The mechanical component in the pathophysiology of dry eye disease (DED) deserves attention as an important factor. The lubrication deficit induced impaired mechano-transduction of lid pressure to the ocular surfaces may lead to the dysregulation of...
Employee attrition represents a significant burden, yet predictive models often fail to provide actionable retention strategies, creating a critical prediction–prescription gap. This paper introduces the Counterfactual–Dialectical Optimis...
The common measure of teacher retention as snapshots of those employed in state-funded schools may overestimate attrition by failing to consider a desire for flexibility in contemporary teaching careers. When used as a measure of the effectiveness of...
