An Action Theory Perspective to Stress Mitigation and Recovery Strategies in Air Traffic Control Training

We conducted a qualitative study taking a discrepancy-reduction, action theory perspective to extend recent research on stress and stress mitigation in Air Traffic Control (ATC) training. Using semi-structured interviews with six subject matter experts (SMEs) with a variety of AT...

Unsupervised Learning Identifies Sleep Disturbance Subtypes Among Dementia Caregivers

BACKGROUND: Sleep disturbance is highly prevalent among caregivers of persons with dementia (PWD), affecting approximately 67% of the more than 10 million adults in this role in the United States. Accurately characterizing these disturbances is essential to identify individuals a...

Self‐Assembly of Organic–Inorganic Copolymers Toward Bio‐Inspired Cementitious Composites

ABSTRACT Refined by millions of years of rigorous evolution, highly mineralized biological materials have perfected organic–inorganic self‐assembly to break the traditional trade‐off between strength and damage tolerance. Their rigid‐flexible precursor architectures motivate an o...

Sulfur‐Free Ultrahigh‐Refractive‐Index Polymers Enabled by Densely Packed Oxygen‐Bridged Dibenzofuran‐Cardo Architectures

ABSTRACT Sulfur‐free polymeric materials simultaneously achieving ultrahigh refractive index ( n > 1.8), low optical dispersion, high visible transparency, and thermal robustness have remained elusive due to the fundamental polarizability–dispersion trade‐off. Here, we introdu...

From public investment to community ownership: How government spending, land, infrastructure, and risk-sharing can build lasting public and community wealth

Public money creates ownership outcomes whether or not anyone decides them. The question is whether the public claim is designed at the point of contribution — or released quietly at the first transition. This is the seventh paper in IIBD's Community Wealth Infrastructure series....

Closing the Health Policy Implementation Gap With Artificial Intelligence

Importance: Health care policies often fail to achieve their goals due to implementation challenges attributable to workforce constraints, fragmented health information systems, and administrative complexity. This Special Communication proposes a framework for how artificial inte...

Temporal Trends of Melanoma and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer Mortality Rates in Hungary Between 1980 and 2020

Background: Long-term mortality trends for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in Hungary have not been comprehensively assessed. Methods: We conducted a retrospective nationwide study of deaths registered in Hungary between 1980 and 2020 among individuals aged 35 years...

An Exact Laplacian-Eigenvalue Degeneracy Between the Spin-½ and Spin-3/2 Representations of 2I

On the binary icosahedral group $2I$ with the canonical generating set $S = 10a \cup 10b$ ($|S|=24$), the spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}$ and spin-$\tfrac{3}{2}$ irreducible representations share the same Cayley-graph Laplacian eigenvalue, $\lambda_{1/2} = \lambda_{3/2} = 18$. The spin-$\tfr...

MicroRNAs and Other Small RNAs in Liquid Biopsies as Biomarkers for Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer

Early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major determinant of patient prognosis, as survival strongly depends on disease stage at diagnosis. Despite advances in screening programs, a significant proportion of CRC cases are still diagnosed at advanced stages, underscoring t...

Coexistence of a free-floating pigmented vitreous cyst and ciliary body cysts

Abstract Background Pigmented vitreous cysts are rare and generally benign intraocular lesions, but their origin remains uncertain. This case is noteworthy because multimodal imaging documented a free-floating pigmented vitreous cyst together with small bilateral temporal ciliary...

General practice closures or mergers: a survival analysis of contributing practice

Background 20% of general practices in the England have closed or merged since 2013. Little is known about factors that are associated with these closures, despite evidence on their negative impacts. Understanding these risks is important for recovering general practice. Aim Desc...
