Examining the Relationship Between Primary School Teachers’ Number Sense and Mathematical Problem Solving Beliefs

The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between primary school teachers' number sense and their beliefs about mathematical problem solving. A correlational survey model method was used in the study. The sample for this study consists of 200 primary scholl teachers...

How well can off-the-shelf LLMs elucidate molecular structures from mass spectra using chain-of-thought reasoning?

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique for identifying small molecules, yet determining complete molecular structures directly from tandem mass spectra (MS/MS) remains a long-standing challenge due to complex fragmentation patterns and the vast diversity of che...

Expression of concern: Lightweight bolt state detection based on a dynamic weighted loss function

The publisher is issuing an Expression of Concern for the following article, Zhang Q. and Li W. (2026), “Lightweight bolt state detection based on a dynamic weighted loss function”. International Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications, Vol. ahead-of-print No. ahead-of-...

Thinking with AI

This article introduces the Thinking with AI framework, a four-phase model for developing artificial intelligence (AI) literacy in undergraduate education. The framework organizes student engagement with generative AI across a continuum: Passive Thinking, in which AI functions as...

Causal Sufficiency and Structural Vulnerability: Rethinking Responsibility in Generative Relational Systems — A Preliminary Position Paper on the Foundations of Structural Attribution

Two companion papers establish that in one class of injury the classical apparatus of causal attribution fails, and that the failure is of two kinds, one of resources and one of what a determinate contribution would require of any tribunal. Where causal sufficiency is unattainabl...

Anorectal Malformations

Key Points Anorectal malformations (ARMs) encompass a broad range of anatomical conditions in which a normal anal opening is absent and the colon empties anteriorly via an abnormal fistulous connection to other pelvic organs or the perineum.Children should be diagnosed shortly af...

Revisiting the wetland wise use concept after 50 years – ‘flogging a dead horse’ or ‘‘dusting the golden vase’

Abstract Introduced in the text of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands over five decades ago, the wetland wise use concept was a unique recognition of human-nature connectedness and a genuine precursor to sustainable development. Yet, the use of the term has been inconsistent withi...

Psychological Well-Being, Activity Satisfaction, and Perceived Social Support Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Intergenerational Participation: An 18-Month Longitudinal Study

Using an observational longitudinal design, this study examined psychological well-being, activity satisfaction, and perceived social support among 91 middle-aged and older adults participating in community-based intergenerational activities in Taiwan. Across eight waves over 18...

Red Blood Cell Distribution Width Is Associated With Functional Outcomes Following Surgery for Hip Fracture

BACKGROUND: Elevated red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is increasingly found to be associated with adverse health outcomes in older adults. We leveraged a randomized clinical trial that was investigating responses to supervised exercise (EX) with or without a topical testos...

Entropy‐Engineered Prussian Blue Nanocubes Decouple Kinetic Bottlenecks for Selective Nitrate‐to‐Ammonia Conversion in Neutral Media

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction (NO 3 RR) in neutral media offers a sustainable route for decentralized ammonia synthesis, yet remains hindered by sluggish proton‐coupled electron transfer (PCET) and severe *NO 2 − poisoning. In unbuffered media, low proton availability disrup...

Switchable 2 e − /4 e − ORR Pathway Directed by Spin‐State Engineering for High‐Rate H 2 O 2 Production

ABSTRACT Precise control of the 2 e − /4 e − oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) pathway is essential for directing H 2 O 2 production toward high efficiency and scalability. However, rational regulation of the active site's electronic spin‐states to dictate selectivity remains a fun...

A proposed model for predicting the intention to use the metaverse in computer programming education

Abstract The advent of new technologies has significantly increased digitalization in education by accelerating the shift to digital products and tools. In particular, notable innovations in artificial intelligence and Metaverse technologies hold promising potential to transform...

Hydroxyl Radical Formation: A Key Mechanism and Regulatory Target in Monascin Photo-Degradation

Monascin, a yellow azaphilone pigment derived from Monascus fermentation, undergoes significant photo-degradation that limits its applications. This study reveals that free radical formation, particularly hydroxyl radicals (·OH) generated via H2O2 photolysis, is the primary mecha...

The Right to Think as the Foundation of the New Human Rights

In 2020, Jean-Pol Martin proposed a re-foundation and reformulation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Instead of deriving human rights from metaphysics, religion, natural law, or idealistic philosophical anthropology, the model grounds them exclusively in observable h...

Patient Robot Advocacy: A Phase 1, First-in-Human, PDAC Clinical Trial Protocol of a LLM-Directed Robotic Whipple with Daraxonrasib (RMC-6236)

The parent clinical protocol opens with a Statement of Compliance addressed to the Food and Drug Administration, the Institutional Review Board, and the sponsor. That statement is necessary, it is correct, and it is not addressed to the person whose abdomen will be opened. It tel...

Adolescents’ Emotional Intelligence and Self-Perception in the Context of Social Media Use

This study examined the relationships between perceived emotional intelligence (EI), self-esteem, self-concept, and social media use in a sample of 173 Argentinian adolescents (mean age 16.6). Using the TMMS to assess three EI dimensions (attention, clarity, and mood repair) alon...

Associations Between Demographic Characteristics, and Diabetes‐Related Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices and Clinical Parameters in People With Diabetes Attending Eye Clinics in Trinidad and Tobago: A Cross‐Sectional Study

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Diabetes‐related knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) and associated clinical outcomes, including diabetic retinopathy (DR), have not been adequately examined across patient demographics in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T), which this study examined...

Density Clustering Matrix: Standard Matrix as the δ-Aligned Subspace Special Case

Field Domain Mathematics posits that numbers are density clusterings in space. This paper defines the Density Clustering Matrix with elements as density clustering points, addition as Merge and multiplication as Resonance. Key finding: standard matrix is an exact special case on...
