Nutrition and health status in the follow-up of the risks and benefits of a vegan diet (RBVD) study

Abstract To examine health risks and benefits of a vegan diet, the RBVD study was conducted in 2017 and followed up in 2021. The present paper evaluated dietary nutrient intake and status together with systemic cardiometabolic health-related biomarkers and examinations among vega...

Three-dimensional seismic analysis based on FE modeling using 3-D survey incorporating spatial variability of stiffness

Abstract Japan is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world, where a significant portion of disaster-related losses can be attributed to structural collapses. Thus, the inspection of geo-structures related to these earthquakes is important. Although conventional ins...

Behavioural insights into stigma-free relational support for pregnant smokers

Purpose This study aims to present behavioural insights from a pilot stigma-free, incentive-supported pregnancy smoking cessation intervention implemented within one of the NHS trusts in Nottinghamshire, England, UK. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative data included operatio...

Double treatise: The Field Theory of Life and The photone universe

This treatise is composed of the author's previously unpublished position papers and material on the vibrational physics:This work formulates a fundamental alternative to classical evolutionary biology and astrophysics by consistently subordinating biological, geological, and cos...

Cross-species single-nucleus transcriptomics identifies microglial Arhgap22 as a conserved modulator of synaptic phagocytosis and depression-related behaviors

Abstract Microglia-regulated neuroinflammation is associated with major depressive disorder (MDD), yet the molecular drivers of pathological microglia-neuron interactions remain poorly defined. Here, we conducted single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) of the prefrontal cortex...

An Edict of Conquest: MCIS and Goldbach's Conjecture

This manuscript presents the "Mutually Constrained Identity Set" (MCIS) and its application to Goldbach's Conjecture. Goldbach's Conjecture, a three-century-old enigma, is not profoundly unsolvable; it is merely the victim of an obsolete paradigm. By establishing the equation P+P...

SPIRIT-CONSORT-ELM: element-level annotated dataset and large language model approach for assessing randomized controlled trial reporting

Abstract Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are central to assessing the benefits and harms of interventions, but incomplete reporting undermines their verifiability and usefulness. Although SPIRIT and CONSORT reporting guidelines promote complete reporting of RCT protocols and...

The Unreferenced Whole: An Exteriorless Completion Hypothesis v2.0 — Order Prohibition and Complete Referential Balance

This work presents Version 2.0 of The Unreferenced Whole: An Exteriorless Completion Hypothesis. The study introduces Order Prohibition and Complete Referential Balance as foundational cosmological principles within the Generative Structure Theory framework. The argument begins f...

Growth Is Not Survival Two Readings of One Function, and the Opposite Effects of Concentration

Abstract Economic and policy discussion often treats growth as a proxy for survival: as long as the aggregate is rising, the system is taken to be healthy. This paper argues that growth and survival are two readings of one function and can move in opposite directions. Let the one...

Visible-Light-Induced Synthesis for Sulfonyl (Thio)chromones and 4-Quinolones from 2-Alknyl Benzaldehydes and Sodium Sulfinates via a Cascade Sulfonylation/Cyclization/Isomerization Processes

Herein, we report a visible-light-mediated photoredox reaction for the synthesis of sulfonyl 4-(thio)chromones and 4-quinolone derivatives. This transformation employs easily accessible 2-alkynyl benzaldehydes and sodium sulfinates as starting materials, enabling a one-pot cascad...

Factors associated with U15-to-U17 roster reappearance in Chinese female youth basketball players: a retrospective longitudinal cohort study

Abstract Background Relative age effects (RAE) are well documented in youth basketball, but whether age-related patterns at U15 are associated with later roster reappearance in multi-birth-year competitions remains unclear. This study examined factors associated with U17 roster r...

Molecular Connectivity Controls Electronic Coupling and Charge-Transfer Dynamics at Anthracene–MoS2 Interfaces

Abstract Controlling interfacial charge-transfer (CT) interactions is a central challenge in two-dimensional (2D) organic–inorganic hybrid materials. Here, we show that molecular connectivity strongly governs excited-state evolution at a 2D heterointerface using anthracene (An) d...

Prophylactic administration of probiotic strains Weizmannia coagulans and Saccharomyces boulardii attenuates early dysplastic changes in an AOM/DSS-induced mouse model

Abstract Background Colorectal dysplasia represents an early stage of colorectal carcinogenesis and is closely associated with chronic inflammation and altered microRNA (miRNA) expression. Probiotic strains such as Weizmannia coagulans (formerly Bacillus coagulans) and Saccharomy...

Lactate trajectory patterns in neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis: an exploratory retrospective cohort study using group-based trajectory modeling

Abstract Background Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating neonatal condition with high mortality, yet early identification of infants at highest risk remains challenging. Lactate dynamics may offer prognostic value beyond single measurements, yet statistical trajectory...

Task-Relative Transition Structure: Accessibility, Ordered Transformations, and Boundary-Contact Scaling

This work develops a task-relative framework for characterizing transitions under admissible transformations. Rather than treating state margin as a sufficient measure of transition robustness, the framework separates task-boundary margin, accessibility, ordered transformation st...

Connecting Data, Strengthening Research: FAIRagro as a Central Contact Point for Research Data Management in the Agricultural Sciences

This poster was presented on the TRA Workshop "Great Data, Great Science" at the University of Bonn on 06 October 2026. --- Agricultural research increasingly depends on the integration, standardization, and sustainable reuse of heterogeneous research data. Data are generated acr...

A placebo-controlled randomized cross-over lovastatin trial in neurofibromatosis type 1 reveals Ras/MAPK modulation of dynamic emotional face processing

Abstract Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by cognitive and socioemotional processing deficits, associated with dysregulation of the Ras/MAPK pathway and alterations in neural inhibition and the GABA system. This study examined the effe...

Synergistic Tuning of Electrochemical Performance in Ni-Modified CuCo-MOFs for Flexible Energy Storage Devices

Abstract The rapid expansion of flexible, portable, and wearable electronic technologies has heightened the need for energy-storage systems that provide mechanical durability and operational safety. MOFs (Metal Organic Frameworks) have attracted considerable attention due to thei...

Master of One's Own Acts: Thomas Aquinas and Delegated Decision in Generative Artificial Intelligence

This essay argues that generative artificial intelligence can displace students from the very act that, according to Thomas Aquinas, makes an action human: deciding with deliberation. For Aquinas, the human being differs from irrational creatures in being master of his own acts,...

Perceptions of preparedness for mental health practice among newly qualified occupational therapists in South Africa

Abstract Background Newly qualified healthcare professionals are often the backbone of service delivery, particularly in resource-constrained settings where workforce shortages persist. In South Africa, newly qualified occupational therapists frequently assume responsibility for...
