Background and purpose: Robust optimization mitigates the effects of range and setup uncertainties in intensity–modulated proton therapy (IMPT) through robustness settings. However, it increases the dose to organs-at-r...

Water scarcity traps smallholder farmers in a vicious circle of poverty and challenges individual well-being. This study explores the impact of climate change on water resources and the factors influencing smallholder fa...

Abstract Aim (Background) The purpose of the current in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the marginal adaptation and fracture resistance of CAD/CAM VITA ENAMIC hybrid ceramic and, 3D printed Nanoksa G-PLUS high-pe...

Abstract Background The purpose of this article is to present the Brazilian Physical Activity (PA) During Cancer Treatment Guidelines(PA) during cancer treatment, and discuss the adaptations made to align the recommendat...

The study outlines the theoretical and methodological foundations for modeling young people’s social adaptation in cross-border migration between Central Asia and China. The methodology comprised six interrelated stage...

Background: Climate change has a negative impact on smallholder farming, affecting both agricultural production and livelihoods. Agricultural extension services offer an essential role in enabling smallholder farmers to...

Climate change poses escalating challenges to urban systems, intensifying risks from extreme temperatures, flooding, sea-level rise, and socio-environmental inequalities. Cities are increasingly recognised as critical ar...

Introduction and aims: Conventional removable partial denture (RPD) clasp fabrication with wrought wire depends on operator skill, limiting efficiency and reproducibility. This study compared robotically and manually ben...

Resumen: Antecedentes y objetivo: La enfermedad renal crónica está acompañada de un fuerte impacto físico, así como psicológico, requiriendo un proceso de adaptación por parte del paciente. La mentoría entre par...

The study aimed to analyse the effectiveness of traditional, innovative, and digital approaches to individualising the educational process and student adaptation within the educational systems of Bulgaria, Kyrgyzstan, an...

Abstract Freshwater adaptation from marine ancestors represents a major ecological transition in teleost evolution, yet its genomic basis remains poorly understood. The genus Brachirus is predominantly marine, although a...

The dynamics of technological frontier of Russian industries in 2019–2023 under the conditions of external shocks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2022 sanctions, has been studied. Unlike traditional DEA-based st...

Nature-based solutions (NbS) for urban stormwater management, including bioretention systems, constructed wetlands, green roofs, and permeable pavements, are increasingly promoted as climate adaptation tools that enhance...

Background: Extreme heat poses growing public health challenges, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. Assessing heat vulnerability at the county level is crucial for guiding adaptation strategies. Methods: A count...

This study is motivated by educational disparities in 3T areas (disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost regions), which are characterized by limited infrastructure, restricted access to technology, and insufficient teache...

Abstract Background Soil salinization severely restricts the growth and forage yield of Medicago sativa (alfalfa), a globally critical leguminous forage crop, yet the regulatory mechanisms governing its salt tolerance re...

Abstract The nematode Ditylenchus destructor comprises multiple haplotypes with distinct host preferences, while the genetic basis remains unclear. We generate three genomes (Haplotypes A, B, and C) using hybrid assembly...

Abstract Background Numerous research studies indicate that Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) youth report disproportionately higher substance use rates than other ethnic groups, as well as higher adverse effec...

Abstract Erythropoietin (EPO) administration stimulates haematological and non‐haematological adaptations that alter substrate oxidation and enhance aerobic performance. The effects of strenuous exercise and EPO on met...

Abstract Background The exponential rise in colorectal cancer surgeries among older adults combined with 30-day readmission rates as high as 25% highlights the crucial need to optimize post-discharge care. While geriatri...

BackgroundCancer patients often face concurrent challenges of cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) and opportunities for post-traumatic growth (PTG), but existing research primarily adopts a variable-centered appro...
