Reframing “One Health” for Healthcare-Associated AMR: Target Microbes, Internal Environments, and Operational Action

While the One Health paradigm has successfully elevated antimicrobial resistance (AMR) on the global political agenda, its operationalization raises questions about how research, surveillance and interventions can best address transmission in healthcare settings. In this perspect...

Unified covariant effective Big Beng cosmology: cyclic closure, stability, and an Einstein–Boltzmann benchmark

We present the fourth step of the Big Beng program, whose preceding papers separately establishedan effective cyclic background, a covariant nonsingular bounce construction, and a microscopic gaugeproductionchannel for contraction-side energy conversion. Here we consolidate those...

Faith, debt, and ethical dissonance: a phenomenological study of Muslim women’s borrowers of Bank Titil in Indonesia

Purpose This study aims to explain the intention–behavior gap among Muslim women borrowers of Bank Titil (informal moneylenders) in Indonesia, specifically examining why they enter into interest-bearing financial transactions despite knowing the explicit Islamic prohibition again...

Script Reform, Human Capital and Social Change: Evidence From Uzbekistan's Latin Alphabet Transition

ABSTRACT Script reforms are common nation‐building tools, yet rigorous evidence on their effects is scarce. This paper examines Uzbekistan's transition from Cyrillic to Latin script, mandated in 1993 and implemented in schools from 1996. I study heterogeneous effects across initi...

Experimental and theoretical investigation of high-frequency electromagnetic noise generation in an electronic water pump

From experimental and theoretical perspectives, this paper investigates the generation mechanism of electromagnetic noise (EN) in an electronic water pump (EWP). A test-rig for EWP vibration and noise measurement is constructed, and powered-normal and motored tests are performed...

Cardiomyocyte-Specific LncRNA CSTPP Prolongs the Proliferation Window by Promoting CDKN1A Decay in Postinfarction Cardiac Regeneration

BACKGROUND: Adult mammalian cardiomyocytes exhibit some capacity to reenter the cell cycle after ischemic injury. However, activated cardiomyocytes rapidly undergo cell cycle rearrest shortly after activation. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of c...

Modeling Offshore Fire Impact Induced by Subsea Hydrogen Releases

Abstract Offshore hydrogen production has developed rapidly in recent years. Accidental hydrogen releases in offshore environments threaten the safety of hydrogen supply chain. A mathematical model of sea-surface fire induced by subsea hydrogen release is developed using computat...

Automated 3D Analysis of Hip Morphology in a Young Adult Population

Abstract Purpose Although many factors contribute to the development of hip OA, structural findings, such as acetabular dysplasia, are recognized as strong contributing factors to early degenerative changes. However, conventional two-dimensional imaging cannot fully capture the j...

Circadian and ultradian locomotor activity rhythms in the coastal dune beetle Pimelia depressa (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) from Rimel, Tunisia

Tenebrionidae beetles are a conspicuous component of arid and semi-arid environments. This study investigated locomotor activity rhythms in male Pimelia depressa collected from the coastal sandy dunes of Rimel Beach, Bizerte, north-eastern Tunisia. Locomotor activity was monitore...

Instability-Aware Digital Twins for Robust Co-Optimization of Operational Carbon Emissions, Thermal Comfort, and Structural Serviceability Reliability under Uncertainty in Smart Buildings

Modern smart buildings operate under continuously varying climatic, occupancy, equipment, grid-carbon, material, degradation, and sensing conditions, making nominal optimization insufficient for reliable operational decision-making. This study develops and numerically evaluates a...

ANALYSIS OF THE BRAND POSITIONING OF INSURANCE COMPANIES IN THE MARKET: A PERCEPTUAL MAP, THE COST OF DISTANCE AND THE GAP BETWEEN CLAIM AND PERCEPTION

Insurers describe their positioning in words and then compete on the same two or three attributes. This article maps where they actually stand. Nine hundred customers rated sixteen insurers on eight attributes, and the brand means are reduced to two dimensions by principal compon...

Online cooperative learning for nonlinear multi-agent systems with quantised states and inputs under switching topologies

This paper addresses the problem of fuzzy adaptive state and input quantisation control for nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) under switching topologies and directed graphs. The fuzzy logic system (FLS) is employed to approximate unknown nonlinear functions, while a second-ord...

Next-Generation Intelligent Adaptive Micro/Nanorobots for Precise Intervention of Central Nervous System Injuries: Advances, Clinical Hurdles, and Future Directions

Abstract Central nervous system (CNS) injuries, including traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and stroke, are associated with high rates of disability and mortality. Challenges such as the obstruction of drug delivery by biological barriers, disrupted neuronal energy meta...

A Dichalcogenide-Protected Pt@Au12@Ag8 Nanocluster

Abstract Precise control over the location of heterometal atoms in alloy nanoclusters is essential for understanding how metal distribution governs superatomic structure and properties. Herein we show that PtAg20[S2P(OPr)2]12 (PtAg20) can serve as a structurally defined precursor...

Energy retrofit of historic buildings under wall mould growth constraints: A case study in Suzhou, China

In the hot, humid climate of southern China, energy retrofit of historic buildings is constrained by poor envelope thermal performance and a high mould risk. Although internal insulation can reduce energy demand, it alters wall hygrothermal conditions and may increase the risk of...

Transient Numerical Simulation of CO2 Conversion to Useful Products in a Flow Electrolyzer

Abstract The transient two-dimensional continuum numerical model was developed for the cathodic section of a flow electrolyzer with a catholyte flow channel to investigate the unsteady characteristics of the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction. The Tafel model kinetic paramete...

Hereditary and Acquired Aplastic Anemia in Children: Etiopathogenesis, Clinical Features, Diagnosis, Differential Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention

Description: This article discusses hereditary and acquired aplastic anemia in children, a rare and potentially life-threatening disorder characterized by bone marrow failure and reduced production of blood cells. It explains the causes, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, dia...

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation for functional recovery in individuals with hereditary spastic paraplegia: Protocol for a pilot clinical trial

Background Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a rare genetic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive lower-extremity spasticity, weakness, and gait impairment resulting from corticospinal tract degeneration. With no disease-modifying therapies available, novel...

Global proteolysis during starvation governs proteome remodeling and a survival–regrowth trade-off in bacteria

Starving bacteria must synthesize stress proteins to survive, but how protein synthesis persists in the absence of nutrient influx is unclear. We show that in Escherichia coli , carbon starvation triggers large-scale proteome remodeling, with global proteolysis supplying both the...

Dual-Gaussian Schottky barrier distribution in CVD graphene/n-Si diodes from temperature-dependent transport

The transformative potential of graphene/Si Schottky junctions for electronic and power-electronic applications stems from their exceptional thermal and chemical resilience compared to conventional metal contacts. In this work, chemical vapor deposition-grown graphene was transfe...
