Who Calls the Bird "Minor"? Naming and Ethical Self-Correction in Robert Frost's A Minor Bird

This commentary offers a fresh reading of Robert Frost's A Minor Bird by arguing that the poem's ethical force resides not only in the speaker's final act of self-correction but also in the significance of its title. Rather than treating "minor" as an objective description of the...

Determining the Mental Well-being Level of Health Sciences Faculty Students During COVID-19: Descriptive Study Design

Outbreaks can affect mental health. Healthcare workers have also been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the mental well-being of students studying at the faculty of health sciences may be impaired. The present study aimed to determine the mental wel...

Multidomain mobility and cognition across the adult lifespan: Stride velocity and cadence are associated with executive function in older adulthood.

= .048) explained an additional 3.4% and 2.8% of variance in executive function beyond age and education. No associations were observed among younger adults. Mobility and cognition relationships may differ across adulthood. In older adulthood, cadence emerged as a distinct mobili...

Adipose Tissue Palmitoylation Cycling Mediates Insulin Resistance and Preservation of β-Cell Function in Mice

Excess adiposity is associated with insulin resistance and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. We show that palmitoylation cycling in white adipose tissue (WAT) balances insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion. WAT and brown adipose tissue (BAT) ablation of acyl-protein thioesterase...

Automation and autocommunication: A typology of self-communication with wearables

This is a preprint of an article submitted for consideration in the International Journal of Communication.

Ti3C2 MXene-Based Composites for Hydrogen and Ammonia Gas Sensing: A Review

The unique contributions of 2D Ti3C2 MXenes surface, electrical, and chemical features play a crucial role in determining toxic and flammable gas-sensing behavior. Specifically, its high electrical conductivity (metallic nature), layered nanosheet structure (nanosheets), and surf...

Blowing Leaves in Archaeology—The Multidimensionality of Technological Complexity in Human Origins Research

Abstract Technological complexity has been a continuous trope in archaeological research from its beginnings in the nineteenth century. Based on a concept of unidirectional cultural evolution, archaeological material was ordered along a linear progression from simple to complex....

Digital Human Capital as a Determinant of Digital Transformation Capacity in European Economies

The main objective of the paper is to assess the importance of selected components of digital human capital in shaping the digital transformation capacity of European countries, measured through the Network Readiness Index. The focus is on basic digital skills, ICT specialists an...

Stochasticity in response to rostrocaudal and mediolateral determinants influences inaccurate specification within kidney organoids

The differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells to kidney requires the accurate recapitulation of complex morphogenetic patterning events within an in vitro environment. Current protocols are assumed to accurately pattern through intermediate mesoderm to kidney with outcomes...

The data that supports the findings of this study are available in the external repository (https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/6rh8dcvmfv/1) of this article.

Physical activity participation in wheelchair sports groups: analysis of individual, interpersonal and club-related characteristics among individuals with physical disabilities

Abstract Background Physical activity is vital for individuals with physical disabilities, yet participation in organized sport remains low even though it significantly promotes physical and mental health, as well as social participation. This study applies a social-ecological mo...

Discussion: Educators leading change

The world is in crisis – again. Climate change, inequality, conflict and technology are sources of deep pain and anxiety. And around the world, too many politicians seem intent on deepening economic, environmental and social fault lines rather than healing them.We have been here...

MiR-145-5p modulates collagen production and fibroblast behaviour after cardiac injury partially via COL5A1

Abstract In contrast to humans, zebrafish hearts after cryoinjury undergo transient fibrotic scarring that subsequently resolves and renews with functional cardiomyocytes. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac scarring and fibrotic resolution in zebrafish, we...

The Concept of Adaptive Phased Manual Lymphatic Drainage (AP-MLD): Physiological Principles and Clinical Practice

Background: Traditional manual lymphatic drainage constitutes a historically proven and indispensable therapy for edematous conditions. Building upon this robust clinical basis, the current evolution of care seeks to further elevate therapeutic outcomes by introducing strictly st...

Vibration behavior and control study of an interlaced coupled beam system equipped with a nonlinear internal oscillator

Interlaced coupled-beam systems are widely used in engineering applications, including rigid mechanical arms, frame-type offshore platforms, shield machine support structures, and others. To demonstrate the potential of nonlinear oscillators for suppressing longitudinal, transver...

Effect of Nano-Silver Fluoride Containing 2000 ppm Silver Nanoparticles on the Microhardness and Color of Flowable Resin Composites: An In Vitro Pilot Study

Although the modification of resin composites with antimicrobial agents represents a viable alternative for biofilm inhibition, these changes may compromise the optical and mechanical properties of dental restorations. This in vitro pilot study evaluated the effect of incorporati...

A competency addition procedure for constructing minimal, yet maximally informative tests for skill assessment

Abstract Competence-based test development is a novel method for constructing tests that are as informative as possible about the competence state (the set of skills an individual possesses) underlying item responses. If desired, the tests can also be minimal, meaning that no ite...
