Creation and Validation of the Meaningful Experiences Measure for Museums

A new tool for measuring meaningful experiences in museums was developed, consisting of 15 items that explore various themes integral to meaningful visitor experiences. The tool is unidimensional, which facilitates its practical use by museum researchers for trend analysis across...

Decision-Path Inverse Reconstruction: Observed Decision Outcomes as Structural Constraints on Latent Decision Paths

This working paper proposes Decision-Path Inverse Reconstruction (DPIR), an inverse analytical operation within the Atlas Insight Method (AIM). DPIR treats an observed decision outcome not only as the endpoint of a judgment process, but also as structural information that constra...

Clinical Trial: Dupilumab Improves Eosinophilic Oesophagitis Outcomes Versus Placebo Regardless of Comorbidities or Treatment History in a Randomised Clinical Trial

BACKGROUND: Patients with eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) can present with differing disease characteristics, treatment resistance, and associated type 2 inflammatory comorbidities. We assessed the efficacy of dupilumab in subgroups of patients with EoE from the LIBERTY EoE TREET...

Safety and health of workers in post-disaster reconstruction: a scoping review and evidence map

Post-disaster reconstruction (PDR) is essential for restoring damaged communities, yet the occupational safety and health (OSH) of PDR workers remains poorly understood. Although PDR involves many familiar construction hazards, these risks arise under distinct conditions, includi...

Addendum: Magnetic field screening in hydrogen-rich high-temperature superconductors

In our paper 1 , we studied the magnetic response of H 3 S and LaH 10 superconductors to an applied magnetic field using Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) magnetometry. Prof. Hirsch, in his Matters Arising entitled “On the Author Correction to “Magnetic field sc...

Inadequate antibody validation places substantial numbers of animal and human tissue samples at risk of waste

Lack of antibody validation by researchers frequently misdirects biomedical research, yet the ethical consequences—particularly avoidable use of animal and human biological materials—remain unquantified. Using focus groups ( n = 12), surveys ( n = 107), and systematic analysis of...

Highly multiplexed mammalian metabolic engineering with a shotgun approach

Mammalian metabolic engineering advances basic biology, bioproduction and cell therapy. However, as pathway complexity increases, so does the size of the combinatorial design space and required DNA constructs, rendering unbiased screens intractable. Here, we developed shotgun gen...

Physician- and Practice-Level Variation in Clinical Trial Participation Among Patients With Advanced Cancer

Importance Clinical trial enrollment is essential to advancing cancer care, yet participation among patients with advanced cancer remains low. While patient-level barriers are frequently cited, the role of health care delivery factors—specifically physician- and practice-level va...

Development of diagnostic reference levels and acceptable quality dose for computed tomography in an Indian tertiary care center

Background Computed tomography (CT) contributes substantially to medical radiation exposure, making diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) important for dose optimization. This study aimed to establish preliminary institutional DRLs and evaluate acceptable quality dose (AQD) at an In...

Beyond Board Governance: Does the External Governance Ecosystem Enhance Corporate Value in Emerging Markets? Evidence from Listed Nigerian Banking Institutions

Purpose This study investigates whether the external governance ecosystem enhances the corporate value of listed Nigerian banking institutions. Moving beyond the traditional board-centric approach, it examines the influence of regulatory oversight, external audit quality, and env...

State of Stress in Subduction Zone Forearcs: Influence of the Mantle Wedge Corner and Serpentinization

Abstract We investigate the role of the elasticity and density of the forearc mantle wedge corner on the stress distribution in the forearc region of subduction zones, using numerical quasi‐2D lithospheric deformation models for the Cascadia, Nankai, NE Japan, and Costa Rica subd...

Angular momentum drives proton-rich nucleosynthesis in hyperaccreting neutron stars in common envelopes

Abstract Interacting binaries, especially for massive star systems, produce a wide range of exotic systems including X-ray binaries and merging neutron star systems. In the rapid expansion as a star moves off the main sequence (core hydrogen exhaustion), the star can engulf its c...

Higher frequency of homologous chromosome pairing in adult endothelial cells as compared to neonatal endothelial cells

During mitosis, pairing of homologous chromosomes can be detrimental and has been correlated with gene misregulation, chromosomal aberrations, and various pathological diseases. We previously demonstrated that homologous chromosomes are spatially segregated, or antipaired, in neo...

V₀ Disappearance Theory: Master Theory Record v1.6b — Proof-Provenance Closure, Bounded Inheritance-Completeness, and Final Bibliographic Hardening

This technical research record consolidates the V₀ Disappearance Theory through the DT0–DT5R, KMA0–KMA5, RSP0–RSP15, GBO0–GBO10, CS0–CS15, and subsequent REOPEN/ordinary-BSM competitor-analysis stages.Version 1.6b adds three principal layers of hardening. First, it audits structu...

The role of retinal flow in walking

Both visual direction and optic flow have been implicated in walking toward a goal in experiments that use prisms to alter visual direction. However, prisms bias retinal flow patterns in ways that might affect the path chosen. We used a prism manipulation in virtual reality for g...

From the Euro-Mediterranean partnership to DG MENA: examining three decades of Euro-Mediterranean relations through the lenses of policy learning

Abstract This Special Issue examines the thirty-year trajectory of Euro-Mediterranean relations, through the lenses of policy learning. By analyzing what is learned, how learning occurs, and what outcomes emerge from the learning process, this Special Issue highlights how and to...

S³ LIGHT-TRISPHERE ATLAS: A Technical Atlas of an Interactive First-Principles Scientific Universe

S³ LIGHT-TRISPHERE ATLAS is an interactive scientific atlas that brings astronomical data, geometric constructions and computational models into a shared environment for exploration. This technical preprint by Boris Batenin and Andrei Preece documents seven worlds, 133 laboratori...

Functional Audit and Candidate-Coverage Diagnostics for Connection Dynamics

Under frozen criteria and in artificial environments, some relation combinations pass an existence gate, a task-synergy gate, and a limited set of control gates; offering identity opportunities to historically selected targets can raise retention rates on some seeds. This support...

GTPA: Agency on a Noisy Base Motion, Without Physics. Core Edition with Part H, the Human Sector

GTPA v2.1 is a mathematical framework for modelling an agent that acts on a noisy base motion. The agent reads the base through a lens, estimates an error, chooses an action by one control law with one effort metric, and adds that action to the base with a dial; at dial zero the...

The "Greenham Common" Paradox and Digital Karma: Thermodynamic Asymmetry of Gig-Economy Warfare, Post-Deterrence Abandonment, and the Collapse of Pacifist Perimeters

【Description / Abstract】For more than four decades, Western civil pacifism and host-nation anti-base movements—canonized in post-war cultural consciousness and literary artifacts, such as Ali Smith's Winter through the uncompromising persona of the Greenham Common peace activis...
