Exploring the relationship among pedagogical leadership, dignity, quiet quitting, and motivation in education

This study examines how pedagogical leadership relates to teachers’ dignity, motivation, and quiet quitting, a gradual form of psychological and behavioral withdrawal shaped by the leadership, relational, and motivational conditions teachers experience at school. Although pedagog...

Comparing Temporal Averaging and Transformer Encoders for Video-Based Cattle Behavior Classification Under Severe Class Imbalance

Automated cattle behavior monitoring from video is challenging due to severe class imbalance and the need for efficient temporal modeling. We compared four architectures on 542 videos containing standing, lying down, and rumination; rumination appeared only six times, while two d...

Regime-Dependent Effectiveness of Spectral Nudging in WRF–Chem: Meteorological and Saharan Dust Skill over the Central Mediterranean

Regional WRF–Chem dust simulations may require continuous integrations when state continuity is scientifically important, yet extended limited-area runs can depart dynamically from the driving analysis. We use a two-tier controlled design that separates dynamical attribution from...

Polymer-derived SiOC ceramic composites with surface-tuned ZrB 2 for broadband electromagnetic wave absorption

The demanding operational environments of advanced aerospace vehicles urgently require electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials that simultaneously possess broad bandwidth and exceptional high-temperature stability. ZrB 2 exhibits great potential as an EMW absorber due to i...

Multiple Jobholding and Earnings Differences Among Direct Care Workers

While the aging population increasingly relies on direct care workers—personal care aides, home health aides, and nursing assistants—insufficient income drives many of these workers to acquire second jobs. Using the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), we evaluate t...

Pulse-Generation Maps in External-Cavity Semiconductor Lasers with Short-Delay Optical Feedback

We investigate pulse generation in external-cavity semiconductor lasers subject to short-delay optical self-feedback using a deterministic quadrature-based delay-differential model. High-resolution pulse-generation maps are constructed in the (lg(C),ϕf) parameter space, where lg(...

On Regularity via h-Open Sets

We investigate regularity properties defined by means of h-open sets, with systematic use of the associated topology τh=hO(X). In this framework, h-regularity separates points from τ-closed sets by τh-open sets, whereas strong h-regularity is precisely ordinary regularity of (X,τ...

Who wants to Japa, why and where? Developmental idealism, migration aspirations, and destination choice among Nigerian youth

This study investigates how young Nigerians evaluate development and how such evaluations relate to migration intentions and destination preferences. Although economic hardship, unemployment, and other structural constraints are important drivers of migration aspirations, they do...

High internal load but low power output in indoor cycling classes

While several studies have described the internal load of indoor cycling, only three have assessed pedaling power, all under simulated conditions or with participants aware of the outcomes. The present study analyzed internal and external load during real indoor cycling classes c...

Exploring Understanding and Experience of Responsibilities for Marginalised Fieldworkers’ Safety and Wellbeing with Recommendations for more Inclusive Approaches

Abstract Fieldwork is an important component of research at higher education institutions (HEIs). Fieldworkers often find themselves in challenging physical or social environments, and those with marginalised characteristics or with intersecting marginalised characteristics can f...

Structure–property relationships in a cobalt(II) sulfonamide complex: crystallographic, Hirshfeld surface, spectroscopic, docking and antibacterial investigations

Sulfonamide-based metal complexes remain of interest because metal coordination can modify their electronic structure and biological properties. A cobalt(II) complex, bis[4-aminobenzenesulfonamide]bis(dimethylformamide)diaqua-cobalt(II) nitrate (Co-ABS-DMF), was synthesized and i...

Systemic RVX ‐208 Attenuates Experimental Periodontitis Through Inflammatory Host Modulation

AIMS: This study investigated whether systemic treatment of RVX-208, a selective BET protein inhibitor, could ameliorate experimental periodontitis in a prophylactic setting and examined transcriptomic changes associated with RVX-208 in vitro. METHODS: Porphyromonas gingivalis (P...

Worsening heart failure is not a single endpoint: a severity-gradient perspective from digoxin in rheumatic heart disease

Abstract The composite of cardiovascular or all-cause death and worsening heart failure (WHF) has become the principal efficacy endpoint of heart failure trials. Yet WHF is not one event: it spans outpatient oral-diuretic escalation, urgent intravenous-diuretic visits, hospitalis...

Interactive effects of ocean warming and higher irradiances on the Southern Ocean diatom Pseudo-nitzschia subcurvata

Abstract Diatoms are the dominant primary producers south of the Antarctic Polar Front (~60°S) and play a central role in Southern Ocean food webs and the biological carbon pump. Although models project that climate change will enhance primary productivity in the Southern Ocean,...

Infrastructure as a Socialising Tool: China’s Silk Road Economic Belt in Central Asia

This article examines China’s Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) as a tool for regional security cooperation in Central Asia. The study employs the nascent Regional Security Complex framework to argue that China uses SREB projects to socialise Central Asian Republics into accepting B...

Red Light‐Gated Charge Transfer Enables Trace Oxygen Response in Dye‐Sensitized TiO 2 –Carbon Nanotube Hybrids

ABSTRACT Light offers a powerful means of activating materials with spatial and temporal precision. However, translating excited‐state processes into chemically responsive electronic function in conductive solids remains challenging, particularly under low‐energy red illumination...

Dual-Indicator Imaging Characterization of Luster in Chinese Freshwater Nucleated Pearls: Surface Luminance and Interference Color

Pearl luster is commonly assessed by expert visual grading, which is subjective and may show limited interlaboratory reproducibility. We developed a dual-indicator imaging method for Chinese freshwater nucleated pearls using surface luminance and interference color. Ninety pearls...

Blood footwear impression depletion: comparative morphological and biochemical analysis of continuous and interrupted partial-drying transfer sequences

Abstract Blood-bearing footwear impressions represent an important source of information in Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA), yet the dynamics of blood depletion during consecutive walking sequences remain poorly characterized. This proof-of-concept pilot study compared two bloo...

Air-processed Cs3Bi2I9 polycrystalline film and self-powered photodetector

As a prototypical bismuth-based perovskite material, Cs 3 Bi 2 I 9 exhibits notable advantages including low toxicity and excellent environmental stability, rendering it a highly promising candidate for optoelectronic applications. However, the precise crystallization control of...
