Night Shifts and Occupational Fatigue Among Nurses Who Work 12-Hour-Shifts in Jeddah
Background/Objectives: Night-shift work is essential for continuous nursing care but may disrupt circadian rhythms, impair well-being, and contribute to occupational fatigue. This study assessed the impact of night-shift work and occupational fatigue among nurses working 12 h shi...

Bis(η6-cycloborane)chromium [Cr(η6-B6H12)2] as a Boron Analog of Bis(η6-benzene)chromium
Inspired by the newly discovered sandwich D5d [Os(η5-B5H10)2] as a carbon-free analog of ferrocene [Fe(η5-C5H5)2] and based on extensive global searches and first-principles theory calculations, we present herein the viable possibility of a staggered sandwich bis(η6-cycloborane)c...

Sublimation of Physical and Psychical Trauma in the Painting of Frida Kahlo
The painting work of Frida Kahlo is a diary and recounts events from the past (the marriage of her parents, the accident) and the present (her marriage with Diego Rivera, her miscarriage and the betrayal of Diego with her sister). Frida Kahlo takes her inspiration in the physical...

Nanofinishing of wool and blended fabrics with TiO 2 for UV protection and photoyellowing reduction
The effectiveness of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) (P-25) in enhancing protection against ultraviolet rays and reducing photoinduced yellowing was evaluated through its application to wool fabrics and wool blends (such as wool–polyester and wool–polyester–spandex). Th...

Comprehensive landscape and future perspectives of PIWI‑interacting RNAs in cancer (Review)
P‑element induced wimpy testis (PIWI)‑interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small non‑coding RNAs with a length of ~24‑32 nucleotides that specifically bind members of the PIWI protein family. Initially identified in germ cells, piRNAs have since been detected in various somatic cells. T...

From granularity to consensus: Mitigating sample defects for Remote Sensing Image–Text Retrieval
Remote Sensing Image–Text Retrieval (RSITR) aims to retrieve remote sensing images or text descriptions when only one modality is available. Despite recent progress, existing RSITR methods often suffer from sample defects, which cause them to mistakenly treat semantically related...

Integrated Top-Down Proteomics for Comprehensive Proteome Analysis at the Proteoform Level
Background: Proteoforms are the critical functional species that drive biological processes. However, conventional proteogenomic (“shotgun”) analyses discard relevant proteoform-level information through bulk protein digestion. This study presents a proof-of-principle integrative...

Proteome-guided drug discovery maps and mitigates therapeutic degrader toxicity
Abstract Heterobifunctional targeted degraders (HBDs) enable potent removal of protein targets but their clinical success can be hindered by de novo toxicity inherent to their bivalent chemistry. Here we introduce a drug discovery framework that exploits high-throughput proteomic...
