Explainable AI for phishing URL detection: a Bayesian-optimized stacking ensemble framework with SHAP-guided feature learning

Introduction Phishing remains one of the most persistent and financially damaging threats facing modern organizations, with over 4.7 million incidents recorded in 2023 alone. Existing AI-based phishing detection frameworks are constrained by limited benchmarking scope, absent mod...

Extending Erikson’s generativity to leadership: a psychobiographical study

Purpose Erikson’s concept of generativity has shaped developmental psychology for over seven decades, yet its application within management and leadership scholarship remains narrow, Western-centric and largely interpersonal in focus. This paper aims to trace that theoretical gap...

Sparse attention FT-transformer for early breast cancer prediction using structured clinical data

Early detection of breast cancer is essential for improving clinical outcomes and reducing mortality. This study proposes a Sparse Attention–based FT-Transformer framework for early prediction using structured clinical diagnostic data, designed to capture high-order feature inter...

External transportability of bacterial- and viral-associated host-response modules across public transcriptomic cohorts

Objectives To determine whether bacterial- and viral-associated whole-blood host-response modules discovered in GSE211567 retain their prespecified directions when applied unchanged to two external cohorts, including a second cross-platform cohort, and to quantify their robustnes...

Restrictome-EVOLVE: population-resolved haplotype architecture of human antiviral restriction-factor loci

Human antiviral restriction factors act across multiple stages of viral replication, but whether their population-resolved haplotype architecture differs systematically from comparable genomic regions is unclear. We tested this using phased public human genomic data from 660 indi...

Colorectal Cancer and the Enigma Surrounding Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling

Since the discovery of truncated mutations of adenomatous polyposis coli proteins in familial adenoma patients in 1991, the mechanism of cytosolic β-catenin regulation has been intensively studied, and now it is very well known that the central role of the canonical Wnt/β-catenin...
