Validity and reliability of Indonesian version of the digital screen exposure questionnaire (DSEQ) for young children
Studies have shown that excessive screen time in early childhood can negatively affect development. Therefore, assessing screen exposure in young children is important for preventing these negative ef...
Overexpression of miR-149 attenuates opioid-related perturbations in neural stem cell fates and serves as a translational biomarker for infants with prenatal opioid exposure
There is currently no biomarker to predict the maximum morphine dose (MMD) for newborns experiencing withdrawal from chronic prenatal opioid exposure (POE). This is due, in part, to a lack of understa...
Effectiveness of virtual reality technology combined with conventional pelvic floor rehabilitation training in postpartum myofascial pelvic pain syndrome: A randomized controlled trial
Objective The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic efficacy of integrating virtual reality technology with conventional pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy versus conve...
Network-constrained Random Lasso for biologically interpretable gene network inference across unequal sample sizes
Gene regulatory network inference is a key approach for elucidating molecular mechanisms underlying complex diseases, but accurately inferring them from high-dimensional data, especially when sample s...
Editorial Note: Research on improving the ranging accuracy of ships with stereo vision through Kalman filter optimization
Research on team efficacy in CBA games based on complex network theory
Using complex network theory, we quantify the topological characteristics and anti-destruction resilience of the 12 playoff teams that contested the 2023 Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) season. B...
Difference in trends in suicide mortality rates by marital status and age groups from 2000 to 2020 in Japan
This study examined trends in suicide mortality rates by marital status across age groups in Japan, which have not been investigated to date. We utilized the Vital Statistics and Census data of Japan,...
‘Sustainable Choices’ - An intervention to promote climate change mitigation behaviours: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Introduction The latest climate reports underscore the importance of climate change mitigation behaviours in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving the climate goals. Ther...
Resilience across time: Longitudinal measurement invariance of the Brief Resilience Scale in French university students
Purpose The response shift effect occurs in Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) as a consequence of internal changes in perception of the measured concept. The purpose of thi...
Experimental performance study on alkali-activated coal gangue-slag gel stabilized spoil for road base preparation
This study developed a fully waste-based stabilized aggregate for road bases. A high-performance alkali-activated binder was synthesized from coal gangue and slag, then blended with tunnel-excavated s...
GSK3β as a potential regulator in AML: A pan-cancer multi-omics analysis
The distinct roles of GSK3 isoforms (GSK3α/β) in tumorigenesis and immune modulation remain poorly characterized across malignancies. We integrated multi-omics data from TCGA, GTEx, and single-cell RN...
Predictive modeling of apple slice drying: Integrating temperature, thickness, and shrinkage dynamics
This study investigates the effects of drying temperature and slice thickness on the drying kinetics, shrinkage, moisture diffusivity, and color of Golden Delicious apple slices. Drying experiments we...
Screen time and chronic neck pain in Peru: A comparative population-based cross-sectional study in the COVID-19 post-pandemic period
Background Chronic neck pain (CNP) is a prevalent condition worldwide. During the COVID-19 pandemic, its prevalence increased, partly due to the rise in screen time associated with...
Fine-grained identification of tea plantation parcels in UAV remote sensing images based on DVIT-UNet
The complex terrain and diverse management practices in tea-producing regions have resulted in highly fragmented tea plantation plots, posing challenges to precision cultivation, yield estimation, and...
Predicted antiviral potential of phytochemicals prolific in Cleistanthus bracteosus Jabl. and essential oils of Artemisia scoparia and Thuja orientalis against Nipah virus and Human metapneumovirus: An AI-driven in-silico study
The recent Nipah virus (NiV) epidemic and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) outbreak have had a significant impact on human health and society worldwide. The attachment glycoprotein (G) and fusion glycopro...
Exploring climate smart agriculture in Turkey: Enhancing food security and sustainable practices for the reduction of CO₂ emissions
Climate-smart agriculture entails the reduction of CO₂ emissions, adaptation and modification of technology to enhance resilience to climate change, and sustainable increase of incomes. This study eva...
