The Big Stretch: Regulated Accumulation Beyond the Big Stretch

Contemporary cosmology is confronted by a growing collection of unresolved tensions, including discrepancies in measurements of the Hubble constant, anomalies in large-scale variance distributions, questions surrounding dark energy evolution, and the persistent challenge of recon...

When coping is not inclusion: Practitioner assessment narratives and the sustainability of autistic participation in mainstream schools

Abstract Inclusive education is often evaluated through visible indicators such as classroom engagement, behaviour, attendance and academic participation. For autistic learners, however, visible functioning may not fully reflect the accessibility of the educational environment or...

PLM driven digital twin manufacturing through EBOM to MBOM transformation in railway industry

Abstract The railway industry value chain, including locomotive manufacturing, maintenance-of-way equipment, and railcar production, operates under intense product complexity, high customization demands, and continuous pressure to reduce delivery timelines. This paper examines ho...

A review of Stemming Accessories Used to Control Air Blast in Surface Mining Operations

Abstract This paper reviews the stemming accessories commonly used in surface mining operations to control the environmental effects of rock blasting with specific emphasis on air blast. Indeed, air blast is a major byproduct of blasting that poses a serious operational and safet...

Cascading Lock-Ins in the Energy Transition of Post-Mining Regions: Towards an Integrated Governance Framework

The energy transition of post-mining regions requires not only the replacement of fossil fuel-based technologies but also the restructuring of infrastructures, institutions, labour markets, local economies and social relations shaped by mining and conventional energy production....

A statistical evaluation of uncertainty disentanglement methods

Die Zerlegung prädiktiver Unsicherheit in eine aleatorische Komponente für die nicht reduzierbare Variabilität des datengenerierenden Prozesses und eine epistemische Komponente für den reduzierbaren Wissensmangel des Modells gilt im maschinellen Lernen inzwischen als Standard. Zu...

Genetic etiology associated with post‑transplant outcomes in a retrospective cohort of pediatric kidney transplant recipients based on genomics analysis

To determine whether genetic etiology, as determined by whole-exome sequencing (WES) and copy-number variant (CNV) analysis, is associated with graft survival and early injury profiles in pediatric kidney transplant recipients. We conducted a single-center, retrospective cohort s...

MicrobialDissimilatory Iron Reduction of REE-DopedFerrihydrite and Differential Behaviors of Light and Heavy REEs

Abstract Regolith-hosted rare earth element (REE) deposits are a critical resource, particularly for heavy REEs. Iron oxide minerals are one of the key REE carriers in these deposits, and elucidating the biogeochemical behaviors of carrier minerals and associated REEs is crucial...

Impact of Prolonged Continuous Stress Exposure on Immune Function and the Gut Microbiome in a Perpetual Avoidance of Water on a Wheel Mouse Model

Both the immune system and gut microbiome play important roles in the physiological response to stress, yet their interplay under conditions of long-term continuous stress remains poorly understood due to the lack of suitable experimental models. We employed our previously develo...

Perils and progress in epilepsy surgery utilization: Twenty‐five years later

Abstract More than 25 years have passed since the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) established that surgery is superior to continued anti‐seizure medication (ASM) for drug‐resistant temporal lobe epilepsy, and nearly as long since a joint practice parameter urged that appr...

From generating human capital to transformative education: discursive struggles in Spanish education policy and openings for sustainability

Education is considered a key leverage point for sustainability transformation. Yet, dominant human-capital-based discourses, promoted by actors such as the OECD, have long framed education in an economistic way, marginalizing the creative, critical, and transdisciplinary pedagog...

BRIDGING THE GAP: EXPLORING THE MECHANISM OF HIJAMA BI'L SHART (WET CUPPING) RELIEVING CERVICAL SPONDYLOTIC RADICULOPATHY (WAJA-UL-UNUQ)

Cervical spondylosis refers to a range of age-related degenerative changes in the cervical spine, affecting the intervertebral discs, facet joints, ligamentum flavum, uncovertebral joints, and laminae. These changes develop slowly over time and are commonly seen in individuals be...

Yiqi Huoxue Compound promotes neuroprotection against ischemic stroke by inhibiting apoptosis through the activation of PI3K/AKT pathway

Yiqi Huoxue Compound (YQHX), a traditional Chinese medicine formulation, has demonstrated therapeutic potential for ischemic stroke (IS). However, its underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. This study aimed to elucidate the neuroprotective effects and mechanisms of YQHX...

Adaptive Design Reasoning of Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers in Instructional Materials Design: A Conjecture Mapping Study

The sustainability of education systems depends on teachers’ capacity to adapt to changing curriculum expectations and diverse student needs. However, there is limited information on how adaptive design reasoning develops in the iterative process of designing and adapting instruc...

Contrasting population genetic structures of freshwater eels ( Anguilla marmorata, A. bicolor, A. mossambica ) from Madagascar

Abstract Freshwater eels (genus Anguilla ) are of major biological and commercial interest due to their complex catadromous life cycle and as a high‐value fishery resource, but the biology of tropical species is still poorly understood. This study investigates the genetic integri...

The Marginalisation of Charitable Functions: Confessional Argumentation and the Construction of the Diaconate in a Late Nineteenth-Century Catholic Encyclopaedia

Abstract This article examines how a late nineteenth-century Catholic account of the diaconate was shaped through selective emphasis and omission. Focusing on the 1882 encyclopaedia entry Diakon in the Real-Encyklopädie der christlichen Alterthümer , it treats the text as a case...

Characterization of pulmonary embolism events in patients with suspected pneumonia

Abstract Pneumonia and pulmonary embolism (PE) share similar clinical presentations, posing a significant diagnostic challenge. We investigated whether available diagnostic modalities could identify distinct characteristics in patients suspected of pneumonia later diagnosed with...

Education about gender development predicts support for transgender youth’s gender identity autonomy

Most adults have limited understanding of child development, yet their perceptions of development influence their decisions about whether to support children’s autonomy—such as support for autonomy-limiting anti-transgender legislation. This work found that adult participants bel...
