A scoping review of evidence of the livelihood and welfare impact of microfinance institutions’ financial inclusion schemes and programs in developing countries

Microfinance institutions (MFIs) are major providers of financial inclusion tools in developing countries, serving small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) and low-income individuals and households. However, there are concerns about MFIs shifting from their social outreach goals...

E8 Quaternion Order Parameter Links 8D Roots to 3D Icosahedral Quasicrystals — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: E8 lattice quaternion order parameter links 8D root system to 3D icosahedral quasicrystal solidification via McKay correspondence. MATH: E8 root system has 240 minimal vectors; quaternion orientational order parameter classifies isotropic liquid → icosahedral quasicrysta...

Compilation Context as a Security Variable: A Cross-Language Classification Framework

The compilation context of a program — the flags, format settings, feature selections, and diagnostic instrumentation used at build time — is not necessarily represented by the source file itself. Changing these elements, without modifying a single line of source, can change what...

The Ein Stein: A Single Tile That Forces Aperiodic Tiling — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Aperiodic monotile ("ein Stein") forces non-repeating tiling of the plane, resolving a 60-year search and linking to quasicrystals' forbidden 5-fold symmetry. | MATH: The monotile (arXiv:2203.12382) is a single, simply-connected polygon whose tiling admits no translation...

Operationalizing High Ischemic Risk After the 2026 ACC Scientific Statement: a disease-based, bleeding-filtered algorithm for aspirin in primary prevention

PREPRINT, NOT PEER REVIEWED. Deposited to establish a dated public record of authorship while the manuscript is under journal review. Background and aims. Guideline statements sometimes name a treatment target without an operational definition. The 2026 American College of Cardio...

Prediction-Horizon Transport of Adam's Optimal Momentum State

Adam's future behavior depends not only on the model parameters but also on its hidden first-moment state. This work develops a prediction-horizon transport theory for Adam's finite-horizon optimal momentum state under frozen local quadratic dynamics in a prescribed correction su...

Perceived Distance and Normative Friction

Perceived Distance and Normative Friction: A Threshold Theorem of Practical Alignment Between Normative Demand and Operative Practical Orientation develops a self-contained structural theorem for the practical alignment problem that arises when an actor sincerely affirms a normat...

The ESG patience premium: investor tolerance and market adjustment dynamics in European hospitality

Inderscience is a global company, a dynamic leading independent journal publisher disseminates the latest research across the broad fields of science, engineering and technology; management, public and business administration; environment, ecological economics and sustainable dev...

Babylonian Tablets Reveal Implicit Proto-Proofs of √2 Irrationality — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Babylonian geometry tablets contain implicit proto-proofs of √2 irrationality via reciprocal-pair algorithms, not formal Greek-style proof. | MATH: √2 ≈ 1;24,51,10 (sexagesimal) = 1.41421296…; reciprocal pair (x, 1/x) with x = 1;24,51,10 and 1/x = 0;59,59,59,38,26,24 — p...

Digital Intermediation in Skilled Health Worker Migration: Platforms for Peer Support and Brokerage

Digital infrastructures have become important elements of the sociotechnical assemblages that mediate contemporary migration trajectories. Although digital platforms, tools and networks can be used to surveil and control migrants, they also afford migrants possibilities to self-o...

E8 Resonant Phase‑Lattice for Cohesive Entanglement Network — E8 Intelligence Research

We propose the E8 Resonant Phase‑Lattice (E8‑RPL), a periodic phase‑space scaffold that stitches the 240 E8 root vectors into a multilayered toroidal net resonant at the 132 Hz phi‑harmonic. By aligning the phi‑torsion waveguide modes with the vacuum braid topology, each lattice...

Nicotine Pouch Advertising and Sales in Australia: A Qualitative Study of Younger People's Experiences

ABSTRACT Issue Addressed Their position as a target demographic of the tobacco industry means younger people are best placed to provide information on the activities of industry actors in relation to nicotine pouches. Accordingly, we aimed to qualitatively examine younger people'...

Metalogical Foundation of the Spatial Architecture and Ambient Universe (SAA)

We outlines the metalogical foundations of the Spatial Architecture and Ambient Universe (SAA). By operating within an Intuitionistic Topos and adhering to Constructive Mathematics, the SAA formally rejects the Law of Excluded Middle and the Axiom of Choice. We defines the spatia...

Ubuntu and African Relational Philosophies: Personhood, Flourishing and Human Direction — An Interdisciplinary Research Programme

This concept note proposes an African-led interdisciplinary research programme examining Ubuntu and the wider plurality of African philosophies of personhood, relationship, moral becoming, community, meaningful participation, flourishing, and human direction. The programme begins...

Career Transition of Elite Athletes: Challenges of Adaptation to Post‐Athletic Life and Proposed Interventions for Sport Career Termination

ABSTRACT This quantitative, descriptive, and survey‐based study investigated career transitions of 221 retired elite athletes in Turkey, focusing on emotional adjustment, coping strategies, and employment challenges. Financial and employment concerns were the main factors influen...

Longitudinal Associations Between Overparenting and Emerging Adults' Psychological Maladjustment: The Mediating Role of Coping Strategies

ABSTRACT Introduction Mental health challenges are increasingly prevalent among college‐attending emerging adults. Although overparenting has been consistently linked to psychological maladjustment, the longitudinal processes underlying this link are unclear. Given coping's centr...

Prediction of Prion Proteins in E. coli Based on Bimodal Sequence Characteristics

ABSTRACT Prions are infectious proteins that bear misfolded conformations capable of converting folded states into misfolded aggregates under physiologically relevant conditions. In mammals, prions cause deadly maladies including Creutzfeldt‐Jakob and chronic wasting disease. To...

Plimpton 322: Old Babylonian Sexagesimal Trigonometry via Exact Ratios, Not Angles — E8 Intelligence Research
