This dataset offers valuable insights into the luminescence saturation behaviour of 63-90 µm quartz grains sourced from the Carpathian Basin, as examined under controlled laboratory conditions. Its significance lies not only in shedding light on the luminescence properties specific to this region but also in facilitating comparative analyses with quartz samples from other geographic areas. Moreover, the dataset contributes novel findings to the ongoing investigations concerning the upper dating limit of quartz grains, which holds implications for refining luminescence dating methodologies.

The human DEAD-box protein DDX3X is an RNA remodelling enzyme that has been implicated in various aspects of RNA metabolism. In addition, like many DEAD-box proteins, it has non-conventional functions that are independent of its enzymatic activity, e.g.

DEAD-box protein 3X (DDX3X) is a human DEAD-box protein with conventional roles in RNA metabolism and unconventional functions in signalling pathways that do not require its enzymatic activity. For example, DDX3X acts as a multifunctional adaptor molecule in anti-viral innate immune signalling pathways, where it interacts with and regulates the kinase IKB-kinase-epsilon (IIKKε). Interestingly, both DDX3X and IKKɛ have also independently been shown to act as breast cancer oncogenes.

Though reviews of specific aspects of this literature have been conducted no article has sought to fully chart the range and nature of this research. This article addresses this gap by synthesizing the findings of such research with consideration to the future implications for protecting the well-being of care workers.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to review the literature as this relates to theoretical perspectives of adherence to web-based interventions, drawing upon empirical evidence from the fields of psychology, business, information technology and health care.
Methods: A scoping review of the literature utilising principles outlined by Arksey and O'Malley was undertaken.
Results: Several relevant theoretical perspectives have emerged, eight of which are charted and discussed in this review.
Objectives: This review sought to determine what is currently known about the focus, form, and efficacy of web-based interventions that aim to support the well-being of workers and enable them to manage their work-related stress.
Method: A scoping review of the literature as this relates to web-based interventions for the management of work-related stress and supporting the psychological well-being of workers was conducted.
Results: Forty-eight web-based interventions were identified and reviewed, the majority of which (n = 37) were "individual" -focused and utilized cognitive-behavioral techniques, relaxation exercises, mindfulness, or cognitive behavior therapy.
Dynamic conservation of forest genetic resources (FGR) means maintaining the genetic diversity of trees within an evolutionary process and allowing generation turnover in the forest. We assessed the network of forests areas managed for the dynamic conservation of FGR (conservation units) across Europe (33 countries). On the basis of information available in the European Information System on FGR (EUFGIS Portal), species distribution maps, and environmental stratification of the continent, we developed ecogeographic indicators, a marginality index, and demographic indicators to assess and monitor forest conservation efforts.
