Asymmetric transmission of oil shocks and geopolitical risk to inflation in an energy-importing economy: multi-threshold evidence from Morocco

This study examines the effects of oil price shocks and geopolitical risk on inflation in Morocco, an energy-importing economy operating under a managed-float exchange-rate regime. Using monthly data from June 2007 to December 2025, the analysis employs a multiple-threshold nonli...

Pan-immune-inflammation Value as a Potential Inflammatory Marker in Autism Spectrum Disorder

Objective: Neuroinflammation and immune dysregulation are implicated in the etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).This study investigated the relationship between inflammatory markers-pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-t...

Experimental investigation on the seismic behavior of corroded liquid-filled steel storage tanks retrofitted with friction pendulum base isolation systems

Steel storage tanks operating in corrosive environments become increasingly vulnerable to earthquake-induced damage due to corrosion-induced deterioration. This study experimentally investigates the structural and seismic behavior of hydrochloric acid-corroded liquid-filled steel...

Between chalk and change: How teacher leadership agency is exercised and sustained in professional learning

This study examines how teacher leaders, a critical yet undertheorised form of mid-level educational leadership in Vietnam, exercise and sustain their leadership agency in mentoring and supporting colleagues' professional learning. Informed by the ecological model of agency and a...

Clindamycin under pressure: resistance in hospitalized patients with odontogenic infections and a penicillin allergy label – a multicenter retrospective study

Odontogenic infections may progress to deep space infection with systemic complications and require prompt surgical drainage and, when indicated, systemic antibiotics. In patients with a documented penicillin allergy label, empiric therapy is often shifted toward clindamycin, alt...

Cascaded machine learning-based neural Model Predictive Control for real-time thermal management of a sCO2 serial coaxial all-glass evacuated solar collector

There is a growing imperative for real-time thermal energy management in solar collectors to ensure system stability and facilitate integration with advanced technologies, such as Carnot batteries. To address this need, the present study proposes a Cascading Feedforward Neural Ne...

Utility of consolidation-to-tumor ratio and solid component size for risk stratification of occult lymph node metastasis in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma: a retrospective cohort study

The optimal cutoff values for consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR) and solid component size in relation to nodal metastasis vary among study populations, and their combined use for preoperative occult lymph node metastasis (OLNM) risk stratification has not been well established. T...

Effective power and energy utilization analysis of a dual-motor electric tractor under battery current limitations

This study evaluated the effective power and energy utilization characteristics of a dual-motor electric tractor under simultaneous power take-off (PTO) and traction operating conditions. Experimental measurements were conducted using Organization for Economic Cooperation and Dev...

Nutritional and Functional Potential of Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) By-products: Compositional, Color and Antioxidant Analysis of Leaves, Pericarp, Seeds and Pulp

Garcinia mangostana L. is a tropical fruit widely recognized for its nutritional and functional properties; however, the compositional characteristics of its different anatomical parts remain insufficiently explored. This study evaluated the proximate composition, mineral content...

Decomposition of the systemic immune-inflammation index reveals neutrophil- and lymphocyte-driven, non-linear risk of progression from mild cognitive impairment to dementia

The progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia represents a critical intervention window. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) integrates neutrophil, platelet, and lymphocyte counts and has been proposed as an accessible marker of this progression. Becau...

The Casa del Fauno in Pompeii: Archaeometric investigation of ancient mortars as an attempt to clarify the architectural phases

The compositional study of the ancient mortars, carried out through macroscopic observations, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmitted polarized light optical microscopy (OM), combined with multivariate statistical analysis (PCA), has provided important new insights into the proc...

Stability assessment of abandoned salt caverns for compressed air energy storage – a study based on true triaxial mechanical test

The utilization of abandoned salt rock caverns for energy storage has emerged as a novel and promising approach. Relying on a CAES project in salt rock in Feicheng, Shandong Province, a series of true triaxial mechanical experiments were carried out on overburden, reservoir and i...

Pore-scale transport and adsorption behavior of Mn(II) in CT-reconstructed adsorptive permeable filling materials for mine water pollution control

Constructing underground reservoirs in coal mine goafs can effectively mitigate surface subsidence and facilitate large-scale utilization and purification of mine water. However, seepage characteristics within backfill bodies and the migration–adsorption behavior of Mn 2+ remain...

Contrasting effects of ammonium and nitrate addition on soil organic carbon in Zoige Plateau peatland

Peatland soils, typically nitrogen (N)-limited, are important carbon (C) reservoirs and may be significantly affected by N deposition. Nitrate (NO 3 − -N) and ammonium (NH 4 + -N) are the primary forms of N deposition, with substantial spatial variability. However, how these N fo...

Physical therapy care utilization and associated sociodemographic and clinical factors among noncommunicable diseases in the brazilian population: A cross-sectional, population-based study

INTRODUCTION: Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are currently the leading cause of disability worldwide. In Brazil, NCDs are among the top 10 causes of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). A better understanding of the profiles of patients who frequently use physical therapy is...

Template and co-precipitation routed NiMn2O4 microfiber for aqueous hybrid supercapacitor

Manganese-based transition metal oxides have attracted considerable attention in the field of electrochemical energy storage owing to their natural abundance, environmental compatibility, rich redox chemistry, and outstanding electrochemical performance. However, there is still a...
