Age‐Specific Temporal Trends and Climate‐Associated Seasonality of Appendectomy in Japan: A Nationwide Population‐Based Study Using the National Database

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigated nationwide temporal trends, age‐specific changes, and seasonal variations in appendectomies in Japan using the national database of health insurance claims and specific health checkups (NDB). Methods Data on appendectomies (open [OA] and laparoscopic [LA]) were extracted from the 2018–2023 NDB Open Data.

Modular design and supervisory control for enhanced economic resilience in continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Conventional continuous plants use fixed‐capacity equipment, resulting in high capital risk and suboptimal performance under fluctuating demands. To address these, this study proposes an integrated framework for modular process design and supervisory control capable of adapting to demand uncertainty for long‐term economic viability.

A Vacuum‐Suction and Rotate End Effector for Robotic Apple Fruitlet Thinning: Comparative Development, Integrated Field Evaluation, and Preliminary Harvesting

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Robotic apple thinning is constrained by a single field season confined to a few weeks each year. An efficient design process screens four detachment concepts off‐season using an artificial fruitlet structure, with field trials identifying vacuum suction and rotation as the most effective approach.

Digital Transformation in Higher Education in the AI Era: A Systematic Review of Definitions and Emerging Trends

AI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Digital transformation (DT) remains inconsistently defined in higher education, particularly as artificial intelligence (AI) introduces new institutional capabilities and responsibilities. This systematic review synthesizes 40 retrievable peer‐reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2025 to examine how DT is defined, which institutional ...
