From a port city to a tourist city: dispossession of the public spaces in central Santa Cruz de Tenerife

We analyse the transformation of public spaces in Santa Cruz de Tenerife through interventions on its waterfront and drawing on a mixed-method approach. Changes have reconfigured not only their material characteristics but also the symbolic constructions traditionally associated...

Dietary (Poly)phenol Intake, Inflammatory Biomarkers, and Mild Cognitive Impairment in Italian Adults

Background: Dietary (poly)phenols have been proposed to protect against age-related cognitive decline through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective mechanisms. However, evidence specifically addressing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remains limited. This study inve...

ACVAM-DA: An Open-Valence Metareflective Architecture for Artificial Autonomy and Consciousness Research

This article introduces the Open-Valence Metareflective Cyclic Architecture with Autonomous Development (ACVAM-DA), a falsifiable conceptual framework for investigating artificial autonomy, metacognition, hierarchical self-modification, and theory-derived indicators of consciousn...

Fixed-excess simple paths in multidimensional king graphs

Let K_{d,n} = P_n^{⊠d} be the d-fold strong product of a path, with opposite corners s and t. For k ≥ 0, let C_{d,k}(n) count simple s–t paths with n − 1 + k edges. Coordinate deficits show that every such path has at most dk moves other than the positive main diagonal. We prove...
