Current Status of Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy in Japan: A Web‐Based Survey of Endoscopists (PRESS Survey)

ABSTRACT Objectives The increasing number of patients with colorectal cancer underscores the importance of colonoscopy. Adequate bowel preparation is essential to ensure the quality and safety of colonoscopic examinations; however, data on the current practices in Japan remain li...

Dicyanodithioquinoline‐Based Donor Polymers With Large Dipole Moments for Efficient Organic Solar Cells Exceeding 20% Power Conversion Efficiency

ABSTRACT Constructing efficient donor polymers is a crucial strategy to break through the bottleneck of organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, a new acceptor unit dicyanodithioquinoline (TQCN) with large dipole moment (12.90 Debye) was first used to construct high performance polyme...

Strengthening insecticide resistance management in malaria vectors control in Côte d’Ivoire: from evidence to action

Malaria remains a major public health challenge in Côte d’Ivoire, particularly among young children and pregnant women. Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) have significantly reduced transmission, but their effectiveness is increasingly threatened by widespread insecticide resistance...

The bright and dark sides of AI-driven transformation: evidence from Italian firms

Purpose This study examines how firm-level Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities are associated with innovation trajectories and firm performance, with particular attention to sustainability-oriented (green) and efficiency-oriented (brown) innovation outcomes. It further inve...

Conservative and surgical treatment of wrist osteoarthritis: a systematic review

INTRODUCTION: Wrist osteoarthritis leads to pain and functional impairment. Despite conservative treatment options, surgery remains a central therapeutic component. In Germany, the number of patients rose from over 472,000 cases in 2018 to more than 580,000 in 2024. This review e...

Determinants of Contracts and Wages in the Women’s National Basketball Association

Compensation in the WNBA reflects both player performance and institutional arrangements. Exploring data on 263 newly signed contracts from 2017 to 2024, this study investigates determinants of wages and contract length. Regression results indicate a persistent wage increase foll...

Exploration of the relationships between health literacy and experience of care integration in parents of children with special healthcare needs: a cross-sectional study

This study sought to identify health literacy profiles of Australian parents of children with special health care needs (SHCN), and explore the relationships between health literacy, experiences of health care integration, and parent stress. A cross-sectional study design was use...

Orthograde Apical Barrier in Non-Vital Immature Permanent Teeth: A Narrative Review of Clinical Pathways, Procedural Determinants, and Evidence Gaps

Background/Objectives: Pulp necrosis in immature permanent teeth arrests root development, leaving an open apex, thin, divergent dentinal walls, and an unfavorable crown-to-root ratio that predisposes the tooth to fracture and complicates endodontic management. An apical barrier...

Landslide Susceptibility Assessment Using a Machine Learning Model with VAE-CDM Sample Augmentation: A Case Study of Southeastern Xizang

Landslide susceptibility mapping in alpine regions with limited data has two persistent obstacles: too few recorded landslide cases and the questionable reliability of non-landslide samples. We address these issues with a hybrid generative framework—a Variational Autoencoder (VAE...

Thermo‐Responsive Thermoplastic Polyurethane/Poly(Isobutyl Methacrylate) Polymer Blends

ABSTRACT In this research, elastomeric thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and amorphous poly(isobutyl methacrylate) (PiBMA) were used to prepare polymer blends with compositions of 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, and 50/50 (wt%) via melt blending. Morphological analysis revealed that c...

Artian's Entropy and Second-Law Reference Theorem: Completed-Record Persistence, Record-State Recurrence Separation, Typed Capacity Geometry, Anchored Modular Charge, Clausius Production, Surface Entropy, and Page-Capacity Consequences

Two entropy coordinates, one finite Second-Law cone This release separates the cumulative record written by completed source events from information lost through an observer's access map. The combined law is \[ \Sigma_{\rm QTT}[T_1,T_2] =k_B\big[N_{\rm rec}(T_2)-N_{\rm rec}(T_1)\...
