Culture and trauma-informed treatment with youth: Current practices and suggestions for adaptation from two studies

The paper examines trauma-informed interventions for externalizing behavior among culturally diverse youth via two connected studies. The first involved a Delphi study with researchers and clinicians (N = 10) who identified consensus on best practice in addressing trauma and exte...

Civil Servants and Democratic Backsliding: The Role of Managerial Signals

Abstract Political efforts to weaken democratic institutions place civil servants in a dilemma between political responsiveness and protecting democratic values. As civil servants are embedded in the political-administrative hierarchy, we argue that signals from their direct hier...

Insecure parental attachment, bullying perpetration and victimization, and social media addiction: A meta-analytic test of an interpersonal pathway

Social media addiction (SMA) has become a public health concern, yet its relationships with offline relational insecurity and bullying-related social threats remain insufficiently understood. Drawing on social compensation theory and the maladaptive schema model, the present meta...

Adult Attachment Predicts Parental Empathy: Evidence Across Four Samples of Parents of Children From Preschool Through Middle Childhood

Extensive research points to the importance of adult attachment in predicting empathy, but little research has examined the role of attachment in shaping adults’ empathy specifically for their children. This paper examines how adult attachment avoidance (discomfort with emotional...

Mitochondrial DNA mutation triggers early-onset intestinal epithelial cell dysfunction during acute colitis

Abstract Background Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations cause multisystem disorders often involving gastrointestinal dysfunction. However, the mechanisms governing the selection against mutant mtDNA and the specific impact of pathogenic mtDNA mutations on intestinal epithelial ce...

Evaluating the effectiveness of video based learning for Ansys tutorials in engineering education

The present work explores the effectiveness of video based Ansys tutorials as a complementary learning tool in undergraduate mechanical engineering education. A survey of 58 students was conducted at the University of Strathclyde across three levels of academic study. The finding...

Transparency tinkering: Working with opacities in the development of medical artificial intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly researched and applied in medicine and healthcare. The high stakes of these applications have raised a particular demand for them to be, to some degree, transparent. Yet, how AI experts consider transparency and turn it i...

Cognitive Fitness in Ageing (COFITAGE): A Multimodal and Longitudinal Neuroimaging Dataset

Purpose: Brain aging involves interrelated changes in molecular processes, neuroinflammatory mechanisms, brain macro- and microstructure, sleep physiology, and cognition. The 50 to 70 years age range represents a critical transition period, in which these subtle alterations may p...

Earth Observation for Australian Grains: A National Readiness Assessment (2026-2030)

This National Readiness Assessment examines the foundational capabilities required for Australia to operationalise trait-level Earth Observation (EO) across the grains sector by 2030. While current multispectral EO systems have delivered substantial value for vegetation monitorin...

Physics and Computation of Short-Range Fundamental Interactions: A Topological–Historical Gauge-Spectral Reconstruction of Quantum Chromodynamics, Electroweak Dynamics, Finite Particle Cores, Causal Response, and Unified Non-Lattice Computation

This monograph develops a continuous mathematical framework for the strong and electroweak short-distance sectors while keeping their distinct infrared meanings explicit. The color connection is a massless non-Abelian gauge connection at the level of the local action; observable...

Residual BiLSTM-Based Error Correction Network for Li-Ion Battery SOC Estimation

The efficient operation of lithium-ion battery management systems (BMSs) depends on accurate state-of-charge (SOC) estimation. However, the performance of conventional model-based SOC estimation methods may progressively worsen owing to parameter uncertainty and nonlinear battery...

Testing the Effectiveness of Using Psychology-Intuitive Information to Promote Responsible AI: Information About the Training Set Shapes Perceptions of AI Algorithms in an Experimental Setting

Most of the tools currently available to promote responsible AI take a top-down approach, overlooking the role of intuitive perceptions of end users. However, emerging evidence shows that end users have preferences for specific algorithms, highlighting an alternative way to promo...

Foundations of Trans-Planckian Horizon Lock Mechanics – The Second Cosmic Secret: Non-Abelian Gauge-Fixing Determinants, Ghost Field Stabilization, and Primordial Mass-Gap Crisis Resolutions

This paper establishes the formal integrated mathematical physics framework for the Second Cosmic Secret of the Trans-Planckian Horizon Lock Mechanics (TPHLM). We systematically resolve the primordial mass-gap crisis and ghost field destabilization anomalies across non-linear sub...

Circular Economy Policies and Sustainable Economic Growth in Emerging Markets: A Level-2 Wavelet Decomposition with Two-Way Panel Fixed Effects

This paper examines how circular economy (CE) policies relate to sustainable economic growth and environmental sustainability across eight major emerging economies between 2005 and 2023, with particular attention to how that relationship shifts across time horizons. Much of the e...

‘Seeing Like a Movie’: Cultivating the Poetic Gaze with Thomas Aquinas and the Artform of the Moving Image

Abstract Why does Aquinas go to the movies and what does all of this have to do with education? In order to shed light on this productive confusion, I shall explore Thomas Aquinas’ medieval notion of divine poiesis not merely as a theological or metaphysical intrusion of the peda...

Engagement in women’s health: a history

In parts of the world, patient and public involvement has become an essential part of health and research. In women’s health and research, there is a chronic lack of participation and inclusion of women throughout the research pathway. At the same time, the gender gap and bias in...

HPV Genotype Distribution, Vaccine Protection Gaps, and Co-Infection Network Centrality Among 8515 Clinical Women in Wuxi, China: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study

Background/Objectives: Regional HPV genotype data for the Yangtze River Delta remain scarce, limiting evidence-based vaccine and screening policies. This study characterised the HPV genotype distribution, the vaccine protection gaps, and the co-infection network structure among c...

MiLTL: A Cross-Modal Contradiction Cascade for On-Device Voice Phishing Detection

Voice phishing (vishing) causes financial and psychological harm, yet deployed detectors that scan transcripts for scam vocabulary are more fragile than their benchmark scores suggest: their near-perfect accuracy on standard Korean corpora is memorization, collapsing under scamme...

Why Hysterectomy Algorithms Diverge from Clinical Practice: A Romanian Cohort Study

Background: Hysterectomy is a prevalent gynecological procedure and ensuring appropriate use of minimally invasive approaches is essential to enhance the value and quality of care. The aim of this study was to evaluate, for the first time in a Romanian real-world cohort, the fact...

Environmental, Climatic, and Production Perspectives in Agroforestry Research: Reassessing the Position of Rural Livelihoods Through Bibliometric Analysis

Agroforestry is widely promoted as a socioecological strategy that can integrate biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, sustainable production, and rural development, yet the relative position of rural livelihoods within the scientific structure of the field remain...
