The number of women referred to a clinic with pregnancy-associated cancer will increase as NIPT providers will be able to better recognize malignant-suspicious NIPT from foetal aneuploidy screening. Reporting malignancy suspicious-NIPT results may be a step forward in detecting cancers and could enable an earlier diagnosis and start of cancer therapy, especially for haematological malignancies and advanced solid tumours.

This study examines the impact of science outreach programs on university researchers working with vulnerable populations.

Nanoclay-Based Sustainable Materials: Functional Properties, Characterization, and Multifaceted Applications, Volume , 1 January 2024

In this chapter, interesting research progress on nanoclay-based materials for energy storage and conversion applications is discussed. Some of the notable advantages of using this class of materials for electrochemical applications include its availability, low cost, porous structures, hydrophilic nature, high specific surface, high thermal stability, mechanical stability, and good ionic conductivity. The discussion speculates that the field can be potentially employed in fabricating inexpensive, scalable, application-specific nanoclay-based materials for advanced energy applications.

This study examines the social adaptation of Ukrainian refugee students in Czech schools through interviews with students, parents, teachers, and headteachers. Using Berry's acculturation model, it identifies three adaptation types�openness to friendship, utilitarian friendships, and (self-)isolation�shaped by ethnicity, language acquisition, and peer interactions.

This paper analyzes Danish population data to identify and compare three distinct transgender subpopulations: those who changed their legal sex, those with trans-related medical diagnoses, and those who self-identify as transgender in surveys, revealing significant differences in socioeconomic and health outcomes among them. It highlights that transgender individuals seeking medical or legal transition face greater disadvantages, and that survey-based estimates do not fully capture the diversity or needs of the transgender population.
