic Surgery

Importance Postoperative opioid overprescription contributes to the opioid epidemic. Objective To expand and validate a gynecologic oncology–developed postoperative opioid use prediction calculator in a diverse surgical population and evaluate whether it could be modified for pre...

From Vine-to-Jar: Nutritional, Physicochemical and Sensory Properties of Chickpea Chocolate Spreads Fortified with Grape-Derived Ingredients

Current reformulation strategies call for the development of healthier nutrient-dense foods. Chickpeas are high in fiber and protein, while grape powder (GP) and grape skin powder (GSP) are grape-derived ingredients that could positively affect the functional properties of foods....

Multi-Criteria GIS Prioritization of Urban Housing Renovation: A Case Study of Astana, Kazakhstan

Housing-renovation programs in post-Soviet cities typically rely on a single wear-percentage threshold to decide which buildings are demolished, disregarding the building age relative to normative service life, population density, and construction logistics. This study develops a...

MRI Visualization of Melatonin‐Promoted Oligodendrogenesis and Its Neuroprotective Effects in Preterm White Matter Injury Rat Model

Preterm white matter injury (PWMI) is a serious neurologic condition that threatens neonatal survival and severely impairs the cognitive and motor development of affected children. Melatonin (Mel), a neuroendocrine hormone with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, has sh...

Strategising social innovation paradoxes: four faces of energy citizenship

Social innovation (SI) is an increasingly prominent area of innovation. Involving changes in social relations, SI practice is pervaded with tensions and apparent paradoxes, however. The ‘productive use of paradox’ has been articulated theoretically and demonstrated empirically, b...

Seasonal characteristics of submicron aerosols in the coastal atmosphere of southeastern Korea: Influence of urban-port outflow

The impacts of emissions from major urban-port complexes on the coastal marine atmosphere remain insufficiently constrained. Seasonal measurements of submicron aerosol mass concentrations, chemical composition, and particle size distributions were conducted at Geoje Island, a coa...

The Role of Membranes in Tissue Regeneration Therapy: State of the Art and Future Perspectives

Abstract Membranes for tissue regeneration are an indispensable class of biomaterials in regenerative medicine, serving as selective barriers and matrices for the reconstruction of various tissues. Essential characteristics for the clinical success of a biomaterial include its bi...

Modelling of the reaction kinetics and phase evolution of alkali-activated slag–fly ash blends

The reaction process of alkali-activated slag–fly ash (AASF) systems exhibits significant multi-stage characteristics and is governed by the coupled effects of the precursor composition and parameters of the activator. Existing kinetic studies have largely focused on empirical fi...
