Flexible cognition, perceived conflict, and self-monitoring in autism spectrum condition

Social adaptation often requires balancing interpersonal conflict with flexible responses to others’ expectations and self-monitoring. However, the mechanisms linking these processes remain unclear. This preliminary study aimed to examine whether perceived interpersonal conflict...

Reconstructing Political Finance Regulation in Indonesia’s Multiparty Democracy

This study examines how Indonesia's political party finance regulations can be redesigned to strengthen transparency and accountability in a multiparty system. Using normative legal research based on statutory and legal theory approaches, it finds that the current framework remai...

Development and psychometric validation of substance abuse prevention questionnaire based on the multi-theory model: construct validity and reliability

Substance abuse is one of the major social challenges worldwide. To address this issue, health promotion specialists are striving to overcome the limitations of existing health education models in promoting unhealthy behaviors. The relatively new Multi-Theory Model (MTM) has been...

Is self-reported daylight exposure reliable? A validation study with actigraphy in urban environments

Daylight exposure is an environmental determinant of human health, yet measuring real-world exposure at scale remains a major challenge. Large population studies frequently rely on self-reported time spent outdoors as a proxy for daylight exposure, although the validity of this m...

Awareness and educational needs regarding ultrasonography in dental education and practice among undergraduate and postgraduate dental students

This study aims to assess the level of knowledge, clinical awareness, and educational needs regarding ultrasonography (USG) among undergraduate and postgraduate dentistry students. This cross-sectional questionnaire-based study included 431 participants, comprising 231 postgradua...

Determinant model of green creative network capability of family farms: An exploration based on grounded theory

: Green Creative Network Capability (GCNC) is particularly important for addressing business-model homogenization and weak sustainability awareness among family farms in China. Existing studies on green creativity and network capability have mainly focused on corporate contexts,...

Septic arthritis of the hip caused by Streptococcus pyogenes bloodstream infection in a previously healthy adult: a case report

Pyogenic arthritis of the hip joint is a rare but serious complication of invasive Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus [GAS]) infection that may rapidly lead to joint destruction and is often difficult to diagnose early. This report describes the case of a previously he...

Sonochemically manganese doped activated carbon from Bauhinia variegata for dual energy application

Activated carbon (AC) remains a foundational electrode material in electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) owing to its high specific surface area, tunable pore structure, and robust charge–discharge cycling. The performance of EDLCs is closely linked to the physicochemic...

Tailoring the structural, photoluminescence, and electrical properties of Ag2O-borotellurite glasses via lanthanum nanoparticles doping for stable cool-white luminescent applications

Absrtract A series of La 2 O 3 -doped glasses were methodically developed to examine their structural, electrical, dielectric, and luminescent properties at room temperature. The results from Raman spectroscopy indicate a reorganisation of the network upon the introduction of La...

Arming the living drugs: nanoengineered bacteria for precision tumor theranostics

Bacteria-mediated tumor therapy exploits the innate ability of anaerobic bacteria to selectively colonize hypoxic tumor regions. However, clinical translation of this approach is hindered by three core challenges: insufficient monotherapy efficacy, the inability to non-invasively...

Tuning electron back-donation to switch reaction pathway in CO2 hydrogenation

CO2 hydrogenation over earth-abundant Ni catalysts is attractive for CO-based fuel synthesis, but Ni intrinsically favors methanation. Here we show that ordered Ni3Sn2 intermetallics tune Ni–CO electron back-donation and switch CO2 hydrogenation from CH4 formation to the reverse...

CAFs shape the immunosuppressive microenvironment of pancreatic cancer through the Lin28b-STING Axis

Cancer-associated fibroblasts comprise diverse functionally distinct cellular subsets, with certain subpopulations exerting pivotal influence in shaping the pancreatic cancer immune microenvironment. Here we show that Lin28b+ cancer-associated fibroblasts contribute to establishi...

Transcriptomic changes in tomato plants infected with ToBRFV after cold air glow discharge plasma treatment

Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is an emerging tobamovirus that poses a serious threat to global tomato production. In this study, we evaluated the potential of cold air glow discharge plasma (CAGDP) as a seed treatment to mitigate ToBRFV infection and induce systemic re...

Clinical comparison of CAD/CAM nanohybrid composite and hybrid ceramic overlays in children with molar–incisor hypomineralisation: a split-mouth prospective randomized clinical trial

OBJECTIVES: This prospective, randomized, split-mouth clinical study aimed to compare the clinical performance and survival rates of CAD/CAM-fabricated nanohybrid composite overlays (NCOs) and hybrid ceramic overlays (HCOs) produced using a digital workflow in first permanent mol...

Hierarchical ROS-scavenging hydrogel system for coordinating the modulation of RGC necroptosis and oxidative stress in an acute glaucoma model

Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness, is characterized by the progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Beyond intraocular pressure (IOP)-dependent injury, IOP-independent pathways, specifically the self-amplifying axis between oxidative stress and the nec...

Sensitivity and specificity of the CANTAB Paired Associates Learning test for identifying mild cognitive impairment

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a stage between normal cognition and dementia, and timely diagnosis of this condition offers the opportunity for effective interventions to slow down the progression to dementia. The Mini-Mental Status Exam (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Asse...

Nature and Aesthetic Transcendence: Re-reading Romantic Consciousness in Shelley and Keats

The paper examines the Romantic consciousness in a comparative analysis of nature and imagination in the poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats. Although Romanticism generally re-conceptualised nature as animate and spiritual, scholars have long recognised its diversity and...

Updated comprehensive probabilistic seismic hazard analysis of the Andaman-Nicobar and Sumatra regions

The Andaman-Sumatra subduction zone is among the most seismically active regions on Earth and has generated several great earthquakes (M w ≥ 8.0) in recent decades. This study presents an updated probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) for the Andaman-Nicobar and Sumatra r...

Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for efficient production of d-phenylglycine

d -phenylglycine (D-PHG) is a valuable building block extensively used in the synthesis of β-lactam antibiotics and other high-value pharmaceuticals. However, its conventional chemical production relies on expensive starting materials and harsh reaction conditions, while existing...

A three-metabolite microbiota-associated signature for early risk stratification of gestational diabetes mellitus

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and long-term metabolic and cardiovascular risk. However, oral glucose tolerance testing at 24–28 gestational weeks limits early risk stratification. Gut microbiota-associated metabolites may reflec...
