Disuse enhances cancellous and cortical bone responses to mechanical loading by altering lacunocanalicular fluid dynamics

Disuse conditions, such as microgravity, prolonged bed rest, sedentary lifestyle, and limb immobilization, frequently affect human skeletal responses to mechanical loading. However, the precise impact of disuse on bone adaptation to mechanical loading and its underlying mechanobi...

Checkers 'n' rainbows : an arts-based narrative inquiry of children's musicking, belonging, and the science of 'occupation'

My doctoral research was an arts-based narrative inquiry of musicking and belonging for children and youth, and families of immigrant backgrounds, through the disciplinary lens of occupational science. Conducted at an afterschool music program during the gradual lifting of COVID-...

Machine learning–guided identification of determinants of PD-L1 expression and tumor mutational burden in lung squamous cell carcinoma

Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and tumor mutational burden (TMB) are widely used immunotherapy biomarkers, yet their variability and determinants in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) remain incompletely characterized in real-world testing settings. We analyzed a r...

Direct Regeneration of Spent LiFePO 4 Using Methionine for Defect Repair and N/S‐Doped Interface Construction

ABSTRACT The coming wave of end‐of‐life electric vehicles presents a formidable challenge for the recycling of spent Li‐ion batteries, particularly those with LiFePO 4 cathodes. The degradation of the LiFePO 4 cathode is primarily attributed to Li loss‐induced lattice defects and...

Clinical guidelines addressing complex and ‘wicked’ problems

Clinical guidelines aid decision-making, but their simplifying strength becomes a limitation in complex, value-laden situations. Once meant to summarise evidence, they now function as prescriptive standards used in quality and legal assessments. Overly rigid directives can underm...

Developing purposeful observation during early clinical exposure in anesthesiology: a cluster-randomized study

Early clinical exposure allows undergraduate medical students to encounter authentic clinical practice, but novice learners may not know what to observe or how to interpret complex clinical events. This challenge is particularly relevant in anesthesiology, where many professional...

Electoral outcomes of party families across regional development types in Europe

Abstract. The interplay between regional disparities and electoral outcomes is central to understanding political dynamics in Europe. In debates on the “geography of discontent”, radical-right party support is often linked to so-called left-behind regions. This study broadens tha...

Civil Society and the Quality of Democracy in Nigeria's Fourth Republic: A Comparative Analysis of the PDP and APC Administrations

This study examines the contribution of civil society to the quality of democracy in Nigeria's Fourth Republic through a comparative analysis of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) administration (2005–2015) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration (2015–2025). Spec...

Real-world effectiveness of a multicomponent early intervention program for first episode psychosis in Emilia Romagna (Italy): Timeliness, specificity and fairness

Background This study provides a real-world evaluation of the multicomponent Emilia-Romagna First Episode Psychosis Program (RER-FEP) (2013–2019). It assesses how timeliness, treatment specificity, and socio-demographic factors related to fairness (including citizenship) are asso...

Iron deficiency testing among people with incident heart failure in primary care

Background Given around 50% of people with heart failure have a degree of iron deficiency, guidelines recommend screening. It is uncertain to what extent this is done in primary care and whether testing is equitable. Aim To report the proportion of people with incident heart fail...

Collaboration and Co-Management Ahead of Permitting: Understanding How Actors and Their Interactions Lead to Non-Optimal Shoreline Projects

Living shorelines are widely promoted as nature-based solutions to coastal erosion and wetland protection, yet hardened shoreline structures continue to dominate even in jurisdictions with explicit policy mandates prioritizing living shorelines. In this research, we examine why n...

Assessment of the Possibility of Using Turning as a Post-Processing Method for Parts Manufactured by MEX Technology

Additive manufacturing enables rapid prototyping, the production of complex geometries, and a reduction in production costs, which contributes to its widespread use in engineering. Despite the numerous advantages of additive technologies, limitations still exist regarding the dim...

Multi‐Phase Heterostructured NiMoN Nanoflower as Bifunctional Separator Coatings for High‐Performance Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

ABSTRACT Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries are considered promising candidates for next‐generation energy storage owing to their high theoretical energy density and the abundance of sulfur. However, the practical application of Li–S systems is limited by the polysulfide shuttle eff...

Associations of dietary inflammatory index with respiratory tract infections among US adults and the mediating roles of systemic inflammation markers

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) remain a major public health burden among adults, with substantial interindividual heterogeneity in susceptibility. Chronic low-grade systemic inflammation has been proposed as an important host-related determinant of infection risk, and the di...

Efficacy evaluation of livestock-derived vermicompost in alleviating the adverse effects of drought stress on spinach growth and enhancing calcareous soil properties

Improving drought tolerance is essential to achieve high crop yields. Vermicomposting is a sustainable approach to enhance soil health, fertility, and water use efficiency, leading to higher crop yields. This study was conducted to investigate whether livestock vermicompost (V0 (...

Flat Left-Invariant Lorentzian Metrics on Almost Abelian Lie Groups

Abstract Almost abelian Lie groups are those admitting a normal subgroup which is commutative and of codimension one. We determine all Lie algebras of almost abelian Lie groups admitting a left-invariant Lorentzian metric of vanishing curvature. For each of those algebras, we com...

QAR Data-Driven Flight Anomaly Detection and Risk Warning: A Review of Statistical Learning and Machine Learning Methods in Aviation Safety

Quick Access Recorder (QAR) data provide high-dimensional onboard flight records that are increasingly used for data-driven aviation safety analysis. As flight operations become more complex, conventional manual monitoring and threshold-based exceedance detection are often insuff...

Optimized Potting Media and Vertical Farming Enhance High‐Value Crop Productivity in Riverine Lands of Bangladesh

ABSTRACT Limited cultivable land and seasonal flooding constrain vegetable production in the riverine char lands of Bangladesh, highlighting the need for efficient and climate‐resilient production systems. This study evaluated optimized potting media for seedling production and t...
