Emotion Regulation Profiles Associate with Individual Differences in Mental Health Outcomes During a Global Pandemic Context

Emotion regulation (ER) is central to mental health and well-being. Yet, we have limited understanding of how individuals regulate their emotions during context that is highly uncertain and uncontrollable - a global pandemic. Moreover, despite people's use of a variety of ER stra...

An Experience-Sampling Approach to Examining Cortisol and Testosterone Profiles in Bipolar and Depressive Mood Disorders

Emotion dysregulation is a core component of bipolar disorder (BD). However, there is a critical gap concerning the measurement of emotion-relevant neuroendocrine processes in this population. The present investigation examined neuroendocrine profiles (i.e., cortisol and testoste...

Wong–Zakai approximations with convergence rate for stochastic differential equations with regime switching

We construct Wong--Zakai approximations of time--inhomogeneous stochastic differential equations with regime switching (RSSDEs), and provide a convergence rate. %Given a family of finite-variation processes $\{\mathcal{F}^λ\}_{λ\ge 0}$ that converge strongly to a standard Brownia...

Factors Influencing The First and Second Peak of COVID-19 Global Cases: A Survival Analysis

Abstract Objectives The number of reported cases continues to increase everyday, since the first case of COVID-19 was detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Using the global COVID-19 data of 188 countries extracted from the Our World in Data between January 22, 2020–January 1...

Management of Tuberculosis in Taiwan:A Look into the Shared Responsibilities of the Government, General Public and Medical Students

Tuberculosis (TB) is a deadly infectious disease worldwide due to its high incidenceand mortality rate. Its impact on Taiwan is no exception. This paper aims to examineeffectiveness of national policies on TB control, assess public awareness, and evaluatewhether involvement of me...

OTOCEPHALY - A CASE REPORT

Otocephaly is a condition characterized by aplasia or hypoplasia of mandible, a small oral fissure and low lying ears at the level of neck usually meeting in the midline. this case report is about a male child with otocephaly,who was unable to survive for long after birth.. The r...

The Characteristic of Tuberculosis Patients in Jakarta 2011 Based on Nutritional Status, History of Immunodeficiencies, History of Tuberculosis, and Source of Infection at Home

Our study’s aim is to determine the Tuberculosis (TB) infection source in Jakarta to decrease its prevalence. This cross sectional study lasted 4 months involving 109 TB patients. Subjectsshould be diagnosed as primary lung TB patients. Questionnaire was used as this study’s tool...

Quantum Chaos of Arithmetic Origin: Deterministic L-function Jacobi Hamiltonians exhibit GUE/GOE level statistics without random disorder or classical chaos

We construct explicit one-dimensional tight-binding (Jacobi) Hamiltonians whose recurrence coefficients are generated purely from the arithmetic of completed L-functions (Riemann zeta, Dirichlet beta, Ramanujan delta), via circle sampling, Hausdorff moments of the log-derivative...

Quantum Chaos of Arithmetic Origin: Deterministic L-function Jacobi Hamiltonians exhibit GUE/GOE level statistics without random disorder or classical chaos (v2)

We construct explicit one-dimensional tight-binding (Jacobi) Hamiltonians whose recurrence coefficients are generated purely from the arithmetic of completed L-functions (Riemann zeta, Dirichlet beta, Ramanujan delta), via circle sampling, moments of the log-derivative Taylor coe...

Nine Waters, One Drought: A Fact-Audited Multi-Agent Account of the European Drought of August 2026

We report a multi-agent account of the European drought of August 2026, produced by nine place-based agents, each bound to a distinct water body or biome: a tidal estuary (the Scheldt), a rain-fed river (the Meuse), a large peri-alpine lake and its river (Lac Léman and the Rhône)...

Angular Monotonicity of Completed Dirichlet L-Functions via the Three-Term Zeta Decomposition: A Proof of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for Non-Principal Characters

We prove the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) for all non-principal Dirichlet L-functions L(s,chi) with conductor q >= 3. The proof proceeds by combining the three-term polylogarithm decomposition of the Riemann zeta function with the completed L-function Lambda(s,chi) to for...

Designing group music improvisation systems: A decade of design research in education

In this article we discuss Designing Group Music Improvisation Systems (DGMIS), a design education activity that investigates the contemporary challenge design is facing when we go beyond single-user single-artefact interactions. DGMIS examines how to design for systems of interd...

AN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GROUND STRUCTURE METHOD CONSIDERING BUCKLING AND NODAL INSTABILITIES

The ground structure method is used to find an optimal solution for the layout optimization problem. The problem domain is discretized with a union of highly connected members, which is called a ground structure. The objective typically is to minimize the total volume of material...

Evaluating the Role of Social Interactions and Shame in Self-Injurious Behaviors using Ecological Momentary Assessment: Feasibility and Preliminary Evaluation

Self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) are increasingly prevalent in the United States. The transactional model of emotion dysregulation provides a framework for understanding the development and maintenance of these and related behaviors and suggests that shame and self-i...

The challenges affecting the widespread uptake of responsible design by commercial design consultancies in UK and Ireland

This paper recognizes and responds to a prior lack of understanding regarding the factors that shape designer’s opportunities to engage in more responsible design and identifies a myriad of complex elements at play. Through in-depth qualitative research with 27 design consultants...

The Multiscale Distributed Consciousness Hypothesis: Temporal-Scale Divergence as a Potential Blind Spot in the Detection of Consciousness

Version 1.0 of the Multiscale Distributed Consciousness Hypothesis (MDCH). This technical note proposes that the scientific detection of higher-order biological information processing may be affected by a mismatch between the temporal and spatial integration scales of a candidate...

Multicausal Psychobiological Interaction Hypothesis

Cancer comprises a heterogeneous group of multifactorial diseases that emerge through the accumu lation and selection of cellular alterations within an organism simultaneously influenced by genetic, environmental, metabolic, immune, endocrine, and behavioral factors. The present...

Multimode structured neutron beams

The experimental realization of neutron orbital angular momentum (OAM) states and neutron Airy beams has opened new avenues for structured neutron science in both materials characterization and fundamental physics. These additional degrees of freedom in scattering experiments ena...

A new method for estimating forest aboveground biomass by integrating sUAV and satellite remote sensing

Aboveground biomass (AGB) is a fundamental indicator for assessing forest ecosystem productivity, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration levels. In AGB remote sensing estimation, traditional methods face challenges such as the limited number of plots and issues with matching plot...

Interprofessional identity development: awareness as the beginning of change

Abstract Background: Developing an interprofessional identity (IPI) generates an intrinsic motivation for interprofessional collaboration owing to pro-diversity beliefs that mitigate identity threat within dynamic teams. However, personal experiences and contextual changes such a...
