Work with or work alone? How AI involvement in healthcare consultations shapes consumer responses to service failure

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into healthcare services, an important question emerges: should AI be deployed to work with humans physicians' or autonomously to provide healthcare services? This research examines how varying levels of AI involveme...

A cyclic family arising from Larson's matroid counterexample: exact symmetric-exchange arity and a socle theorem

This record contains the mathematical note "A cyclic family arising from Larson's matroid counterexample: exact symmetric-exchange arity and a socle theorem" and a two-page theorem synopsis for quick reading. For a cyclic family M_m of rank-3m binary matroids, the note proves tha...

Protocol for the enrichment of endosteal and periosteal mesenchymal cells from murine bone for single-cell transcriptome analysis

Bone comprises diverse cell populations essential for skeletal development, remodeling, and homeostasis. Current single-cell isolation methods often use bulk digestion that can obscure distinctions between periosteal and endosteal compartments. Here, we present an optimized murin...

Tubular elements in lymph node metastases from lobular carcinomas with or without tubule formation

Invasive lobular carcinomas may demonstrate tubule formation both at the primary and at metastatic sites. A series of 135 invasive lobular carcinomas scrutinously screened for tubular elements were used, and tumours with axillary lymph node metastases were selected for review. Tw...

A Hybrid Grey Verhulst Modeling framework for accurate tea yield forecasting in variable environmental conditions

Purpose Due to the Ceylon tea industry having faced a range of economic, structural and climate conditions over the past few decades, a robust statistical approach is essential for short-term forecasting of tea yield and tea income. However, the existing literature indicates that...

Environmental and genetic interactions in autism spectrum disorder: a literature review with a focus on air pollution

Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition which is associated with complex interactions between genetic susceptibility and environmental exposures. More recently, air pollution has been investigated as a modifiable risk factor and contributor to th...

CT Perfusion in lacunar stroke: a powerful tool to enhance lacunar stroke detection and prediction of patients’ outcome

INTRODUCTION: Lacunar strokes are caused by occlusion of small penetrating arteries. Although CT perfusion (CTP) is widely used in the acute settings, automated core/penumbra software often fails to detect lacunar perfusion abnormalities, so its diagnostic and prognostic roles re...

Esketamine induces ferroptosis and suppresses immune evasion in lung adenocarcinoma cells via the hsa_circ_0022392/miR-548b-3p/MAP7 axis

Abstract Background Although Esketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, is widely used for anesthesia and analgesia and has shown anticancer activity, its effects on lung adenocarcinoma remain unclear. Circular RNAs have been implicated in the development and...

A Multi-omics Regulated Cell Death Framework Defines Immune Phenotypes and Guides Precision Therapy in Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is molecularly and immunologically heterogeneous, contributing to variable treatment response. Because regulated cell death (RCD) intersects with tumor metabolism, immune regulation, and therapeutic susceptibility, we built an RCD-centered framework for CR...

Nutritional support for critically ill patients by the Korean Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition—part II: a clinical practice guideline

Purpose: Nutritional therapy is an essential component of intensive care management. Appropriate nutritional support may reduce infectious and metabolic complications and promote recovery in critically ill patients. However, nutritional practices vary across institutions, and int...

Global Observables in Statistical Mechanics

Abstract We present a canonical construction of global observables -sometimes referred to in the literature as macroscopic observables or observables at infinity- in statistical mechanics, providing a unified treatment of both commutative and non-commutative cases. Unlike standar...

Chemical Features of Rare-Earths Accessory Minerals in the Lower–Middle Cambrian Terrigenous Rocks from the Argun Series of the Northwestern Part of the Argun Superterrane as Indicators of the Sources

Abstract The paper presents the results of the chemical study of rare-earth accessory minerals of the Lower–Middle Cambrian terrigenous rocks of the Bystraya Formation and the Ernichny Unit of the Argun Series of the Argun Superterrane. The chemical analysis of monazite, xenotime...

Aum Shinrikyo and the AI Uplift Problem: How LLMs Could Lower the Threshold for CBRN Harm

This case study examines how large language models could lower the barriers to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives harm by improving access to technical knowledge, troubleshooting, interpretation, and operational decision-making. Using Aum Shinrikyo as a h...

First report of culturable fungi associated with the Brazilian sharpnose shark (Rhizoprionodon lalandii) from southeastern Brazil

Climate change and other anthropogenic environmental changes may alter fungal distributions and ecological interactions, potentially facilitating the emergence or redistribution of opportunistic fungi in marine ecosystems. These shifts raise concerns regarding microbial contamina...

Oncology Education in Lithuania: An Integrated Curriculum at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences

Cancer remains a major health burden in Lithuania, emphasizing the importance of effective undergraduate oncology education. This paper describes the structure and key features of the integrated oncology curriculum at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU). Oncology...

Personality Traits of High Achieving Students at Ajloun Governorate

Personality traits are a vital topic in psychology across its numerous fields. They differ from one individual to another, even for the same individual, and from one age group to another. Many teachers and educators in Jordan are still unaware of the important role of personality...

A case of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in a cirrhotic patient

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare fatal central nervous system demyelinating disease caused by John Cunningham virus (JCV). Immunodeficiency induces JCV reactivation, resulting in oligodendrocyte lysis, demyelination, and astrocytic dysfunction. We report...

FOSTERING ORGANISATIONAL AMBIDEXTERITY THROUGH ABSORPTIVE CAPACITY: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF INNOVATION CULTURE

In the increasingly competitive landscape, organisations are emphasising absorptive capacity, innovation culture, and organisational ambidexterity to sustain their competitive edge. This research investigates how innovation culture serves as a mediating factor in the linkage betw...

Emergent Gravity from a Discrete Coordinate Network with a Presentist Temporal Metric: A Self-Consistent Derivation

This preprint introduces a self-consistent framework for quantum gravity where spacetime emerges from a discrete network at the Planck scale. Instead of treating spacetime as a fundamental continuum, the model describes space as a connected weighted graph and time evolution as an...

Exploring in-service Chinese as a second language teachers’ cognition and stated practices in teaching intercultural communicative competence

Abstract The cultivation of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) has become an increasingly important objective in language education. The rapid global expansion of Chinese as a second language (CSL) education has highlighted a gap in research on how in-service CSL teache...
