Sociodemographic Factors and Land Use Shape Perceptions of Ecosystem Services in Reservoirs of Semiarid Regions

Abstract Community perceptions of ecosystem services are shaped by individuals’ local contexts and their direct interactions with the environment. Examining these relationships enables a better understanding of how human perceptions of ecosystem services are associated with anthr...

A comparative study of hybrid approaches for diabetic retinopathy severity grading

Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a progressive ocular complication of diabetes and is commonly graded into five severity levels, ranging from no DR to proliferative DR. Automated severity grading is challenging because the classes are imbalanced and misclassification between...

A dialogue on Open Research and qualitative scholarship in SLA

Abstract This critical dialogue examines how Open Research (OR) principles intersect with qualitative epistemologies in second language acquisition. Drawing on our distinct positionalities—Author 1 as a quantitatively trained psycholinguist and Author 2 as a qualitative critical...

Disease-specific intrinsic frequency alterations in electroencephalographic signals of Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, and Parkinson’s disease

Matlab functions and sample scripts for dynamic mode decomposition (DMD), including the calculation and classification of spatial dynamic mode (sDM) and temporal frequency dynamic mode (tfDM) features.

Characterization of Orbits in Bars in Disc Galaxies Using Fourier Frequencies

Abstract Bars are among the most prominent dynamical structures in disc galaxies, yet their long-term evolution and the orbital families that sustain them remain only partially understood. In this work, we introduce a new methodology based on frozen potentials combined with Fouri...

A fairness audit of the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method: format-specific and gender-differential bias, with an interpretable calibration layer for cricket target revision

Abstract The Duckworth–Lewis–Stern (DLS) method has set revised targets in rain-interrupted limited-overs cricket since 1999, yet no large-scale empirical audit of its prediction bias has been published. Using ball-by-ball data for 8,150 international matches from Cricsheet, we a...

Cooperation in binary mixtures of active colloids

The complex interactions underlying collective motion in biological systems give rise to emergent behaviors such as flocking, sorting, and cooperative transport. These dynamics often involve species with different motilities coordinating movement to optimize navigation and surviv...

Selection and screening in cyber insurance markets

Abstract This paper studies how information frictions shape demand, screening, and contract design in the U.S. cyber insurance market. I develop a framework in which firms sort into coverage based on latent cyber risk while insurers screen using coarse signals and manage residual...

Strategic Innovation in the Bakery Industry Through Underutilized Bioresources: A Narrative Review of Nutritional Enhancement, Circular Economy Approaches, Consumer Acceptance, and Industry 4.0 Technologies

The bakery industry is undergoing paradigm shifts due to increased customer demand for healthy foods, sustainable manufacturing techniques and innovations. At the same time, growing concerns about food waste, environmental harm and the depletion of natural resources are driving i...

High diversity but limited expression of biosynthetic gene clusters in a peatland microbial community

Abstract The in situ relevance of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) remains poorly understood. We apply meta-omics to characterize BGC diversity and activity along a peatland redox gradient. From seven metagenomes, we recover 9,694 BGCs, spanning diverse taxa, most lacking close...

MAIA frailty subgroup analysis: long-term follow-up with daratumumab plus lenalidomide/dexamethasone in transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed myeloma

Abstract In MAIA (Daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone versus lenalidomide and dexamethasone alone in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma), daratumumab plus lenalidomide/dexamethasone (D-Rd) improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) versus Rd in tran...

The Korean ‘Minbak’ as an environmental bubble: motivations, experiences, and the paradox of cultural immersion among Korean travellers

This study examines Korean travellers’ use of Minbaks (Korean guesthouses) in Europe, introducing the ‘pulsating bubble’ framework that challenges static conceptualisations of environmental enclaves. Through netnography of 192 Korean travel blogs (2023–2025), we demonstrate that...

Benefits and Harms of Herbal Medicines for Preventing and Treating Acute Respiratory Infections: An Overview of Systematic Reviews

ABSTRACT Hundreds of herbal medicines are currently marketed for the management of acute respiratory infections (ARIs). However, there is uncertainty about their benefits and harms, and clinical guidance remains unclear. Our objective was to evaluate the benefits and harms of her...

Global Perspectives on Medical Cannabis Products: Knowledge, Attitudes, Clinical Use, and Safety Perceptions Among Healthcare Professionals and Patients

Introduction. Medical cannabis and cannabinoid-based medicinal products (CBMPs) are increasingly considered in managing chronic pain, neurological disorders, epilepsy, oncology-related symptoms, and palliative care. However, their safe clinical integration is influenced by health...

Integrating K-means clustering with entropy-weighted TOPSIS for large-scale multi-criteria decision making

Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods like Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) consider all the alternatives at once, which can be computationally expensive and confusing as the problem size increases to hundreds or even thousands of...

Closing Data Gaps in Regional Glacier Trends of the Wind River Range, Wyoming, USA

Glaciers in Wind River Range, Wyoming, have experienced substantial reductions in surface area and volume in recent decades, yet existing inventories contain temporal gaps and often mix glaciers with seasonal snowpack. We mapped and classified glacier outlines using high-resoluti...

High-density optical quantum sensors with pulsed probe read-out for correlated spin-noise reduction

Abstract Optical quantum sensors based on alkali-metal atoms enable highly sensitive magnetic-field measurements in warm vapor. Their performance can become limited by intrinsic spin noise once technical noise sources are sufficiently suppressed. Characterizing temporal spin corr...

Lung Function–Associated Genetic Variants and Overall Survival in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Multi-Platform Analysis

Abstract Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous variants associated with spirometric lung function, and Mendelian randomization studies suggest that impaired pulmonary function contributes to lung cancer susceptibility. Whether these variants...

Beyond Legal Recognition: Parental Acceptance and Couple-Level Minority Stress on Same-Sex Couples’ Well-Being in Chinese Societies

Abstract Previous studies in the Global North suggest that same-sex marriage brings positive impacts on the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and plus (LGBQ+) individuals. Parental acceptance is challenging yet important for LGBQ+ individuals, especially in Chinese soc...
