Decoding visual object recognition from EEG signals
Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) and clinical EEG require compact and interpretable decoders, yet scalp sensors mix cortical signals and blur frequency-specific activity. Identifying which cortical re...
Will there be new trends in the public’s attention to express services in the post-COVID-19 era?
To explore the evolution trends and sentiment characteristics of public’s attention toward express services following the comprehensive adjustment of COVID-19 prevention policies in China, and to prov...
Interventions to improve hearing aid use in adult auditory rehabilitation: A protocol for an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Acquired hearing loss is common among adults, with hearing aids being the primary clinical management option. While hearing aids can improve communication and quality of life, many individuals do not...
Risk factors associated with diabetic foot amputation: A retrospective study from a tertiary hospital in Central Malaysia
Diabetes mellitus continues to escalate as a major global health crisis, with diabetic foot infection (DFI) remaining one of the most serious and preventable complications. Despite advances in multidi...
Workplace changes, perceived difficulties and migration intentions among Romanian construction workers during the covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted labour mobility across Europe, but its effects varied substantially across sectors. Construction remained relatively active in Romania, creating a specific context in w...
Research on the location model of emergency rescue facilities based on disaster risk—A Case study of earthquake disaster
Rational site selection for disaster relief supply reserve depots is crucial for mitigating natural disaster risks. This study constructs a site selection model for relief supply reserve depots based...
Antibiotics confound breath-based respiratory disease detection in calves
Breath analysis offers a promising, non-invasive approach for early disease detection in livestock, particularly for bovine respiratory disease (BRD). However, the widespread use of antibiotics in vet...
DNA metabarcoding to estimate diet overlap between the introduced Joro spider (Trichonephila clavata) and three native orb-weaving spiders
The introduction of novel generalist predators to new ecosystems can dramatically alter species interactions and established food webs. Invasive predators may contribute to pest control services; howe...
From body hulls to musculoskeletal models: Personalized inertial parameter estimation
Every human body is different, however, current movement analysis does not reflect that, as it heavily relies on generic musculoskeletal models. Usually, these models are scaled to match the participa...
Nesting in anticipation: Spatial ecology of giant honey bees (Apis dorsata) in relation to crop succession mapped by remote sensing
Seasonal migration and nesting of the giant honeybee Apis dorsata (Fabricius, 1793) are widely associated with mass-flowering crops, yet how colony settlement r...
Examining the evolving roles of quantity surveyors in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals
The roles of Quantity Surveyors (QSs) in the construction industry are vital, yet their contribution to sustainability has been underexplored. This study examines the roles of quantity surveyors in ac...
Effect of a patient-driven perioperative intervention on health literacy: A stepped-wedge cluster randomised sub-study
We hypothesised that a patient-driven safety checklist would enhance patients’ health literacy. This study was conducted as a sub-study of a multicentre cluster trial with a stepped wedge design. Data...
Inhibition of SUR1-TRPM4 attenuates astrocyte swelling and reactivity under oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation
Astrocytes play essential roles in maintaining brain homeostasis but undergo pathological alterations following ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Astrocyte swelling and reactive changes are associate...
Virtual community-based interventions for family caregivers of people with dementia: A scoping review protocol
Introduction Family caregivers provide the majority of long-term care for people with dementia and often experience substantial psychological distress, social isolation, and caregi...
Exploring compassionate care in rehabilitation among individuals who are involved with the criminal-legal system with traumatic brain injury: A scoping review
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is disproportionately prevalent among individuals who are involved with the criminal-legal system and can impact one’s ability to critically think and emotionally regulate...
Pesticide-induced ecological traps and insect pollinator foraging network disruption in apple orchards compared to adjacent graveyard refugia
Beyond acute toxicity, agricultural pesticide regimes fundamentally restructure insect foraging networks through complex, poorly understood community-level pathways. By comparing eight conventional ap...
Uncovering the genetic basis of crown rust resistance in a northern-by-southern oat biparental population
Crown rust, caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae ( Pca...
Antibiotics and priority effects on colonizing resistant Escherichia coli strain assemblages in a community setting
Colonizing antibiotic resistant bacteria often exists within functionally structured microbial communities, where occurrence is influenced by dependencies essential to stability and function. Consider...
Euclidean consistency-driven dual-layer information fusion framework for UAV-based traffic accident scene reconstruction
This study aims to develop an interpretable dual-layer information fusion framework driven by the Euclidean Consistency Index (ECI) for UAV flight parameter optimization, which integrates a statistica...
Adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung: Comparative CT and pathological features versus adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma
Objective Adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the lung, containing both adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) components, is associated with aggressive behavior and po...
Intimate partner violence during lockdown in Tuscany, Italy: Economic or confinement-related shocks?
We revisit the issue of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) during the COVID-19 pandemic asking three questions: whether IPV worsened with lockdown, what pandemic-specific ‘shocks’ had the greatest impact...
