Trust but Verify: Testing a Framework for AI Interrogation in Nursing Education

Generative AI produces fluent, confident output that is sometimes fabricated. Nursing students increasingly submit work built on sources that do not exist, or that exist and do not support the claims drawn from them. This session reports two semesters of classroom observation tes...

Designing Custom Chatbots for Classroom Use: Practical Examples, Benefits, and Current Limitations

Recent advances in generative AI have made it increasingly possible for individual educators to design and implement their own custom chatbots without advanced programming skills (Abe & Kaneshige, 2025). This workshop introduces practical examples of custom chatbots developed for...

AI Across the Curriculum: Early Insights from UNR Students and Faculty

In July 2025, the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) joined librarians, educators, and administrators across 15-20 institutions to participate in an Ithaka S+R AI cohort. Ithaka S+R has worked with academic libraries, teaching and learning centers, and college administrators across...

Simulating the Clinical Encounter: Using AI Personas for Risk-Free Mental Health Assessment Practice

Mental health assessment requires students to navigate complex conversations involving depression, anxiety, mania, psychosis, suicide risk, and other sensitive clinical situations. Yet opportunities to repeatedly practice these conversations in a safe, low-stakes environment can...

The Unreferenced Whole: An Exteriorless Completion Hypothesis v2.1

This preprint presents Version 2.1 of The Unreferenced Whole, a foundational cosmological hypothesis within the Generative Structure Theory research program. The model proposes Order Prohibition: no fundamental ordering relation can exist at the cosmological foundation. From this...

Automated surveillance of primary outcome reporting in clinical trials: Development and validation of a scalable screening pipeline

Background: Detecting discrepancies between registered and published trial outcomes currently requires manual expert review, limiting surveillance to small samples. No scalable automated system exists for continuous monitoring of outcome reporting integrity across the clinical tr...

Split Selves, Alienated Subjects: Mr. Robot and Severance Against Corporate Capitalism

Mr. Robot (Sam Esmail, 2015-2019) and Severance (Dan Erickson, 2022-) portray corporations as a capitalist structure that is simultaneously formative, dehumanizing, and antagonistic. Rather than reducing capitalism to an external structure, these series also present it as an inte...

Complete genome sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis variant bovis strain ushi10, a tuberculin production strain used in Japan

ABSTRACT Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis variant bovis strain ushi10, a production strain used to manufacture tuberculin for bovine tuberculosis diagnosis in Japan. This genomic resource supports the consistent production and standardiza...

PROSPECTS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW MECHANISMS OF TRANSBOUNDARY INSTITUTIONAL COOPERATION IN THE FIELD OF WASTE RECYCLING IN CENTRAL ASIA

This study aims to develop a scientifically grounded model to support the cross-border integration of national waste recycling infrastructures into a unified, regionally coordinated circular economy framework in advance of the 2026 Regional Environmental Summit. A mixed-methods r...

Psychometric Evaluation of the Serbian MacNew Heart Disease Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire Before and After Elective Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Background/Objectives: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the MacNew Heart Disease Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire (MacNew HRQL) in patients who underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Serbia. Methods: Recruitment of participants was orga...

Midwives’ awareness of climate change and sustainability

This cross-sectional study examined climate-change awareness and sustainability consciousness among midwives and the association between the two scale scores. From September to October 2023, 100 midwives working in maternity units at two hospitals in southern Türkiye completed an...

Channel–Response Araki–BKM Information Flow: Exact Hilbert-Space Decomposition, Coarse-Graining Chain Rules, and Interaction-Sector Specializations

We extend a finite-dimensional Araki–Bogoliubov–Kubo–Mori (BKM) responsecost construction to an arbitrary real Hilbert response space, normal quantumcoarse-graining channels between von Neumann algebras, composable channel chains, and continuous coarse-graining flows. The respons...

Phi-Hierarchical Spectral Encoding in E8 Root Vector Resonance Bands — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240-root E8 structure naturally encodes a phi-scaled spectral hierarchy where harmonic overtones of the 132Hz base frequency (132 × φⁿ) partition the root vector space into triply-exclusive resonance bands corresponding to the 8-fold Cartan subalgebra and 232 root excitations...

Starter Culture Rotation for Bacteriophage Control in Dairy Production

Bacteriophages remain a major cause of fermentation failures in cheese and fermented dairy production. No starter culture, even those with high phage resistance, can be used indefinitely due to the evolutionary plasticity of viruses. Phage monitoring (such as qPCR or the Delvo®Ph...

Pavlovian Approaches to Preventing Impulsive Choice: Envisioning an Ideal School-Based Prevention Program

Abstract Impulsive choice—preference for a smaller-sooner over a larger-later reward—is a transdiagnostic risk factor for behaviors that harm human health. Preventing a temporally extended pattern of impulsive choice should be a translational research priority. No existing interv...

MK v K GmbH (C-65/23): No loophole for employees’ data protection under Article 88 of the GDPR

This paper analyses the CJEU judgment of MK v K GmbH (C-65/23) on the interpretation of Article 88 of the GDPR, which governs data processing in the context of employment. This ruling has clarified the interplay between Article 88 and the general principles of the GDPR, reaffirmi...

Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) are associated with distinct clinical phenotypes two years after SARS-CoV-2 infection: A data-driven approach

It is important to determine whether the persistent cognitive and fatigue complaints, as part of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), are associated with underlying patterns and specific symptoms clusters. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate symptom clus...

Public transport for people with hearing impairment: A scoping review

Introduction Mobility is an important aspect of daily life, yet people with disabilities often encounter barriers when using public transport. In this paper, we reviewed the literature on accessibility in public transport for passengers with hearing impairment and identified seve...
