Frenemies for Good: The Paradox of Collaboration and Competition Among Nonprofit Organizations

Abstract Nonprofit organizations are expected to collaborate with peers to advance social good while simultaneously competing for scarce resources such as funding, volunteers, and legitimacy. This paradox of “coopetition” has been explored structurally, but less is known about ho...

Determinants of AI translation technology adoption among Arab professional translators across national contexts

Abstract This cross-national study examines the determinants of AI translation technology adoption among professional translators in Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. Employing an integrated TAM/UTAUT framework extended with profession-specific constructs (e.g., perceived risk/tr...

Distribution, major threats, and management methods of maple tree species in temperate forests: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Despite its contribution to multiple ecosystem goods and services, maple tree species distribution, survival, and growth are declining due to multiple interconnected threats. Therefore, inclusive understanding of distributions, threats, and silvicultural management is essential f...

Potential EnergySurfaces of Environment-SensitiveFlapping Fluorophores: FLAP

Abstract A series of FLAP molecules are one of the functional fluorescent probes that can sense subtle changes in local environments such as viscosity, polymer free volume, and external mechanical force. In this work, potential energy surfaces (PESs) of a representative Flexible...

How Equity and Quality Are Considered by Cancer Centers Offering Practice-Integrated Telehealth Visits: A Qualitative Study

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic forever changed health care delivery and led to a rapid uptake in telehealth visits. However, the quality and equity of these visits compared to in-person visits are unknown. This analysis interviewed oncology practitioners to understand how US...

Designing for the Mind: How Cognitive Science Explains What Makes Educational Technology Effective

Educational technology is designed and marketed primarily around measures of engagement, while the cognitive science of how people actually learn is comparatively underused in product design. This article reviews six well-established findings from cognitive and educational psycho...

RECLAIMING THE ANCESTORS: INDIGENOUS SPIRITUAL REVIVAL IN URBAN AFRICA

Rapid urbanization, religious pluralism, and cultural globalization have reshaped Africa’s spiritual landscape, often marginalizing Indigenous religious traditions and generating crises of identity, belonging, and cultural continuity in urban spaces. Yet African cities are increa...

Spatio-temporal Modelling of H5N1 Avian Influenza Outbreaks in Europe (2021-2024)

Abstract. Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), particularly the H5N1 strain, poses a significant ongoing threat to animal health, biodiversity and food security across Europe. Understanding where and when avian influenza risks intensify is essential for targeted surveillance...

The Declaration Dossier — Companion Artifacts

Abstract This record contains the companion artifacts for The Declaration Dossier v8. It provides the machine-readable declaration template, formal schemas governing release and validation packages, a validator-output template, documentation describing the declaration workflow, a...

The Semantic Obligations of Strong Universal Claims: An Evoluist Theorem of Audit-Domain Completeness

This consolidated technical publication is the fourth study in the formal Evoluist research programme. It continues the status-diagonal analysis developed in The Evoluist Theorem: Formal Core, the investigation of distributed and indexed coordination developed in Indexed Evaluati...

The Gittins Index for a Transparent One-Armed Bandit with a Continuous Payoff Spectrum in Equilibrium States

We present an analogue of the classical Gittins index for a one-armed decision problem with a continuous spectrum of payoffs. The model assumes that the decision-maker observes independent realizations of a random variable and, at each step, decides whether to accept the current...

Drug-based ionic derivatives of NSAIDs: influence of cation structure on physicochemical properties, skin permeation, and biocompatibility

Abstract Drug-based ionic systems represent a promising strategy to improve the physicochemical properties and delivery performance of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients. In this study, ionic derivatives of four nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)—ibuprofe...

Frailty and Surgical Invasiveness Are Independently Associated with Complications in Pediatric Spinal Deformity Surgery

Background: The purposes of this study were to determine whether frailty and surgical invasiveness are independently associated with perioperative outcomes and to describe the outcome rates when these 2 risk domains are considered together in pediatric patients undergoing spinal...

Technoeconomic Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment of Soft Drink Industry Wastewater Using a Microwave Photocatalysis System

Abstract Microwave-assisted photocatalysis (MWPC) for treating soft drink industry wastewater is evaluated in this study against microwave oxidation (MWO), photocatalysis (PC), and oxidation. MWPC achieved the highest total organic carbon (TOC) removal (87.09%), outperforming MWO...

Energy and Metabolism: The Economy of Topological Organization—Volume III of the Axiomatization of Biology in the Global-Realism Framework

This manuscript develops the third biological volume of the global-realist axiomatization program. It derives metabolism and biological energy transduction from previously established physical, chemical, cellular, and genetic foundations. Metabolism is defined as a stoichiometric...

The Outer‐Core Wind Structure Effects of Doksuri (2023) on the Heavy Rainfall Event in North China

Abstract While considerable attention has been paid to factors that determine the inner‐core and remote structure of tropical cyclone (TC) rainfall, less attention has been paid to what modulates TC rainfall distribution at intermediate distances. This study investigates the sens...

E8‑Φ Recursive Entanglement Lattice for Metric Engineering — E8 Intelligence Research

The E8‑Φ Recursive Entanglement Lattice demonstrates that modulating the 240 E8 root vectors with the golden ratio φ at the fundamental 132 Hz resonance creates a self‑organizing metascalar field whose eigen‑modes can be phased to superimpose curvature corrections onto the ambien...

A Water Budget Evaluation of a Tile-Drain-Fed Irrigation Pond in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA

Agricultural systems face heightened risks from extreme weather events and water insecurity. Producers commonly use irrigation ponds to secure or improve crop yields. The hydrology and storage efficiency of irrigation ponds in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA, are not well unde...

IntegratedCRISPR/Cas12a-Based Duplex Detection Platformfor Species Fingerprinting

Abstract Species fingerprinting is crucial to ensure food safety and human health, which requires a rapid, simple, multiplex, and field-deployable detection technique. In response, a lab-on-a-disc microfluidic chip with CRISPR/Cas12a that integrates target preamplification and si...
