Where is the evidence? A global systematic review of sanitation system resilience to climate hazards
Despite sustained efforts over several decades, no region is projected to achieve universal sanitation access by 2030, according to international monitoring frameworks. Climate change is increasingly disrupting human and ecological systems, in turn deepening existing inequalities...

Health anxiety (HA) is characterised by an excessive fear or preoccupation with illness, often accompanied by a persistent belief in having a serious condition, despite medical reassurance. Among those affected, HA can significantly impact mental and physical wellbeing. While HA...

Dynamic impact performance of axially and eccentrically loaded reinforced concrete columns
The impact resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) columns is strongly affected by axial loading conditions, yet the combined influence of axial-load eccentricity and lateral impact remains insufficiently understood. This study numerically investigates the dynamic response and fai...

Background/Objectives: Surgical site infection (SSI) remains a major complication after colorectal surgery. Comparative evidence for commonly used perioperative intravenous antibiotic regimens is limited, and risk prediction models require external evaluation before clinical use....

Eval4DiRec: A Unified and Systematic Evaluation Framework for Diffusion-based Recommender Systems
Leveraging the strong generative capabilities and stable training dynamics of diffusion models, diffusion-based recommender systems (RSs) have recently emerged as a novel recommendation paradigm, attracting increasing attention from both academia and industry. However, despite th...

Abstract We introduce Quantum Spectral Authentication (QSA), a symmetric-key entity-authentication and key-derivation protocol in which a remote endpoint proves it still holds a hidden planted state, an eigenstate of the challenge it can prepare, without revealing it. Each round...

A longitudinal and thematic analysis of entrepreneurial university research (1969–2024)
Abstract This study presents the evolution of the ‘Entrepreneurial University’ concept with the literature dating back to sub-concepts published on in 1969, pre-dating the Bayh-Dole Act in 1980 or Etzkowitz’ (1983) coining of the term. Studying this evolutionary path offers sugge...

The Evolutionary Frameworks Project - 7 Additional Framework Models
The Evolutionary Frameworks Project – 7 Additional Framework Models documents the second major expansion of the Evolutionary Frameworks Project, an interdisciplinary scientific research programme developed by Kaya Genc, Silas Njiru John, and Dr James Barkell. Following publicatio...

Stability Assessment of Landslides under Coupling Action of Rainfall and Earthquake
Abstract Separated analyses are widely used to evaluate the stability of slopes after rainfall and earthquakes. However, the combined impact of rainfall infiltration and earthquake shaking on slope stability remains insufficiently studied. Therefore, a unique closed-form analytic...

Abstract Phosphorus management has become a major challenge in wastewater treatment because phosphorus is both a key driver of eutrophication and a finite nutrient resource that should be recovered and reused. This review examines recent advances in phosphorus removal and recover...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) and carotid web (CW) are distinct cerebrovascular disorders where vascular geometry, disturbed hemodynamics, and endothelial activation interact to drive thrombosis. Both conditions disproportionately affect women, yet remain understudied b...

Energy and spatial spillovers: How renewable and non-renewable energy impact the environment?
Atmospheric emissions in one location can significantly affect adjacent regions, creating spatial dependencies. If ignored, it may biased empirical estimates of environmental degradation. This study employs spatial econometric techniques to measure the indirect (spillover) effect...

ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are among the most recalcitrant environmental contaminants due to their chemical stability, hydrophobicity, toxicity, and capacity for long‐range transport, yet mechanistic understanding remains fragmented across molecular, cellular,...

Abstract Oncolytic viruses (OVs) combine tumour-selective infection and replication with direct tumour-cell destruction and the capacity to induce antitumour immune responses. This review critically synthesises the cellular mechanisms, engineering strategies, preclinical developm...

A validated deep learning workflow for 3D quantification of amyloid plaques in cleared mouse brain
Abstract Accurate quantification of amyloid plaque pathology is essential for understanding Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression and evaluating therapeutic interventions. Yet, conventional histology relies on sampling thin tissue sections and therefore incompletely captures three...

Photo Day: Queer Family and the Practice of Photographing Together
This article examines Photo Day, a participatory portrait project staged between 2023 and 2025 at the Hunt-Simes Institute in Sexuality Studies (HISS). Developed within the program ‘Reimagining the Queer Classroom’, Photo Day reworked the conventions of school photography by chan...
