Beyond Pain Intensity: Central Sensitization and Psychosocial Symptom Burden in Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Background and Objectives: Persistent pain in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may reflect mechanisms not fully captured by systemic inflammatory markers. This study estimated the frequency of elevated Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) scores in women with RA and examined associatio...

Application of Remote Sensing and Machine Learning in Sustainable Agriculture

Global agriculture is undergoing a period of profound transformation, driven by the need to increase food production in a context characterized by climate change, the degradation of natural resources and increasing pressure on agricultural ecosystems [...]

Estimation of Grain Yield and Quality in Awned and Awnless Wheat Genotypes Using UAV and Proximal Multispectral Sensors

This study aimed to evaluate the complementary potential of UAV-based and proximal multispectral sensing using the Plant-O-Meter (POM) sensor for the assessment of wheat grain yield and quality across different phenological stages and two growing seasons. The analysis was based o...

Machine Learning for Effluent Forecasting at a Full-Scale Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant: Seasonal Performance Deterioration and the Decisive Role of Prediction Horizon

Machine learning is widely proposed as a basis for smart wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) management, yet reported performance is rarely benchmarked against trivial alternatives. This study uses six years of monitoring from a municipal WWTP in Serbia serving 18,000 population eq...

Pogostone as a bioactive natural compound with potential relevance for functional foods, nutraceuticals, and food preservation: a review

Pogostone, a characteristic secondary metabolite of Pogostemon cablin , has recently gained attention due to its diverse biological activities and potential relevance as a bioactive compound for functional food development. This review summarizes current knowledge on the origin,...

Identification of a nanosecond isomer of $$^{164}$$Tb

Abstract This letter reports on the identification of a new isomeric state of $$^{164}$$ 164 Tb ( $$Z=65$$ Z = 65 , $$N=99$$ N = 99 ), which was measured with the DESPEC setup at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH following the first relativistic fragmentation...

Persona-prompted LLM agents achieve modest but genuine prediction of human social media reactions

Abstract Social media platforms mediate how billions form opinions and engage with public discourse. As autonomous AI agents increasingly participate in these spaces, understanding their behavioral fidelity becomes critical for platform governance and democratic resilience. Previ...

Quality Attributes of Four Table Grape Varieties at Harvest and During Storage and Shelf Life

After harvest, table grape berries undergo physical and chemical changes even with optimal storage conditions, and postharvest fruit quality retention varies among varieties. This study evaluated four varieties over a two-year period: Lasta, Lyana, recently released seedless vari...

How Non-Performing Loans Reshape Bank Liquidity Determinants: Evidence from the European Union

(1) Background: The aim of this paper is to identify a critical non-performing loans threshold and to examine whether the impact of macroeconomic and bank-specific determinants on bank liquidity differs across credit-risk regimes. (2) Methods: Using annual panel data for EU count...

Borel regularization and Mellin transform of factorial and left factorial series

Using Borel summation, we assign finite analytic values to the divergent ordinary generating functions of the factorial sequence n! and the left factorial !n. We consider the Mellin transform of the obtained regularized generating functions and derive a bilateral integral represe...

“Enthusiasts, Not Professionals”: Journalists’ Experiences of Precarity in Serbia’s Hybrid Regime

Precarity has become a defining feature of the contemporary journalistic labor market worldwide. Drawing on 20 in-depth interviews with journalists in Serbia, we explore the tension between precarity and professional journalistic aspirations. Although participants understood prec...

Environmental drivers of litter- and soil-dwelling springtail communities across European forests, assessed by morphotaxonomy and soil DNA metabarcoding

Springtails are abundant in forest litter and soils, where they play a crucial role in the transformation and decomposition of organic matter. However, most data on springtail communities originates from studies at the local and regional levels, while larger-scale studies are lac...

Formulation and in vitro – in silico characterization of prolonged-release prednisolone acetate spheroids

Aims The aims of this study were to develop alginate-based spheroid formulations for the prolonged release of prednisolone acetate, their in vitro and in silico characterization, and identification of formulation key factors influencing drug release behavior.Methods Prednisolone...

Voice-Controlled Intralogistics on an Open Cyber–Physical Middleware: Deep Learning-Based Speech Processing and Validation in an Industrial Noisy Environment

The rapid development of Industry 4.0 brings significant benefits to intralogistics through increased flexibility, interoperability, and real-time responsiveness. However, the growing complexity of industrial environments creates challenges for logistics process adaptation and th...

How Norms Depend on the Presence and Status of Observers: The Relational Contingency of Everyday Behaviors in 90 Societies

Norms are fundamental to social life, but basic questions about how they are affected by social context remain. Specifically, how do normative constraints depend on the presence and status of observers, and how do such relational contingencies vary across cultures? Using data fro...
