University digital media co-occurrence networks reveal structure and dynamics of brand visibility in the attention economy by Alexander Michael Petersen

“…Yet our understanding of the factors that condition the structure and dynamics of brand stratification within regional IHE ecosystems is limited. Instead, our best approximation for brand equity derives from widespread IHE rankings, which lack contextual and relational features for understanding the patterns of engagement in the fast-moving attention economy, and in particular how institutional partnerships can generate brand equity by leveraging ecosystem network effects. …”

Turning Agricultural Biomass Ash into a Valuable Resource in the Construction Industry—Exploring the Potential of Industrial Symbiosis by Olivera Bedov, Ana Andabaka, Suzana Draganić

“…A case study of companies in the Republic of Serbia that produce SHA as waste forms the basis for this model, featuring promising results of experimental testing of three alkali-activated mortars produced by activating ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) with different SHA contents (15, 25 and 35 wt% GGBFS), instead of commercially available hydroxide activators. …”

Fabrication of Bilayer Coating of Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-Halloysite/Chitosan and Mg2+/Sr2+-Doped HAP on Titanium Alloy for Biomedical Implant Applications: Physicochemica... by Manickam Chozhanathmisra, Dharman Govindaraj, Palanisamy Karthikeyan, Kannaiyan Pandian, Liviu Mitu, Rangappan Rajavel

“…Here, we prefer to use a bilayer coating on titanium alloys instead of single coating. The adhesion and biocompatibility of titanium alloy is improved by coating with a bilayer, for example, PEDOT-HNT/CS-MHA composite using the electrochemical deposition method. …”

The presence of elafin, SLPI, IL1-RA and STNFα RI in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas and their relation to the degree of tumour differentiation by U. Westin, M. Nyström, I. Ljungcrantz, B. Eriksson, K. Ohlsson

“…Since these cytokines can both be difficult to detect, we chose to study their inhibitors, STNF α RI and IL1-RA, instead. IL1-RA was expressed in highly differentiated tumours as well as in poorly differentiated ones. …”

Comparative Analysis of Drilling Behaviour of Synthetic and Natural Fiber-Based Composites by A. Mohan Kumar, R. Rajasekar, P. Manoj Kumar, R. Parameshwaran, Alagar Karthick, M. Muhibbullah

“…The following may be responsible for lower thrust force: (1) the axial force distributes circumferential of the cutting tool instead of focusing at the center and (2) the interfacial adhesiveness between the matrix and the fiber is higher. …”

Transforming Children’s Attitudes Toward Insects Through In-School Encounters by Kathleen M. Miller, Dana K. Beegle, Stephanie Blevins Wycoff, Daniel L. Frank

“…In response, the department launched Hokie BugFest on the Go, which offered smaller-scale, in-person learning opportunities during these closures. Instead of hosting the community on campus, Virginia Tech’s Department of Entomology brought live arthropods, university experts, and the exciting science of entomology directly into schools, fostering small-group, hands-on learning experiences. …”

Paradox in Disaster Management: 2020 Aegean Sea Earthquake by Alper Bilgili, Gaye Sanatcı Aktaş

“…The paradigm shift in the understanding of public administration has brought some changes in disaster management as well. Instead of a command-control-based centralized and bureaucratic disaster management approach that requires bureaucratic expertise, a multi-actor and solidarist disaster management approach, in which authorities and responsibilities are not constructed from top to bottom, has gained weight. …”

R. V. Cuhna. Will I ever be a Cyborg? / trans. from Engl. R. L. Kochnev by R. L. Kochnev

“…Eric Olson’s animalist view relies on the premise that person is not a fit candidate to be a substance concept, in Wiggins’s terminology. Instead, he claims, animal is what best serves as the answer to what we most fundamentally are and what determines our persistence conditions. …”

Fibromyalgia syndrome—a bodily distress disorder/somatic symptom disorder? by Winfried Häuser, Mary-Ann Fitzcharles, Peter Henningsen

“…Previously, the ICD-10 diagnosis of somatoform disorder was often used by mental health care disciplines instead of the label FMS. Somatoform disorders category has been eliminated as a diagnostic category in the ICD-11 and the 5th version Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and has been replaced with the new categories of bodily distress disorder (BDD) and somatic symptom disorder (SSD) respectively. …”
