With the introduction of Janus kinase inhibitors like tofacitinib, the treatment landscape for ulcerative colitis (UC) is changing quickly. Response heterogeneity is still a significant clinical challenge in spite of its quick onset and oral convenience. Extending tofacitinib induction beyond the standard eight weeks can produce significant benefits in a subset of patients without sacrificing safety, according to evidence from pivotal trials and real-world studies. We review recent real-world evidence, highlight lessons learnt from extended induction therapy, and present a practical framework to help guide tailored treatment decisions in this editorial. After 16 weeks of prolonged induction, more than half of patients with moderate-to-severe UC experienced remission, with durable persistence and favorable safety, according to a multicenter 52-week real-world study published in this issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology . Crucially, outcomes and maintenance dosing were impacted by modifiable factors like smoking and biologic exposure. Mechanistic findings support a response-guided rather than fixed-duration induction paradigm by indicating that immune kinetics, mucosal healing rates, and previous biologic exposure may account for delayed responses. An effective, patient-centered strategy that could maximize tofacitinib’s therapeutic potential and assist in guiding refractory UC patients towards long-term remission is extended induction.

In accordance with the requirement of the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC), journal issue data from the List of Peer-reviewed scientific publications in which the main scientific results of dissertations for the degree of Candidate of Sciences and for the degree of Doctor of Sciences (HAC List) have been regularly published in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) in the bibliographic database eLibrary.ru for more than 20 years. In March 2023, the editorial offices of journals from the HAC List, in accordance with the recommendation of the HAC, have post data of 2022 year issues in the Russian Scientific Journals database (RSJ) created by the Russian Scientific Research Institute RIEPP. In April 2025, by order of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, a new requirement was added — for a journal from the HAC List, along with registration in the RISC eLibrary.ru, registration in the Information System (IS) “Metaphora”, developed by the Russian Center for Scientific Information, is required. Journals from the HAC List are recommended to regularly transfer metadata of published issues of journals to the “Metaphora” through specially organized interfaces. What role do the RSJ and “Metaphora” databases play in the infrastructure of scientific publications? In addition, according to commission of the Government of the Russian Federation, the Russian Center for Scientific Information performs the function of the operator of the “White List” of scientific journals. The “White List” in 2023 was formed by the Interdepartmental Working Group (IWG) of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. The "White List" is supposed to be used to monitor and evaluate the publication activity of Russian scientists. The "White List" currently includes about 29,000 English-language international journals and about 1,000 Russian-language journals from the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) database. In 2025, the Russian-language part of the "White List" significantly expanded due to the inclusion of journals from HAC List into the "White List". We would like to receive detailed information from the ideologists of the "White List" on how the levels (U1, U2, U3, U4) of the “White List” journals and the categories (K1, K2, K3) of journals on the HAC List will correspond?

This study examines digital press criticism in China, with an emphasis on the much-debated 2023 Zhang Xuefeng controversy. By analyzing video post content and discourse on Douyin and Bilibili, it examines how Chinese netizens, empowered by digital technologies, actively engage in press criticism and vocally express their opinions on Chinese journalism’s failures. Their criticisms challenge journalism’s legitimacy by highlighting deep-seated problems with Chinese journalism, including growing state control and diminishing public service. We argue that digital press criticism in this context should not be dismissed as merely “mob censorship,” but rather needs to be placed in the context of China’s strategic empowerment and governance of digital “civil society.” Following an analysis of the pluralistic and contested nature of the digital public’s criticisms of state and state-dominated journalism, we reflect on how far these criticisms might not only highlight issues in contemporary Chinese journalism publicly, but also offer resources for its potential reform and renewal.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a profoundly heterogeneous condition, encompassing a wide spectrum of symptom presentations, from contamination fears to sexual obsessions, moral scrupulosity, and pathological doubt. While cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) incorporating exposure and response prevention (ERP) and challenging of dysfunctional obsessive beliefs remains the gold standard treatment, a growing body of literature has drawn attention to the limitations of traditional approaches. These include high drop-out rates, partial or nonresponse, and difficulty in addressing trauma-related or value-conflicted obsessional content through traditional fear-based exposure hierarchies. Continual refinement and innovation of psychotherapeutic approaches to OCD is therefore essential, not only for enhancing clinical efficacy, but also for increasing engagement, retention and meaning in therapy. This issue of Journal of Clinical Psychology: In Session brings together five in-depth clinical case studies, each exemplifying a distinct yet complementary advance in the treatment of OCD. Taken together, these cases provide a rich, practice-based insight into the diversity, complexity, and personalization of effective therapy, challenging us to expand our understanding of what constitutes successful treatment for OCD.

Two $k$-ary Fibonacci recurrences are $a_k(n) = a_k(n-1) + k \cdot a_k(n-2)$ and $b_k(n) = k \cdot b_k(n-1) + b_k(n-2)$. We provide a simple proof that $a_k(n)$ is the number of $k$-regular words over $[n] = \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ that avoid patterns $\{121, 123, 132, 213\}$ when using base cases $a_k(0) = a_k(1) = 1$ for any $k \geq 1$. This was previously proven by Kuba and Panholzer in the context of Wilf-equivalence for restricted Stirling permutations, and it creates Simion and Schmidt's classic result on the Fibonacci sequence when $k=1$, and the Jacobsthal sequence when $k=2$. We complement this theorem by proving that $b_k(n)$ is the number of $k$-regular words over $[n]$ that avoid $\{122, 213\}$ with $b_k(0) = b_k(1) = 1$ for any~$k \geq 2$. Finally, we conjecture that $|Av^{2}_{n}(\underline{121}, 123, 132, 213)| = a_1(n)^2$ for $n \geq 0$. That is, vincularizing the Stirling pattern in Kuba and Panholzer's Jacobsthal result gives the Fibonacci-squared numbers. 20 pages, submitted to special journal issue for Permutation Patterns 2023 (PP23) in DMTCS

Abstract Editing an academic journal in applied linguistics (AL) or English language teaching (ELT) is a complex process that involves much decision-making. Most editors are full-time academics with competing priorities, and therefore more resources are needed, particularly for aspiring and emerging editors, on editorial decision-making and editors’ challenges and experiences. In 2021, I took on the role of editing the English Australia Journal , entailing a steep learning curve. To help me process and better understand issues that I encountered along the way, I began to keep a diary, which, at the end of my four-year tenure, comprised 117 entries with each one containing 70–115 words. Underpinned by a theoretical framework comprising autoethnography and life capital, the aim of this study is to analyse the diary data thematically to gain insights into my lived experiences as a journal editor. Findings show that I encountered five challenges (submissions, workload, review process, forthcoming journal issue, personal struggles) with nine mitigating factors (sense of purpose + meaning, editorial team, pipeline of manuscripts, flexible schedule, manuscript solicitation, reviewer recruitment, dealing with weaker submissions, communication, improvements to copy-editing process) helping me deal with these challenges. The paper concludes with a discussion about ‘uncontrollable’ and ‘controllable’ challenges, as well as the existence of a reciprocal relationship between challenges, mitigating factors, and life capital. This relationship highlights the importance of AL and/or ELT journal editors’ agency in drawing on their life capital to navigate editorial responsibilities, while challenges and mitigating factors also contribute to the extension of one’s own life capital.

It is with great pleasure that I introduce the 50th issue of the Brazilian Journal of Analytical Chemistry (BrJAC), which once again reflects the vitality, diversity, and innovation of our community. The contributions gathered here span fundamental reflections, methodological advances, and applications that resonate with both academic research and industrial practice. We begin with an interview with Professor José Alberto Fracassi da Silva, whose career and insights exemplify the dedication and creativity that continue to shape analytical chemistry in Brazil and beyond. The Point of View article by Josué Carinhanha Caldas Santos addresses the controversial topic of thimerosal, an organic mercury compound historically used as a vaccine preservative. The Letter by Wendel Andrade Alves highlights the promise of polymeric microneedles as analytical interfaces for biosensing and controlled drug release. This concise yet forward-looking piece underscores how analytical chemistry intersects with biomedical innovation, pointing toward exciting future challenges. Our Review article, authored by Amanda Mohr and colleagues, provides a comprehensive overview of the greenness metrics used to evaluate analytical methods. In an era where sustainability is no longer optional but essential, this synthesis offers valuable guidance for researchers and practitioners committed to greener laboratories and more responsible science. Several original contributions further demonstrate the innovative spirit of our community: updates to quantitative models in validation and routine comparative chemical methods; optimization and validation of ultrasound-assisted extraction for phosphorus analysis in cane syrup; a green and lean method for ivermectin analysis, certified by multiple sustainability metrics; an advanced microwave-assisted digestion method for rare earth element analysis in environmental matrices; and a comparative study of calcination and thermogravimetry techniques for quantifying carbon black in polymeric resins. Together, these contributions illustrate the breadth of analytical chemistry today: from sustainability metrics to biomedical interfaces, from food chemistry to environmental monitoring, and from methodological refinement to industrial applications. They remind us that analytical chemistry is not only a technical discipline but also a driver of societal progress, sustainability, and innovation. On behalf of the editorial team, I thank all authors, reviewers, and readers for their commitment to advancing our field. May this issue inspire new ideas, collaborations, and applications that continue to strengthen the role of analytical chemistry in addressing global challenges.

Synchrotron X-ray structural biology has developed into a worldwide, highly productive enterprise whose capabilities are providing thousands of users annually with the means to make innovative and outstanding scientific discoveries based on biological structure and function, impacting areas of human health, bioenergy and sustainability and many others. This special virtual issue of Journal of Synchrotron Radiation (https://journals.iucr.org/special_issues/2025/ssrlprotein) includes a series of contributed papers from scientists at structural biology synchrotron centers worldwide that describe capabilities, scientific discoveries and future directions. In my article, I will start with a focus on the first macromolecular crystallography studies at SSRL that were published in 1976, followed by developments in anomalous scattering and multi-wavelength phasing. I will then highlight some technology and methodology developments including X-ray detectors and beamline automation, which were key in building robust, sustainable resources at SSRL and other synchrotron radiation facilities for the structural biology user community. I will highlight other related elements including accelerator R&D, consider some of the overarching factors which I believe have been important for the sustained success and growth of this enterprise for 50 years and counting, and highlight some of the indicators of the enormous success of this venture. Throughout I will comment upon some of the new developments and trends that are emerging.

This article is devoted to the forgotten debut novel Po zdrowie (“For Health”) by Ludwika Godlewska, whose action takes place in an exclusive South Tyrolean spa resort – Meran – popular at the close of the nineteenth century. The novel, not devoid of psychological ambition, depicts a small circle of Polish patients residing in Villa Parva. In Godlewska’s work, nineteenth-century struggles with the “white plague,” known to the author from her own experience, are presented in two dimensions: as an individual tragedy shown through the prism of the patients’ daily struggles, supported by doctors and their relatives, and as a challenge to science that late-nine teenth-century scholars sought to overcome. The treatment in which the protagonists place their faith was rooted in the medical recommendations of the time. Belonging to the genre of the spa novel, Godlewska’s work is presented here within a broad cultural context (the functioning and social role of spas in the nineteenth century, illustrated by the example of Meran, contemporary methods of treating tuberculosis, etc.). Given the nature of the novel and the main theme of this journal issue, an interdisciplinary approach has been adopted, drawing on the case-study method.

This editorial introduces the first issue of the AISI Journal of Sensory Integration and Child Development.

<p>As relative clauses may pose challenges to non-native speakers of English due to their<br />various forms and functions, the paper investigates the differences and similarities in the use of<br />relative clauses in the engineering texts between English and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (B/C/S).<br />The contrastive analysis of texts in the target languages was done on a corpus compiled from<br />two issues of the bilingual journal of mechanical engineering - Mašinstvo. The frequency counts<br />of relative clause were identified and the clauses were classified based on their restrictiveness,<br />relativizers, and, in the English subcorpus, their form. The findings indicate that restrictive<br />clauses dominate both subcorpora, while the choice of relativizers remains similar. However,<br />translation reveals interesting differences such as the use of reduced relative clauses in English<br />to represent various B/C/S expressions. Thus, the research yields pedagogically significant<br />insights for ESP instruction, given the limited contrastive analysis of relative clauses in the field.</p>
