Identifying Contextual Factors affecting Hospital In Home Program Implementation within the Veterans Health Administration

Abstract Background and Objectives Understanding the factors that enable or hinder successful implementation is essential for improving patient outcomes. Hospital in Home (HiH) programs provide hospital-level care in patients' homes to reduce hospitalization, enhance satisfaction...

Magnetically Driven Photo‐Microswarms Enable Efficient Polypropylene Fiber Fragmentation and Sterilization

ABSTRACT The extensive utilization and inadequate handling of personal protective equipment waste have emerged as important contributors to microplastic contamination worldwide. Consequently, there is a growing demand for advanced and efficient remediation technologies. This stud...

Intraprocedural Tail-First Pulmonary Artery Migration of a Leadless Pacemaker: A Protective Sleeve–Assisted Helix-Side Retrieval Strategy: a case report

Abstract Background Leadless pacemaker migration into the pulmonary artery is an exceptionally rare but potentially serious complication. Tail-first (proximal helix–oriented) migration poses additional risk, as traction on the exposed helix may cause vascular injury. Case summary...

The golden thread of AI subalternity: epistemic activism

Abstract There is a rising tide of initiatives countering predominant AI practices and narratives. The social and environmental consequences of AI-dedicated data centres; the death, injury and human displacement involving AI-enabled lethal autonomous weapons; and the corrosion of...

From Biophilia to Stewardship: Human Wellbeing and Wetland Conservation Through Meaningful Human–Waterfowl Interactions

Human–animal interactions have been associated with numerous benefits for human wellbeing, yet their potential contributions to conservation have received comparatively little theoretical attention. The biophilia hypothesis proposes that humans possess an innate tendency to affil...

A High-Power Polarization-Reconfigurable Monostatic Waveguide Transceiver System

This paper proposes a monostatic transceiver system based on a pure waveguide structure. The designed beamforming network (BFN) and polarization direction regulators enable the system to use the same waveguide path and antenna for both transmission and reception. Furthermore, the...

Contrasting Resilience Diagnostics in Route-Preserving Multimodal Transit Hypergraphs

Most multimodal transit studies use pairwise or multilayer graphs that discard route membership. We construct route-preserving bus–metro hypergraphs for 45 Chinese cities. A route-support rule makes node viability depend on the fraction of incident routes that remain viable. Tran...

Dimensionality reduction and metabolite panel derivation in urinary metabolomics based on Random Forest with Gini index feature selection

Abstract Untargeted urinary metabolomics represents a promising approach for investigating metabolic alterations associated with oncogenic processes such as breast cancer (BC). However, the stable selection of informative m/z features remains a central challenge in biomarker-orie...

Regional Correlates of Real Agricultural Output in Kazakhstan: Panel Evidence

This study examines regional correlates of real agricultural output in Kazakhstan using a harmonized panel of 14 agricultural regional units observed from 2016 to 2025. To distinguish production-volume changes from nominal price movements, the main dependent variable is a chain-l...

Improving Backscatter-Based Surface Water Classification in Arid Environments Through Interferometric Coherence

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) backscatter serves as a key tool for tracking surface water dynamics; however, single-source data dependencies introduce systematic bias tied to the specific physical limitations of the signal. A primary challenge in SAR analysis is the backscatter...

CRISPR /Cas9‐Mediated Knockout of LbSP1 and LbSP5G1 Reveals Efficient Customization of Shoot Architecture in Black Goji Berry

ABSTRACT Goji is recognized as a nutritionally rich superfruit with medicinal and industrial importance. However, its inherently indeterminate growth habit causes asynchronous flowering and uneven fruit ripening, resulting in harvesting inefficiency with high labour costs and low...

School staff experiences and perceptions of roles, responsibilities, skills and training of teaching assistants supporting students with disabilities in Australian schools: A systematic review

Abstract The first systematic review exploring the work of teaching assistants (TAs) in Australian schools was undertaken to examine school staff perceptions and experiences of the roles, responsibilities, skills, training and training needs of TAs supporting students with disabi...

Detection of Terbufos (Organophosphate) Intoxication in Necrophagous Larvae Using Biospectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) with Multivariate Selection Algorithms

Abstract Entomotoxicology studies the effect and detection of different xenobiotics in scavenger insects, aiding in the correct estimation of the interval and cause of death. Terbufos (organophosphate) stands out in the forensic field for its association with intoxication cases....

A Nexus Between Online Shoppers’ Confusion and Shopping Cart Abandonment: A Moderated-mediation Approach

This study intends to investigate how online shoppers’ confusion influences consumers’ decisions to abandon their shopping carts in online retailing, based on the ‘Approach–avoidance motivation theory’. This research also aims to investigate the moderating role of negative consum...

Overcoming the Barriers in Online Foreign Language Speaking Classes: The Role of Technology on Speaking Anxiety and Foreign Language Learning Enjoyment

This study examines the impact of technology-based course design in online speaking classes on students’ Foreign Language Enjoyment and Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study employed a single-group pre-test-post-test experimental design and...

Had They Lived in Another Society: Numbers Gambling, Race, and the Reproduction of Vulnerability in Urban Life

This essay traces the debate among Black intellectuals and artists over the role of numbers gambling within Black public life. Over the course of the Twentieth Century an array of Black intellectuals grappled with the dual nature of the numbers game as both a vulnerability prompt...

Beyond aesthetics: Instagram interaction, positive emotions and psychological ownership in sustainable fashion consumption

Purpose Based on the lens of Stimulus–Organism–Response (SOR) framework, this study examines how Instagram stimuli, namely perceived post quality (PPQ) and user-to-user interaction (UTU), influence intention to purchase (ITP) and intention to recommend (ITR) sustainable fashion b...

Hydrogeophysical Characterization to Inform Future Mine Dewatering Strategies: Case Study of the Beni Amir Phosphate Deposit, Morocco

Groundwater management presents a challenge for open-cast phosphate mining within the Beni Amir deposit, Oulad Abdoun Basin, Morocco, where future mining operations are progressively reaching deeper saturated phosphate layers. This study integrates six Electrical Resistivity Tomo...

Safety and Performance of the Colovac Anastomosis Protection Device. A Pooled Analysis of Prospective Studies Compared With Diverting Loop Ileostomy (SAFE-2025)

Objective: To compare the safety and effectiveness of the Colovac Anastomosis Protection Device with standard diverting ostomy (DO) following low anterior resection (LAR) for rectal cancer. Summary Background Data: DO is standard of care (SOC) following LAR for rectal cancer but...

Coordinated shifts in gene expression and regulation identify fast evolving loci linked to unique mole-rat traits

Abstract Background Changes in gene expression regulation are central to the acquisition of novel phenotypes during mammalian evolution. However, transcriptomes substantially accumulate neutral divergence over evolutionary time. As a result, selection-driven gene expression shift...
