Reasonable Exceptions From Unreasonable Policies: Requiring Treatment Agreements for Long‐Term Opioid Therapy and Exemptions for Cancer and Terminal Illness

Since drug overdose deaths began increasing in the United States, policy makers and the medical community have developed tools to try to address the crisis. Opioid Treatment Agreements (OTAs) are one such tool which purportedly seek to promote shared decision-making and informed...

Beyond Immediate Responses: A Systems Map of Community Factors Underlying Persistent Gun Violence in New Haven

Abstract Gun violence is a pervasive and multifaceted public health problem. This study describes a novel application of group model building—a process that centers stakeholder voices to describe a complex problem—to investigate drivers of gun violence and design community-led in...

Knowledge Transfer-Based Heterogeneous Distillation Network for Remaining Useful Life Prediction Under Cross-Working Conditions

Remaining useful life (RUL) estimation is a fundamental task in Prognostics and Health Management (PHM), supporting condition-based and predictive maintenance of engineering systems. Data-driven methods contribute to many effective strategies for RUL prediction. However, two prob...

ARTICLE 2. MEMORY THEORY: THE PHYSICS OF WATER MOLECULES

According to the Non-Information Theory of Life (NJT), living systems are described as supramolecular ensembles capable of maintaining their identity in the flow of matter and energy. The key mechanism for preserving identity is physical memory – the ability of the system to reco...

The prevalence of concomitant anatomical variations of atlas vertebrae in a south african skeletal collection

Anatomical variations of atlas vertebrae (C1) are common, yet the prevalence of coexistence of multiple variants remains underreported. This study investigated the prevalence, patterns, and demographic associations of atlas variations in a South African skeletal repository. A qua...

Unlocking air cargo demand: A novel predictive model selection framework based on data characteristics

Air cargo transportation plays a key role in global trade, especially for time-sensitive and high-value products. Accurate prediction of air cargo demand is essential for informed decision-making on infrastructure planning, capacity management, and resource allocation across the...

The Tyrolean Founder MLH1 Variant c.836T>G Causes Lynch Syndrome Due to a Leaky Splice Effect

The identification of a pathogenic variant (PV) in one of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes confirms the diagnosis of Lynch syndrome (LS). Hence, the correct classification of MMR gene variants is of utmost importance for appropriate counselling, surveillance, and treatment of LS p...

Energy Crop Cultivation of Miscanthus × giganteus on Biochar‐Amended Marginal Soils With Conventional and Waste‐Derived Fertilization: Biomass Allocation and Nutrient Dynamics Toward Closing Nutrient Loops

ABSTRACT Sustainable production of lignocellulosic biomass on marginal lands requires strategies that enhance yield while minimizing nutrient losses and supporting circular resource use. In this study, a two‐year (2023–2024) greenhouse meso‐scale experiment was conducted using Mi...

Not all charisma is created equal: socialized vs personalized charismatic leadership and subordinates' career growth

Purpose This study aims to examine how socialized and personalized charismatic leadership differentially shape subordinates' career growth opportunities (CGO), providing new insights into leadership's role in career development. Design/methodology/approach We collected three-wave...

Characterization and functional evaluation of a fiber-optic instrumented impedance-controlled upper-limb exoskeleton

The use of active exoskeletons for musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) prevention is increasing in industrial environments. Wearable sensing technologies enable closed-loop control of these devices. However, magnetic disturbances and sensor fixation issues can compromise measurement r...

Stabilizer ModulatedArea-Selective Growth of VerticallyAligned Carbon Nanotube Forests toward Thermal Interface Materials

Abstract Area-selective growth of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VA-CNT) forests is critical for constructing spatially controlled thermal transport pathways in thermal interface materials. This capability is particularly important for thermal management scenarios involving...

DIGITAL FORENSIC RECOVERY OF DAMAGED MOBILE DEVICES USING A NON-INVASIVE PRACTITIONER-DRIVEN FRAMEWORK

Mobile devices have become primary sources of digital evidence in modern investigations. Yet forensic data recovery becomes challenging when devices suffer physical damage, motherboard faults, or power-related failures. Conventional logical and software-based extraction technique...

Reinforcement Learning in Eating Disorders: Clinical, Cognitive, and Metabolic Correlates

OBJECTIVE: Reinforcement learning has been implicated in eating disorders, but findings remain inconsistent. This study compared reinforcement learning performance in anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and healthy controls (HC) using the Probabilistic Reward Task (PRT),...

Latent profile analysis of social alienation and its influencing factors in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis

Social alienation severely impairs the mental health and quality of life of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). However, most studies conducted have been variable-centered, group-level analyses, which cannot capture inherent heterogeneity in social alienation, hin...

Decoding the hearth: micromorphology and experiment in iron age domestic fire structures (NE Iberian Peninsula)

Combustion structures documented in protohistoric settlements are considered to be defining elements of domestic spaces, and are usually associated with a culinary function. In the case of the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula during the Iron Age, the hearth is often u...

Revisiting feeling rules: how emotional labour fosters emotional capital among hospitality and tourism interns in Macao

While emotional labour is well-established in hospitality research, existing scholarship predominantly focuses on established employees, largely overlooking how organisational novices navigate professional socialisation. Specifically, how liminal cohorts like interns manipulate o...

Redox‐Mediated Ligand Exfoliation Enables High‐Density Single‐Site Molecular Catalysts for CO 2 Electroreduction

ABSTRACT Conventional strategies for fabricating single‐site electrocatalysts often suffer from metal aggregation and insufficient exposure of active sites, limiting their efficiency in CO 2 electroreduction. Here we present a redox‐mediated ligand exfoliation method to construct...

Hip Arthroscopy–Assisted Management of Pipkin Types I and II Femoral Head Fracture–Dislocations: Mid‐Term Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes

OBJECTIVES: Hip arthroscopy-assisted surgery has been proposed as a minimally invasive option for femoral head fractures; however, evidence with mid-term follow-up remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of arthroscopy-assisted managem...

Economic uncertainty, asset prices and bank credit growth: a Bayesian analysis

Purpose This study aims to examine the impact of economic uncertainty on bank credit growth globally. Specifically, it analyzes how heightened uncertainty impedes credit activities through three primary monetary policy transmission channels: credit supply, credit demand and notab...
