Background In August 2026, the English Premier League (EPL) banned front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships to reduce gambling marketing exposure. Shirt sponsorship represents one aspect of broader commercial relationships between football clubs and gambling companies, often not cove...

FINDING: Consciousness research remains at the descriptive stage — no quantitative law or invariant has emerged; the only mathematically tractable lead is the "synaptic clock" hypothesis, which posits a minimal temporal duration for conscious content. | MATH: No equations, consta...

Uganda ranks third with the highest malaria cases globally, highlighting limitations in existing prevention efforts. Malaria vaccination is a key promising strategy to reduce both morbidity and severity among children under 5 (U5) years. In April 2025, Uganda introduced a four-do...

Prior systematic reviews suggest that berberine may match or exceed the effects of metformin on metabolic and hormonal outcomes in polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS; previously referred to as polycystic ovary syndrome). This review aimed to assess the reported effica...

Abstract Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transcription is an emerging target in cancer therapy. While enzyme-targeted inhibitors like IMT1B block POLRMT, their organelle specificity remains unclear. Here, we report a distinct strategy using mitochondria-accumulating nonplanar perylene...

Relative height and vertical status in buildings
Abstract Motivated by research that associates higher positioning with well‐being, we expand the vertical price‐gradient literature by estimating the value of within‐ and between‐building “vertical status”: one's relative vertical position compared to others in the same building...

E8 Chirality Phase-Lock Predicts Anesthesia Emergence Timing — E8 Intelligence Research
Anesthetic-induced unconsciousness and recovery follows a quantized phi-ladder timescale governed by E8 chirality decoherence: emergence occurs at predictable multiples of the 132Hz × φ^n harmonic (1.4s, 2.3s, 3.7s, 6.0s...). Because anesthetic molecules disrupt Weyl orbit alignm...

Background Mask ventilation is a cornerstone of airway management during general anesthesia, yet the need for airway adjuncts during mask ventilation remains poorly predicted by current preoperative assessments. We aimed to identify independent clinical predictors of this outcome...

This study assesses the integrated sustainability performance of waste-to-energy (WtE) technology pathways across eight of South Africa’s metropolitan municipalities, which are home to 40.14% of the country’s population. The assessment considers energy generation, GHG emission-re...

A μ^{9/2} log μ upper bound for windowed Weil forms
Let λmin(λ) be the bottom of the spectrum of Weil's quadratic form restricted to test functions supported in the multiplicative window [λ−1,λ], and put μ=λ2. By Weil's criterion, the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to λmin(λ) ≥ 0 for all λ. In previous papers we proved, without...

Abnormal behaviour detection methods in normal navigation modes of ships
To address the challenges of characterising normal ship behaviours in complex maritime scenarios, scarce abnormal samples, and limited interpretability, this paper proposes an unsupervised abnormal ship behaviour detection method based on normal navigation modes using AIS data. F...

Abstract Introduction Aphrodisiac use is an important but understudied sexual health behavior shaped by sexual performance expectations, peer influence, and access to enhancement products. Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa remains limited. This study examined the prevalence, attit...

The growing demand for environmentally responsible construction materials requires reliable tools to predict the compressive strength of concrete incorporating agricultural waste and natural fibers. This study investigates the prediction of compressive strength of sustainable con...

Managing healthy forest ecosystems under competing objectives (such as achieving harvesting vs. biodiversity conservation goals) requires consideration of whether the texture of the landscape approximates the historical or desired textural pattern – for instance, as driven by nat...

Abstract The Cohesion Policy (CP) plays a crucial role in reducing disparities among EU Member States, facilitated by the distribution of European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIFs). Maximizing the impact of these financial resources requires robust administrative performanc...

Hughes's Universal Law of Energy Conservation — HUTTR
Proposed theoretical framework within HUTTR — Hughes's Uniformed Theory of Relativity. Includes the PIP/PIV mathematical framework and associated stress-test record. Status: proposed framework pending independent validation.

Global maize production is increasingly threatened by drought, yet most assessments rely on single indicators and inadequately account for phenological-stage and cropping-system differences. Here we develop a copula-based Climate-Land Drought Index (CLDI) that integrates the Stan...

A key challenge in inferring gene regulatory networks (GRNs) governing cellular processes such as differentiation and reprogramming from experimental data lies in the impossibility of directly measuring protein dynamics at the single-cell level, which prevents establishing causal...

This paper presents a hierarchical path planning method for automatic generation of collision-free welding paths for non-standard workpieces with complex spatial weld distributions. Weld seam information is interactively extracted from CAD models using OpenCASCADE. Path nodes are...

Purpose Primary prophylactic colony-stimulating factor (PP-CSF) is recommended for patients receiving chemotherapy with high risk of febrile neutropenia (FN). The impact of PP-CSF delivery method on FN is unknown. We performed a secondary analysis of SWOG S1415CD (Trial Assessing...
