Unpacking the dynamics of synergising circular economy (CE) principles in modular buildings
Abstract Introduction: Systemic building design is a critical starting point for enabling Circular Economy (CE) transitions in the Building Construction Industry (BCI) and advancing modern methods such as Industrialised Construction (IC). However, in practice, design approaches promoting circularity and those supporting manufacturing-led construction are often pursued separately, creating misalignments that limit both sustainability and productivity outcomes.
Pseudo point nodal superconducting gap in spin-triplet UTe 2
Abstract UTe2 is an unconventional heavy-fermion superconductor discussed as a candidate for spin-triplet pairing. However, conflicting reports on gap structure, particularly regarding point nodes, have hindered understanding of the order parameter symmetry. Here, we report b-axis thermal conductivity κb/T measurements on high-quality UTe2 single crystals down to ~ 50 mK that definitively resolve the gap anisotropy.
Reentrant Landau levels in a Dirac topological insulator
Abstract Pentatellurides have emerged as an ideal platform for exploring topological phase transitions and their electronic properties. Positioned at the boundary between a strong and weak topological insulator phase, their low carrier density and linear dispersion enable a three-dimensional Dirac Hamiltonian description. A complete understanding of these materials remains elusive due to unexplained sample variability.
Abstract A038: Mechanisms of resistance to PD-L1/PARP1-targeted therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer inferred by liquid biopsy
Background: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) exhibits high mortality due to the emergence of therapy resistance phenotypes. We recently tested a novel combination therapy in patients with mCRPC who had progressed on androgen receptor (AR)-targeted therapies, targeting PD-L1 and PARP1 with durvalumab and olaparib, respectively. While a subset of patients exhibited partial responses, most patients experienced disease progression within a year.

Broadening the Comorbidity Landscape in Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy: Beyond the Usual Suspects
We read with great interest the article by Kilburn et al. [1], which aimed to describe the prevalence of comorbidities in individuals with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) using data from the MD STARnet. Although this study offers valuable epidemiological data, several aspects warrant further clarification and expansion to enhance the understanding of comorbidities in FSHD. A major limitation of this study is the lack of consideration for other comorbidities.
PRevention intervention and Support in Mental health for people with aphasia (Aphasia PRISM): acceptability and feasibility results of two mixed methods feasibility studies
ABSTRACT Background Interventions are available to support psychological care for those with aphasia after stroke. However, barriers restrict their implementation in healthcare services. The Stepped Psychological Care Framework can inform multidisciplinary stroke clinicians on the level of management required for emotional problems. Based on level 1 preventative interventions, we developed the Aphasia PRevention Intervention and Support in Mental health program (Aphasia PRISM).

Quantum order by disorder is a key to understanding the magnetic phases of BaCo2(AsO4)2 - npj Quantum Materials
Abstract BaCo2(AsO4)2 (BCAO), a honeycomb cobaltate, is considered a promising candidate for materials displaying the Kitaev quantum spin liquid state. This assumption is based on the distinctive characteristics of Co2+ ions (3d7) within an octahedral crystal environment, resulting in spin-orbit-coupled Jeff = 1/2 doublet states. However, recent experimental observations and theoretical analyses have raised questions regarding this hypothesis.

Corporate Culture, Special Items, and Firm Performance
1. Introduction Recent studies identify that corporate culture, a qualitative item, affects the quantitative aspects of a firm. Stronger corporate culture leads to higher firm performance (Denison 1990; Gordon and DiTomaso 1992; Sorensen 2002; O’Reilly et al. 2014; Guiso et al. 2015), easier access to external finance (Jiang et al. 2019), higher operational efficiency (Li et al. 2021), and lower bank debt (Hasan 2022).

Localized $f$-electron magnetism in the semimetal ${\mathrm{Ce}}_{3}{\mathrm{Bi}}_{4}{\mathrm{Au}}_{3}$
Ce3Bi4Au3 crystallizes in the same noncentrosymmetric cubic structure as the prototypical Kondo insulator Ce3Bi4Pt3. Here we report the physical properties of Ce3Bi4Au3 single crystals using magnetization, thermodynamic, and electrical-transport measurements. Magnetic-susceptibility and heat-capacity data reveal antiferromagnetic order below TN=3.2K. The magnetic entropy Smag reaches Rln2 slightly above TN, which suggests localized 4f moments in a doublet ground state.
Yuan Buddhist Centers as the Hub of Monastic Certification: Travels by Korean Monks to China and Some Underlying Reasons
1. Introduction There was a curious Korean Buddhist custom, noticeably during the latter part of the Koryŏ (918–1392) dynasty that saw Korean monks make the arduous trip to the Buddhist centers on the mainland by sea and overland. Why did so many monks undertake this journey despite the dangers of such a long and daunting trip?
OC09.04: Uterine contractility of adenomyosis patients normalises under hormonal contraception use
Objectives Comparison of uterine contractility (UC) in adenomyosis patients (AP) with and without hormonal contraception (HC) compared to healthy controls with HC, measured by transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS). Methods This study is part of an ongoing multicentre prospective observational cohort study investigating UC on TVUS. 36 women with sonographic suspicion of adenomyosis without HC, 15 women with sonographic suspicion of adenomyosis with HC and 17 women with healthy uteri with HC were included.

Phys. Rev. B 106, L161105 (2022) - Ground state of ${\mathrm{Ce}}_{3}{\mathrm{Bi}}_{4}{\mathrm{Pd}}_{3}$ unraveled by hydrostatic pressure
Noncentrosymmetric Ce${}_{3}$Bi${}_{4}$Pd${}_{3}$ has recently attracted tremendous attention as a strongly correlated topological semimetal candidate. Conflicting experimental results, however, argue for either a Weyl Kondo semimetallic or a narrow-gap Kondo insulating ground state. Using electrical transport measurements on bulk crystals and microstructure devices under hydrostatic pressure, the authors show that Ce${}_{3}$Bi${}_{4}$Pd${}_{3}$ exhibits a narrow-gap Kondo insulating ground state.

Four consecutive transitions at ∼5.2, 2.1, 0.9, and 0.4 K were observed in the ac-plane electrical resistivity ρ(T), which were further confirmed in specific heat Cp(T) measurements.
