Understanding the Individual-Level Consequences of Strikes: A Systematic Review and Future Research Directions

Strikes are a recurring workplace phenomenon that affects strikers, their families, and managers, but also others such as commuters. To date, studies examining individual-level effects of strikes have been scattered across different fields of study. This systematic literature rev...

Long-term Safety and Efficacy of Dazukibart in Dermatomyositis: Combined Phase 2 Results from Double-blind and Open-Label Extension Studies

Objective To evaluate long-term safety and efficacy of dazukibart, a novel anti-interferon beta monoclonal antibody, in adults with moderate-to-severe dermatomyositis (DM). Methods Participants from two cohorts of DM (skin-predominant, SP and muscle-predominant, MP), completing a...

Evaluating Cyber-Threat Awareness and Human Vulnerability Across the Public Sector and Civil Society

Effective cybersecurity focuses less on overall risk averages and more on identifying an organization'smost vulnerable links. Assessing individual user behavior and susceptibility provides a criticalbenchmark for security policies and training programs. Managing human-centric ris...

Evaluation of recombinant TgGRA14 as a diagnostic antigen for detection of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in cattle

Toxoplasma gondii ( T. gondii ) a widespread zoonotic parasite infecting various host species. Since cattle serve as major intermediate hosts for T. gondii , giving a significant public health concern, developing effective diagnostic tools is essential. This study evaluated the s...

Understanding the impact of meeting performance measures on the outcomes of joint replacement in rheumatoid arthritis: a population-based study in British Columbia, Canada

Objective Canadian performance measures (PMs) evaluate the quality of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) care; however limited evidence exists linking these process measures to long-term patient outcomes. This research evaluated the impact of meeting PMs in early RA on 10-year risk of tot...

The relationship between physical exercise and social media addiction among Chinese university students: a random intercept cross-lagged panel model analysis

In the digital era, Social Media Addiction has emerged as a prominent issue affecting the mental health of university students. Despite evidence linking physical exercise to lower Social Media Addiction, it remains unknown whether within-person changes in physical exercise actual...

The Power of Heritage Norms: Bridging Critical Heritage Theory and Norm Circle Theory

ABSTRACT This article brings Norm Circle Theory (NCT) into dialogue with Critical Heritage Theory (CHT) to examine normative authority in the heritage field. Although strands of CHT that draw on discourse analysis and assemblage approaches illuminate the ideological formations sh...

Astrocyte lipid metabolism in brain health and neurodegeneration: from regulatory hub to maladaptive stressor

Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases are increasingly recognized as multicellular pathologies in which astrocytes serve as active determinants of disease onset and progression. Central to the regulatory role of astrocytes is the precise and dynamic control of brain lipid homeostas...

De Novo Computational Design of DARPin Binders Targeting FcεRI Alpha Chain Domain 2 via Structure-Guided Sequence Optimisation, Multi-Seed Deep Learning Prediction and Interfacial Thermodynamic Validation

Abstract Background: Computational design of targeted protein binders against cell-surface receptorsremains a critical frontier in therapeutics and biotechnology. The high-affinity IgE receptoralpha chain (FcεRI) mediates the allergic inflammatory cascade by binding immunoglobuli...

Transient recovery voltage for load current switching test of MV load break switch

Switchgear manufacturers and type testing laboratories conduct the active load-current switching test of MV interrupter switches (load break switch or disconnector) following the guidelines of either the IEEE or IEC standards. However, the testing guidelines defined by these two...

MicroRNA expression profiling in fowl adenovirus serotype 4-infected Leghorn male hepatoma cells using small RNA deep sequencing

Fowl adenovirus serotype 4 ( FAdV-4 ) is the causative agent of hydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome ( HHS ), a disease that causes severe economic losses to the global poultry industry. MicroRNAs ( miRNAs ) are key regulators of host–pathogen interactions; yet, their temporal exp...

Beyond the Prosci Hype: A Pragmatic Decision-Support Framework for Selecting Change Management Methodologies

Project management methodologies have long been the subject of structured comparison and selection frameworks (PMBOK®, PRINCE2®, ISO 21502, PM²). Yet, change management — the human and organizational counterpart of any transformation — remains surprisingly under-framed. Organizat...

Matters of care in transportation: Addressing disabling environments in the movement for care-full transitions

Urban scholars are increasingly calling for greater attention to care, as both a practice and ethic, in response to socio-environmental issues. In the urban transportation literature, care has helped to underscore uneven mobility patterns and the need for inclusive planning frame...

Temporal-spatial reasoning over hypergraph knowledge structures for multimodal retrieval-augmented generation

Abstract Existing graph-based retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems represent knowledge with binary relations and rely primarily on semantic similarity for retrieval. This design struggles with multimodal queries requiring temporal constraints, spatial relationships, or hi...

SYSTEM EVOLUTION PROPOSALS (rlab #30) — E8 Intelligence Research

- Add a pipeline to extract and measure geometric angles and radii from manuscript images automatically. - Integrate a 15th-century ephemeris database for cross-referencing astronomical claims with diagram features. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part...

Mapping Net-Zero Technologies Through Web Scraping: Evidence from Italian Corporate Websites

Abstract The Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) is a key initiative of the European Union aimed at accelerating the green transition and strengthening the EU’s clean-tech industrial base. However, the adoption of net-zero technologies across firms, sectors and regions remains largely u...
