Prediction of on-field rugby scrummaging contact forces from videos using artificial neural networks
Rugby is a contact sport with a high risk of injury. Scrums are a key component of the game and represent a collision event associated with serious injuries, especially to the cervical spine. Traditio...
Promoting energy conservation through attention control and construct activation: A field test at a campus laundry
Increasing the frequency of laundering in cold water has been demonstrated to reduce energy consumption, but heated water laundering rates remain high. This is particularly true in wealthy, western na...
Cumulative excess weight exposure over time and cardiovascular risk: A prospective cohort study
Background Obesity at a given point in time is a known cardiovascular risk factor. However, the contribution of long-term excess weight exposure to cardiovascular risk has not been...
Retraction: TGEL-transformer: Fusing educational theories with deep learning for interpretable student performance prediction
Prevalence, predictors, and clinical relevance of drug–drug interactions in outpatient prescribing: A national cross-sectional study
Background Drug–drug interactions (DDIs) represent a major preventable cause of medication-related harm globally. Their prevalence varies across health systems, but common drivers...
The Relationships between physical activity, sedentary behaviour, sleep, and dementia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies
Objective This study aimed to summarize the observational evidence from prospective cohort studies examining the associations of regular physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and...
Return to work outcomes in solid organ transplant recipients: A protocol for a global scoping review
Solid organ transplantation treats end-stage organ failure, improving longevity and quality of life. Return to work post-transplant is a positive indicator of treatment success. However, labor is infl...
Retraction: Fast fault diagnosis of smart grid equipment based on deep neural network model based on knowledge graph
The impact of physical adjunctive interventions on outcomes of clear aligner treatment: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials
Introduction Physical adjunctive interventions (PAIs), including vibration devices and low-level laser therapy, are promoted to accelerate tooth movement, improve aligner tracking,...
Folic acid supplementation ameliorates long-term lipid metabolism following intrauterine growth restriction
Background This study emphasizes the potential of folic acid (FA) supplementation in controlling intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR)-induced metabolic problems and improving the...
Influence of pin length on interfacial characteristics and tensile properties of friction-stir-butt-welded AA1060/Q235 clad plates
This study explores friction stir butt welding of AA1060/Q235 clad plates to address the chemical industry’s need for robust aluminum/steel clad joints. To manage the formation of intermetallic compou...
Thyrostroma parviniae sp. nov., causing bud necrosis and branch dieback in fig trees from Iran
Surveys were conducted in commercial fig orchards in Fars Province, Iran, from 2023 to 2024, focusing on symptomatic trees showing bud necrosis, branch dieback, and wood discoloration. Isolates with c...
Retraction: Consumption quota compilation based on BP artificial neural network algorithm in mechanical and electrical installation engineering of prefabricated buildings
Associations between naturally occurring school engagement with public health units and adolescent mental health
Objective This study examined whether schools’ engagement with their local public health unit (PHU) regarding mental health was associated with adolescent anxiety and depression....
The paradoxical effect of oral prednisone in granulomatous lobular mastitis: An observational cohort study
Background Despite being a cornerstone therapy for granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM), the use of oral prednisone lacks a standardized protocol due to undefined optimal parameter...
Objective differences and pathway differentiation between twin subtypes within the same IDDSI level: A texture–nutrition analysis based on commonly consumed foods among Chinese elderly
Objective This study adopts a “pathway‐priority” perspective to systematically quantify the texture–moisture–nutrition continuum of elderly‐preferred food in...
Perceptions of Chinese higher-vocational nursing program directors on digital transformation: A qualitative study
Background Currently, most research on digital transformation in higher vocational education conducts macro-level analyses, and few comprehensive studies specifically address highe...
Programming Mat-Poka-yoke system control effect of unsteady convection-diffusion behavior for plastic manufacturing mathematically
The blowing and drying stages in the plastic manufacturing process generate many defects due to a lack of accuracy in estimating thermal convection and its diffusion control. Therefore, dual digital p...
Text encryption through bio-inspired DNA and RNA sequencing
Cryptography is the technology of protecting information and communication by means of encoding the sending information. Existing methods often operate within predetermined mathematical structures whi...
Nationwide monthly burned area monitoring in Indonesia using Sentinel-2
Wildfires pose a major challenge for many nations. Rapid mapping of their extent is key to evaluating their impacts. We present the first operational monthly burned-area processing chain for Indonesia...
