Painless Biosensing for Non‐Invasive Health Monitoring: Advances, Platforms and Future Directions

Ayub Alam, Faiqa Gull, Muzammal Hameed, Iqra Iqbal, Saira Naz, Hadia Noor, Ammara Aslam, Sana Younis, Valentina Vit, Muhammad Aqib Mehmood, Nicola Coppedé

ABSTRACT Non‐invasive biosensing has expanded blood‐based diagnostics into a growing set of accessible peripheral biofluids, yet most existing reviews remain confined to sweat, tears, saliva and urine, and treat the underlying literature descriptively rather than critically. Here, we present a review that extends this scope to include interstitial fluid and breath/exhaled breath condensate, two increasingly important non‐invasive matrices that have been largely absent from prior synthesis, and that explicitly disti …

An Analysis of the Causes of the Widening Gender Ideological Divide in Recent Years

Qiao Qiao

The gender ideological gap—the difference between men's and women's views on politics, family, and social equality—has grown markedly among young adults in recent years. Women have shifted toward more liberal positions, while men have moved increasingly toward conservatism. At first glance, that pattern runs against conventional expectations: as gender equality advances, ideological differences between the sexes might be expected to narrow, not widen. This paper examines why polarization has become stronger, partic …

Chao Pan, Zheng Jiang, Tingting Song

ABSTRACT Although overqualification among public employees is becoming increasingly prevalent, previous studies have largely overlooked its nonlinear effects. Based on Conservation of Resources Theory, this study analyzes data from 2089 civil servants and finds that: (1) A U‐shaped relationship exists between perceived overqualification and performance, with this relationship mediated by task significance. (2) Public service motivation moderates the impact of overqualification on task significance. These findings o …
