The Effects of Recalling Health Insurance and Health Care Experiences on Policy Attitudes

Abstract Context: Individuals' attitudes towards health policy are affected in part by their own experiences navigating the health care system. In the United States, this experience is comprised of both interactions with insurance providers and those with care providers. This stu...

Noise reduction in high-density silicon photomultipliers via passive POCl3 doping on trench

Abstract Deep trench isolation (DTI) is indispensable for suppressing crosstalk and enabling high fill factors in dense silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). However, plasma-induced sidewall defects create interface states that elevate dark count rate (DCR) and afterpulsing (AP) thro...

Hospital Administration as an Emerging Specialty for Medical Graduates in India: A Cross-Sectional Study

Introduction: Most hospitals in India are managed by senior clinicians who are not qualified in hospital administration. The role of qualified hospital administrators does not seem to be highlighted while planning human resources for healthcare services. Postgraduate seats in hos...

A Novel Approach to Characterizing Patterns of Real-World Upper-Extremity Use During Walking and Activities of Daily Living in People with Subacute Stroke

In accelerometer-based measurement, the inclusion of upper extremity (UE) activity during walking can overestimate real-world functional UE use in people post-stroke. This study introduces a comprehensive, accelerometer-based approach to examining real-world UE use, including the...

Learning with Reflection: Implementing Weekly Reflection Journals to Support Conceptual Learning in Upper-Level Undergraduate Engineering Courses

Reflection can contribute to learning, helping students actively and constructively recall material and connect it with other aspects of their lives, as described by the interactive–constructive–active–passive (ICAP) framework. For engineering students in particular, reflection m...

Development of an intelligent system for personalized clothing design based on deep learning and the internet of things

The fashion industry is experiencing a significant digital transformation driven by Deep Learning (DL) and the Internet of Things (IoT), which facilitates personalized and sustainable apparel design. Smart devices and wearable sensors collect extensive user data for tailored clot...

Conformal principal-asymptotic nets: Parametric design and modular construction of elastic gridshells

Current modular design approaches often rely on numerical optimization to satisfy fabrication constraints, which can be computationally intensive and sensitive to initial geometric conditions. This work introduces a parametric design algorithm based on Conformal Principal-Asympto...

A Prediction Score Versus Procalcitonin and Presepsin for Predicting Bacteremia in the Emergency Department: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study

Background/Objectives: Early prediction of bacteremia is clinically important in the emergency department (ED). We previously developed a prediction score using vital signs and routine blood tests. Whether procalcitonin (PCT) or presepsin (PSEP), biomarkers of bacterial infection...

Nutritional Status Enhances Honey Bee Colony Development and Soybean Yield, While Exposure to a Triple-Action Fungicide During Pollination Does Not Compromise Social Stability

Adequate nutrition is essential for honey bee colony development and may influence pollination services provided to agricultural crops. In contrast, fungicides commonly used in agriculture have been associated with physiological and behavioral alterations in individual bees, alth...

Shielding against interpersonal threat in later life: The regulatory function of nostalgia among older adults.

= 189, age 21-78 years), older adults reported greater nostalgic engagement in response to social exclusion induced by the Cyberball game than younger adults. Furthermore, after experiencing nostalgia, compared to younger adults, older adults reported increased social engagement...

Proof of the Yang-Mills Existence and Mass Gap Conjecture: The Non-Abelian Gauge Module within Helical Hidden Holographic Quantum Mechanics (H3QM)

Yang-Mills theory with non-Abelian gauge group SU(N) forms the quantum field theoretical foundation of modern elementary particle physics and Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). However, proving the global quantum existence of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on four-dimensional spacetime R^4 a...

The Magnus Matrix Tree IV: Basis-Compressed Kinetic Operators, Projected Rank-Two Transfers, and Online Selector Admission

We develop a basis-compressed operator layer for exact kinetic distance aggregation. Let x1, ..., xn be labelled coordinates in strict current order, let Cij = |xi - xj|, and fix two selector bases P in R^(n×r) and Q in R^(n×s). Rather than maintaining individual contractions, th...

Empagliflozin in GSD-Ib: Long-term safety and sustained recovery of neutrophil function including NET formation

Glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD-Ib) engenders neutropenia and severe neutrophil dysfunction, leading to recurrent infections and inflammatory complications. Recent studies have identified intracellular accumulation of 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate (1,5-AG6P) as a key mech...

Hospital-Level Variations in Outcomes and Readmissions Among Patients With STEMI and Cardiogenic Shock Receiving Mechanical Circulatory Support: Insights From a National Cohort.

BACKGROUND: The utilization of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) has increased substantially in recent years. However, it remains unclear whether the spectrum of MCS de...

Learning from the Bowl in My Living Room: A Phenomenology of Openness in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Contemporary artificial intelligence systems present themselves through the aesthetic of openness: a clean interface, a blinking cursor, an implicit invitation to bring whatever one wishes. This essay argues that this appearance conceals a structural inversion. Drawing on phenome...

Exploring Middle and High School Personnel’s Definition and Knowledge of Evidence-Based Practices for Autistic Students

Background Mandates that educators use evidence-based practices (EBP) with autistic students have not led to their widespread or consistent implementation, despite their growing availability. EBP knowledge is integral to effective implementation, and prior studies have shown that...

The Erosion of Conscience Institutions as Metastable Equilibria over an Endogenous Type-Mix

A companion paper shows that professional duty dismantles the strategic-inattention trap of an oversight model, taking a monitor’s conscience as given. This paper endogenizes it and asks whether the institution that runs on conscience tends to keep it. It does not. Careers are se...

Representation as Universal Completion: Realization Complexes, Fiberwise Consequence, and the Floor-Relative Image Problem

Abstract The unrestricted representation problem for finite dependency systems is trivial: if a regime may freely declare its coordinate domains, admitted relation, and semantics, then every finite system is realized by its own tautological presentation. This paper isolates the e...
