A Study on the Identification of Partial Discharges in Typical Defects of Cross-Linked Polyethylene Cables Using the CNN-SE-RAP Algorithm

To address the reliance on manual interpretation and the limited discrimination capability of conventional methods for highly similar phase-resolved partial discharge (PRPD) patterns in cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables, a convolutional neural network incorporating squeeze-...

24h Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Field Exposure Modulates Immune Responses in Rats

We examined the immune response induced by 24-hour continuous exposure to an ultra-low-frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) in white rats. We placed the experimental group wild-type albino rats in a special coil generating an electromagnetic field of 2 mT at a frequency of 50 Hz...

Serum BDNF, VEGF, and EGF Levels in Pregnant Women with Anxiety and Depression

Antenatal anxiety and depression frequently co-occur, negatively affecting maternal and offspring outcomes, yet their biological correlates remain insufficiently characterized. This cross-sectional study examined associations between anxiety and depressive symptoms and serum conc...

Training the next generation of minimally invasive HPB surgeons: are current fellowships crossing the learning curve?

Abstract Background Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) improved outcomes in hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) cases, yet adoption is slowed by technical complexity and steep learning curves. This retrospective review sought to characterize MIS training variations across three fellowship...

Revisiting the relation between oral contraceptive use and attentional engagement in everyday life: The role of formulation

Oral contraceptives (OCs) are composed of artificial estrogen (ethinyl-estradiol) and/or progesterone (progestin), which can attach to receptors in the brain and potentially influence cognition. One prior study suggested that OC use was associated with increased mind-wandering –...

The Social Reality Inversion Curve (SRIC): A neuropsychiatric and social-cognitive framework of algorithmic delusion and collective epistemic erosion

Digital information ecosystems have altered the social conditions under which people encounter, repeat, evaluate, and challenge information. This conceptual paper introduces the Social Reality Inversion Curve (SRIC), a proposed model describing how affective salience, repeated al...

The domestic violence myth acceptance scale in Brazil: cross-cultural adaptation and initial construct-validity evidence

Domestic violence against women constitutes a structural public health problem. The original scale measures the endorsement of these beliefs but requires adaptation and psychometric validation for Brazilian Portuguese individuals. The aim of this study was to culturally adapt and...

Analysis of institutional governance for the development of climate-smart agriculture in Sistan and Baluchestan Province, Iran

The present study aimed to analyze the role of institutional governance in developing climate-smart agriculture (CSA) in Sistan and Baluchestan Province, Iran. Given the intensification of challenges caused by climate change and weaknesses in institutional coordination, the succe...

Diapausing adult female mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in overwintering sites in Estonia in 2023–2024: Species composition and variation

In temperate regions, several mosquito species overwinter as diapausing females in sheltered habitats, enabling them to serve as early-season vectors of mosquito-borne pathogens. While overwintering species compositions have been documented in several parts of Europe, no comprehe...

Streptococcus pneumoniae haemolytic uraemic syndrome in Aotearoa New Zealand across changing pneumococcal conjugate vaccine eras

Objective To describe the epidemiology, clinical features, microbiology and outcomes of paediatric Streptococcus pneumoniae haemolytic uraemic syndrome (SpHUS) in Aotearoa New Zealand across changing pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) eras. Design Retrospective case series. Set...

Efficient latent-vision enabled generative data augmented pipeline for medical image analysis with hybrid deep learning approach

Medical image analysis is an important process involved in diagnosing diseases, but a lack of data, class imbalance, and poor interpretability of deep learning models hamper it. In this study, these problems are overcome by proposing a hybrid generative data-augmented method for...

Design of a load-responsive mechanical pressure limiter for overload protection in hydraulic actuators

To improve the overload protection performance of hydraulic actuators under dynamic load variations, a load-responsive mechanical pressure-limiting device is proposed with a wheel loader as the application background. The device integrates a pressure-sensitive element, a pressure...

Veřejní notáři na meziválečné Podkarpatské Rusi

As in many other areas of the administration of Subcarpathian Ruthenia, in the area of justice, a number of temporary measures persisted, which proved to be long-term, but mainly functional, even if they did not fully satisfy the call for the fulfillment of autonomous status. In...

The domain-specific bias in creativity evaluation: human evaluators favor human-created art, but prefer AI outputs for divergent thinking

Abstract How do humans perceive and evaluate creativity when it is attributed to artificial intelligence (AI)? This research examined how labeling a source as “AI” versus “human” systematically biases creativity evaluations across different domains. In experiment 1 (painting and...

Data and code for: Rail asymmetry as an input offset: an exact duty-cycle modulation law and two-point physical calibration for microcontroller-based sensing

Bench sweep of a non-inverting duty-cycle modulator, complete on-board logs of an ESP32-S3 microcontroller (temperature and voltmeter applications), fixed-input noise-floor sessions for two edge-capture backends on two days, two on-board two-point calibration sessions, three onli...

The Firstborn Who Never Stood in His Place: Reuben’s Self-Undermining Leadership in the Jacob Family Narrative (Gen 29–50)

Reuben is the least studied of the displaced firstborn sons of Genesis whose material can sustain a reading of character, and his scenes have been read piecemeal. This article reads every scene in which he acts (30:14a; 35:22a; 37:21–22, 29–30; 42:22; 42:37), with the verdict of...
