Subvarieties of low degree on general hypersurfaces

Abstract The purpose of this note is to show that the subvarieties of small degree inside a general hypersurface of large degree come from intersecting with linear spaces or other varieties. This partially generalizes a theorem of Wu.

Gaps in diabetes care among people living with HIV and hypertension in Botswana: A cross‐sectional analysis of the InterCARE study

Abstract Objectives Data on diabetes screening and monitoring, within HIV care programmes in sub‐Saharan Africa, remain limited. This study describes the quality of diabetes screening and management among people living with HIV with comorbid hypertension receiving care at facilit...

Comparative review of multi-energy systems modeling tools for scenario analysis toward climate neutrality: Case studies, achievements, and challenges

Climate-neutrality planning requires modeling tools that connect long-term investment, multi-sector demand and emissions, power-system operation, and grid-security assessment. This structured review examines six widely used platforms such as PyPSA, Julia/JuMP, GAMS, TIMES, DIgSIL...

Human-like content analysis for generative AI with language-grounded sparse encoders

The rapid development of generative AI has transformed content creation, communication, and human development. However, this technology raises profound concerns in high-stakes domains, demanding rigorous methods to analyze and evaluate AI-generated content. While existing analyti...

Lung Function–Associated Genetic Variants and Overall Survival in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Multi-Platform Analysis

Abstract Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous variants associated with spirometric lung function, and Mendelian randomization studies suggest that impaired pulmonary function contributes to lung cancer susceptibility. Whether these variants...

Melanoma Prognostication Using AI ‐Guided Histopathology

Accurate diagnosis and risk stratification are central for optimal management of patients with melanoma. Current American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging systems inadequately stratify patients with clinically meaningful metastatic potential. Manual histopathologic interp...

Class and Incarceration

Class inequality in incarceration in the United States is vast, widening, and understudied. Despite multiple comprehensive reviews of the literature on incarceration and inequality, no reviews have been dedicated specifically to class and incarceration. We review the empirical ev...

The politics of neutrality in climate adjudication: Scientific consensus, judicial legitimacy and equity in rights‐based European climate litigation

Abstract This article examines two European rights‐based climate litigation cases— Klimaatzaak v Belgium and Milieudefensie v Shell —where courts were asked to set quantified climate mitigation targets. Such determinations inherently involve distributive questions, as they requir...

Hysteresis and Trap Emission in dc-Biased Integrated Lithium Niobate Electro-optic Modulators

Abstract The electro-optic (EO) effect is crucially important for low power and efficient tuning of integrated photonic circuits. However, in EO materials such as lithium niobate, dc biasing for an extended duration of time results in the emergence of numerous nonidealities, incl...

Which society? Whose power? What nationalism? A response to and questioning of Siniša Malešević and Dominic Hewson

The late Foucault's relative lack of attention to such ‘imagined' categories as nationalism/ideology and modernity, as diagnosed by Malešević and Hewson respectively, and his subsequent veering off toward ancient ‘techniques and cultures of the self’, ought to be linked to his pr...

THE PERINATAL PROGRAMMING OF METABOLISM IN PSYCHOSIS ADVANCING PSYCHIATRIC GENOMICS THROUGH LARGE-SCALE AFRICAN COHORTS

Overall Abstract Psychiatric genetics has made remarkable progress globally, yet African populations, harboring the greatest human genetic diversity, remain underrepresented in genomic discovery. This symposium brings together four landmark initiatives that exemplify the scale, d...

Peace Under the Influence? The Role of Illicit Drug Economies in Peace Processes and Rebel Splintering

How do the economic foundations of rebel groups shape civil war dynamics? While prior research has explored how different resource types affect conflict, less is known about how the illicit nature of certain resources—particularly drug economies—affects peace processes. We argue...

Between Bandung, Suez, and Nehru's Feet: Singapore and Global South Solidarities in the Commonwealth

As part of his voyage to London in December 1955, David Marshall, chief minister of the British colony of Singapore, toured the newly independent Commonwealth countries of Ceylon, India, and Pakistan. This article follows his movement across South Asia, foregrounding the dynamics...

Towards a European demos? On the growth of European identity and attachment

Shared identity and attachment are widely considered important societal foundations of a political demos, legitimising and facilitating collective action. Yet scholars have long argued that Europe lacks such affective foundations. This article reassesses that claim using Eurobaro...

Terrestrial paleoenvironments and paleoclimate during the Miocene climate optimum at Buluk, East Turkana, Kenya

Understanding the environmental and climatic context of Neogene fossil localities in eastern Africa is critical for determining potential drivers of evolution in our hominoid ancestors and their floral and faunal communities. In this study, we reconstructed paleoenvironments and...

Hedonic and eudaimonic pathways of self-forgiveness and suicide-related cognitions in trinidad and tobago: a quantile regression approach

Abstract Self-forgiveness is a multidimensional construct involving both hedonic processes, primarily related to fostering self-compassion and alleviating self-condemnation, and eudaimonic processes, focused on moral repair and value reorientation. While previous research has lin...

Possible pelagic lifestyle of the Silurian trilobite Deiphon evaluated through three-dimensional modeling

Abstract Many euarthropods have evolved pelagic lifestyles, but evaluating this in extinct taxa relies on documenting a broad distribution in diverse lithologies, occurrence across multiple paleobiogeographic regions, functional morphology, and morphological comparisons to modern...

Measuring the Carbon Footprint for Health Systems and Suppliers: A Collaborative Field Study by Providence and Becton Dickinson

The carbon emissions from assets owned by health systems are a small fraction of their total carbon footprint. The emissions produced by their suppliers of products and services - such as electricity and transportation - are typically more than 10 times a hospital's direct emissi...

Computational Design and Experimental Validation of Photoactive PARP1 Inhibitors

Abstract Light-activated drugs are a promising way to treat localized diseases for which existing treatments have severe side effects. However, their development is complicated by the set of photophysical and biological properties that must be simultaneously optimized. Here we us...

Molecular Evaluation of Deep Eutectic Solvents for Wet Algae Lipid Extraction and Biofuel Production

Abstract Microalgae represent promising feedstocks for biofuel production, yet cell-wall disruption remains a critical bottleneck for scaling up lipid extraction. This study evaluates four cholinium-based ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as green, energy-effi...
