Honesty in Difficult Conversations: Insights From Healthcare Professionals

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When being honest is expected to cause emotional distress to those it concerns, it can be difficult to practice. This study examines how honesty is understood and accounted for in situations of emotional, moral and relational complexity. Drawing on semi‐structured interviews with 16 Danish healthcare professionals (8 doctors and 8 nurses), we ...

The genetic architecture of epilepsy across molecular mechanisms and clinical heterogeneity

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy comprises a highly heterogeneous group of neurological disorders unified by a persistent predisposition to recurrent seizures, yet driven by remarkably diverse genetic, molecular, and network‐level mechanisms. Advances in genomic technologies have revealed that epilepsy arises from a multilayered genetic architecture encompassing rare

Inter‐Material Transfer Learning for Accelerated Nanofluid Heat Transfer Prediction: A Machine Learning Approach for Energy Systems

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study presents an inter‐material transfer learning framework for nanofluid heat transfer prediction in energy systems. By leveraging knowledge from Al2O3‐water data, the model accurately predicts hybrid Al2O3‐TiO2 nanofluid performance with only 20 simulations, achieving R2 = 0.985 and reducing computational requirements by 78.
