Advancing immunogenic peptide identification using explainable machine learning framework for rational vaccine design

Abstract The identification of immunogenic peptides is essential for the development of effective vaccines and immunotherapies. However, accurately identifying these peptides remains a significant challenge, as it involves a complex interplay of multiple biological factors. In th...

Distinguishing Contemporaneous Rule Recovery from Financial Risk Forecasting in Higher Education Institutions: A Controlled Synthetic-Panel Experiment

High classification performance in financial-risk early-warning research may reflect recovery of a constructed contemporaneous rating rule rather than prediction of an independent future outcome. This study distinguishes these two forms of evidence through a controlled synthetic-...

Dismantling structural inequities in global prevention of childhood and adolescent non-communicable diseases

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for a growing proportion of morbidity and disability among children and adolescents worldwide. Contemporary NCD preventive strategies are predominantly adult-centric, resulting in delayed prevention and widening inequities, particularly in...

A two-stage deep learning framework for oil palm fresh fruit bunch ripeness classification toward predictive harvesting in precision agriculture

Efficient harvest timing and accurate maturity assessment of oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) are critical for optimizing oil extraction rates, plantation yield, and operational efficiency. Conventional manual inspection is subjective, labour-intensive, and unsuitable for larg...

Exploring how AI-integrated entrepreneurship education influences technopreneurship behavior through an integrated TAM–UTAUT-informed framework

This study aims to examine the role of AI-integrated Entrepreneurship Education (DEd) with ChatGPT as a main instrument to influence behavioral intention (BI) and technopreneurship behavior (TB). The research involved the main variables from TAM, including perceived usefulness (P...

Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr. and Its Active Compound Attenuate Oleic Acid-Induced Hepatocyte Steatosis and Modulate Cholesterol Metabolism-Related Gene Expression

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is characterised by excessive lipid accumulation in hepatocytes and often accompanied by dyslipidaemia. Gynura procumbens, a medicinal plant native to Southeast Asia, exhibits lipid-lowering and hepatoprotective pro...

Environmental awareness among paddy farmers of ecologically friendly and sustainable agriculture practices

Purpose Sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) are gaining increasing attention in Malaysia's rice farming sector due to their importance in environmental conservation. Enhancing farmers' environmental awareness is considered essential for promoting SAP adoption. This study ex...

Evaluation of Photovoltaic Module Enhancer Performance: Examining a New Factor for Cost and Energy Effectiveness

Photovoltaic (PV) enhancement technologies, including cooling systems, reflectors, and tracking mechanisms, are widely employed to improve the electrical performance of PV systems. However, the effectiveness of these technologies should be evaluated not only in terms of performan...

Two decades of cultural ecosystem services research (2005–2024): A global bibliometric and thematic mapping

Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) refer to the intangible, non-material benefits that ecosystems provide to human life. In recent years, CES research has garnered increasing scholarly attention due to its vital role in enhancing human well-being, cultural identity, and social coh...
