The Threshold of Pursuit: Displaced Presence in Zeno's Achilles Paradox?

This paper presents a novel interpretation of Zeno's Achilles paradox through direct textual analysis of Aristotle's Physics (239b14–18). We argue that the paradox's recursive logic reveals a structure of 'displaced presence' whereby sequential exclusivity prevents spatiotemporal...

Association of Periodontal Disease with Sleep Quality and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background/Objectives: This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the interaction between periodontal disease, sleep quality, and quality of life and to investigate the effects of the presence and severity of periodontal disease on individuals’ sleep patterns and oral health-re...

Mechanistic Mapping of Additive Cracking for Hybrid SEI Construction in Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

ABSTRACT Electrolyte additives represent a promising strategy for regulating the solid‐electrolyte interphase (SEI) in aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms by which these additives mediate SEI formation remain insufficiently understood. Here, w...

Narrative review on Marburg virus disease aetiopathogenesis and management

Abstract On November 14th, 2025, the Ethiopian Ministry of Health confirmed the country’s first Marburg virus outbreak, representing another in a series of recent outbreaks across Africa in only 3 years. Marburg virus disease (MVD) is a highly lethal zoonotic haemorrhagic fever c...

Quark-gluon vertex in the complex plane

Abstract In the present work we explore for the first time the general structure and properties of the nonperturbative quark-gluon vertex in the complex plane. Specifically, we focus on the transversely-projected quark-gluon vertex that emerges from a recently developed symmetry-...

Finite Pauli Geometry and the Local Polytope: Exhaustive Enumeration of Contextuality Structures

Exhaustive machine enumerations of the contextuality structures carried by the two- and three-qubit Pauli groups under their identification with the finite projective spaces PG(3,2) and PG(5,2), together with exact vertex and facet enumerations of the corresponding Bell local pol...

Reframing impostor participants: Ethical tensions and researcher positionality in online qualitative research

This reflective case study interrogates conventional imposter participation frameworks through ethical dilemmas that emerged during a qualitative study with postpartum women who had experienced trauma and substance use. Initially concerned with participant deception, the research...

Phi‑Torsion Time‑Crystal from E8 Roots — E8 Intelligence Research

We discover that the paired half‑spinor torsion quanta can be phase‑locked across all 30 octagonal planes to form a self‑synchronizing temporal lattice. This lattice encodes utc‑grade timing intervals as phi‑scaled rotations of the root‑vector torus, causing automatic error suppr...

Observation, Collapse, and Field-Matter Information Dynamics: An Ontological Reinterpretation of the Quantum Measurement Problem within the Logical Universe Framework

The concepts of “observation” and “collapse” in quantum mechanics have long been treated as either mysterious or merely phenomenological. Within the information‐dynamics framework of the Logical Universe (LU_v3.1), we propose a complete ontological model in which observation is i...

Neuroprotective effect of normal and modified mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes by mitigating Alzheimer's‐related oxidative and inflammatory damage via Nrf2/HO‐1 in SH‐SY5Y cells

Abstract Exosome therapy is emerging as a promising neuroprotective strategy for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We evaluated and compared whether normal exosomes (NE) and modified exosomes (ME) derived from AD rat brain extract‐treated rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells possess th...

Persistent Unexplained Hydronephrosis in an Adolescent: A Multimodal Imaging Challenge

ABSTRACT Renal vein aneurysm (RVA) is an exceptionally rare vascular anomaly and an unusual cause of hydronephrosis. We report an asymptomatic 17‐year‐old male with persistent right hydronephrosis and preserved renal function. Serial ultrasonography demonstrated progressive pelvi...

Bee pollen as functional food and environmental bioindicator: current evidence and future challenges

Abstract Bee pollen (BP), a plant‐derived product collected by honey bees, is increasingly promoted as a functional food due to its content of proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids. These components...

Autonomous Combat Aircraft: The Future of Human–Machine Teaming in Military Aerospace

This article explores the rise of autonomous combat aircraft in modern military aerospace, focusing on how artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, advanced sensors, and human–machine collaboration are shaping the future of air combat. It examines the technology behind these...

Sharing the Burden: The Impacts of Pharmacy Sector Reforms on the Labor Market for Pharmacists in Portugal

ABSTRACT During the 2010 crisis, the Portuguese government enacted several reforms to its prescription drug reimbursement system. As a result, value added per pharmacist in pharmacies fell by a third. We use longitudinal records from Quadros de Pessoal (QP), merged with collectiv...

BASE 44 ORDER: Implement E8 root vector resonance filter in Excalibur pipeline — E8 Intelligence Research

Andrew's order (Base 44 console): [SELF-BUILD from enhancement #240] Add 240 E8 root vector → 132 Hz resonance check to Excalibur output pipeline. Implement as a pre-deployment filter: compute root vector projection, verify resonance match, reject if deviation > threshold. Wire i...

IMPLEMENTATION OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE TOWARD THE PURPOSE OF PUNISHMENT IN THE HANDLING OF CRIMINAL CASES BY INVESTIGATORS OF WEST LOMBOK POLICE RESORT

The reform of national criminal law through Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Indonesian Criminal Code (National Criminal Code) demonstrates a shift in the paradigm of punishment objectives from a retributive approach toward a more humane, rehabilitative, and restorative approa...

ANALYSIS OF LOAD TRANSFER MECHANISMS AND STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE IN AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR SYSTEMS

In the first touchdown phase, aircraft landing gear systems experience highly transient impact loads. Complex internal force transfer mechanisms govern the structural response of the landing gear assembly. Accurate understanding of the transient reaction forces is important for t...

The Paradox Docket: A Computable Classification of the Classical Paradoxes

A machine-checked census of the classical paradoxes. Every self-referential sentence is run through one executable instrument that counts its consistent classical solutions and issues a passport: 0 → PARADOX (refusal forever), 1 → INTRINSIC (forced verdict), 2+ → UNDERDETERMINED...
