Agenda setting in mutual fund markets: news, social media, and fund marketing in China

We analyze the effects of social attention on investment behavior. Using an original dataset covering 3,782 funds and over 240,000 news articles, we show that media attention, separated into traditional news media and social media, is associated with greater fund visibility and n...

Development and reproducible description of a multimodal physiotherapy intervention for pelvic floor health: a methodological report

Female pelvic floor disorders are frequently managed through interventions focused on pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). However, pelvic floor function is increasingly recognised as being influenced by the interaction between breathing, posture, movement, and lumboabdominopelvi...

Affordances and Challenges of GenAI Feedback in Primary Students’ Scientific Drawing

GenAI can be a potential tool to facilitate students’ scientific practices through automated and real-time feedback. Yet, it is unknown how to design effective GenAI feedback to facilitate students’ progress in scientific practices, particularly at a primary age. In our study, we...

Too warm to play: temperature selectively constrains social behaviour in the Alpine marmot, Marmota marmota

Temperature is an important abiotic factor constraining animal physiology, yet its impact on social dynamics remains largely unexplored in wild endotherms. Here, we investigated the effect of temperature on social interactions of Alpine marmots, a cooperative breeder highly adapt...

Tobacco intercropping with Allium crops reshapes soil microbiome–metabolome interactions and improves plant health and tobacco leaf quality

Intercropping systems play important roles in improving soil conditions, enhancing crop performance and suppressing soil-borne diseases. However, the mechanisms by which tobacco– Allium intercropping regulates soil microecology, tobacco growth and leaf quality remain insufficient...

Identification and phenotypic profiling of subgroups with distinct cognitive aging trajectories

Cognitive aging is shaped by genetic variation, environmental factors, and health-related conditions. Until now, it is largely unclear why some individuals maintain their cognitive function, and others show progressive cognitive decline. This study uncovered determinants of disti...

A dual role of PIEZO2 in neuropathic pain: driving peripheral sensitization and enabling mechanical loading-induced analgesia

Mechanotherapy, a form of mechanical loading (ML), effectively relieves tactile allodynia-associated neuropathic pain by targeting sensitization points stimulated by PIEZO2, a mechanosensitive ion channel. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying peripheral sensitization and...

A Topology-Aware Mixed Finite-Element Formulation for Flux-Free Beltrami Modes in an Annular-Cylinder Domain

Version 1.1 adds the boundary-trace justification and direct source-level verification of the discrete boundary construction. This technical note reports a reproducible five-mesh numerical study of flux-free signed Beltrami modes on an annular-cylinder domain with solid-torus top...

Contribution of the Strain Rate to the Generation of Residual Stresses During Deep Rolling and Machine Hammer Peening

Deep rolling and machine hammer peening are widely applied mechanical surface treatments for improving the fatigue performance of high-strength materials by introducing compressive residual stresses and modifying the near-surface material state. Despite their industrial relevance...

Neural voice activity detection with ECoG correlation structure using a chronically implanted BCI in an individual with ALS

Chronically implanted brain-computer interfaces (BCI) for speech have demonstrated restoration of speech communication for people with severe motor impairment. Yet maintaining stable long-term performance remains a translational challenge. We investigated whether correlation and...

In-Situ anchoring of amorphous NixB nanoparticles onto Nb2CTx MXene nanosheets for high-performance asymmetric supercapacitors

An amorphous nickel boride/niobium carbide MXene (Ni x B/Nb 2 CT x ) composite was designed and synthesized via a combined HF-assisted etching and in-situ chemical reduction strategy. The uniform anchoring of 0D Ni x B nanoparticles within the multilayered Nb 2 CT x nanosheets le...

Rethinking perioperative neurocognitive risk reduction in older surgical patients: mobility-preserving analgesia, early mobilization, and multidisciplinary care

Perioperative neurocognitive risk in older surgical patients may be influenced not only by intraoperative anesthetic management, but also by postoperative factors that are modifiable, including pain, opioid exposure, immobility, and delayed rehabilitation. Large randomized trials...

Green synthesis for production of chromium(III) oxide nanoparticles in fine powder

In this paper, a green synthesis method for chromium(III) oxide nanoparticles (Cr 2 O 3 NPs) is presented. The proposed route utilizes weed biomass as a reducing agent to produce a solid solution that readily precipitates as a fine powder of Cr₂O₃ nanoparticles. The synthesized C...

Early detection of foot rot on sweet potato based on auto-fluorescence of phytoalexin

Sweet potato foot rot is difficult to detect at the pre-symptomatic stage because visible symptoms are minimal or absent, whereas conventional approaches are often destructive or unsuitable for rapid screening. In this study, a UV fluorescence imaging workflow was developed for p...

Digital autopsy teaching in pathology: Addressing overlooked gaps in implementation and evaluation

I read with great interest the recent article by Wraith et al. on the development of a narrated video autopsy for medical students.1 The authors present an innovative approach to address declining exposure to autopsy in undergraduate training. While this work provides valuable in...

Seizures are associated with cognitive disengagement syndrome, incoordination, and low IQ in child ADHD and autism samples

This is the first study comparing children with and without seizures in a large clinical sample and examining differences in diagnoses, IQ, neuropsychological and achievement test scores, and psychological problems. Mothers rated 2,212 children (4-17 years) with autism and/or ADH...

Topological Analytical Mechanics: The Global-Realist Replacement of Point-Particle, Memoryless Mechanics by Finite-Core, Sector-Resolved, and Historically Coupled Dynamics

We reconstruct analytical mechanics from exactly three physical axioms: microscopic ontic definiteness and finite localization, physical reality of the spacetime-vacuum substrate, and persistent causal source–response coupling. Material bodies are represented not as structureless...

Multi-criteria decision support in climate policy: a decade-long systematic literature review following the Paris Agreement: Bibliographic inventory and methodological classification

This dataset contains the complete bibliographic inventory and methodological classification of all peer-reviewed journal articles assessed as part of a systematic literature review of climate-related multi-criteria decision-making studies published in 2016-2025 and retrieved via...

Topological–Disturbance-Field Fluid Mechanics: An Axiomatic Reconstruction from Global Realism, Corrected Kinetic Theory, and Memory-Extended Continuum Dynamics

We present a closed topological–disturbance-field reconstruction of fluid mechanics from three physical axioms: the reality of a spacetime-vacuum substrate, the existence of finite topological material carriers, and persistent causal coupling between carrier motion and retarded d...

Topological Optics from Global Realism: A Three-Axiom Reconstruction of Photon Genesis, Causal Propagation, Matter Response, and Classical–Quantum–Nonlinear Optical Dynamics

Abstract We construct topological optics as the optical sector of global realism from three foundational axioms: microscopic ontic definiteness, the physical and causal reality of the spacetime-vacuum substrate, and persistent coupling between every localized matter excitation an...
