Cutaneous Pediatric Vasculitis: A Clinico-Histopathological Overview of Common and Novel Entities

Vasculitis encompasses a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by the inflammation of blood vessels. In children, the diagnosis of vasculitis with cutaneous involvement relies on a combination of clinical evaluation, histopathological examination, and, in some cases, gene...

Microrobots for Precision Diagnosis and Treatment in the Digestive System: A Review of Actuation Mechanisms, Structural Design, Preclinical and Translational Applications

Because lesions associated with digestive system diseases are often deeply seated, embedded within complex luminal milieus, and protected by substantial local delivery barriers, conventional diagnostic and therapeutic modalities remain constrained in their targeting capability, m...

What Does the Universe Expand Into?

This paper examines the ontological question of what the Universe expands into within the Scalar Drag Emergence Framework (SDEF). Building on the previously established ancestry-mediated expansion mechanism, it proposes that cosmological expansion advances into Potential, formall...

Barriers to addressing domestic, sexual, and gender‐based violence against pregnant Indigenous Peruvian women: A comparison of intramural and extramural healthcare workers

OBJECTIVE: To compare the barriers to addressing domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence (DSGBV) against pregnant Indigenous Peruvian women between intramural and extramural healthcare workers. METHODS: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted with 182 workers from t...

Founder Narcissistic Admiration and Young Firm Performance: The Mediating Role of Innovative Ambidexterity

Abstract Personality characteristics of entrepreneurial leaders appear to play an important role in facilitating the kinds of innovative activities that enhance young firm performance. Scholars have highlighted the need for these firms to demonstrate innovative ambidexterity, or...

The study aims to evaluate the effects of face-to-face education initiative supported by the “Educational Guide on Childhood Vaccination Hesitancy” given to pregnant women by the researcher on vaccine hesitancy and vaccine literacy. The present study was conducted as a pre-test/p...

Can Knowledge Be Translated (by a Machine)?

This paper takes up the important questions whether (i) machines—by means of software—can translate texts, thereby imitating translations made by humans, and (ii) publications in the fields of scientific domains and engineering can be translated by machines to an almost perfect l...

Three-Dimensional Real Contact Area at the Tire–Asphalt Interface Revealed by Synchrotron X-Ray CT

Abstract Tire and road wear particles are considered a major source of microplastic pollution globally, necessitating a deeper understanding of friction and wear mechanisms at the tire–road interface. A key parameter governing these phenomena is the real contact area; however, to...

Graph-theoretic active learning for the closed-loop discovery of stochastic heterogeneous composites

The inverse design of resilient infrastructure materials is hindered by the combinatorial complexity inherent in optimizing stochastic, heterogeneous microstructures. Traditional Euclidean deep learning architectures, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), fail to efficien...

Adaptive Temporal Reallocation and Trajectory-Aware Modulation for Event-Level Segmentation of Small-Scale UAVs

Event-level segmentation of small-scale unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is challenging because target-generated events are sparse and are easily mixed with background motion and sensor noise. This study extends EV-SpSegNet with Adaptive Temporal Reallocation (ATR), Trajectory-Awa...

Does empowering leadership enhance perceived employability? A moderated-mediation analysis

Purpose Based on the career construction theory (CCT), this research investigates how empowering leadership (EL) enhances the perceived employability (PE) among knowledge workers. Specifically, we examine the mediating role of career crafting (CC) in the relationship between EL a...

Transport of cytotoxic cyanine dyes coupled to siRNA into hematopoietic cancer cells with CD20-, CD22- or CD33-targeting ELART nanocarriers

Abstract The efficient and safe transfection of hematopoietic cells is a major hurdle that limits efficacy of therapeutic approaches like RNA-interference. We therefore used our modular EL ectrostatic A ntibody si R NA T argeted therapy platform (ELART) to develop nanocarriers de...

Time-dependent divergence in infection risks among patients with multiple sclerosis treated with fumarates versus anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies

Background: People with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) treated with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies have an elevated infection risk, yet long-term comparative data with oral fumarates are limited. Objective: To compare infection incidence, healthcare resource utilization, and relapse...

Recent Increaseof Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Cryosphere-InfluencedReservoirs under Climate Change

Abstract Global warming leads to cryosphere degradation, transferring large amounts of terrestrial carbon and nitrogen to reservoirs, which may accelerate the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to the atmosphere. However, the spatial dynamics and decadal trends of GHG emissions f...

A Hybrid Transfer Learning Approach for Ambient PM2.5 Exposure Modeling in LMIC Contexts: A Case Study from Lima, Peru

Abstract Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) contributes to millions of premature deaths annually worldwide. While epidemiological studies increasingly rely on geospatial technologies, such as satellite remote sensing, low-cost sensors, and chemical transport models, to q...
