Parental participation in empirical studies about sexual health: a systematic review of challenges and opportunities

Abstract Working with parents to improve the sexual health of adolescents is a popular and promising strategy. As it can be challenging, this review aimed to identify and synthesize barriers to and facilitators of parental participation in empirical studies about adolescent sexua...

Tissue Factor Expression Is Associated with Distinct Pattern of Immune-Cell Infiltration in the Ovarian Tumor Microenvironment

Tissue factor (TF) has been implicated in tumor progression and immune regulation, but its cellular sources and relationship with immune infiltration in ovarian cancer remain incompletely defined. We integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (GSE232314), analyses of The Cancer Genome...

COMMON GRAMMATICAL ERRORS MADE BY UZBEK LEARNERS OF ENGLISH: A DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS AND PEDAGOGICAL IMPLICATIONS

This study investigates the most prevalent grammatical errors made byUzbek learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and examines the underlyinglinguistic mechanisms driving these errors. Utilizing an error analysis (EA) frameworkcombined with Contrastive Analysis (CA), the...

Demographic, socioeconomic, and geographic predictors of treatment utilization and survival in Merkel cell carcinoma: an analysis of the national cancer database

Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer with a mortality rate exceeding that of melanoma. While previous studies have examined frequencies, the influence of demographic factors on treatment likelihood and survival is limited. The Nati...

Improved Skills for Predicting Sub‐Seasonal to Seasonal Global Sea Surface Temperature

ABSTRACT Accurate prediction of global sea surface temperature at sub‐seasonal to seasonal (S2S) timescales is critical for drought and flood forecasting, as well as for improving disaster preparedness in human society. Operational physics‐based numerical models are run to predic...

Food- and eating-related gender role orientations: Scale development and validation Part 1: Itemreduction

Gender roles shape a wide range of health-relevant behaviors, including food choices, dietary patterns and eating practices. Research consistently demonstrates that eating behavior is deeply gendered. Across cultures, specific foods, dietary practices, portion sizes and consumpti...

Waste-Derived and Supplementary Cementitious Materials as Low-Carbon Binders: Data-Driven Evaluation of Strength, Durability and Global Warming Potential

The concrete industry is a major source of global carbon emissions, largely due to Portland cement (OPC) production. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), many originating as industrial by-products or waste streams, can reduce these emissions while supporting material circ...

Plant DICER-LIKE, dual measurement RNA rulers

Small RNA (sRNA)-mediated gene silencing plays critical roles in eukaryotic gene regulation. The biogenesis of the two major types of sRNA, microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA), relies on the type III endoribonuclease Dicer. Unlike animals, which typically harbor fe...

Micro-cracks in welded joint made of S235JR steel: initiation, detection and critical assessment

Purpose This research elucidates two assumptions regarding the initiation mechanism and practical detectability of micro-cracks in welded joints made of S235JR steel, as well as their often-neglected influence on structural integrity. Design/methodology/approach Research investig...

A CXCR4-Targeted Dual-Acting Nanoconjugate Combines Protein-Toxin and Small-Molecule Warheads for Synergistic Cytotoxicity

Abstract Self-assembling multivalent protein nanoparticles with an architecture based on His-metal coordination and specific binding to cancer stem cells have emerged as promising tools for the selective delivery of microbial toxins in oncology, reaching precise cytotoxic effects...

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome associated with recurrent aspiration and difficult ventilator liberation in a post-trauma patient: a case report

Abstract Background Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is an uncommon cause of proximal intestinal obstruction caused by compression of the third portion of the duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta. Recurrent vomiting can result in aspiration and...

Moving Mass Problem—Analytical Approximation of Transient Solution on Infinite Two-Layer Model

The problem of moving inertial objects traversing simplified models of railway tracks has an analytical solution in the transformed domain under the assumptions of linearity and longitudinal homogeneity of the model. However, the time-domain response usually requires numerical in...

Dose-Dependent Preservation of Highland Barley Flour Storage Quality by Lycium barbarum Polysaccharide: Evidence from 240-Day Storage Monitoring and Untargeted Lipidomics

Highland barley (hulless barley, Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum) flour is a nutritionally dense staple of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, but its high contents of unsaturated lipids and active endogenous enzymes render it highly susceptible to storage deterioration. Natural polysacchar...

AI-Based Digital Twin for Distribution Transformer Health Prediction and Remaining Useful Life Estimation Using an ESP32-Based Multi-Sensor Monitoring System

Distribution transformers are essential components of power distribution systems, but continuous condition monitoring is often limited. This paper presents an AI-based digital twin for transformer health prediction and remaining useful life (RUL) estimation using an ESP32-based m...
