Mechanical behavior and fracture mechanisms of rock-backfill composites under different hole geometries and backfill conditions

Abstract Rock-backfill composites, as key load-bearing structures in deep mining, exhibit mechanical behavior and failure mechanisms that are predominantly controlled by excavation-induced hole geometry and backfill conditions. In this work, a series of uniaxial compression tests...

Measuring BIM readiness and digitalisation in building permitting: a KPI-based framework

Purpose Digital building permitting (DBP) is increasingly promoted as a key instrument for improving efficiency, transparency and interoperability in public administration. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is cited as a central enabler of this transition. However, existing re...

The visibility–protection gap in enterprise resource planning governance: shadow systems and information quality degradation

Purpose This article examines the governance conditions under which operational knowledge migrates from a mandated enterprise resource planning system into operationally trusted parallel records, developing the Visibility–Protection Gap as a governance configuration. Design/metho...

Catalytic systems for dewaxing diesel fractions

The article discusses modern molecular sieves with different structures that can be used in the processes of dewaxing straight-run diesel fractions. The existing problem is the need to create a catalyst for the isomerization of n-paraffins, capable of ensuring the highest possibl...

Business in Acute Crisis: A Humanitarian Impact Value Chain for Assessing Cross-Sector Partnerships

Abstract Business–humanitarian partnerships are increasingly mobilised to respond to acute crises, yet in these extreme contexts even well-intentioned collaborations can harm crisis-affected populations and distort humanitarian action. In such settings, generic, outcome-focussed...

Effects of variable incubation temperature during embryonic days 10–13 on leg muscle transcriptomics in day-old broiler and layer chicks

Abstract In chickens, secondary myogenesis occurs during embryonic days (ED) 10–13, which is a critical developmental window sensitive to incubation temperature as a key environmental factor. This study investigates transcriptional profiles in leg muscle of broiler (Ross 308; Ros...

Interventional tracheoscopy for management of intratracheal plasmacytoma in a dog

Abstract Intraoperative haemorrhage during interventional tracheoscopy for intratracheal masses can pose a life-threatening challenge. This report emphasizes the technical management of severe bleeding during endoscopic excision of a rare tracheal plasmacytoma in a dog, highlight...

Clinical and Environmental Reservoirs of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Rural Tanzania: Implications for Diagnostics and Antimicrobial Stewardship

Purpose: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is making urinary tract infections (UTIs) and surgical site infections (SSIs) increasingly difficult to treat, especially in low-resource settings where self-medication and limited laboratory services are common. This study explored knowled...

Integrated waterflooding management system based on optimizing well operation through underground reservoirs

The article addresses the problem of water-cut management in the producing well stock of the Astrakhan gas condensate field (AGCF) under conditions of increasing water and gas factor (WGF), limited capacity for handling produced water, and the need to maintain commercial producti...

Masculinity-Informed Therapeutic Discussions: Strengthening Father Engagement and Family Mental Health Systems

OBJECTIVE: Men underuse mental health services in part because of masculine norms. Few interventions focus on masculinity in therapeutic contexts, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This study analyzed transcripts from masculinity-focused therapeutic sessions with fa...

County-level shelter outcome profiles and length of stay among rescued stray and lost dogs in three rural counties of Korea

This study compared the county-level shelter outcome profiles and length of stay among rescued stray and lost dogs in three rural counties of northern Gyeongsangbuk-do, Republic of Korea: Yeongyang-gun, Cheongsong-gun, and Yeongdeok-gun. Administrative individual-case records col...

Investigating patients’ experiences with dyspnea associated with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) and cognitive debriefing of the FACIT-Dyspnea 10-item short form: a qualitative patient interview study

Abstract Background Dyspnea is a prominent symptom in patients with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA), yet its lived experience remain under-researched. Although clinically relevant, dyspnea is not routinely assessed in wAIHA trials, and no validated patient-reported outco...

Network analysis of smartphone addiction, attentional control, and learning adaptation among nursing undergraduates

In the digital learning environment, learning adaptation and attentional control have been shown to be important factors associated with academic success among nursing undergraduates. Smartphone addiction has been associated with impaired attentional control and poorer learning o...

Consumer Perceptions and Behaviors Toward Fermented Foods: Insights From a Canadian Survey

ABSTRACT Chronic and autoimmune diseases continue to rise across Canada, demonstrating the need for sustainable dietary strategies that promote long‐term health. Fermented foods (FFs) have emerged as a potential approach, yet national data on consumption patterns and public perce...

Violence Against Feminist Advocates: Political Violence and Anti-Gender Politics

Research on violence against women in politics (VAWIP) and research on violence against women activists have made crucial contributions by conceptualizing violence as a gendered phenomenon that targets women in response to their political participation. In these approaches, viole...
