Rural digitalization leverages common prosperity by scenescapes innovation

Purpose Rural digitalization has evolved from infrastructure deployment to endogenous growth empowerment, yet faces a critical paradox: substantial technological investments often fail to guarantee sustainable prosperity. This study integrates resource orchestration theory with s...

Impact of retinal break location on surgical outcomes in primary uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: Superior versus inferior breaks

Abstract Purpose To compare the anatomical and functional outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for primary uncomplicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with superior versus inferior retinal breaks. Methods This retrospective study included 675 eyes of 675 patients, of...

First-Year Chemistry Connections: Social Bonds and Disciplinary Belonging

Abstract First-year chemistry courses play a pivotal role in shaping student success within science programs, yet they are often characterized by high stakes, large enrollments, and considerable academic challenges. This study explores first-year science students’ sense of belong...

The Framework for Policy Decision on the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine: the use of emerging data to inform global policy on the first malaria vaccine

The World Health Organization (WHO)-coordinated Malaria Vaccine Implementation Programme (MVIP) supported pilot introductions of the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine by the ministries of health through the childhood immunization programmes in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi from 2019 through 2...

Multisensory Environments and College Students’ Perceived Stress, Anxiety, and Environmental Restorativeness

Multisensory environments (MSEs) have been incorporated on college campuses to support student wellbeing, yet limited research has examined which sensory features are most effective for undergraduate students. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of a multisensory...

Evaluation of Corrosion Progression in X210Cr12 Tool Steel in a Marine-like Chloride Environment Using SEM/EDS and PCA Techniques

Corrosion of high-chromium tool steels in marine environments is a major concern for structural materials, as chloride-rich conditions accelerate material degradation and reduce service life. The corrosion process involves complex interactions among passive film degradation, loca...

Inverse Pickering Emulsion Polymerization of Water-Soluble Monomers: Toward Hydrophilic Microspheres with Tunable Morphology

Abstract The growing demand for efficient recovery of metal ions from secondary aqueous resources requires high-performance hydrophilic adsorbents. Here, Pickering emulsion polymerization technology is extended to inverse water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions, enabling the surfactant-free...

Post Disbursement Coverage Appraisal

To align health benefit package design with post-disbursement, this framework pools payer, provider, and consumer records at the episode-of-care level, generating structured evidence for benefit package revision cycles. It unifies four elements into one architecture: episode of c...

Artian Monitored-Recurrence Reference-Switch Laboratory Protocol: A Preregistered, Activation-Gated A1 Test with First-Detection Resonances

A sealed phase-root test for two time-reference classes Version 2.03 of this preregistration asks one narrow experimental question: after the same monitored quantum system has passed through two physically qualified reference classes, does the location of a first-detection recurr...

Cultural sustainability through kinship networks: A quantitative analysis of marriage strategies in Qing China’s literary lineages (1644–1911)

This study examines how marriage-network position was associated with recorded literary visibility among Qing literary families. Using Xu Yanping’s Genealogical Networks of Literary Lineages in the Qing Dynasty (2010), we reconstructed a reproducible surname–location-level marria...

All Together Now: Complementary Community Roles in Language Creation

The emergence of new languages offers a rare opportunity to observe how linguistic structure arises and evolves. We examine language creation through a developmental lens, focusing on how individuals at different life stages engage in complementary processes of invention, stabili...

Conservation Messages as Catalysts of Post-Visit Action: Insights from Zoo and Aquarium Visitors

Zoos and aquariums face an urgent challenge to convey conservation messages that motivate visitors to change their environmental behavior. This study explores the reflections of 768 visitors to one of twelve zoos and aquariums in Australia, USA, and Canada regarding the features...

Clinical Implications of Preoperative Thoracic Spine Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Percutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Procedures: A Large Retrospective Cohort Study

ABSTRACT Introduction Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective method for pain relief in patients with Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome (PSPS) type II. International guidelines recommend preoperative imaging to assess spinal anatomy for placement of thoracic SCS leads. This s...

Development of A Composite Sustainability Index Within An Integrated Coastal Zone Management Framework: A Case Study of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Coastal regions are increasingly under compounded pressures from climate change and rapid socioeconomic development, and integrated approaches to sustainability assessment are needed. This study assesses coastal sustainability in Ho Chi Minh City by developing a composite sustain...

Critical windows: timing of child maltreatment exposure and adult mental health

Abstract Background Despite being recognized as the leading risk factor for mental disorders, child maltreatment (CM) remains insufficiently understood regarding type and timing of exposure. This study examines which developmental periods of exposure to CM subtypes are most stron...

Effects of neurokinin receptor antagonists on sleep disturbance in menopausal women: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Importance: Sleep disturbance is a common and burdensome symptom among perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS). Although neurokinin (NK) receptor antagonists have demonstrated efficacy for reducing VMS, their effects on sleep distu...

Gradual Concentration‐Regulated Entanglement Enables Tough and Strong Sustainable Bioplastics

ABSTRACT Regulating polymer‐chain entanglement provides a powerful route to high‐performance sustainable bioplastics. However, achieving dense entanglement in ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polymers remains difficult because long chain lengths and strong intramolecular interactions s...
