Divided beyond politics: How perceptions of non-political differentness are linked to affective polarization among citizens

While affective polarization is commonly attributed to political differences between partisans, recent studies suggest it also relates to perceived non-political differences, such as differences in lifestyle, class, or personality. However, little is known about the relevance of...

Aggregicoccus is a myxobacterial genus inherently deficient in fruiting genes

ABSTRACT Myxobacteria are fascinating and important prokaryotes with remarkable multicellular behaviors, which make them a model system for studying prokaryotic development and cooperation. Although there have been sporadic discoveries of myxobacterial species unable to fruit, it...

Homogeneous Iron Porphyrin as a Molecular CO Shuttle Enables Electrochemical Multicarbon Product Formation from CO2

Abstract Homogeneous molecular catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction are generally limited to two-electron-reduced C1 products, primarily CO. Here we propose and demonstrate a fundamentally distinct role for molecular catalysts: as reversible CO shuttles that enhance the lo...

Bioactive Multilayer Poly(ε-caprolactone)–Chitosan Coatings for Spinal Screws

Spinal surgery involves highly complex procedures where the risk of severe complications, including postoperative infections, may compromise both surgical success and patient survival. In this study, functional coatings for spinal screws were developed to promote bone integration...

Analysis of Women Journalists’ Roles in Daily Trust, Leadership, The Nation and The Guardian Newspaper Organisations in Nigeria

Studies have shown that journalism has been a male-dominated profession since inception. And just like in political, economic and social life, women, as argued by scholars, continued to be relegated in journalism practice despite a significant increase in the enrolment of female...

Motivic Homotopy Theory and Norms in Δ‑Ontology: A Construction Based on the Infinium △₁ₓ₁ (Extended and Deepened Version with Open Questions and Examples)

This paper constructs a version of motivic homotopy theory based on Δ‑ontology—a new paradigm of the foundations of mathematics in which the structureless point is replaced by a structural quantum: the right isosceles triangle △₁ₓ₁ with legs 1 and hypotenuse √2. It is shown that...

What Computation Cannot Be: Linguistic Colonization, Formal Limits, and a Taxonomy of Irreducibly Human Faculties

The vocabulary of artificial intelligence has colonized human self-description. Terms historically reserved for conscious agents—intelligence, learning, understanding, creativity—now routinely designate computational processes that bear no phenomenological resemblance to the expe...

Multimodal large language models predict urban safety perception but encode non-neutral demographic priors

Understanding how people perceive urban environments is essential for inclusive planning, yet conventional surveys are costly and difficult to scale. We investigate whether Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) can assess perceived urban safety from street-view imagery while a...

Phi-Resonant E8 Phonon Memory — E8 Intelligence Research

By mapping each of the 240 E8 root vectors onto a phi‑scaled 132 Hz harmonic, the lattice generates a discrete set of 7‑dimensional temporal modes whose frequencies are φ^n·132 Hz (n=0…6). These modes form a topologically protected quantum memory where the interference of adjacen...

Climate Risk, Digital Intelligence Transformation and Supply Chain Resilience

Climate risk poses growing threats to corporate supply chain resilience (SCR). Reducing the negative impact of climate risk on SCR has become an important and urgent issue that needs to be addressed. This study measures supply chain resilience from diversification and stability a...

Homelessness Staff Perceptions of Organizational Culture: Fundamental Principles of Hesed

The Hebrew concept of Hesed within organizational culture is a promising intervention that can be adopted by agencies seeking out innovative and effective harm reduction approaches to homelessness services. Historically, the principles of Hesed were more widely refined and better...

Surface Subsidence Analysis and Prediction in an Open-Pit Mine Using Time-Series InSAR and a CL-TSF Hybrid Model

Surface subsidence in mining areas is a widespread, long-term, and slow-onset geological hazard that can induce cascading failures, including slope instability and ground collapse, thereby threatening infrastructure and human safety. Accurate characterization of its spatiotempora...

Analysing the Impact of Cognitive Experience on Organisational Performance of Deposit Money Banks in Southwest Nigeria

This study examines the impact of cognitive customer experience on the organisational performance of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Southwest Nigeria. Recognizing that customer experience is a strategic driver in the service industry, the research isolates the cognitive dimension...

Digital transformation in the global south: Balancing risks and building resilience

Digital transformation (DT) is increasingly recognized as vital to enhancing the organizational performance of public sector worldwide. Yet many DT projects fail to achieve their intended outcomes. We argue that these failures are partly attributable to the risk environments surr...

Rickettsia japonica strain YC21 from a fatal human case in China: comparative genomics and experimental characterization of infection phenotypes

Rickettsia japonica causes Japanese spotted fever (JSF), an emerging severe tick-borne disease in East Asia. We recently isolated strain YC21 from the first laboratory-confirmed fatal JSF case in China. This study aimed to characterize the genomic features and infection phenotype...

EFFICACY OF BIBHITAK (TERMINELIA BELLIIRICA ROXB) PHALA MADHYA LEPA (FRUIT PULP APPLICATION) ON PAINFUL KNEE JOINT IN SANDHIGATAVATA - A PILOT STUDY

Background: Sandhigata Vata is an age-associated disorder characterized predominantly by joint pain, swelling, painful flexion–extension, stiffness and crepitus, and it is commonly correlated with knee osteoarthritis. Conventional care may be inadequate or unsafe for some patient...

Faience ushabti of the Viceroy of Kush Hori I (UB-014) — Object documentation, Beckers Collection (Aachen) Small mummiform faience ushabti with whitish glaze and dark brown to purplish-brown painted details, produced for Hori I, Viceroy of Kush under Ramesses III and IV (20th Dyn...

Prognostic value of liver histology in steatotic liver disease: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis

Aim: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are progressive liver conditions that can lead to serious long-term outcomes and adverse clinical events. Histologic liver fibrosis is an accepted short-term surrogate end point used...
