Bridging Gaps in Menstrual Health: A Review on Specially-Abled Adolescent Girls

Menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) is a most important but under-researched aspect of adolescent health, particularly in girls with physical and mental disabilities. These girls have secondary social, cultural and structural hindrances. Menstrual health among Indians is influence...

Mapping the hearing healthcare pathway in Australia: a data linkage study of the patient journey from general practice to audiology

Abstract To comprehensively understand how patients with hearing loss navigate the journey from general practice to audiology clinics. This study involved linking two major general practice datasets with data from the largest hearing service provider in Australia, to develop a no...

Evidence to Entitlement: Uncertainty-Qualified Certification for Context-Typed Descendant Laws

This paper asks under what conditions finite evidence licenses a directional claim about a declared context-typed semantic condition. The constitutive question—what a descendant-law candidate must truly satisfy—and the epistemic question—what finite evidence licenses us to say ab...

Templated Synthesis of Heterobimetallic Nd─Co Clusters

ABSTRACT Heterometallic clusters are typically realized through the design of metal site‐specific coordination environments. Their unusual metal‐metal interactions and potentially synergistic effects toward small‐molecule activation and catalysis are two of the many attributes of...

Supervisory trust and urgency culture: the role of temporal desynchronisation

Purpose This study aims to explore how miscalibrated supervisory trust may contribute to an urgency culture. Drawing on the trust calibration theory, it challenges the assumption that supervisory trust is uniformly and linearly beneficial and explains its unintended consequences....

Hyper-spectral photonic integrated circuits based on recursive inverse design

Manipulating optical spectra with complex spectral responses is central to high-performance photonic computing and sensing, but conventional integrated circuits typically increase features by cascading devices, which scales complexity linearly with cascade depth and is difficult...

Distortion in LPBF Cantilevers Governed by Stiffness-Controlled Stress Redistribution

Residual stresses generated during laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) can cause substantial distortion in slender structures, compromising dimensional accuracy and structural reliability. This study tests the hypothesis that, under identical nominal processing conditions, geometry-de...

Dual‐Metasurface‐Integrated Fiber Array for Bidirectional Cylindrical‐Vector‐Beam Multiplexed Communication Using Off‐Axis Spatial Manipulation

ABSTRACT Free‐space optical (FSO) communication is expected to support 6G networks, and cylindrical vector beam (CVB) multiplexing offers a promising space‐division multiplexing (SDM) dimension for high‐capacity FSO links. However, conventional CVB generators offer limited bidire...

Jarmi: Zbirka Slovenskega etnografskega muzeja/Yokes: The Collection of the Slovene Ethnographic Museum

Published in both Slovenian and English in 2024, ‘JARMI, YOKES’ by Inja Smerdel is a superb, 492 page study of working cattle yokes in the ‘Collection of the Slovene Ethnographic Museum’. Non-mater...

The world health organization’s labour care guide’s knowledge, usability, acceptability, and practicability among midwives in selected health facilities in Enugu State, Nigeria: a pilot feasibility assessment study

Partographs have been used for nearly 50 years to assess labour progress, although their accuracy has been questioned. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended the Labour Care Guide (LCG) as a more robust tool for improving the quality of labour monitoring. This pilot...

Sadness, Risk Direction, and Correction of Health Misinformation: Effects on Beliefs and Sharing Intentions

= 797), participants viewed a misinformation post, completed an autobiographical emotion induction and then received a text-only correction. Corrections reduced belief in false claims and lowered sharing overall. Sadness had no main effect but interacted with risk direction: in t...

THE ROLE OF THE CHURCH IN ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES OF ECONOMIC MELTDOWN IN NIGERIA

Nigeria is currently grappling with severe economic challenges. Many households struggle to afford three meals a day, and a growing number of citizens eat merely what is available rather than what they desire due to limited resources. The unemployment rate continues to rise, and...

An Infinite Dense Counterexample Family for Extremal First Betti Numbers of Flag Complexes

Beers and Bakke Botnan conjectured that every graph maximizing the first reduced Betti number of its flag complex among graphs with fixed numbers of vertices and edges contains a complete bipartite spanning subgraph. We give an infinite family of counterexamples strictly above th...

The Wilhelmina Ψ Field: A ContinuumTheory of Phase Noise in CoupledResonator Networks

Phase noise limits performance in radar, 5G communications, satellite navigation, and precision timing systems. Existing theory treats phase noise at a single isolated oscillator (Leeson, 1966) or between two coupled oscillators (Adler, 1946; Kurokawa, 1973). No continuous field...

Learning to Speak Faith Publicly: Theology and Culture in the Secular University

This article examines how theology can engage meaningfully with secular academic and cultural contexts, focusing on the possibility of public theology within the modern university. Emerging from societies where religion was long marginalized or privatized under communist regimes,...

Concordance of genetic determinants of acute coronary artery disease between European and Chinese populations

AIMS: This study examined the concordance of associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for acute coronary artery disease (CAD) discovered in Europeans with acute CAD, chronic ischaemic heart disease (IHD) or stroke in Chinese adults. METHODS: In a nested case-control...

Synergistic Integration of Whole-Cell Biosensors and Droplet Microfluidics for High-Throughput Microbial Screening

Abstract High-throughput screening (HTS) is essential for developing microbial cell factories, yet traditional droplet microfluidics often struggles to detect nonfluorescent metabolites. This perspective explores the whole-cell biosensor-encapsulated droplet reactor-based microbi...

The number sense of nineteenth-century British literature

Stefanie Markovits’s The Number Sense of Nineteenth-Century British Literature offers a fresh perspective on the prolific role of numbers and “numberiness,” and their effects, in nineteenth-century...

Exosome-Based Therapeutics in Alzheimer’s Disease: Translational Perspectives Beyond Conventional Therapies

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains a major neurodegenerative disorder lacking effective long-term disease-modifying therapies. Current pharmacological approaches provide primarily symptomatic benefit, while recently approved anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies offer only modest clin...

Cavity-Size-Dependent Recognition of Naphthalene Derivatives by 3,3′-Bipyridinium Tetracationic Cyclophanes

The recognition behavior of tetracationic cyclophanes is strongly influenced by the geometric match between the host cavity and aromatic guests. Herein, we compare two 3,3′-bipyridinium-based tetracationic cyclophanes, BPy-Box⁴⁺ and NBox⁴⁺, toward a series of naphthalene derivati...
