Schooling as urban asset: Education, capital and governance in entrepreneurial Chinese city

This paper examines how schooling is being reconstituted as a strategic urban asset in contemporary China. Moving beyond its conventional role as a public good, elite education is increasingly mobilised within a model of education-led entrepreneurial governance. Drawing on an in-...

Petroglyphs as petrofacts? Exploring the visibility and physicality of lines, furrows, and cavities in Bronze Age rock art

Abstract This text concerns tangible and sensory aspects of petroglyph production with a primary focus on south Scandinavian Bronze Age rock art. The core of the study is based on an experimental trial of making a cupmark, a circle motif, and a shallow boat motif on a small grani...

Time-step level sleep apnea detection using LSTM with adaptive thresholding in polysomnography

Sleep apnea is a prevalent disorder linked to severe health risks. Current diagnosis relies on manual polysomnographic (PSG) analysis, which is time-consuming and subjective. This study aims to develop an objective, automated framework for time-step level apnea detection. We prop...

Optimizing Volatile Matter and Ash Content in Environmentally Friendlier Firelighters Based on Wood Residues and Wax Matrices

Global agricultural and forestry processing industries generate vast quantities of bio-based residuals and organic side products annually, prompting a critical need for sustainable material repurposing. This study investigates the thermal performance of environmentally friendly,...

Cervical Disc Arthroplasty: Evolution, Evidence, and Future Directions in Motion-Preservation Surgery

➢ Cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) provides clinical outcomes comparable with those of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for 1-level and 2-level cervical degenerative disc disease (DDD), with durable long-term motion preservation. ➢ Although CDA is associated with lo...

Implementation of Imaging by a Physical Therapist in the Emergency Department to Assist With Differential Diagnosis

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose: Physical therapists embedded within the emergency department (ED) are quickly becoming standard in the United States, with multiple benefits relating to improved patient outcomes and increased clinical efficiency. No studies have yet described the...

AXIN1 Gene Polymorphism in Fatal Cardiomyopathy Cases: A Cross-Sectional Autopsy Study in Myanmar

Background: Cardiomyopathies are important causes of sudden cardiac death, and genetic variation contributes to their pathogenesis. AXIN1 encodes a scaffold protein that negatively regulates the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which has essential roles in cardiac development and remodelli...

Cutaneous Adverse Events Associated with Semaglutide, Liraglutide and Tirzepatide: A Systematic Review

Background/Objectives: Incretin-based therapies, including glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 RAs, are increasingly prescribed for obesity, leading to greater recognition of associated dermatological...

Enriching Locally the Reactive Intermediates of Ammonium Nitrate via Simple Pore-Size Modulation for Robust NH3–SCR Denitration

Abstract Porous materials are extensively utilized in the catalytic elimination of environmental pollutants. However, the intrinsic role of pore size in modulating catalytic performance remains poorly understood. Herein, we report that the reactivity of ammonium nitrate (AN), a c...

Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) for Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Detection in Colorectal Cancer (CRC): Current Evidence, Clinical Applications, and Future Directions

Minimal residual disease (MRD) is a major contributor to colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence following curative-intent treatment, yet conventional surveillance methods may fail to detect residual disease at its earliest stages. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a minima...

Predicting unplanned readmissions in neurological patients: A large-scale AI-driven analysis using CHAID decision trees

Background Unplanned readmissions in neurology signify care gaps, increasing costs, and morbidity. This study aimed to develop and internally validate an AI model to predict unplanned readmissions among neurological patients in Jordan. Method and materials We conducted a retrospe...

AUTOMATING INTERACTION DYNAMICS NOTATION FOR REAL-TIME TEAM ANALYSIS

Abstract Communication plays a central role in how engineering design teams generate ideas, negotiate decisions, and make progress. Interaction Dynamics Notation (IDN) offers a structured way to study these interactions, but its reliance on manual, post hoc coding limits how wide...

Social environment predicts alarm calling in Eurasian magpies

Abstract Animals in dangerous situations often use alarm calls to warn others. Variation in this behaviour across different social settings can serve to answer long-standing questions about the evolution of costly cooperative actions, since warned conspecifics may yield kin-selec...

Multi-omics elucidate octapeptin mechanisms in alleviating intestinal injury in mice challenged with ETEC K88 via modulated microbial and host pathways

K88 (ETEC K88) in mice. Octapeptin ameliorated intestinal injury by modulating gut microbiome-host interactions. When compared with ETEC K88 mice, octapeptin significantly attenuated growth retardation, systemic oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokine elevation, and ileal mor...

Theoretical Framework of the Compressible and Incompressible Maxwell–Navier–Stokes Systems: Non-Dimensional Analysis, Euler–Stokes Dualities, and Modern Field Analogies

Here I explain the incompressible and compressible behavior of the Maxwell-Navier-Stokes equations, for electromagnetic fluids like plasmas, that by analogy all of them work like a fluid, studying all regimes, without using the potential-vortical decomposition and spectral decomp...

Human pressures and habitat connectivity loss threaten wildlife survival: evidence from the Igando-Igawa Wildlife Corridor, Tanzania

Wildlife corridors are critical for maintaining ecological connectivity, enabling species movement, and sustaining biodiversity. Despite their ecological importance, corridors are facing escalating anthropogenic pressures, including agriculture, settlement expansion, livestock gr...

Defect-rich three-dimensionally ordered macroporous magnesium cobalt oxide spinel coupled with graphite felt for vanadium redox flow batteries

Developing electrodes that simultaneously enable rapid redox kinetics and efficient mass transport is critical for advancing high-performance vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). Herein, a defect-rich three-dimensionally ordered macroporous MgCo 2 O 4 catalyst is integrated ont...

Parameter identification–based virtual direct current injection maximum torque per ampere control for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor

The maximum torque per ampere control system of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor is highly sensitive to parameter changes. Parameter variations can cause the motor to deviate from its point of minimum loss, resulting in increased current amplitude, reduced efficienc...

Analytical and Numerical Analysis of Time-Delayed NDF Control for Nonlinear Rotating Pendulums with Stiffness Modulation Under Simultaneous Resonance Conditions

In this paper, the nonlinear dynamics and vibration suppression of a harmonically excited rotating pendulum are studied by a novel bidirectional coupled second-order auxiliary negative derivative feedback (NDF) controller. The governing equations are obtained by Lagrangian mechan...

Genetic Diversity and Clonal Dissemination of ESBL-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae from Clinical, Food, and Animal Sources in Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major opportunistic pathogen responsible for multidrug-resistant infections in both hospital and community settings. The emergence and spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains have become a major public health concern due to limi...
