Patients’ perceptions of male and female nursing interns in Guangdong and Guangxi, Southern China

Nursing remains female-dominated globally, with gender stereotypes hindering workforce diversity. Male nurses account for 2% to 5% of China’s nursing workforce, and Guangdong/Guangxi lack studies on patients’ perceptions of male nursing interns. This study aims to explore relatio...

Success Scale: Aspects of reliability and validity of a new 17-item scale assessing factors of importance for success

In this article, we examine the psychometric properties of a newly developed instrument designed to measure success. The Success Scale was created to provide a practical and efficient tool for large-group administration, with a straightforward structure that is easy to implement...

On Height Bounds on Diophantine Curves and Smale's 5th Problem

This preprint provides an exhaustive 9-page mathematical monograph on Smale's 5th Problem (Steve Smale, 2000), dedicated to the effective height bounds on rational solutions of Diophantine algebraic curves of genus g ≥ 2. In 1983, Gerd Faltings proved the celebrated Mordell Conje...

What kind of brain strengthens the entrepreneurial creativity–intention link? Evidence from frontal alpha asymmetry

Abstract Small business creation and self-employment depend critically on individuals’ motivation to pursue entrepreneurial entry under uncertainty. While prior research consistently shows that entrepreneurial creativity enhances entrepreneurial intention, substantial heterogenei...

Process‐Informed Multiscale Prediction of Nonlinear Compressive Behavior in Direct Compounded Compression Molded Short Fiber Composite Lattice Structures

ABSTRACT Direct compounded compression molding (DCCM) offers an efficient route for producing SFRTP lattice structures, but predicting their nonlinear compressive behavior is challenging due to spatially heterogeneous fiber orientations from the molding process. This study presen...

Alpha and beta event-related synchronization as neural markers of self-other processing during sensorimotor coordination

Interpersonal synchrony requires continuously balancing internally generated timing predictions with externally driven adjustments to a partner's behavior. Neural oscillations in alpha and beta bands have been implicated in prediction processes during joint action, yet their role...

Real-World Therapy with Eravacycline for Complex Infections Caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Pathogens with a Focus on Patients with Severe Burns

The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical outcomes in patients with complex infections caused by carbapenem-resistant pathogens who were treated with eravacycline (ERV) containing regimens. A retrospective chart review was conducted at Hospital St. Georg in Leipzig,...

Customer-level factors associated with discretionary food and beverage purchasing in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community stores in remote Australia: a customer intercept survey of Healthy Stores 2020

Abstract Background Healthy Stores 2020 (HS2020), a 12-week randomised controlled trial conducted in partnership with an Aboriginal-owned retail organisation, reduced retailer merchandising and store-level purchases of unhealthy foods. Evidence on the influence of customer-level...

Institutional Continuity Infrastructure: A Formal Model from Governing Meaning to Provable Machine Consequence

Agentic systems increasingly cross institutional boundaries by initiating payments, changing records, granting access, deploying code, and producing outputs on which organizations rely. Authorization, policy evaluation, runtime monitoring, provenance, conformance checking, and au...

Development and internal validation of a machine learning-based clinical prediction model for liver metastasis in stage III–IV non-small cell lung cancer

Liver metastasis is among the major determinants of prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and early identification of high-risk patients has direct implications for clinical management. We retrospectively enrolled 849 patients with stage III–IV NSCLC and split them 8:2...

Evaluation of Two Methods for Decellularizing Human Amniotic Membranes for Use in Tissue Engineering

Background: The human amniotic membrane (hAM) is widely used in tissue engineering due to its low immunogenicity and extracellular matrix (ECM) rich in structural proteins; in this context, decellularization aims to remove cellular components while preserving tissue integrity, an...

Punk songs of the sea: Shanties, the politics of participation and pedagogies of resistance in popular music education

The resurgence of sea shanties in popular music and culture has been mostly visible through social media during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has renewed interest in these maritime work songs as a participatory and collaborative endeavour. In this article, I examine the sea shanty as...

Deciphering the development of synovial joints in the limbs: Recent discoveries and clinical implications

Abstract The synovial joints are essential for skeletal function and dexterity and do so by virtue of their components and structure. The capsule protects and insulates the joint from the surrounding environment, articular cartilage provides mechanical resilience and endurance, t...

PpTOR, a Major Factor Associated with Phytophthora parasitica Virulence, Serves as a Candidate RNAi Target for Disease Control

Phytophthora parasitica is a devastating oomycete pathogen that causes significant crop losses worldwide. Identifying master regulators of its virulence is crucial for the development of novel control strategies. Here, we demonstrate that the conserved eukaryotic kinase TOR (targ...

Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture via Selmer Complexes and Iwasawa Theory

This document presents a work on the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) conjecture for elliptic curves defined over ℚ. By employing the theory of Selmer complexes in the sense of Nekovář over the cyclotomic ℤ p-extension ℚ∞/ℚ, we prove the Main Conjecture of Iwasawa Theory for ellip...

A Review of Internal Flow Fields in High-Pressure Common Rail Injector Nozzles

High-pressure common rail injector nozzles are key components of the fuel-injection system in modern diesel engines. The internal flow state and nozzle-exit flow characteristics directly affect fuel atomization, fuel–air mixing, and combustion performance. This article adopts a s...

Carbon Footprint Inventory and Sectoral Emission Analysis of Government Ministries in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria

Climate change remains a major environmental concern, while information on carbon emissions from public-sector institutions in developing regions remains limited. This study assessed the carbon footprint and emission contributions of selected government ministries and canteens in...

Discovery of Ro 41‐0960, a Non‐Steroidal Inhibitor of the Na + /K + ‐ATPase

The Na + /K + ‐ATPase (NKA) is a central regulator of cardiac ion homeostasis and a validated target for heart failure. Yet, cardiotonic steroids used in clinical practice are limited by a narrow therapeutic window and pro‐arrhythmic effects. Here, we identify Ro 41‐0960 as a non...
