Globalising the access to advanced molecular diagnostics of CNS tumors: Experience of the Molecular Neuro-Pathology (MNP) Outreach Consortium

Central nervous system (CNS) tumors pose a major global health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where outcomes remain disproportionately poor. The global CONCORD-3 study (Lancet Oncology) highlighted stark disparities in five-year survival (201...

Who Believes Sexuality Myths? Sociodemographic, Motivational, and Sociocultural Predictors of Sexuality Myth Endorsement and Its Connection to Sexual Well-Being

Sexuality myths, that is, incorrect beliefs about sexuality, are argued to have individual and societal consequences. Yet we do not know who is particularly susceptible to these beliefs. Existing frameworks have centred on information deficits (e.g., due to missing sex education)...

National Couples' Health and Time Study (NCHAT) Follow-Up Study: Methodology Report

Gallup fielded the National Couples' Health and Time Follow-Up Study (Wave 2) from February 17, 2022, to April 19, 2022. It was administered to participants who completed the National Couples' Health and Time Survey (NCHAT). The original NCHAT survey covered adults between the ag...

A systematic review of geospatial and meteorological approaches to flood risk assessment and monitoring

Abstract Increasing flood frequency, exposure and impacts associated with climate change, rapid urbanisation, and environmental change have intensified the need for robust flood risk assessment and monitoring frameworks. This systematic review synthesises advances in geospatial,...

ENABLAR Lesson Development Workshop 1 (facilitation materials)

Facilitation materials for Lesson Development Workshop 1 of ENABLAR (ENABling Library and Archive participation in digital Research co-learning communities) a Jisc-funded project from Programming Historian that encourages participation and co-production to empower co-learning com...

The challenges of direct Claisen–Schmidt condensation in the synthesis of polyhydroxylated bischalcones: experimental results supported by DFT calculations

The synthesis of chalcones commonly relies on the Claisen–Schmidt condensation, an attractive reaction owing to its operational simplicity and favorable atom economy. However, its application to acetophenones bearing multiple hydroxy substituents can be problematic, often requiri...

Experimental and numerical investigation of PCM-based cylindrical heat sinks with radially oriented fins under transient high-power loads

Phase change material (PCM)-based heat sinks buffer intermittent thermal loads, but the heating-to-solidification response of cylindrical heat sinks with radially oriented fins remains insufficiently quantified. This response was characterized experimentally, while validated simu...

Insights from Germany’s Largest Diabetes Camp for Young People: Who Attends, Why, and What Do They Gain?

Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with type 1 diabetes face unique challenges in diabetes management due to hormonal fluctuations, lifestyle changes, and the transition to adult healthcare. Despite this, participation in traditional diabetes education courses is low....

Savaş Temsilinin Toprak Ana Romanı ile Piyanist Filminde Karşılaştırmalı İncelenmesi

Bu çalışma, Cengiz Aytmatov’un Toprak Ana romanı ile Roman Polanski’nin The Pianist (Piyanist) filmi üzerinden İkinci Dünya Savaşı deneyiminin edebî ve sinematografik temsillerini karşılaştırmalı olarak incelemektedir. Çalışmanın amacı; savaşın yalnızca cephede yaşanan askerî bir...

Local traditions, customary institutions and agricultural downstreaming in Agrarian communities of Prabumulih, South Sumatra

Abstract This study examines how local traditions and customary institutions shape agricultural downstreaming in agrarian communities of Prabumulih City, South Sumatra. While downstreaming is often promoted as a strategy for value addition, market integration, and rural income im...

Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Overdrainage Has Transient and Steady-State Components Strongly Dependent on Cerebroventricular Compliance: A Benchtop Experimental Study

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Using benchtop testing, we previously demonstrated that ventriculoperitoneal shunts are susceptible to chronic overdrainage, not only because of a siphoning effect but also because of intracranial pressure pulsations. These pulsations may be rhythmic (c...

Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Initial Psychometric Evaluation of the Japanese Version of the Chronic Kidney Disease Self-Efficacy Scale (CKDSE-J)

Background/Objectives: Self-efficacy is an important determinant of self-care among adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The Chronic Kidney Disease Self-Efficacy Scale (CKD-SE) is a disease-specific measure, but its use has not been reported in Japan. This study translated a...

Advances in Mental Health and Well-Being in Children (2nd Edition)

The promotion of mental health and well-being in children and adolescents is currently one of the key priorities in research, clinical practice, and public policy [...]

Boundary-consistent prospective appraisal of an unopened metro line: mobile-OD evidence from Shenzhen

Prospective metro appraisal requires evidence that supports both comparisons between alternatives and the scope of carbon claims. Using 4.82 million mobile OD records representing 159.1 million provider-inferred trips, we assess unopened Shenzhen Metro Line 17 Phase I. Seven-mode...

Room-temperature terahertz emission from N-polar GaN grating-gate high-electron-mobility transistors

Compact, electrically driven terahertz (THz) sources remain a major bottleneck for chip-scale spectroscopy, imaging and high-speed wireless links. AlGaN/GaN two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) systems have been investigated for THz emission, but experimental demonstrations have a...

Distribution of Potential Pollutants in Water and Bottom Sediments of Natural and Technogenic Limnosystems: A Case Study of the Baraba Lowland, Russia

Regional background concentrations of 10 priority potential pollutants (Hg, Cd, Zn, Pb, Cu, Cr, Co, Ni, Fe, and Mn) were established for the first time in the water and bottom sediments of 18 lakes in the Central Baraba Lowland. Comparison of natural and technogenic limnosystems...

High-Resolution Burned Area Mapping Using Sentinel-2 Imagery and Robust Satellite Techniques

High accuracy in burned area (BA) mapping is desirable for many fire-related applications. Most operational products are based on coarse-resolution satellite data with a final spatial resolution ranging from 250 m to 1000 m. The use of higher-resolution satellite data, such as th...

Phi-Scaled E8 Octahedral Chamber Invariant Theorem for Economic State Transitions — E8 Intelligence Research

I propose that the 120-element Weyl group of E8 generates an invariant "octahedral harmonic invariant" through phi-scaled reflections, where the 10 conjugacy classes map to discrete economic regime states. The 132Hz base frequency serves as a fundamental calibration linking the 2...

Energy Consumer Model Estimation Using Machine Learning

A novel utility model of the daily electricity consumption patterns of any residential unit is proposed. The model is semi-parametric—its internal parameters are tractable to straightforward interpretations from the standpoints of microeconomics as well as game theory. The model...
