Steppe-Derived Glyphosate-Tolerant Pseudomonas sp. ADL-13 and Paenibacillus sp. ZHS-9 Strains with Plant Growth-Promoting Traits and Broad Abiotic Stress Tolerance

The integration of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) into sustainable agricultural practices represents a promising strategy for improving crop productivity and stress resilience. We characterized two newly isolated steppe-derived, glyphosate-tolerant bacteria, Pseudomonas s...

Spin-Inversion Degeneracies in Restricted Inspiral Waveforms for LISA

Spin inversions appear in several settings. Analytical work predicts a single spin flip during unequal-mass supermassive binary inspiral, while numerical relativity and post-Newtonian calculations show repeated flip-flop motion in comparable-mass binaries. Secular spin evolution...

Constraining Dust Formation in the Superluminous Supernova 2017gci with JWST Observations

Abstract We present JWST/MIRI observations of the Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN) 2017gci obtained over 2000 rest-frame days after the supernova (SN) exploded, which represent the latest phase images taken of any known SLSN to date. We find that archival Wide-field Infrared...

Exploiting Neosartorya ( Aspergillus ) fischeri antifungal protein 2-defined fungal targets for drug repurposing against Candida albicans

ABSTRACT Invasive fungal infections caused by Candida albicans remain major clinical challenges because of the limited therapeutic options, toxicity, and emerging resistance. Drug repurposing offers a promising strategy to accelerate antifungal discovery by leveraging existing co...

Determinants of foreign exchange reserve and exchange market pressure in Ethiopia

Purpose During the period from 1995 to 2024, Ethiopia experienced a declining trend in foreign exchange reserve adequacy and increase in exchange market pressure. Foreign reserve remained below three months of import coverage on average and the county’s currency gradually lost it...

Early-onset neonatal sepsis and neonatal antibiotic exposure in Hungary a nationwide population-based study

Abstract Neonatal sepsis remains a challenge in perinatal medicine. We aimed to estimate incidence of culture positive early-onset sepsis (CP-EOS), causative pathogens and overall antibiotic exposure in newborn infants in Hungary. Retrospective national registry analysis (2020–20...

JWST Nebular Spectroscopy of SN 2023qov: Circumstellar Dust Emission in a Normal Type Ia Supernova

Abstract We present panchromatic observations of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2023qov, ranging from ∼2 weeks before to ∼1 yr after maximum light. JWST near- and mid-infrared spectra at +276 and +363 days show ∼400 K dust emission that cools by ∼75 K between epochs, the first una...

Spatial Proteomics as a Potential Decision‐Support Layer for Early Melanoma: A Narrative Review

Distinguishing early melanoma from borderline, atypical, or biologically intermediate melanocytic lesions remains one of the most consequential and urgent diagnostic challenges in dermato-oncology, since melanoma causes nearly 95% of skin cancer deaths. This narrative review esta...

Characterization of Uromyces muscari and first confirmed report on Muscari armeniacum in Hungary

Abstract Muscari species are widely cultivated, popular ornamental plants in Europe, but are susceptible to rust fungi, which can substantially reduce their aesthetic value and overall fitness. In May 2023, characteristic rust fungus-like symptoms were observed on M. armeniacum p...

Far beyond the obvious: complexity and narrative perspectives in Hayao Miyazaki’s anime films

Abstract This study explores how ecological and cultural complexity is addressed through the narrative structures of Hayao Miyazaki’s animated films. The paper examines how Miyazaki’s storytelling offers an alternative to the binary, reductionist frameworks that dominate Western...

A multidimensional review of artificial intelligence in science education examining trends, curriculum integration, and ethical implications

Abstract Background Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into science education, yet the literature remains fragmented, lacking a unified framework that connects publication trends, curriculum implementation, and ethical considerations. Methods: A mixed-method...

Rényi means, Hölder inequality and trace characterizations

Abstract We prove that Hölder-type trace inequalities formulated for Rényi means and, as the limiting case, for the Log-Euclidean mean of positive definite matrices actually characterize the canonical trace functional among all positive linear functionals. Similar results involvi...

Softening Locally Polyhedral Tilings

Abstract We call a cell $$C \subset \mathbb {R}^d$$ C ⊂ R d soft if every point of its boundary lies on a smooth curve contained in $$\partial C$$ ∂ C . A tiling of the space is called completely soft if all of its cells are soft. In their 2024 article, Domokos, Goriely, G. Horvá...

Microglia and border-associated macrophages play opposite roles in cerebrovascular and leukocyte responses under systemic inflammation in male mice

Microglia closely associate with the vasculature, but their roles in leukocyte trafficking and cerebral blood flow (CBF) during systemic inflammation are unclear. We show that sustained systemic inflammation leads to altered microglia-vascular interactions, leukocyte recruitment...

Artificial intelligence in improving reading comprehension of K-12 students: A systematic literature review

The educational use of artificial intelligence (AI) has expanded rapidly in recent years, offering new possibilities for individualized instruction and learner support. Despite its growing relevance, AI’s effectiveness in the development of reading comprehension among K-12 studen...

Dialysis-requiring acute urate nephropathy and mobilization gout flare in a patient with alcoholic ketoacidosis: a case report

Abstract Background Acute urate nephropathy (AUN) is a rare but potentially reversible cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), typically associated with tumor lysis syndrome. We present a non-malignancy-related case induced by excessive alcohol abuse, highlighting post-dialysis diagn...

Lymphedema Is Associated with Mitral Annular Abnormalities—A Three-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiographic Analysis from the MAGYAR-Path Study

Introduction: Lymphedema is a chronic, progressive disorder characterized by the excessive accumulation of lymphatic fluid within the interstitial compartment resulting from impaired lymphatic transport. Consequently, the primary aim of the present study was to evaluate three-dim...

Longitudinal health-related quality of life after electrochemotherapy in elderly patients with cutaneous melanoma

The incidence of cutaneous melanoma (CM) is increasing among elderly patients, who often present with advanced disease, including cutaneous metastases. Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a local ablative treatment that enhances chemotherapy uptake via electric pulses. Management in pat...

CO2 Electrolysis Paired with Glycerol Oxidation on Transition-Metal Single-Atom Catalysts

Abstract Pairing the carbon dioxide reduction process with the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol (GOR), instead of the typically applied oxygen evolution reaction, can substantially decrease the cell voltage while forming high-value products at both electrodes. In this contr...

On Hyperinvariant Subspaces of Operators Containing Unilateral Shifts

Abstract The hyperinvariant subspace problem for Hilbert space operators T containing a unilateral shift is addressed. The discussion is based on a similarity model of T , which is an operator-matrix $$\widehat{T}= [T_{i,j}]_3$$ T ^ = [ T i , j ] 3 where $$T_{1,1}$$ T 1 , 1 is th...
