Organisational ethical climate and nurses’ work performance: A cross-sectional analysis of the indirect association through job crafting

Background Organisational ethical climate is relevant to nursing practice and employee outcomes, but its association with nurses’ work performance has received limited attention, particularly in relation to job crafting. Objective To examine the associations between organisationa...

Agentic Orchestration: A Process-Level Governance Construct for AI-Enabled Organisational Decision Processes — Definition, Architecture, and a Measurement-Development Protocol

AbstractArtificial intelligence now participates in managerial decisions by generating options, ranking alternatives, and shaping professional judgment. Research explains delegation, reliance, automation, accountability, and human oversight, but treats these elements largely sepa...

Improvising Survival Without Guarantees: A Constructivist Grounded Theory of Attitudes Toward Aging Among Middle-Aged Gay Men in Cebu City, Philippines

This study developed a substantive grounded theory explaining how middle-aged gay men in Cebu City, Philippines, construct their attitudes toward aging. Using constructivist grounded theory methodology, 12 middle-aged gay men aged 35 to 50 were recruited through purposive and the...

Maleic Anhydride-Modified Lignin Reinforced Multi-Crosslinked Composite Coating for High Wet Strength and Recyclable Paper

Abstract Plant fiber-based paper is renewable and biodegradable but suffers from poor water resistance and weak wet mechanical properties. To overcome these challenges, a CPML-Fe coating system was developed, which comprises a composite coating made from carboxymethyl cellulose (...

Liddicoatite, Ca(Li2Al)Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3OH, a rare, long-anticipated OH-dominant species of the tourmaline supergroup

Abstract Liddicoatite, ideally Ca(Li2Al)Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3OH, is a new mineral species of the tourmaline supergroup and the OH-dominant analogue of fluor-liddicoatite. The name liddicoatite was originally applied to a species that was subsequently renamed fluor-liddicoatite f...

Physicochemical, Rheological, and Sensory Characterization of Gluten-Reduced Cookies Enriched with Amaranth and Chickpea Flours

The global transition toward plant-based diets necessitates the development of sustainable, nutritionally enriched, and gluten-reduced bakery products. This study evaluated the techno-functional, nutritional, and sensory impacts of substituting wheat flour at levels of 30%, 50%,...

Comparison of Patiromer and Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate for Chronic Hyperkalemia in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study

Chronic hyperkalemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often limits the use of vital renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi). This prospective cohort study compared the efficacy and safety of patiromer (n=40) versus sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) (...

Visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio is a time-stable predictor of survival and toxicity in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract Purpose Nutritional status significantly impacts the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Computed tomography (CT) has become a key tool for assessing body composition (BC), with abnormal patterns increasingly linked to reduced survival. However, BC...
