Development and preliminary psychometric evaluation of the postpartum sexual and reproductive health questionnaire (PSRHQ) in Iranian women

Abstract The postpartum period is a critical phase in a woman’s life. This study aimed to develop and psychometrically evaluate a questionnaire designed to assess sexual and reproductive health among postpartum women. This exploratory sequential mixed-method study was conducted i...

Uric acid-to-albumin ratio and all-cause mortality in dilated cardiomyopathy: a cohort-based prognostic analysis

Abstract Background Nutritional and metabolic abnormalities may contribute to adverse outcomes in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The uric acid-to-albumin ratio (UAR), derived from two routinely measured biochemical parameters, may reflect this broader systemic burden. This study e...

What Factors Drive Female Surgeons to Change Jobs or Leave Medicine Altogether?

OBJECTIVE: To explore reasons female surgeons change jobs or leave medicine entirely. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Only a quarter of physicians in surgical specialties are female. Identifying reasons for career dissatisfaction is crucial to improve retention. METHODS: An anonymous...

Structure-Stress Engineering for Controllable Integration of ZnO Nanowires in Gated Field Emitter Arrays

Gated field-emission arrays (FEAs) based on nanowires have significant applications in vacuum microelectronic devices. Controllable integration of nanowires in microstructures is a key issue to be solved in gated FEAs. Structural design is a general strategy for stress redistribu...

Ω⁴-UNIFIED v80.0: Review — Eight Ω-Worlds, the Membrane Picture, and the Topological Origin of Physics (Parts I–IV)

[English version] Ω⁴-UNIFIED v80.0 — Review Article (Parts I–IV) is a comprehensive overview of the working hypothesis that the topology of a Calabi–Yau manifold (Tian–Yau / Z₃) generates the structure of physics: from particle masses to cosmological parameters and quantum gravit...

Mortality and kidney outcomes in ANCA-associated vasculitis: determinants from a real-world cohort

Abstract Introduction: ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a heterogeneous disease associated with substantial morbidity and mortality; however, data integrating both mortality and kidney outcomes within real-world cohorts remain limited. Objective: To evaluate mortality and kidn...

Architecting Anode Current Collectors for Practical Anode-Free Alkali Metal Batteries

Anode-free alkali metal batteries (AFAMBs) are emerging as a compelling strategy to surpass the cell-level energy density limits of Li-ion batteries while simplifying battery configuration. In these systems, the working anode forms in situ on a bare current collector and is conti...

Teachers' Perceptions, Collaborative Efforts, and Implementation Strategies in Inclusive Education

This study examined teachers’ perceptions of inclusive education, collaborativeefforts, and strategies for strengthening inclusive practices. A quantitative descriptivecorrelational research design was employed involving 72 teaching personnel, includingKindergarten to Grade 6 tea...

The Administrative Sublime: Institutional Horror, Necropolitical Governance, and the Ballardian Imagination in Thomas L. Vaultonburg's Necromancers Don't Read Toe Tags Copy title

This satirical work of literary criticism examines institutional horror, bureaucratic authority, and the manufacture of moral legitimacy in J. G. Ballard's High-Rise (1975), Cocaine Nights (1996), Super-Cannes (2000), and Millennium People (2003), alongside Thomas L. Vaultonburg'...

Estimating the Starling equation parameters in living humans by using volume kinetic analysis

Abstract The transcapillary filtration of fluid is governed by the Starling forces. The purpose of the present study was to simultaneously estimate all Starling parameters in living humans by using likelihood mathematics. First, the capillary filtration was estimated by volume ki...

Thiol Deodorization Using Cu(II)/Ag(I)-Metal–Organic Gel-Based Photocatalyst in a Coiled Flow Inverter: Experimental and CFD Insights

Abstract The combination of photochemistry and flow chemistry enables substantial improvement in reaction efficiency. By adopting this approach, the study focuses on the treatment of malodorous volatile thiols that pose serious environmental and health concerns due to their low o...

Verkehrs- und Mobilitätsgerechtigkeit als theoretisch-konzeptionelle Grundlage für die Analyse von Erreichbarkeiten

„Accessibility“ is often reduced within classical transport research to its indicator function for measuring spatial relations and patterns. This creates the impression that the focus lies on measurements of socially and spatially differentiated access to specific opportunities w...

Design and in silico evaluation of PV-GNProtecta: an mRNA multi-epitope vaccine candidate against Puumala virus using immunoinformatics and structural analysis

Abstract Puumala virus (PUUV), the principal causative agent of nephropathia epidemica (NE), poses a significant public health threat due to its zoonotic transmission, renal complications, and the lack of an approved vaccine. In this study, an immunoinformatics-driven mRNA multi-...

Directional Nanoparticle Migration Driven by Mobility Gradient in Glassy Polymers
