Background: Unsupervised cognitive assessments are becoming commonly used in studies of aging and neurodegenerative diseases. As assessments are completed in everyday environments and without a proctor, there are concerns about how common distractions may impact performance and whether these distractions may differentially impact those experiencing the earliest symptoms of dementia.
Objective: We examined the impact of self-reported interruptions, testing location, and social context during testing on remote cognitive assessments in older adults.

Integration of ultrathin, high-quality gate insulators is critical to the success of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor transistors in next-generation nanoelectronics. Here, we investigate the impact of atomic layer deposition (ALD) precursor choice on the nucleation and growth of insulators on monolayer MoS. Surveying a series of aluminum (AlO) precursors, we observe that increasing the length of the ligands reduces the nucleation delay of alumina on monolayer MoS, a phenomenon that we attribute to improved van der Waals dispersion interactions with the 2D material.

Purpose: Residual speech sound disorder (RSSD) is a high-prevalence condition that can limit children's academic and social participation, with negative consequences for overall well-being. Previous studies have described visual biofeedback as a promising option for RSSD, but results have been inconclusive due to study design limitations and small sample sizes.
Method: In a preregistered randomized controlled trial, 108 children aged 9-15 years with RSSD affecting American English /ɹ/ were randomly assigned to receive treatment incorporating visual biofeedback (subdivided into ultrasound and visual-acoustic types) or a comparison condition of motor-based treatment consistent with current best practices in speech therapy.

Introduction: Monkeypox (mpox) is an emerging infectious disease with increasing global incidence. Limited evidence exists regarding its impact on pregnancy and perinatal outcomes, especially in low-resource settings. The objective was to systematically synthesize current evidence on maternal and fetal outcomes associated with mpox infection during pregnancy.

This study applies Fisher's investment framework to investigate how patient capital affects firms' green total factor productivity (GTFP). Using panel data from Chinese listed companies over the period 2008-2023, we measure firm-level GTFP by employing a non-radial SBM directional distance function combined with the Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index. Our analysis, based on two-way fixed-effects models and instrumental variable regressions, reveals that an increase in patient capital significantly enhances firms' green total factor productivity.
