Holding All the Cards from the Good Old Days: How Nostalgic Cues Enhance Artificial Intelligence Service Acceptance

Although artificial intelligence (AI) has become deeply integrated into services, many customers exhibit low acceptance of AI-driven offerings. Identifying effective and efficient ways to enhance AI acceptance is both theoretically significant and practically valuable. Drawing on...

Electro-mechanical response of TSV-RDL interconnects under electron irradiation

Purpose Through-silicon-via (TSV) and redistribution-layer (RDL) interconnects are essential for high-density three-dimensional (3D)/2.5D integration in aerospace microsystems. However, their reliability under energetic electron irradiation remains insufficiently understood, part...

Researching from the Border: Methodological Decisions, Positioning and Challenges in the Study of Border Impact

Defining border as a phenomenon that articulates social dynamics brings certain challenges in terms of application to the development of research in border studies. In this paper, we review the theoretical and methodological decisions that sought to put this conception of border...

Psychological interventions to improve maternal mental health and resilience during pregnancy in the COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic review

BACKGROUND: During the COVID-19 pandemic, pregnant women experienced increased psychological distress, while access to routine mental health care was often disrupted. Psychological interventions may provide an effective strategy to support maternal mental health under these circu...

Thermodynamic and structural behavior of one-dimensional divalent patchy hard rods: Wertheim’s first-order thermodynamic perturbation theory vs exact results

We investigate the thermodynamic and structural properties of divalent patchy hard rods confined to a one-dimensional channel by modeling the bonding sites as attractive square-well (SW) patches located at the rod tips. The zero-range sticky limit is recovered by letting the well...

From equity to solidarity: how care and relationality transform the debate on justice in genomics

Equity has become central to genomics, yet dominant approaches - focused on fair representation and distribution - often overlook the relational and structural conditions through which genomic practices are produced and experienced. This paper reframes genomic justice by adding c...

Intermittent fasting promotes plaque regression and activates the BMAL1–MERTK efferocytosis axis

Abstract Background Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease can progress despite intensive lipid lowering, highlighting the need to identify local mechanisms that remodel established plaques. Intermittent fasting may engage metabolic, circadian, and immune pathways relevant to thi...

Survival after Resuscitative Thoracotomy in the Emergency Department: An Analysis of 487 Trauma Patients with Prehospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Background: The association between prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) duration and outcomes after emergency department resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) remains uncertain. We evaluated whether EMS-derived time-stamped prehospital CPR duration was associated with surviv...

A Composite Quality Index and Multi-Criteria Decision-Support Framework for Evaluating Complaint Resolution Performance of Express Delivery Operators

The rapid expansion of the express delivery sector, driven by the growth of e-commerce, has increased the importance of effective complaint management as an integral component of service quality and consumer protection. Although operational service performance and complaint handl...

Referral Theology: The Freedom to Believe and the Freedom from Judgement

Referral Theology presents a novel analytical linguistic framework designed to resolve the classical paradox of theological discussion: the inevitability of human cognition producing finite constructs versus the prohibition against idolatry for doing so. Utilizing linguistic real...

Line, hand, and bowstring- curvature, straightness, length, and tension in Old Chinese lexis as evidenced by 曲, 句—勾鉤, 掌, 直, 長, 張, and 展

ABSTRACT The present study is devoted to nine principal Old Chinese sinographs: 曲, 句, 勾, 鉤, 掌, 直, 長, 張, and 展 (with the derivative forms 痀, 拘, and 笱 adduced to elucidate the internal history of the 句 cluster). These sinographs pertain to the fundamental lexicon of fo...

Defining risk: the case for conceptual clarity in acetaminophen poisoning

Despite the widespread availability of acetylcysteine, acetaminophen (paracetamol) poisoning remains the most common cause of acute liver failure and acute liver transplantation in the United State...

Best-Practice Perioperative Optimization for Craniosynostosis Surgery

Abstract Perioperative optimization in craniosynostosis surgery demands coordinated attention across the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods, yet considerable practice variation persists across craniofacial centers. Surgical approaches range from minimally inv...

Modeling career decision competency for global vocational education: confirmatory factor analysis evidence from Thailand with cross-cultural implications

Purpose This study reframes career decision-making competency in vocational education as a system-embedded capability influenced by institutional supports, opportunity structures, and constraints. Using Thailand as an exemplar VET system, it develops a multidimensional career dec...

Architectural Control of Bottlebrush Polymers for Tuning Rheology of Polylactic Acid Blends

Abstract A series of polylactic acid (PLA)-based bottlebrush polymers (BBPs) with controlled grafting ratios were synthesized and blended with linear PLA to examine the role of bottlebrush architecture in governing melt rheology. The blends exhibited a nonmonotonic dependence of...

Performance Improvement of S-duct Intake for Low-observable Aircraft Using Guide Vanes

본 연구에서는 저피탐 항공기에 적용되는 매립형 S-duct 흡입구에서 발생하는 이차유동과 유동 왜곡을 저감하기 위해, S-duct의 두 번째 곡면부에 가이드 베인(GV)을 적용한 유동 제어 효과를 수치해석으로 평가하였다. 흡입구 성능 평가는 엔진 입구면(AIP)에서 전압력 회복률(PR)과 유동 왜곡 지수(D...

The origins of the Indigenous press in Chile: the Mapuche case, 1935–1945

This article examines the origins of the Indigenous press in Chile and focuses specifically on the Mapuche case between 1935 and 1945, ranging from the first newspaper Juventud Araucana to the final issue of El Heraldo Araucano. It highlights two main conditions that explain the...

pi-canon: Mutable Canonical Memory over an Immutable Journal, with Recall by Surfacing. Design, and a four-arm multi-session evaluation

Agent knowledge bases rot in two directed ways: agents scatter near-duplicate notes because nothing marks which article is the article for a topic, and they treat the store as a diary, burying current truth under event logs. pi-canon is a project-memory extension for the Pi codin...

Differential Spoke-Tension Sensing for Estimating Bicycle Rear-Wheel Power

This open technical disclosure proposes a low-cost method for estimating bicycle rear-wheel power from changes in the tension of ordinary wheel spokes. The proposed architecture uses two spoke-coupled sensing modules: one on the drive side and one on the non-drive side of a dishe...
