Explaining adherence to tuberculosis treatment through the information-motivation-behavioral skills model: a PLS - SEM study in Indonesia 3:00

Explaining adherence to tuberculosis treatment through the information-motivation-behavioral skills model: a PLS - SEM study in Indonesia

Nixson Manurung

Taking tuberculosis medicine regularly is not just a knowledge problem. In this Indonesian study, more information was linked with fewer treatment-related skills, while motivation was linked with better skills, the opposite directions make the story surprisingly complicated.

Cyclophilin D deficiency exacerbates diet-induced obesity and selectively enhances skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration in male mice 4:27

Cyclophilin D deficiency exacerbates diet-induced obesity and selectively enhances skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration in male mice

Jazzmin L. Hembree, William A. Abplanalp, John W. Elrod, Paul T. Pfluger

What if making one part of the body’s energy machinery work harder did not prevent weight gain, but actually came with more body fat? In male mice, that is exactly the puzzle this study found.

Effect of venturi air hole configuration and aeration duration on oxygen transfer and oxidation kinetics of Fe and Mn in groundwater 4:49

Effect of venturi air hole configuration and aeration duration on oxygen transfer and oxidation kinetics of Fe and Mn in groundwater

Okik Hendriyanto Cahyonugroho, Nur Laili Alfiatin Mukharomah, Euis Nurul Hidayah, Intan Maria Novia Dorty Hulu, Adityas Agung Ramandani, Kuan Shiong Khoo

Groundwater can look clear and still carry metals that damage pipes, spoil taste, and threaten health. This study found that changing one small part of an air-powered treatment device made a major difference.

Family accommodation is associated with childhood social anxiety disorder and anxiety symptom severity 4:48

Family accommodation is associated with childhood social anxiety disorder and anxiety symptom severity

Nadine Vietmeier, David Phan, Eva-Maria Fassot, Vera Hauffe, Anna-Lina Rauschenbach, Julian Schmitz, Brunna Tuschen‐Caffier, Julia Asbrand

When a child is afraid, a parent naturally tries to make things easier. But this study suggests that repeatedly changing family life around that fear may be tied to more severe childhood social anxiety.

Weathering-derived calcium supports carbon storage in grassland soils 4:39

Weathering-derived calcium supports carbon storage in grassland soils

E. W. Slessarev, H. R. Goertzen, Rebecca A. Lybrand, Karis J. McFarlane, Jennifer Pett‐Ridge, Noah W. Sokol, D. G. Zaharescu, K. Georgiou

Some of the world’s best farmland may hold onto carbon not just because of its grasses, but because minerals slowly release calcium into the soil. Farming may have dramatically changed that hidden support system.

Public Service Decline and Support for the Populist Right: Evidence from England’s National Health Service 3:59

Public Service Decline and Support for the Populist Right: Evidence from England’s National Health Service

Z. Dickson, SARA BINZER HOBOLT, Catherine E. De Vries, Simone Cremaschi

A local doctor’s surgery closes, and years later, people affected by that closure are more likely to support the populist right. The surprising link is not just healthcare; it is trust in the state.

Forensic insights into mortality and challenges in post-mortem investigations of homeless individuals: a 10-year study (2014–2024) in Milan, Italy 4:24

Forensic insights into mortality and challenges in post-mortem investigations of homeless individuals: a 10-year study (2014–2024) in Milan, Italy

Stefano Tambuzzi, Devis Valleriani, Chiara Carsana, Paola Arzenati, Debora Mazzarelli, Cristina Cattaneo

When someone dies without stable housing, the death may be hard to explain, not because nothing happened, but because the evidence needed to tell the story is often missing.

Non-thermal effects and temperature disparities in uniform supersonic flows 4:37

Non-thermal effects and temperature disparities in uniform supersonic flows

Lok Yiu Wu, Luke Driver, Daniel I. Lucas, Madeleine E. Robertson, Nikil Kapur, Dwayne Ellis Heard, Gregory de Boer, Julia H. Lehman

A gas can be cold in one way and still carry surprising energy in another. That matters because scientists use these cold flows to predict chemistry in space.

Temperature-Dependent Electrocatalytic Methanol Oxidation Over a Pd/MnO2/Exfoliated Boron Ternary Composite in an Alkaline Medium 4:16

Temperature-Dependent Electrocatalytic Methanol Oxidation Over a Pd/MnO2/Exfoliated Boron Ternary Composite in an Alkaline Medium

Mustapha Balarabe Idris, Bhekie B. Mamba, Xolile Godfrey Fuku

A fuel cell may run on methanol, but its most expensive working surface can become clogged by leftover carbon. This study combines three materials so each one handles a different part of the problem.

Age-stratified reporting of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated myocarditis: disproportionality is amplified in older adults, with implications for geriatric oncology 4:07

Age-stratified reporting of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated myocarditis: disproportionality is amplified in older adults, with implications for geriatric oncology

Murat Pehlivan, Aybüke Uyar, Okan Turhan, Özge Özgün, Oğuz Kayabaşı, Arzu Okyar Baş, Cafer Balcı, Burcu Balam Doğu, Meltem Gulhan Halil, Mustafa Cankurtaran, Mert Eşme

Immunotherapy can help the immune system fight cancer, but the heart can become an unintended target. This study found that the warning signal for heart inflammation was stronger in older patients across every treatment examined.

With whom you elaborate matters: how learning orientation impacts cross-culture and same-culture information elaboration in culturally diverse teams 3:34

With whom you elaborate matters: how learning orientation impacts cross-culture and same-culture information elaboration in culturally diverse teams

Yongkang Yang, Daan van Knippenberg, Anne Nederveen Pieterse, Jia Li

A culturally diverse team can contain more knowledge and still perform poorly. The missing ingredient may be whether people actually exchange ideas across cultural lines, rather than staying inside familiar circles.

Comprehensive Formulation of Power Balance and Exergy Analysis for the Assessment of Highly Integrated Transport Aircraft 3:34

Comprehensive Formulation of Power Balance and Exergy Analysis for the Assessment of Highly Integrated Transport Aircraft

Boris Britto, Myles Zabel, Rolf Radespiel, Bernhard Weigand

Future aircraft may save energy by making the engine and the wing work as one. But that very integration makes a basic question surprisingly hard: where does the engine’s push end and the aircraft’s drag begin?
