Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the costs and organizational benefits of diagnostic workup without and with MRI dedicated to the ED. The results showed that using MRI in the ED for diagnostic purposes can reduce clinical decision time and total costs, making it a relevant approach.

Summary: This study analyzes the genomic data from the fifth-millennium BCE site of Fleury-sur-Orne in Normandy, France, which is famous for its monumental burial structures. The results reveal that the burials at the site include 19 individuals, with two pairs identified as father and son. The analysis also suggests that each monument represents a genetically independent lineage. Furthermore, the genetic diversity of the site aligns with western European Neolithic populations, and a new genetic group is detected after 4,000 BCE. Interestingly, the presence of a female burial challenges the assumption of a strictly male-focused burial rite.

Summary: Phase change in multiphase flows is a complex process that requires advanced numerical methods to consider jump conditions at the interface. This study presents a numerical formalism dedicated to turbulent two-phase flows with compressible effects and proper treatment of jump conditions. Experimental validation cases illustrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed method.

Summary: This study investigated the improvement of South African food labels for enhancing customer evaluation of packaged food's overall healthiness. Through qualitative interviews and consumer testing, the research found that health warnings and low health star ratings were effective in helping consumers identify unhealthy products. The findings not only provide guidance for improving food labels in South Africa, but also offer insights for label format selection in other regions.

Summary: This paper explores the impact of minimal-self on body image as a reflection of one's approach towards health and mental well-being. Using qualitative data from India and Germany, the study examines body image perspectives from Grimms Brothers fairytale characters. The results show that body image projection can be related to positive self-reflection or a competitive/success-oriented approach.

Summary: Iron deficiency is a widespread health problem that affects women, vegans, vegetarians, and athletes. Biofortification of vitamin C-rich vegetables with iron is a potential solution to this nutritional challenge. A survey of 1000 consumers in Germany found that between 54% and 79% of respondents were interested in iron-biofortified vegetables. Product acceptance was related to gender, area of residence, and consumer preferences for enjoyment, sustainability, and naturalness. Fresh iron-rich vegetables were preferred over functional food and dietary supplements, and consumers were willing to pay EUR 0.10 to EUR 0.20 more for them.

Summary: This study examines how multiple exposures to Internet celebrity endorsements influence consumers' click and purchase decisions. The findings suggest that Internet celebrity endorsements play a significant role in driving referral traffic to e-commerce sites, but have less impact on conversion to sales.

Summary: In this study, a newly synthesized bifunctional organic chromophore with appealing spectroscopic and nonlinear optical features was presented. The dye showed positive solvatochromism as the positions of absorption and emission maxima varied with increasing solvent polarity. The investigated organic-based system demonstrated significant optical signal modulation and the ability to generate second and third harmonic signals, making it a promising candidate for optoelectronic devices and complex networks.

Summary: This paper investigates the barriers faced by older consumers in in-store shopping experiences and explores how new retail technologies can help them achieve a sense of inclusion. The findings reveal the limited interactions between older consumers and in-store technologies, the need for developing new technologies to support them, and the potential exclusionary effects of these technologies. The results provide guidelines for retailers to enhance the sense of inclusion for older consumers through better utilization of new technologies.

Summary: With the development of the Internet age, traceable food has become an important tool in addressing food safety issues. Traceability knowledge, traceable information quality, and traceability certification credibility indirectly affect consumers' purchase intention through perceived risk and perceived value, with peer influence playing a moderating role.

Summary: Clozapine, a second-generation antipsychotic drug used for treating schizophrenia, is limited in use due to serious side effects but remains the first-choice for drug-resistant schizophrenia. A new nanocarrier for clozapine has been developed to target specific parts of the brain, potentially improving treatment outcomes.

Summary: Anthropomorphic food labels, such as Thin cookie or Fat burger, have been found to influence consumers' food choices, particularly among vulnerable populations like those with overweight and obesity. This study conducted a natural field experiment in a restaurant to explore how these labels affect the food choices of individuals with different weight statuses. The study found that individuals with overweight/obesity were more likely to choose small portion items when they were labeled as Regular/Plus Size compared to when labeled as Slim/Regular. These findings have implications for marketing and policy regarding food labeling and their impact on vulnerable populations' food consumption.
