The objective of this paper is to assess the combined effect of occupational biomechanical and psychosocial risk factors on the incidence of work-related upper-extremity musculoskeletal disorders (UEMSDs) and estimate the proportion and number of inc...
In order to address the problems of various interference factors and small sample acquisition in surface floating object detection, an object detection algorithm combining spatial and frequency domains is proposed. Firstly, a rough texture detection...

This paper examines a loss spiral model (i.e., reciprocal relationships) between work-family conflict and depression, moderated by co-worker support. We expected that the moderation effect due to co-worker support would be evident among those working...
We are in a rapidly changing world where new dynamics are stressing the knowledge-action landscape: a greater understanding that cross-scale interactions are critical; increasing pressure to more fully address issues of equity in sustainable developm...
The regulation of sensory processing by centralized neuromodulatory systems can alter behavioral responses to social cues. Neuromodulatory systems such as the serotonergic neurons in the dorsal raphé nucleus (DRN) show heterogenous responses t...
Reward motivation adaptation is defined as the extent to which the willingness to exert effort varies as a function of incentive salience, encompassing both motivational (‘wanting’) and hedonic (‘liking’) components. Although...
This study based on co-occurrence analysis shearlet transform (CAST) effectively combines the latent low rank representation (LatLRR) and the regularization of zero-crossing counting in differences to fuse the heterogeneous images. First, the source...
In the context of the intensely debated topic of the impact of entrepreneurship education on students’ entrepreneurial intentions, the current paper presents findings of the entrepreneurial intentions of a group of doctoral students and postdoctoral...
A machine learning method for classifying lung ultrasound is proposed here to provide a point of care tool for supporting a safe, fast, and accurate diagnosis that can also be useful during a pandemic such as SARS-CoV-2. Given the advantages (e.g., s...
South Korea’s Smart Farm Innovation Valley program integrates infrastructure, technology demonstration, training, entrepreneurship, and public support across four regional sites. This study examines changes in documented policy attention to the...
The social identity of migrant children is not merely a demographic label but is actively constructed and constrained by institutional structures. In China, a rapidly growing migrant population faces stringent institutional barriers, namely cross-reg...
Dentistry is responsible for around 10% of antibiotic prescribing across global healthcare, with up to 80% representing inappropriate use. Facilitating shared decision-making has been shown to optimise antibiotic prescribing (antibiotic stewardship)...

Despite increasing rates of co-morbid depression and obesity, few interventions target both conditions simultaneously, particularly in men. The SHED-IT: Recharge trial, conducted in 125 men with depressive symptoms and overweight or obesity, tested t...
Humor is widely recognized for its positive effects on well-being, including stress reduction, mood enhancement, and cognitive benefits. Yet, the lack of reliable tools to objectively quantify amusement—particularly its temporal dynamics—...
With the growth of the urban population and economic level, the issue of urban parking space shortages (UPSSs) has assumed growing prominence. This persistent issue not only exacerbates traffic congestion but also contributes to environmental polluti...
Social media provides a vital arena for rare disease (RD) communities, fostering support, advocacy, and knowledge sharing. Rare Disease Day generates a large-scale online conversation, yet previous research has relied mainly on static, cross-sectiona...
Polyurethane buffers serve as critical safety protection devices for elevators, with their integrity directly impacting the effectiveness of protective functions during accidents. Current buffer inspections primarily rely on manual patrols, suffering...
Climate change is reshaping agricultural systems by altering temperature and rainfall regimes, increasing the frequency of extreme events, and intensifying risks to crop productivity, water use, and farm decision-making. As climate–agriculture...
