Associated factors for COVID-19 mortality among children and adolescents in Rio de Janeiro state, 2020–2023

Children and adolescents with COVID-19 typically present milder symptoms of the infection, with fatal outcomes being rare. This study aimed to analyze the main associated factors for mortality in this population group. A cross-sectional study was performed to analyze reported COV...

EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS

ABSTRACT: Various approaches are available to teachers for improving Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). The core components of action programs differ in the manner in which they are delivered, such as through explicit lessons, integration into academic subjects, or modification...

Volume 26: Mathematics as Informational Constraint

Abstract Mathematics has traditionally been understood as an abstract language invented to describe patterns and relationships in the physical world. This volume presents a fundamental reconceptualization under the ICQER (Informational Constraints, Quantum Entanglement, and Emerg...

Sovereignty, Silence, and the Cycle of Violence: International Response, Intervention Failure, and Impunity Dynamics Across 16 Genocidal Regimes

For seventy-eight years the international community has repeated the promise of “never again,” yet genocide has recurred with grim regularity. This dissertation asks why the architecture of international accountability has expanded across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries...

Digital Sustainability Integration in Logistics: A Unified Framework Combining Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Big Data Analytics

This study introduces an integrated conceptual framework for the synergy of artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data analytics (BDA) as an enabler of sustainable competitive advantage in logistics systems. While the existing literature has extensively explored these tech...

Stabilizer Codes, Parity Check Matrices, and Constant-Overhead Fault Tolerance — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Stabilizer formalism uses parity check matrices over GF(2) to define quantum error-correcting codes, linking to lattice geometry for fault-tolerant computation with constant overhead. | MATH: Stabilizer group generators correspond to rows of a parity check matrix \( H \)...

Functional, Radiological, and Neuromuscular Outcomes Following Reverse-Passing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Using Hamstring Autograft

Introduction: Combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction has gained increasing attention for improving rotational stability and reducing graft failure rates, but early outcomes following novel techniques such as the reverse-passing r...

Quantitative Assessment of Se(p,xn) Routes to Medical Bromine Radioisotopes

Abstract This study investigates proton-induced reactions on enriched selenium targets, focusing on the production of bromine radioisotopes, which are of significant medical relevance for both diagnostic imaging and therapeutic applications. The study employs Monte Carlo samples...

Seasonal modulation of platelet indices in mares

Platelet indices provide valuable information on platelet activation, heterogeneity, and production kinetics, yet their physiological variability remains poorly characterized in horses. Although seasonal changes in platelet count have been described, the seasonal modulation of de...

Toxicological effects of a difenoconazole fungicide on a non-target butterfly

Abstract Agricultural intensification, driven by increasing food demand, is one of the main drivers of global biodiversity loss. Pesticides, including fungicides, may increase crop yield but pose substantial threats to the environment. However, our current knowledge on the effect...

Perioperative myeloid cell remodeling shapes CAR-T cell efficacy in glioblastoma

Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is characterized by a profoundly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) that constrains the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy. Here, we show that surgical resection in both male mice and human GBM ex vivo induces a rapi...

Comparison of the Mechanical Properties of 3D-Printed Materials PET–G and rPET–G

The use of recycled polymers in additive manufacturing has emerged as a promising strategy for reducing the environmental impact of polymer processing. However, the influence of recycling on monotonic and fatigue properties of polymeric materials manufactured by fused deposition...

Analytical Method for Surrounding ROCK Pressure of Shallow-Buried Double-Arch Tunnels Under Variable-Slope Ground Surfaces

Based on limit-equilibrium theory, a calculation method for the surrounding rock pressure of shallow-buried variable-slope arch tunnels is proposed. A calculation model for surrounding rock pressure of variable-slope surfaces is established according to the structure and stress c...

Conformal prediction for spatial data with GAM-trend adjustment

Reliable uncertainty quantification for spatial prediction remains a central challenge due to the sensitivity of classical geostatistical methods, particularly kriging, to assumptions of stationarity, Gaussianity, and correctly specified covariance models.This study presents a pr...

Outcomes in patients with endophthalmitis and no light perception vision initially treated with intravitreal antibiotics

Abstract Background Management of endophthalmitis presenting with NLP (no light perception) vision remains poorly defined, with limited evidence guiding treatment decisions. We aim to investigate whether treatment with intravitreal antibiotics reduces the rate of enucleation or e...

Possibilities Planning and the Minimal Viable Assessment: From Portfolio Design to Adaptive Decision Making

Planning under uncertainty can narrow action to a single path too early, limiting flexibility when conditions change. This article introduces possibilities planning as a portfolio-based approach to coordinated action and decision-making under uncertainty. Rather than converging t...

From Sequence to an Auditable Fold: Smithian Fold Theory V3 Protein Fold Computational Proof — Preliminary Results

Updated preliminary version 0.9.4 of the standalone Smithian Fold Theory V3 Protein Fold computational-proof paper. The scientific gate remains the independently verified v20 boundary: one complete 42,173,082-candidate parent, a closed 583-state high-attraction slice, adverse his...

Adaptive intrathecal nanorobotics in mice and nonhuman primates for navigated CNS therapy

Intrathecal delivery for central nervous system (CNS) therapy lacks spatiotemporal control due to spinal canal anatomical constraints, especially at human scale. We developed an adaptive magnetic nanorobotic platform enabling multimode swarm mobility for in vivo spinal canal navi...

Stroke Risk Prediction Using Logistic Regression and Classification Trees in R

Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability worldwide, and early identification of high-risk individuals can meaningfully improve prevention outcomes. This study applies logistic regression and classification tree methods in R to estimate stroke ris...

Understanding student participation in teaching evaluations: a systematic review of psychological motivators and barriers

Purpose Student evaluation of teaching (SET) are pivotal to quality assurance in higher education, yet participation rates remain inconsistent. Despite considerable research on structural influences, limited attention has been given to the psychological processes underlying stude...
