Parents face unique challenges as their children leave secondary school and advance into the emerging adulthood years. This study explores parents’, primarily mothers’, experiences of parenting as their children (16 – 19 years) were in their last months of school. Thirty Australi...

An exactly solvable minisuperspace model with a proven observational-equivalence theorem, a complete signature classification, and an ultralight-relic test

We study an exactly solvable minisuperspace model class in which mass plays the role of the time variable, constructed from established elements: the Compton clock, the timelike character of the conformal factor in the DeWitt supermetric, and relational (Page–Wootters) time. The...

Understanding the Complexity of Healthcare Staff Responses to Collective Personal and Occupational Stress Using the Adversity-Activated Development Reflection Tool

The adversity-activated development reflection tool (AART) has been used therapeutically to capture personal growth arising during adversity. Our mixed-methods study used this tool to assess adversity-activated growth in 854 mental and community healthcare workers during the COVI...

How considered interests evolve in deliberation: evidence from Swiss citizens’ juries

Abstract Citizens increasingly demand involvement in policymaking, driving the rise of participatory processes like deliberative minipublics. This article introduces a novel longitudinal survey measure to determine the extent to which citizens are more considerate of others’ inte...

Mapping pediatric cardiac troponin testing worldwide: results from the IFCC survey on emerging applications, standardization needs and access

OBJECTIVES: Limited guidance on the use and interpretation of cardiac troponin (cTn) testing in pediatric populations has restricted its broader adoption, despite the significant burden of congenital and acquired cardiac conditions in children. This survey aimed to evaluate globa...

A Neural Approach for Position–Orientation Tracking of the Stewart Platform with Disturbance Suppression

In this paper, the position–orientation tracking of the Stewart platform is investigated. We focus on the target-oriented tracking task, which usually occurs in the application of spotlights and cameras. Specifically, the mobile plate of the Stewart platform is always oriented to...

Reflux symptom burden and objective findings at long-term follow-up after peroral endoscopic myotomy

BACKGROUND: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) effectively treats achalasia but confers a significant risk of postoperative gastroesophageal reflux. Studies demonstrate poor short-term correlation between reflux symptoms and objective findings, but long-term outcomes remain unclea...

Establishment of an in vitro aerobic bacterial community as a model of the human lung microbiome

ABSTRACT The human lung microbiome is increasingly recognized as a key player in drug metabolism, yet it remains largely understudied. To replicate this complex physiological environment in a controlled setting, we developed a simplified artificial lung microbiome model composed...

Developmental Care and Follow‐Up of Infants Exposed to Alcohol and/or Drugs in Utero: An Australian Benchmarking Survey

AIM: Infants exposed to alcohol and/or drugs (AoD) in utero are at considerable risk for developmental complications which are amenable to early intervention. There are no published guidelines in Australia for the allied health care of infants and toddlers (0-2 years) who have be...

Serum Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Dynamics, Disease Progression, and Therapy Response in Multiple Sclerosis

Importance: Capturing individual multiple sclerosis (MS) progression is difficult; few studies have evaluated glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in large longitudinal cohorts with independent validation. Objective: To investigate whether serum GFAP levels and treatment-relate...
