This longitudinal panel study aims to investigate the relationships between short/long-term benefits and costs of internet gaming and internet gaming disorder (IGD) in adolescents. First-year high sch...
Boats on the rocks: Late prehistoric nautical iconography and landscape, from Northwest Iberia to Scandinavia
This paper offers a comparative analysis of prehistoric rock art boat depictions found across northwest Iberia and southern Scandinavia. We apply advanced digital documentation techniques, including h...
A deep learning-based fusion framework for robust fine-grained classification of sea turtles in support of marine biodiversity
Accurate classification of sea turtle species is crucial for ecological monitoring and conservation, yet traditional visual classification methods remain limited by underwater imaging challenges such...
Metabolite profiling of saliva for the discrimination of Behcet’s disease, Sjögren’s syndrome, and recurrent aphthous stomatitis
Oral manifestations can be the initial sign of systemic diseases such as Behcet’s disease (BD) and Sjogren’s syndrome (PSS). Their frequency and morphology vary widely, and recurrent aphthous stomatit...
Expression of Concern: A modified fractional short circuit current MPPT and multicellular converter for improving power quality and efficiency in PV chain
Study on tensile mechanical response and microstructure of polypropylene fiber reinforced loess under freezing
Tensile strength is one of the key parameters in the mechanics of frozen ground, widely applied in the engineering design of frozen ground and theoretical research on frost heave. Fiber-reinforced soi...
Study on the safety evaluation of latent tuberculosis treatment in high‑risk groups for tuberculosis development: Study protocol for a multi‑center prospective observational cohort study in Korea (STEP-TB)
Background Tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) is essential for tuberculosis elimination; however, evidence on its safety and feasibility in medically complex, high-risk popula...
GDF15 participates in epithelial cell senescence in radiation-induced lung injury through the ERK1/2-p16 signaling pathway
Objective Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a common complication of thoracic radiotherapy that can compromise treatment outcomes and reduce the quality of life of cancer pat...
A deep neural network and AIS-integrated method for ship trajectory prediction and yaw warning in cross-river power transmission line protection
Ship trajectory prediction plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of inland waterway transportation and enabling intelligent scheduling. To address the limitations of traditional models in captur...
Compounded environmental health risks in mountain communities upstream of Bhumibol Dam, Thailand
Background Indigenous, mountain communities residing upstream of Bhumibol Dam, Thailand, rely on vulnerable natural water sources for their water supply, yet remain unaware of the...
Pathways linking internalized HIV stigma to attitudes and beliefs toward ART through depression: Conditional indirect effects of food insecurity
Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence remains suboptimal in sub-Saharan Africa despite expanded access, particularly in Ghana, where structural and psychosocial stresso...
Predicting unknown binding sites for transition-metal-based compounds in proteins
Transition-metal-based compounds are promising therapeutic agents, particularly in cancer treatment. However, predicting the binding sites of such compounds remains a major challenge. In this work, we...
Factors influencing the adoption of sustainable rice farming practices in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Rice is a major staple crop and an important source of income for rural households in Pakistan. Its production in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) is challenged by rising input costs, climate variability, and...
Identification and diagnostic potential of pyroptosis-related genes in endometriosis: A novel bioinformatics analysis and validation
