Supporting Children with Medical Complexities: Strengths and Needs in Early Intervention

There is limited research related to Part C Early Intervention (EI) services for families of children with medical complexities (CMC). Given the extensive barriers that CMC and their families experience (e.g., financial hardships, ableism, frequent appointments, mental health pro...

Clinical and Pathophysiological Interplay Between Patent Ductus Arteriosus and Patent Foramen Ovale: A Comparative Narrative Review

ABSTRACT Background Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) are two fetal cardiovascular shunts that normally undergo functional and anatomical closure shortly after birth. While PDA is a well‐recognized congenital defect in veterinary cardiology, the haemod...

On the Axiom of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Modelling of Flexoelectricity

The present paper addresses models of non-local materials and, in particular, flexoelectric materials as dielectrics with higher-order gradients. While the literature develops the subject through variational formulations, here the modelling is developed within a thermodynamic fra...

Geochemical characteristics of lithium in surface waters of the Kulon Progo volcanic region for sustainable energy applications

Abstract The increasing global demand for lithium and other critical elements has intensified the need for efficient and cost-effective exploration approaches. This study presents a preliminary hydrogeochemical assessment of lithium distribution in the Kulon Progo volcanic region...

Ecological Quality Assessment of Mediterranean Wadis in the Bizerte Lagoon Catchment (Northern Tunisia) Using Benthic Diatoms

The study presents an integrated assessment of water quality in wadis of the Bizerte Lagoon catchment (Northern Tunisia), using benthic diatom assemblages. Seasonal sampling was conducted between winter 2023 and winter 2024 in three wadis exposed to varying anthropogenic pressure...

Sport-Relevant Heat Exposure and Socio-Economic Vulnerability: A Country-Level Assessment Under Coherent Shared Socioeconomic Pathways

(1) Background: Climate change is reducing the climatic windows in which outdoor sport and physical activity can be safely practised. Yet, it remains unclear whether the resulting population exposure is distributed evenly across countries or is concentrated in countries with high...

The Big Stretch: Regulated Accumulation Beyond the Big Stretch

Contemporary cosmology is confronted by a growing collection of unresolved tensions, including discrepancies in measurements of the Hubble constant, anomalies in large-scale variance distributions, questions surrounding dark energy evolution, and the persistent challenge of recon...

When coping is not inclusion: Practitioner assessment narratives and the sustainability of autistic participation in mainstream schools

Abstract Inclusive education is often evaluated through visible indicators such as classroom engagement, behaviour, attendance and academic participation. For autistic learners, however, visible functioning may not fully reflect the accessibility of the educational environment or...

PLM driven digital twin manufacturing through EBOM to MBOM transformation in railway industry

Abstract The railway industry value chain, including locomotive manufacturing, maintenance-of-way equipment, and railcar production, operates under intense product complexity, high customization demands, and continuous pressure to reduce delivery timelines. This paper examines ho...

A review of Stemming Accessories Used to Control Air Blast in Surface Mining Operations

Abstract This paper reviews the stemming accessories commonly used in surface mining operations to control the environmental effects of rock blasting with specific emphasis on air blast. Indeed, air blast is a major byproduct of blasting that poses a serious operational and safet...

Cascading Lock-Ins in the Energy Transition of Post-Mining Regions: Towards an Integrated Governance Framework

The energy transition of post-mining regions requires not only the replacement of fossil fuel-based technologies but also the restructuring of infrastructures, institutions, labour markets, local economies and social relations shaped by mining and conventional energy production....

A statistical evaluation of uncertainty disentanglement methods

Die Zerlegung prädiktiver Unsicherheit in eine aleatorische Komponente für die nicht reduzierbare Variabilität des datengenerierenden Prozesses und eine epistemische Komponente für den reduzierbaren Wissensmangel des Modells gilt im maschinellen Lernen inzwischen als Standard. Zu...

Genetic etiology associated with post‑transplant outcomes in a retrospective cohort of pediatric kidney transplant recipients based on genomics analysis

To determine whether genetic etiology, as determined by whole-exome sequencing (WES) and copy-number variant (CNV) analysis, is associated with graft survival and early injury profiles in pediatric kidney transplant recipients. We conducted a single-center, retrospective cohort s...

MicrobialDissimilatory Iron Reduction of REE-DopedFerrihydrite and Differential Behaviors of Light and Heavy REEs

Abstract Regolith-hosted rare earth element (REE) deposits are a critical resource, particularly for heavy REEs. Iron oxide minerals are one of the key REE carriers in these deposits, and elucidating the biogeochemical behaviors of carrier minerals and associated REEs is crucial...

Impact of Prolonged Continuous Stress Exposure on Immune Function and the Gut Microbiome in a Perpetual Avoidance of Water on a Wheel Mouse Model

Both the immune system and gut microbiome play important roles in the physiological response to stress, yet their interplay under conditions of long-term continuous stress remains poorly understood due to the lack of suitable experimental models. We employed our previously develo...

Perils and progress in epilepsy surgery utilization: Twenty‐five years later

Abstract More than 25 years have passed since the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) established that surgery is superior to continued anti‐seizure medication (ASM) for drug‐resistant temporal lobe epilepsy, and nearly as long since a joint practice parameter urged that appr...

From generating human capital to transformative education: discursive struggles in Spanish education policy and openings for sustainability

Education is considered a key leverage point for sustainability transformation. Yet, dominant human-capital-based discourses, promoted by actors such as the OECD, have long framed education in an economistic way, marginalizing the creative, critical, and transdisciplinary pedagog...
