The haunted Umwelt: a biosemiotic and hauntological account of immune semiotic corruption in field cancerization

Abstract Field cancerization, the process wherein prior insults corrupt the semiotic landscape through which immune cells detect and respond to “the other”, persists even after the precipitating conditions resolve and the tissue histologically appears normal. This exemplifies a b...

Natural, Artificial, and Human Intelligences

Human achievement, whether in culture, science, or technology, is unparalleled in the known existence. This achievement is tied to the enormous communities of knowledge, made possible by language. We trace how the principle ‘᾿Eν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος’ (in the beginning was the word) wa...

Intravascular Lithotripsy in Left Main Stem Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

ABSTRACT Background IVL is increasingly used for coronary calcium modification; however, prospective data for its use in LMS lesions are lacking. Aims To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and mechanical efficacy of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) for calcium modification in calci...

Theorizing Cross‐Boundary Strategizing as Situated in Multilayered Supply Chains: A Strategy‐as‐Practice Approach to Supply Chain Management

ABSTRACT Supply chain strategy is increasingly recognized as a multilayered phenomenon, with firms strategizing not only within their own boundaries but across supply chain tiers, jurisdictions, and wider regulatory and ecological systems. Yet most existing supply chain managemen...

Assessment of Personal Narrative Skills in Children Aged 4–18 Years: A Systematic Review

PURPOSE: Assessment of children's personal narratives offers important insights into their functional language abilities. This systematic review identifies current assessment and analysis practices for evaluating the personal event narratives of school-age children and provides a...

CodeNote.ai: A GitHub-Integrated Note-Taking and Automated Documentation System for Developers

Maintaining clear, up-to-date documentation is one of the most persistent challenges in software development, particularly in fast-moving, open-source codebases touched by many contributors over time. Developers frequently lose the context behind their own past changes and strugg...

Photoplethysmographic Signal Analysis for Vascular Ageing Assessment

OBJECTIVE: Vascular ageing (VA) is an age-related process characterised by vessel stiffening and altered endothelial function. Recognised as a major predictor of cardiovascular events, VA remains under-assessed in clinical practice due to limitations of current measurement system...

Experiences of postnatal care and support among Black women and birthing people in the UK: Systematic review and thematic synthesis

The postnatal period is a time for recovery and social transition, yet it is often called the 'Cinderella service' of maternity care, due to its relative neglect in research and policy. Literature often conflates postnatal experiences with antenatal and intrapartum periods, riski...

Rethinking the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale: contemporary relevance, validity and implications for future research

The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale has shaped the identification of perinatal depression for four decades, but evolving understandings of distress, comorbidity and measurement standards challenge its continued adequacy. We argue for rigorous, co-produced revision to enhance...

New insights into the $$b\rightarrow c \bar{u}q$$ puzzle through Top–Bottom synergies

Abstract Anomalies in the non-leptonic $$\bar{B}^0\rightarrow D^{(*)+}K^{(*)-}$$ B ¯ 0 → D ( ∗ ) + K ( ∗ ) - and $$\bar{B}^0_s\rightarrow D^{(*)+}_s\pi ^-$$ B ¯ s 0 → D s ( ∗ ) + π - decays may be an indication of physics beyond the Standard Model, but the large deviations requir...

Integrating road safety and environmental impact via telematics: Modeling traffic accident risk using vehicle emissions

Abstract High‐emission private vehicles disproportionately contribute to urban air pollution and road accidents, both major public health threats and leading causes of death among young adults. Balancing individual driving behavior with collective environmental responsibility nec...

‘It’s a bit like a legend where you have to tell it again and again’: disclosure practices in single father families via surrogacy

Aims/Background Research has shown that children born through surrogacy to heterosexual and gay couples are often told about this at an early age. However, to our knowledge no studies have explored how single fathers approach telling and talking about their route to parenthood wi...

More Than Meets the Eye: A Qualitative Exploration of the Experience of Remission in Chronic Skin Disease

This study explores the lived experience of remission in chronic skin disease (CSD), a clinically significant but underexamined phase of the chronic relapse–remission cycle. Although the psychological burden of active CSD is well established, far less is known about how individua...
