Introducing and Institutionalizing the Projection Lantern into University Teaching in England and Scotland (1880-1914)*

While historians of the optical lantern in academic teaching at universities have rarely discussed the financial aspects of slide lectures, departmental funding was critical in accommodating the projected image as a teaching tool in the service of this educational project. Betwee...

Economic and behavioural policy coupling has divergent effects on electric vehicle adoption at individual and system scales

Abstract Policy mixes are key to accelerating low-carbon transitions. Yet, how combined policies impact electric vehicle (EV) adoption decisions and scale up to system-level diffusion remains unclear. Here we combine individual-level and system-level analyses to investigate how a...

Corporate Sustainability, Environmental and Financial Performance in Emerging Markets: An Empirical Approach from the Colombian Manufacturing Industry

<ns5:p>Background Sustainability has become an important component of corporate strategy, especially in manufacturing industries. However, the literature has not reached a consensus on the relationship between investments in environmentally friendly forms of production and firm p...

Burned Area Evidence for Process-Sensitive Post-Fire Hydrogeomorphic Monitoring Across Mediterranean and Iberian–Atlantic Regions

In operational terms, post-fire landscapes require monitoring priorities that reflect hydrogeomorphic susceptibility rather than burned extent alone. This study tests whether European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) burned area evidence, combined with open terrain, rainfal...

Identification of a three-gene prognostic signature associated with tumor immune characteristics in lung adenocarcinoma: A comprehensive analysis of multi-omics data

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy with substantial differences in clinical outcomes and therapeutic responses. However, robust molecular signatures integrating prognostic stratification with tumor biological and immune characteristics remain limited....

Manipulating prior causal beliefs affects the formation of apparent causal illusions

Non-contingent learning data can produce an apparent “illusory” or “false” perception of causality (“causal illusion”), especially if a potential cause and effect frequently co-occur — a phenomenon known as the “outcome-density bias.” In contrast to the prominent bias view, Bayes...

Prediction of genetic merit in Beetal goats using machine learning algorithms

Context Accurate early prediction of growth traits is essential for guiding selection decisions and accelerating genetic improvement in livestock. In Beetal goats, 6-month body weight is an important indicator of future performance, yet estimating its genetic merit traditionally...

Professional bodies: how best to promote and support individuals working in human genetics and genomics

Professional bodies are dedicated to the advancement of the knowledge and practice of professions through developing, supporting, regulating and promoting professional standards for technical and ethical competence [ 1 ]. They seek to maximise the public benefit of the work under...

Patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms referred to the palliative care teams of tertiary care centers: a multicenter retrospective descriptive study

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) can be divided into well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors and poorly differentiated carcinomas (NETs and NECs, respectively). Although the incidence of NENs is increasing globally, reports on palliative care in affected populations are scarce....

Biomolecular condensates as dynamic regulators of musculoskeletal homeostasis, disease, and therapeutic challenges

Abstract Biomolecular condensates are membraneless assemblies that concentrate proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules into dynamic cellular compartments. Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is one important route by which such condensates form, particularly when multiv...

Surgical Management of Post-tuberculous Spinal Deformity in Adults: A Case Series Report from a Nigerian Tertiary Orthopaedic Centre

Abstract Post-tuberculous spinal deformity remains an important cause of chronic morbidity following healed spinal tuberculosis, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Residual kyphosis may result in persistent pain, sagittal imbalance, cosmetic deformity and late neur...

Association of Tumour Necrosis Factor-Alpha with Periodontitis Patients in North Indian Population

Abstract Background: Periodontitis is a chronic multifactorial disease influenced by genetic susceptibility. Identifying genetic markers may facilitate early detection and improved risk assessment. Aim: To evaluate the association between tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) gene...

Luteinising Hormone-to-follicle-stimulating Hormone Ratio for Predicting Unexplained Infertility in Patients with Hypovitaminosis D

BACKGROUND: Hypovitaminosis D critically influences reproductive hormones in women of reproductive age. The luteinising hormone (LH)/follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio predicts poor ovulatory response. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation between the LH/FSH ratio and hypo...

Microfluidic Cytotongue system enables early, label-free detection of CAR-T–induced mechanical softening in tumor spheroids

Quantitative assessment of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) activity in solid tumors remains challenging, as immune engagement can induce early mechanical softening of tumor spheroids before overt cell death becomes detectable. To address this limitation, we developed Cytotong...

Millimeter-thick microsupercapacitors with linear thickness-scaling of energy and power densities via multilayer electron highway architecture

The relentless miniaturization of microelectronics demands energy storage systems with ultrahigh energy and power densities in ultracompact footprints. Microsupercapacitors (MSCs) are promising due to their rapid charge-discharge capabilities, but conventional electrode architect...

Perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted, laparoscopic or thoracoscopic, and open surgery across 13 cancer operations: a single-institution cohort of 36,208 cases

Abstract To compare perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted surgery, video-assisted (laparoscopic or thoracoscopic) surgery and open surgery across 13 oncologic procedure groups, because aggregate technology-level comparison is confounded by procedure mix and by the calendar tim...

Technological pathways in tribal art: transformations of livelihood and gender among the Gond of Central India

Abstract Technology has become a decisive force reshaping the practices, livelihoods, and identities of indigenous artists. Gond paintings, once confined to the walls and floors of homes in Central India, now circulate globally through exhibitions, digital marketplaces, and onlin...

Trends in Diarrhea-associated Mortality in Children Less Than 5 Years of Age in the United States, 2005–2024

BACKGROUND: The introduction of rotavirus vaccines in the United States in 2006 and 2008 has had large impacts on reducing rotavirus- and diarrhea-associated healthcare utilization. We evaluated changes in diarrhea-associated mortality from 2005 to 2024 among children 1-59 months...
