Job rotation: A bibliometric analysis

BACKGROUND: Job rotation is a strategic practice aimed at improving employees' health, satisfaction, and overall productivity in organizations. Its ergonomic aspects are crucial because they help balance workload, reduce ergonomic risks, and support an aging workforce. OBJECTIVE:...

Ecolinguistics in the United States

Abstract This article presents the personal narratives of five United States-based ecolinguists along with a discussion of contemporary ecolinguistics and possibilities for continued growth. The narratives illustrate the rich interdisciplinary diversity of the expanding field, as...

Inhibitory Activity on Dog Bladder Cancer Organoids by Lanostane-type Triterpenes from Inonotus obliquus and Reinvestigation of Their NMR Assignments

Abstract Dog bladder cancer organoids (DBCO) serve as a model of human muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), for which suitable human organoid models remain limited. Inonotus obliquus (Chaga) extract reportedly reduces DBCO growth, but its active constituents were unidentified....

A study to learn how well HER3-DXd (patritumab deruxtecan) works and how safe it is in people with previously treated non-small-cell lung cancer that has a mutation in the EGFR gene: a plain language summary of the HERTHENA-Lung01 study

Plain Language SummaryWhat is this summary about?This is a summary of the publication about the HERTHENA-Lung01 study, which was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in September 2023. The study included 277 adults with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that had a mutat...

Evaluation of iodine detection and quantification limits in photon-counting CT—a phantom study

Abstract Objective Clinical decisions using CT iodine maps are based on evaluation of contrast enhancement, making it essential to understand how accurately CT systems detect and quantify iodine, yet quantitative evaluations remain scarce, and few studies treat iodine as an analy...

Economic Scheduling Strategies for Climate Management in a Venlo-Type Rose Greenhouse Under Time-of-Use Tariffs and CO2 Supplementation Costs

Greenhouse cultivation plays an important role in supporting stable and high-quality horticultural production by providing controlled environmental conditions under variable outdoor climates. However, regulating temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration, and light requires substan...

Competing presynaptic protein assemblies coordinate basal neurotransmission with homeostatic plasticity

Neural circuits establish a stable basal level of synaptic transmission that is maintained throughout life. When synaptic activity is perturbed, homeostatic mechanisms restore this set point, but how neurons reconcile long-term stability and rapid compensatory plasticity remains...

Uncertainty-aware adaptive fusion with graceful degradation for trustworthy cervical cytology

Abstract Trustworthy cervical cancer screening requires not only accurate classification but also reliable estimation of predictive uncertainty to identify cases that should be referred to clinical experts. This study presents an uncertainty-aware deep learning framework that int...

The indirect effect of artificial intelligence awareness on counterproductive work behavior: A meta-analytic study

BackgroundAs artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into the workplace, an important question concerns how employees respond when technological change is perceived as threatening rather than beneficial. Prior studies have examined several mechanisms linking...

Mechanical Dynamics

This monograph establishes a rigorous mechanical framework that reinterprets classical dynamics, relativistic phenomena, and cosmological anomalies through first-principles particle matrix interactions. By substituting abstract geometric curvatures and unobserved entities with co...

Exploratory Associations of Subjective Sleep Characteristics, Psychosocial Factors, and Glycemic Control in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes

Background/Objectives: Sleep health contributes to glucose homeostasis and metabolic regulation. We explored associations between subjective sleep characteristics, glycemic control, and diabetes-related clinical factors in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods: Thi...

Overlapping knowledge regimes of the EU and China: grassroots pragmatism in Kazakhstan

Geopolitical competition is reshaping the knowledge order, which is composed of overlapping knowledge regimes. This article examines how such competition manifests in the everyday practices of academic communities in the Global South. Focusing on Kazakhstan, which participates in...

Oxidative Potential and Elemental Fingerprints of Urban and Suburban Particulate Matter in Turin

The toxicity of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) depends not only on its burden in air, but also on its chemical composition, which affects its ability to induce oxidative stress at the cellular level through reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. The oxidative potential (OP...

Effect of spray temperature on microstructure and corrosion resistance of cold-sprayed zinc coatings

Pure zinc (Zn) coatings were prepared on gray cast iron surfaces by cold spray (CS) to improve their corrosion resistance. The effects of spray temperature on deposition behavior, microstructural characteristics and corrosion performance of Zn coatings were investigated. Higher g...

How heritage experiential quality, heritage experiential value, heritage destination authenticity and escapism motivation enhance tourist behavioural intention towards World heritage tourism sites

This study examined how escapism motivation mediates the nexus between heritage experiential quality and tourist behavioural intention. The study further examined the effect of heritage destination authenticity on heritage experiential quality. Data were conveniently collected fr...

Hospitality as Living Heritage: Migrant Heritage-Making, Belonging, and the Cultural Politics of Welcome

This article conceptualizes hospitality as a form of living heritage through which migrants and refugees preserve cultural practices, negotiate belonging, and reshape relations of welcome in receiving societies. Drawing on Walker and Avant’s concept analysis approach, literature...

Comparison of Free and Bound Benzoic Acid Naturally Occurring in Vaccinium and Prunus Fruits by Ultrasound‐Assisted and Conventional Extraction Methods

ABSTRACT Benzoic acid (BA, E210) is a common food preservative and naturally occurring plant metabolite. It exists in plant tissues as free (f‐BA) and bound (b‐BA) forms. This makes accurate quantification challenging, as traditional extraction methods may underestimate total BA...

The Empathy Hierarchy: Unique Associations of Childhood Callous Unemotional Traits and Autism Spectrum Disorder Symptoms

Abstract Child conduct problems commonly co-occur with callous-unemotional (CU) traits and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which are both associated with empathy deficits; however, their unique associations are poorly understood because few studies consider the high overlap betwe...

Reclaiming agency: how women build mood, confidence and social connections during perimenopause

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to understand women's lived experiences of perimenopause, with reference to brain fog, mood, confidence and social connectedness, and identify opportunities to promote well-being. METHOD: A qualitative, exploratory study was conducted using semi-struct...

Radio Sounding Determination of Two‐Dimensional Plasma Structure Velocity

Abstract The Mars spacecraft Tianwen‐1 transmitted radio signals to Earth for its orbit determination. The frequencies of the radio signals exhibited sharp variations when an ICME passed through the Mars‐Earth signal path on 18 June 2021. These sharp variations were observed at d...
