Observing teaching principles in school - Development and Validation of an Observation Protocol (OPTIS)

Instructional quality seems to have a considerable impact on students’ achievements. Unpacking instructional quality through observation is an increasingly used method in educational research. Although a great variety of observational measurements for school observation are avail...

A holistic approach to type 1 diabetes: From advances in science and technology to equity in diabetes care

Over the past century, the discovery of insulin transformed type 1 diabetes from a fatal disease into a manageable chronic condition, and the subsequent recognition of its autoimmune basis laid the foundation for screening and intervention before clinical onset. Building on these...

Information security policy as a governance capability in politically complex legislative organizations: a tridimensional configurational model

Purpose This conceptual paper aims to examine information security policy (ISP) in Brazilian state legislative assemblies as a formal document that may operate as an institutional governance device and, under specific conditions, become a governance capability. Design/methodology...

Stirring-InducedKinetic Retardation in Ethylene EmulsionCopolymerization: Reversible Initiator Complexation Via Collision-DrivenMass Transfer

Abstract In the emulsion copolymerization of ethylene with polar monomers, vigorous agitation is typically expected to overcome mass-transfer resistance and enhance polymerization yield. In contrast, we report a stirring-induced kinetic suppression, where polymerization activity...

Jomon Force

Force is momentum which an object gets from another object or gives to another object within a time.

How Artificial Intelligence Reshapes Clinical Decision Thresholds in Cariology: A Qualitative Study of Dentists

Dental caries management requires iterative clinical reasoning, yet treatment thresholds and intervention pathways vary considerably among dentists despite established evidence-based frameworks. This study aims to examine how dentists integrate AI-supported diagnostic outputs int...

An interdependency perspective on disruption: crossfield discussion and literature extension

Purpose This paper departs from how the literature is filled with partly contradictory notions on disruption, while lacking a perspective that interlinks disruption causes of technology, business model and mindset with disruption effects beyond focal firms and industries. The pur...

The impact of geopolitical risk on energy and precious metal commodity markets using the DCC-GARCH MIDAS model

Purpose This study aims to investigate the impact of geopolitical risk on selected energy and precious metal commodities, namely WTI crude oil, Brent crude oil, natural gas, gold and silver. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a Dynamic Conditional Correlation Generalized...

Low‐Voltage Operation of IGZO Memtransistors Enabled by Coupling Enhancement Through 2T Drain‐Driven Operation for Neuromorphic Computing

Neuromorphic computing has emerged as a promising approach to overcome the limitations of the von Neumann architecture by enabling energy‐efficient data processing. Here, we demonstrate a two‐terminal (2T) flash‐type indium–gallium–zinc oxide memtransistor for voltage‐scalable an...

E8‑Phase‑Locked Multi‑Scale Trading Resonance — E8 Intelligence Research

The 132 Hz phi‑coupled oscillation of the 240‑root E8 soliton lattice generates an 8‑fold phase partition that can be mapped onto distinct market sectors, creating a hierarchy of self‑similar sub‑lattices each providing a deterministic waveform for price dynamics. By interpreting...

On the Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability of noninstantaneous impulsive fractional integro–differential equations

In recent years, fractional–order derivatives and integrals have proven tobe powerful tools for modeling complex systems with memory effects, mak-ing them well–suited for describing various real–world phenomena. Fractional–order models are often more effective than their integer–...

‘ No Braids, No Beads, No Locking of Hair ’: ‘Race’, Nation and Identity in (Post)‐Colonial Jamaica

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the links between hair and Jamaica's often unnamed ‘race’ politics as an expression of waywardness. Using a court ruling in which a 7‐year‐old, female student was mandated to cut her hair—at the time worn in locs hairstyle—it teases out the links bet...

EFFECT OF BEHAVIOURAL MODELLING TECHNIQUE ON NAIL BITING BEHAVIOUR AMONG PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS IN NIGERIA'S AWKA, EDUCATION ZONE

Nail biting (onychophagia) is a common maladaptive oral habit among primary school pupils that, if left unaddressed, may result in dental complications, nail bed injury, social embarrassment, and reduced self-esteem. Despite its prevalence, primary schools in Awka Education Zone...

Molecular Fragment-BasedGraph Isomorphism Networksfor Interpretable Prediction of Synergistic Drug Combinations

Abstract Drug combination therapy plays an increasingly important role in the clinical treatment of complex diseases, such as cancer, as rational drug combinations can enhance therapeutic efficacy and reduce toxic side effects. However, existing methods still exhibit limitations...

Preclinical Evaluation of Combined Polo-like Kinase 1 Inhibition and Navitoclax in Experimental Models of Lung Cancer

Targeted therapies have substantially advanced cancer treatment; however, therapeutic resistance remains a major challenge, particularly in lung cancer. Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK-1), a key regulator of mitosis, is frequently overexpressed in lung tumors and has emerged as an attrac...

Beyond the binary: a patient-centred approach to SSRIs and pregnancy

Purpose This study aims to examine the polarised discourse surrounding selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use during pregnancy and to propose a human rights-based and autonomy-focused approach grounded in reproductive justice and shared decision-making. Design/methodol...

Mental health knowledge-stigma profiles among primary healthcare workers involved in severe mental disorder management in Hainan, China

Under China’s Project 686 and the National Basic Public Health Service Program, primary healthcare workers play a central role in the community management of severe mental disorders. However, little is known about heterogeneity in mental health knowledge and perceived public stig...

Self-Care and Illness Perception in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Identifying Adaptive and Maladaptive Profiles Through Person-Centered Analysis

Abstract Self-care and illness perception are key determinants of adaptation to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but their relationship may be heterogeneous and poorly captured by average-level associations. This multicenter cross-sectional study examined whether self-care behav...

Model 1b analytical performance specifications – report on the Prague 2025 workshop

diagnostic medical devices (IVD MD) meet regulatory and quality standards before market release; for external quality assurance assessments; for quality control, monitoring reagent lot-to-lot variability, and allowing preanalytical variation assessments in labs; and for guiding p...
