Perceived Barriers to Micronutrient-Rich Diets Among Charitable-Service Users in Two European Settings: A Qualitative Pilot Study

People experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage are disproportionately affected by micronutrient deficiencies, but evidence concerning the barriers to micronutrient-rich diets among disadvantaged populations in European settings is limited. This qualitative study (eight focus grou...

Crafting the DNA of smart hospitals: decoding standards and indicators through a scoping review

The significant global spread of smart hospitals emphasizes the need for clear and well-defined criteria and standards to effectively guide their design, implementation, evaluation, and management. This scoping review aimed to clarify the requirements for smart hospitals by exami...

Projects, Not Funds: Structural Room, Expected Returns and the Scale of Monetary Transmission to Investment

Secular-stagnation theories work through a falling natural rate and the lower bound. This paper offers an investment-side complement away from the bound. Its central object is structural room: the scale of expansion projects an economy can still absorb, which investment uses up a...

An optically independent administrative reference for validating built-surface products, and the tree-canopy bias it reveals

Percentage impervious surface from optical satellite products underpins stormwater regulation, land-change accounting and equity assessment, yet it is validated almost exclusively against other optical references. Any error mechanism that suppresses the built signal in the refere...

Mapping equity-relevant inputs of AI mental health tools to routine primary care data: a population-based study of 7.19 million adults with multiple long-term conditions in England

Abstract Background Artificial intelligence-enabled tools are increasingly used to support mental health diagnosis, triage and clinical decision-making. However, limited evidence exists on whether these tools incorporate equity-relevant population characteristics, particularly am...

Establishing Stakeholder Priorities for Development of a Multi‐Arm Multi‐Stage Platform Trial in Crohn's Disease

ABSTRACT Background and Aims The expanding range of advanced therapies for Crohn's disease (CD) has increased complexity in treatment selection, particularly in refractory disease. Conventional randomised controlled trials are limited in evaluating multiple treatment strategies e...

Salience, Ranking, and Metabolism: Three Conflated Signals in Long-Running Agent Memory Systems

Long-running agent memory systems commonly treat "importance" as a single quantity. We argue that it conflates three distinct signals, and that the conflation is a structural design error rather than an implementation detail. A scoring formula written in 2023 for a simulation dem...

NEOLISIZATION: Executive Treatise and Mathematical Framework / NEOLISIZACIÓN: Tratado Ejecutivo y Marco Matemático

### ENGLISH VERSION **Neolisization (Version 2.0)** expands the original executive manifesto into a comprehensive theoretical and quantitative framework designed to replace industrial brute-force paradigms with a **syntropic, low-friction design logic**. This version incorporates...

Obsessive-compulsive disorder in adulthood: Etiology, diagnosis, and treatment

BACKGROUND: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is common, with a lifetime prevalence of 1.3-4.1%, and it usually markedly impairs the quality of life of those affected. The rationale behind this article is to present an up-to-date review of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment...

Eval4DiRec: A Unified and Systematic Evaluation Framework for Diffusion-based Recommender Systems

Leveraging the strong generative capabilities and stable training dynamics of diffusion models, diffusion-based recommender systems (RSs) have recently emerged as a novel recommendation paradigm, attracting increasing attention from both academia and industry. However, despite th...

The Finsler-Mucini Formalism and the Early Universe: An Analysis of the JWST-GLIMPSE Program

This paper provides a formal analysis of the recent JWST-GLIMPSE program results ("A Glimpse of the 99%", Atek et al., 2026) within the framework of Finsler-Mucini Thermo-Relativity. We demonstrate how the unexpected structural resilience of early dwarf galaxies against destructi...

Evaluating the Impact of Entrustable Professional Activity Based Medical Student Teaching and Logbook Usage on Competence and Confidence in Peripheral Intravenous Cannulation

Introduction Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) are specific and measurable units of clinical practice used in competency-based training. Learners demonstrate skills to assessors who assign supervision levels for future practice. This study evaluated the impact of EPA-bas...

Effect of Magnetic Field Orientation on Thermal Conductivity in FeNi2 Alloys

Objectives: This study aims to quantify how the orientation of an external magnetic field influences the thermal conductivity of FeNi₂ (permalloy) alloys. Method: This study used a multiscale approach combining LAMMPS spin-lattice dynamics simulations and analytical calculations...

Bassey’s blunder: Shirley Bassey, Welsh anti‑apartheid activism, and the cultural boycott against South Africa

Based on archival research carried out with the papers of the Welsh Anti-Apartheid Movement (WAAM) and the British Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM), this article contributes to the burgeoning project of provincializing the history of domestic anti-apartheid activism. In particular,...

RootQuant held-out test set: maize and soybean minirhizotron images with manually traced root length and root surface area

A lack of high-throughput phenotyping solutions for root traits in field-grown crops has severely constrained understanding and improvement of below-ground traits and processes. Minirhizotrons are the standard non-destructive root-phenotyping method in field environments. Compute...

Shared and vaccine-specific factors associated with COVID-19 and influenza vaccination intentions among adults in Poland: a COM-B-informed cross-sectional study

Introduction Vaccination intentions reflect both vaccine-specific attitudes and cognitive, social, and practical conditions. This study aimed to identify shared and vaccine-specific factors associated with COVID-19 and influenza vaccination intentions among adults in Poland using...
