Construct Validity and Reliability of the OMNI Scale in Children and Adolescents With Neuromuscular Diseases

INTRODUCTION/AIMS: Children and adolescents with neuromuscular diseases often demonstrate muscle weakness and mobility limitations, which may increase perceived exertion during functional tasks. The OMNI scale was developed to assess perceived exertion in pediatric populations; h...

RKM Theory Response Formation as a Nonlinear Dynamical Process

RKM Theory proposes redesigning LLMs with two modules: one that recognizes the "motive" behind an error (MRM), and one that formulates a response based on it (RFM). It reframes refusal/silence not as failure, but as convergence to a stable "null attractor" — a legitimate dynamica...

Scythian Archaeology in Colonial and Postcolonial Narratives

Scythian Studies, or Scythology has a complex and discontinuous history as a branch of archaeology. In its modern form, it is a relatively young discipline. Rather than showing steady development, the field is marked by major interruptions, particularly under the Soviet regime. F...

The History of Transposable Element Invasions in Drosophila melanogaster

As a fundamental biological principle, genomic information is typically transmitted vertically from parent to offspring. Occasionally, however, genetic material is transferred horizontally between species. Transposable elements (TEs) are frequently involved in such horizontal tra...

Seasonal predictability of winter PM 2.5 pollution severity in India through a strong pollution–extratropical storm connection

India suffers from severe fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) air pollution in winter that harms public health and disrupts economic activities. Seasonal prediction of pollution severity could facilitate proactive mitigation planning but is hindered by incomplete understanding of t...

A New Era for Navigation with LEOPNT in Europe: The Celeste IOD Mission and Recent Advances in Safran’s Skydel Simulator

This paper aims to provide an accessible and pedagogically-oriented overview of recent European advances in LEO-PNT by focusing on three complementary aspects: - The development of ESA' In-Orbit Demonstrator (IOD) mission, Celeste, and the Navigation Innovation and Support Progra...

An elite allele TaNPF7.6-A1mod enhances nitrogen use efficiency and grain yield in wheat

Breeding wheat varieties with a high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) reduces both production costs and threats to the ecological environment. Here, using candidate-gene and genome-wide association studies, we identify TaNPF7.6-A1 as a positive regulator of NUE in wheat. A widely co...

Digital knowledge sharing and university–industry collaboration in emerging technologies using SEM–machine learning approach

University–Industry Collaboration (UIC) is central to innovation systems, yet its effectiveness remains constrained in many developing economies due to weak knowledge integration mechanisms and fragmented institutional support. This study examines how emerging digital technologie...

Transcription factor ELF-1 drives inflammatory macrophage to exacerbate AKI by GBP4/NLRs/NF-κB axis

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an unavoidable complication and critical determinant of prognosis in renal transplantation. M1-polarized macrophages are known to exacerbate AKI progression. Preliminary clinical data reveals a positive correlation between elevated E74-like ETS transc...

Beyond UDP: RDMA as the Missing Link for Gigasample Software-Defined Radio

Genetic diversity analysis and core collection construction of 259 garlic germplasm resources based on SSR molecular markers

This study utilized 23 SSR primer pairs for amplification and capillary electrophoresis detection across 259 garlic germplasm accessions. Genetic diversity and clustering were assessed through locus-based statistical methods. A core collection was identified using Powercore softw...

Increase in fracture-related infection in open distal femur fractures treated with locally delivered antibiotics

Abstract Objectives: Local antibiotic delivery may reduce fracture-related infections (FRIs), but its efficacy in distal femur fractures remains unclear. This study evaluated (1) usage patterns of local antibiotics in distal femur fractures and (2) their impact on infection rates...

Why translation is not enough and how functional language use can improve cultural adaptation in bilingual implementation settings

Despite widespread bilingualism, most intervention adaptation efforts remain grounded in monolingual assumptions. This approach poorly reflects how bilingual communication functions. Research in sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics shows that bilingual speakers do not “turn off...

A Biomimetic cascade nanoreactor enabled by tumor microenvironment remodeling for precise CO release and enhanced cu-mediated chemodynamic therapy

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most prevalent malignant tumor in the male genitourinary system. Carbon monoxide (CO) gas therapy and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) have emerged as alternative treatments for cancer. However, the therapeutic efficacy of both approaches is constrained by...

Factors influencing inhaled medication adherence among hospitalized patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from rural and township areas of China with prior primary care experience: a mixed-methods study

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease require long-term medication to control their symptoms. This study explored factors influencing adherence to inhaled medications in hospitalized patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who resided in rural and townsh...

Creation of rosemary germplasm resources with high glandular trichome density and elevated levels of volatile and non-volatile functional components

Rosemary originates in the Mediterranean region and is a traditional medicinal and aromatic plant. It contains a variety of bioactive components, including both volatile and non-volatile, and exhibits properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-fungal, and...

Evaluating sexual violence bystander intervention in alcohol-serving venues: a quasi-experimental protocol for assessing individual, interpersonal, and venue-level intervention effects

Alcohol is a leading risk factor for sexual violence (SV) victimization, perpetration, and reduced bystander intervention. Social environments where heavy drinking occurs (e.g., bars), and the staff who work within them, represent unique targets for SV prevention. Bar-based bysta...

Lymphoma presenting as chronic nonproductive cough misdiagnosed as lung cancer recurrence: a case report

Chronic nonproductive cough is a common initial symptom prompting patients to seek medical attention. Its etiology is complex and broad, often posing diagnostic challenges in clinical practice. A woman with a history of resected double primary lung cancer experienced a persistent...

Integrative plasma proteomic network analysis identifies physical activity-associated protein modules potentially mediating type 2 diabetes risk

Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Identifying protein modules that mediate this association may help dissect these biological underpinnings, but they remain incompletely characterized. We studied 28,842 diabetes-free UK Bioban...

Multidimensional pre-season screening to predict musculoskeletal injuries in competitive swimmers: a prospective cohort study

Swimming is physically demanding, yet prospective evidence identifying independent injury predictors remains limited, particularly regarding the predictive value of multidimensional functional screening batteries. In this 9-month prospective cohort study, 170 competitive swimmers...
