Leadership, institutional autonomy, and cross-sector collaboration: Catalysts for change in a survey of China's public sector employees.

Background: This study examines the relationships among leadership styles (transformational and paternalistic) and institutional autonomy, cross-sector collaboration, governance system flexibility, and decentralization within the Chinese public sector. While grounded in China's public administration, the findings contribute to broader governance theories by highlighting global mechanisms that may apply to other hierarchical and centralized administrative systems.

Method: We employed a convenience sampling approach using a sample of 1358 public employees from various government departments across major Chinese municipalities, ensuring representation across diverse regions and departments.

Sleep Disorders and Constipation in Autistic Children and Youth: Who Receives Standard of Care Drug Treatments?

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective cohort analysis was to investigate sex differences in receipt of standard of care sleep and constipation drug treatments among autistic children and youth with sleep disorder and constipation, respectively.

Methods: We used the data from the OneFlorida + Data Trust to analyze healthcare claims for 19,877 autistic patients with sleep disorder and 32,355 patients with constipation, ages 1 to 22. We used logistic regression to examine sex differences in receiving sleep and constipation treatments, and a multivariate logistic regression model to further assess sex differences in ever receiving sleep and constipation treatments, adjusting for age, race, ethnicity, and urbanicity.

Measurement of Very-High-Energy Diffuse Gamma-Ray Emissions from the Galactic Plane with LHAASO-WCDA.

The diffuse Galactic gamma-ray emission is a very important tool used to study the propagation and interaction of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. In this Letter, we report the measurements of the diffuse emission from the Galactic plane-covering Galactic longitudes from 15° to 235° and latitudes from -5° to +5°, in an energy range of 1 to 25 TeV-made with the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA) of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory. After the sky regions of known sources are masked, the diffuse emission is detected with 24.

Melt-Infusion-Induced Electrolyte Surface Coating Stabilized Sulfide-Based All-Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries.

Sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLBs) are a potentially safe and high-energy electrochemical storage technology. The continuous interfacial degradation within sulfide solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) and Li metal however hinders Li transport and induces inhomogeneous Li deposition. Herein, we propose a melt-infusion method to introduce lithium trifluorosulfonylimide (LiTFSI) on LiPSCl (LPSCl) particles as an artificial coating.

Identify the potential target of efferocytosis in knee osteoarthritis synovial tissue: a bioinformatics and machine learning-based study.

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the progressive deterioration of cartilage and synovial inflammation. A critical mechanism in the pathogenesis of KOA is impaired efferocytosis in synovial tissue. The present study aimed to identify and validate key efferocytosis-related genes (EFRGs) in KOA synovial tissue by using comprehensive bioinformatics and machine learning approaches.
