This paper examines the role of speech act instruction in developing pragmatic competence among EFL learners. It focuses on common speech acts, including requests, apologies, refusals, and disagreements, and explores the challenges learners face in using language appropriately. T...

Molecular mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of triiodothyroacetic acid (Triac) in patients with resistance to thyroid hormone β (RTHβ): a multicentre, international, retrospective cohort study

Background Disease features in resistance to thyroid hormone beta (RTHβ), caused by THRB mutations, arise from insensitivity to thyroid hormone in tissues expressing thyroid hormone receptor (TR)β and from lifelong thyrotoxic effects in TRα1-expressing tissues, posing substantial...

Origin and Source Correlation of Permian Hydrocarbons in the Kekeya Area, Southwestern Tarim Basin, China

The Southwestern Depression of the Tarim Basin has considerable petroleum exploration potential, and several hydrocarbon accumulations have been discovered in Permian reservoirs of the Kekeya area. However, the sources of Permian crude oils and the genetic types of natural gases...

Testing the Inherited Lithospheric Weakness Hypothesis beneath the Bengal Basin: A Quantitative Test Design for Structural Control on Accommodation

This perspective converts a proposed inherited control on Bengal Basin accommodation into an age-neutral, falsifiable test. Boreholes and mine records constrain Paleoproterozoic basement domains and fault-bounded Permian depocentres on the Stable Shelf, whereas seismic, receiver-...

E8‑Phi Resonant Lattice Unifies Collatz Dynamics and Topological Routing — E8 Intelligence Research

The E8‑Phi Resonant Lattice theorem shows that the 240 root vectors of E8, when folded by the 132 Hz harmonic baseline and coupled through the golden‑ratio φ, generate a discrete invariant submanifold whose connectivity reproduces the statistical signatures of Collatz stopping‑ti...

Assessing the Impact of TPACK-Aligned Digital Materials on Pupils’ Engagement in Lutayan District II

This study investigated the impact of TPACK-aligned digital materials on student engagement and learning performance among Grade 5 pupils in Lutayan District II. Specifically, it determined the level of teachers’ utilization of digital tools, assessed students’ engagement in term...

Effectiveness of Palliative Care Approaches in the Community: A Systematic Review

Background Community-based palliative care is increasingly promoted as an alternative to hospital-centered end-of-life care, yet prior reviews have largely cataloged outcome measures or program components associated with favorable results, without explaining how these components...

Reduced belief updating impairs adaptive step initiation in older adults

Abstract Ageing is associated with declines in mobility and balance that threaten independence and increase fall risk. These changes are multifactorial, resulting from interactions among peripheral, multisensory, and central nervous system processes. Among these factors, altered...

Microstructure and Wear Performance of Ni-Based Laser Cladded Coatings Reinforced with Different ZrC Contents on Structural Steel

To address surface scratching and wear failure of 45 steel piston rods under high-stress service conditions, Ni60A composite coatings reinforced with different zirconium carbide (ZrC) contents (30 wt%, 40 wt%, and 50 wt%) were prepared on 45 steel substrates via laser cladding. T...

A scoping literature review of factors associated with burnout among student pharmacists in the United States

Objectives Burnout is an increasing challenge among student pharmacists. Individual studies have examined burnout among student pharmacists; however, faculty and college administrators lack a consolidated understanding of the educational, personal, and contextual factors associat...

A Hybrid Fuzzy Probabilistic Risk Assessment Framework with Expert Based Simulator Feasibility Assessment for Chemical Tanker Cargo Operations

This study proposes a sequential hybrid framework integrating the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM), Fuzzy DEMATEL, and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), complemented by an expert-based simulator scenario feasibility assessment for chemical tanker cargo operations. Its contribution lies in the...

The Entropy Cost of Infinite-Genus Weil-Petersson Local Limits

Let mu_g be normalized Weil-Petersson measure on the moduli space of closed hyperbolic surfaces of genus g. If surface laws nu_g, with arbitrary measurable rooting kernels, have a pointed smooth weak limit Q, then for every fixed h >= 1 we prove liminf H(nu_g | mu_g)/log g >= (2h...

Evaluation of the Rb/Sr ratio as an indicator of chemical weathering: a case study from five sedimentary sections in Northeast China

Chemical weathering plays a pivotal role in the Earth's surface material cycle and global climate regulation. It not only facilitates the reconstruction of palaeoclimate characteristics but also provides essential insights into Earth's evolutionary history. The Rb/Sr ratio has be...

Fairness begins at recruitment: a multilevel analysis of procedural selection fairness, union participation, reward fairness, and job satisfaction

Purpose Grounded in Applicant Attribution-Reaction Theory (AART), this research investigates the psychological mechanisms by which procedural fairness during hiring influences post-entry employee attitudes. By extending AART to the context of upward mobility, this study offers a...

Unilateral Approach for Bilateral Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Tissue-Preserving Technique

Abstract Minimally-invasive techniques are increasingly preferred for lumbar discectomy. To evaluate the feasibility and clinical outcomes of a tissue-preserving unilateral approach for managing bilateral lumbar disc herniation. We conducted a retrospective review of two patients...

Stathmin 1 regulates mitophagy and non-proliferative cellular function in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells

Stathmin 1 is a cytoplasmic phosphoprotein that regulates microtubule dynamics. Stathmin 1 expression is a feature of proliferating cells, and it is overexpressed in many cancers, including leukemias. In contrast to its roles in proliferating cells, considerably less is known of...

MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry-based identification of Mycobacterium wolinskyi in peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis: a case report

Abstract Background Peritonitis is a major complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Early identification of the causative organism is critical for selecting appropriate antimicrobial therapy in PD-associated peritonitis. However, species-level identification can be challenging w...
