This short commentary is a general analysis of the current state of the knowledge-policy relationship in the disaster field. This "science-policy interface" was described as fundamental in the 2015 UN Sendai Framework. However, midway to the 2030 deadline, there have been concerns from both the UN and academia about the lack of policy compared to research production. This suggests that barriers to this relationship may exist. To explain these, recent scholarship on factors influencing the general relationship between knowledge and policy is examined. Aspects of the "shape" of disaster research and its effect on policy creation are also examined, and a new direction is proposed. How the UN's initial approach plausibly did not support this interface is also explained; however, more recent advocacy suggests that the organization has taken a new approach that may prove effective. Overall, a debate within the disaster field about its role in policy creation may be necessary.

Cognitive impairment represents a progressive neurodegenerative condition with severity ranging from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia and exerts significant burdens on both individuals and healthcare systems. Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) represents a heterogeneous clinical continuum, spanning a spectrum from subcortical ischemic VCI (featuring small vessel disease, white matter lesions, and lacunar infarcts) to mixed dementia, where vascular and Alzheimer's-type pathologies coexist. While traditionally linked to macro- and microvascular dysfunction, the mechanisms underlying VCI remain complex.

Vibrationally resolved resonant Auger spectroscopy (RAS) on bound-continuum transitions enables highly sensitive probing of ultrafast dissociation in molecular core-excited states, where a distinct fragment band arises from Auger decay in dissociation fragments. Here, we theoretically investigate fragment band formation driven by ultrashort X-ray pulses. Unlike conventional molecular bands, fragment RAS peaks exhibit an insensitivity to strong X-ray Rabi oscillations.

The rational design of π-conjugated covalent organic frameworks (COFs) represents a promising frontier in functional porous materials for drug delivery, particularly when conjugation-affinity correlations can be harnessed. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a structurally unique phenazine-linked π-conjugated COF (TU-32) constructed from 2,7-di--butylpyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone and 9,10-dihydro-9,10-[1,2]benzenoanthracene-2,3,6,7,14,15-hexaamine hexahydrochloride. In contrast to conventional 2D COFs that exhibit π-π stacking, this COF adopts an atypical AB stacking mode along the -axis, resulting in suppressed interlayer π-stacking and enhanced structural regularity.

Background: Extended reality (XR), a nomenclature covering virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR), has emerged as a breakthrough technology in dental and medical sciences. However, the scope, effectiveness, and limitations of these technologies still remain unclear.
Aim: The aim of the present scoping review is to systematically outline the current state of XR applications for orthodontic treatment planning and simulation.

Large lossless currents in high-temperature superconductors (HTS) critically rely on dense defects with suitable size and dimensionality to pin vortices, with dislocations being particularly effective due to their 1D geometry to interact extensively with vortex lines. However, in non-metallic compounds such as HTS with rigid lattices, conventional deformation methods typically lead to catastrophic fracture rather than dislocation-mediated plasticity, making it a persistent challenge to introduce dislocations at high density. Here, an asymmetric stress field strategy is proposed using extrusion to directly nucleate a high density of dislocations in HTS by activating shear-driven lattice slip and twisting under superimposed hydrostatic compression.
