Comparing Human‐Created and NotebookLM‐Generated Podcasts for EAP Instruction: Differences in Linguistic Complexity and the Role of Prompt Design

ABSTRACT Science popularization podcasts are valuable resources for EAP instruction because they make academic content more accessible to learners. However, producing high‐quality podcasts is time‐consuming and resource‐intensive, and existing resources may not always align with...

Integrated Thermal Noise Analysis of Ferroelectric-Doped Dual-Metal-Gate GaN HEMTs for High-Frequency Low-Noise Systems

Abstract Accurate noise prediction is essential for reliable high-frequency semiconductor device design. This work presents an integrated analytical framework for evaluating thermal noise in a ferroelectric (Fe)-doped, dual-metal-gate (DMG) AlN/AlGaN/GaN HEMT, based on the Cappy...

Aniconism in Early Islamic Culture: A Socio-Theological Reading of Ring Engravings

This article offers a thematic classification of traditions attributed to the Companions (ṣaḥāba), the Successors (tābiʿūn), and early Islamic scholars and rulers concerning ring engravings, situating these inscriptions within the framework of aniconism in early Islamic culture....

Structural inhomogeneity and inter-chromophore electronic/protein-mediated coupling in the Gloeobacter rhodopsin–canthaxanthin complex: Insights from resonance Raman spectroscopy

Microbial rhodopsins are photoreceptive membrane proteins that utilize retinal as a chromophore to absorb light and drive diverse photochemical functions. Recent studies have revealed that some microbial rhodopsins bind carotenoids in addition to retinal. The bound carotenoids ma...

Humanity, Nature, and Survival in Yann Martel’s Life of Pi and Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake: An Ecocritical Comparative Study

Addressing the growing global urgency of environmental crises in contemporary Anglophone literature, this study examines the relationship between humanity, nature, and survival in Yann Martel’s Life of Pi and Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake through an ecocritical Anthropocene fr...

In vivo adaptive optics retinal imaging reveals rod-mediated cone photoreceptor disorganization in RHO-associated retinitis pigmentosa

Abstract Pathogenic variants in the rhodopsin ( RHO ) gene are the most common cause of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa leading to photoreceptor degeneration. Quantitative imaging using adaptive optics (AO) revealed irregularities in cone organization, even in relatively...

All shook up, but nothing changes – conflict, multifunctionality and reprogramming failure in public organisations

Purpose This article addresses a persistent tension in public-sector organisations. Communicative reforms proliferate, conflict becomes more visible and participation expands, yet core decision programmes frequently remain stable. The study asks why conflict rarely culminates in...

Maternal Loneliness and Technoference During Early Childhood: The Mediating Roles of Nomophobia and Social Media Addiction

Maternal technoference has increasingly been recognized as a factor that may compromise mothers’ emotional availability and the quality of mother–child interactions, particularly during early childhood, when responsive caregiving and co-regulation play a pivotal role in children’...

Uridine mitigated Listeria monocytogenes infection in mice by improving gut microbiota and protecting the intestinal barrier

Abstract This study investigated the protective effects of uridine against Listeria monocytogenes infection in mice and explored the underlying mechanisms. Uridine markedly suppressed pathogen loads in the liver and spleen, mitigating infection-induced pathological damage. In ter...

Quality of Life of Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer at Gustave Roussy Institute: The Role of Management in Enhancing Care and Ensuring Performance

The Gustave Roussy Institute (IGR) is considered the leading cancer center in Europe. Since 2012, a multidisciplinary team dedicated to adolescents and young adults (AYAs)—known as SPIAJA—has been developing a comprehensive care model for patients in this age group treated at the...

Blockchain fog attention framework for collusion detection and automated accountability in internet of things networks

Fog–edge Internet of Things (IoT) systems support low-latency distributed services but remain vulnerable to coordinated attacks that evade detectors designed for independent events. Existing solutions also tend to separate attack detection, provenance verification, and accountabi...

Health Care Leaders’ Views About Remotely Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy–Based Services for High-Impact Chronic Pain

Chronic musculoskeletal pain remains a vexing clinical challenge, and health care systems have struggled to identify effective, scalable, and safe treatment alternatives to opioids and other higher-risk interventions. Remotely delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic pa...

Quadriceps Tendon Autograft Harvest Technique Affects Both Graft Strength and Cross-sectional Area

Background: Bone–patellar tendon–bone (BTB) autografts have been considered the gold standard for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, although the popularity of quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts is increasing. Hypothesis/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare th...

Forward evaluation and inverse design of spiral-type TMF contacts considering geometric effects based on deep operator networks

The design of spiral-type vacuum interrupter contacts demands balancing geometric and material parameters, yet traditional numerical methods are computationally prohibitive for high-throughput optimization. This study proposes the Geometry-Material-Arc Deep Operator Network frame...

Structure-guided targeting of the LAT1-4F2hc amino acid transporter in cancer and brain disorders

Abstract The heterodimeric amino acid transporter L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1)-4F2hc (SLC7A5-SLC3A2) is a key regulator of large neutral amino acid exchange, linking extracellular nutrient availability to intracellular growth signaling. It is physiologically enriched at...

Artificial Intelligence Governance and Sustainable Industrial Transformation in the Era of Industry 5.0

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, big data analytics, and intelligent industrial systems has accelerated global industrial transformation. While Industry 4.0 emphasised automation and efficiency, concerns regarding inequality, labour displacement, cyb...

Hospital Length of Stay and Associated Factors in Patients with Oral Cavity Cancer in Germany: A Retrospective Multicenter Analysis of Inpatient Administrative Data

Background: Oral cavity cancer is a clinically relevant subgroup of head and neck malignancies and is associated with substantial treatment burden and healthcare utilization. Hospital length of stay (LOS) is an important indicator of inpatient resource use and complexity of care,...

A Comparison of Tardive Dyskinesia With First- and Second-Generation Antipsychotics in Postmarket Surveillance Data

Introduction: Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a known adverse drug reaction (ADR) of first-generation and second-generation antipsychotics. While second-generation antipsychotics are believed to pose a lower TD risk, evidence remains mixed. This study compares TD risk between first- a...
