AI-based analysis of key predictors of CO2 emissions across income groups

This study examines how macroeconomic, energy, demographic, and trade factors are associated with CO 2 emissions across country income groups using World Bank World development indicators (WDI) data (1990–2023). A set of deep learning models (multilayer perceptron (MLP), recurren...

Low-level laser therapy and conventional treatment for diabetic foot ulcers: a case series

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a serious complication of diabetes mellitus and are associated with prolonged healing, increased hospitalization, and risk of amputation. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), a non-invasive and low-cost modality, has shown potential to accelerate wound...

Batik for disaster communication: a conceptual framework for culturally grounded mitigation media and community resilience

Purpose This article develops a conceptual framework for understanding batik as a culturally grounded medium of disaster mitigation communication, linking hazard knowledge in manuscripts and oral traditions with visual heritage. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a concep...

Metabologenomics-guided bioprospecting of blue amazon microbial resources toward drug discovery

The Brazilian marine territory known as the Blue Amazon represents a vast and underexplored reservoir of microbial diversity with potential for natural product discovery. Here, we applied an integrated metabologenomics approach to investigate two marine actinomycetes, Nocardiopsi...

Impact of Earthquake Migration on the Structure and Dynamics of Diffuse Seismicity in Some Sections of the Tan-Lu Fault System

Abstract The impact of earthquake migration on the dynamics and structure of minor seismicity in the areas adjacent to the Tan-Lu fault system in Russia was investigated based on the analysis of temporal variation of M ≥ 2.5 earthquake occurrences in Priamurye at different time i...

Exploring the role of societal support in shaping breastfeeding experiences among mothers of preterm infants in rural Ghana

Breastfeeding is essential for preterm infant survival, but mothers in low-resource settings like rural Ghana face challenges due to cultural beliefs, limited support, and public stigma. Understanding how societal support influences breastfeeding is crucial for improving outcomes...

Interface Contact Optimization via Phosphomolybdic Acid Enables 24.9% Efficiency in MoOX-Based Silicon Solar Cells

Abstract The development of cost-effective carrier-selective passivating contacts is critical for enhancing the commercial feasibility of silicon compound solar cells. Molybdenum oxide (MoO X ) has garnered considerable interest as a promising hole transport layer (HTLs). A key a...

AI-assisted optimization of warm forging using real-time MES sensor data

Abstract The increasing demand for high functionality and dimensional precision in manufacturing has intensified the need for advanced production technologies for corrosion-resistant stainless-steel fasteners. Conventional nut production relies largely on cold forging or machinin...

Differentiating Bipolar and Unipolar Depression in the Era of Precision Psychiatry

Bipolar and unipolar depression share substantial clinical overlap, making differential diagnosis during depressive episodes particularly challenging.Because current diagnostic systems rely on the retrospective identification of manic or hypomanic episodes, many patients with bip...

The impact of project-based learning on pediatric nursing education: an integrative review

PURPOSE: This integrative review aimed to examine the application and outcomes of project-based learning (PjBL) in pediatric nursing education and to identify its key characteristics. METHODS: Following the integrative review methodology proposed by Whittemore and Knafl, a compre...

Groundwater resource assessment methods in the Ethiopian Rift Valley Basin: a systematic review

Water resources, particularly groundwater underpin the socio-economic development and ecological integrity of hydrogeologically complex regions such as the Ethiopian Rift Valley Basin (ERVB), where groundwater resources exhibit significant spatial variability due to active faulti...

Comorbidities in multiple sclerosis: acquired hepatocerebral degeneration mimicking disease progression

A 63-year-old patient with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) and comorbid liver cirrhosis presented with progressive cognitive decline, gait disturbance and elevated serum neurofilament light chain (NfL), suggesting disease progression independent of relapse activity (P...

Mechanisms of Association of Maternal Education and Intent to Vaccinate Children Against COVID-19

BACKGROUND Although higher maternal education is positively associated with many child health–promoting practices, it is more complicated for child vaccination, and the explanatory mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to examine mechanisms underlying the association of maternal ed...

Cascading displacement in Ethiopia: drought stress, insecurity, and market pressures in the remaking of mobility, settlement, and land claims

Displacement in Ethiopia is often governed and measured as a single event, yet people frequently move through sequential episodes shaped by drought stress, insecurity, and price pressures. Although scholarship on mobility trajectories, repeated displacement, and mobility regimes...

Early life sugar rationing and ageing related diseases, biological ageing and mortality

Early-life nutrition may influence lifelong ageing, yet human evidence is scarce. Using Britain’s postwar sugar rationing as a natural experiment, we examine its long-term effects in 64,809 United Kingdom Biobank participants. Exposure to sugar rationing during the first 1,000 da...

Screening of pre-type 1 diabetes in high-risk paediatric population: a pilot study in Latvia

The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) among the paediatric population in Latvia is gradually increasing, and ~ 50% of patients with newly diagnosed T1D present with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This study aimed to initiate T1D screening for high-risk children to reduce the rate...

Association of early parenteral energy provision with serum phosphorus decline and phosphorus-based refeeding syndrome in critically ill patients with liver cirrhosis: a Korean retrospective observational study

Purpose: Critically ill patients with liver cirrhosis are vulnerable to malnutrition and refeeding-related electrolyte disturbances, particularly with rapid caloric advancement. As hypophosphatemia is a key feature of refeeding syndrome (RFS) and phosphorus homeostasis may be imp...

Mitochondrial aggregates as a novel quality control mechanism and potential relationship to lipofuscinogenesis

Mitochondria employ quality control mechanisms to maintain homeostasis. Under chronic stress, these systems become overwhelmed, causing intramitochondrial aggregates formation. As a potential quality control process when canonical pathways are compromised, we propose a model of m...

X‑ray computed tomography‑based experimental investigation of CO₂ miscible zone formation mechanisms and degree of miscibility

Carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage–enhanced oil recovery (CCUS–EOR) depends on the progressive development of CO₂–oil miscibility, yet the pressure-controlled transition from interfacial mass transfer to porous-media miscible-zone propagation remains difficult to qu...

Addressing the influence of nomophobia on mental health among secondary school students in Ethiopia

Nomophobia (No-Mobile-Phone Phobia), defined as the fear or anxiety experienced when individuals are unable to access their smartphones, has emerged as a growing digital wellbeing concern among adolescents worldwide. Although smartphone access continues to expand across Ethiopia,...
