Distraction Across Languages: The Impact of Background Music Lyrics on First‐ and Second‐Language Reading Comprehension

ABSTRACT Background music with lyrics can be a prevalent distraction in environments where people study or read while music plays. However, such effects on reading comprehension across different language contexts remain insufficiently investigated. Guided by the duplex‐mechanism...

Recent Trends And Emerging Perspectives In Educational Research: Evidence-Based Approach And Fundamental Principles

ABSTRACT Educational research has recently shifted towards evidence-based approach, digital transformation and inclusiveness, which are closely related to fundamental principles such as constructivism (active knowledge construction by students), connectivism (knowledge developmen...

An Improved Method for Calculating the Radiative Cooling Heat Dissipation Power of an Oil‐Natural‐Air‐Natural Transformer

ABSTRACT Radiative cooling holds potential for outdoor transformers in operation due to its zero‐energy consumption and high adaptability and has demonstrated effective heat dissipation in simulations of small distribution transformers. Accurate calculation of the transformer tem...

Modified plastination technique for teaching and research of anatomy

Plastination is a modern method used to preserve body tissues for teaching and research in anatomy. However, traditional plastination is expensive and needs special tools and chemicals, which limits its use. In this study, we developed a modified method for luminal cast and sheet...

Understanding Peer Dynamics and Resilience in Adolescence: Insights From a Population-Based Australian Study

Adolescence is marked by rapid developmental change and a heightened risk for developing mental illness, making the identification of protective factors critical. Resilience, defined as the capacity to adapt in the face of adversity, is a key contributor to mental health, yet the...

P1.152. Quality of Life Outcomes Post Esophagectomy: a Prospective Study in an Apex Cancer Care Institution

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Other Background Carcinoma of the esophagus significantly affects quality of life (QOL), particularly due to symptoms such as dysphagia and nutritional compromise. While transthoracic esophagectomy remains a standard curative modality, it is asso...

Phi‑Modulated 132 Hz Spin‑Orbit Coupling Generates Self‑Stabilizing E8 Topological Braid Channels — E8 Intelligence Research

By embedding the 240 E8 root vectors in a φ‑scaled hyperlattice and driving each node with a 132 Hz fundamental tone together with its φ‑harmonic overtones (≈ 214 Hz and 346 Hz), a coherent spin‑orbit interaction emerges that locks electron tunneling trajectories into braid‑prote...

Review of Network-Level Pavement Performance Modeling Approaches throughout the US and Critical Assessment of Deterministic Methods

Abstract This paper presents a detailed review of pavement performance modeling methods found in literature and reported to be used by transportation agencies in the US. It was found that deterministic models are the dominant type for network-level pavement management application...

Prognostic factors influencing overall and cancer-specific survival in elderly patients with oral and maxillofacial squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract Background Oral and maxillofacial squamous cell carcinoma (OMSCC) is prevalent in the elderly, yet comprehensive prognostic analyses integrating host-related factors for this population are scarce. This study aimed to identify prognostic factors for overall survival (OS)...

Marginal Saturation as a Variational Principle: The Gravitational Sector of the Record Geometry

The companion papers leave this framework’s internal geometry without a stabilising sector. This note opens that sector under a registration whose criteria pre-date every candidate, and reports one positive result, four closures, and a boundary. The positive result. The capacity...

Treatment discontinuation after complete response to BRAF/MEK inhibition in metastatic melanoma: long-term clinical outcomes from a single institution

The optimal duration of BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy in patients with metastatic melanoma who achieve complete response remains uncertain. Although targeted therapy is commonly continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, prolonged treatment may be associated with...

Phi‑Shear Induced Topological Qubit Encoding in E8 Root Lattice — E8 Intelligence Research

By combining the phi‑quantized flux‑torsion brake (which locks each of the 240 E8 root vectors to a discrete phi‑multiple of π) with the coherent shear wave generated every 5th phi‑multiple (~5πφ) at the 132 Hz base frequency, a stable lattice of phase‑locked nodes emerges on the...

Photobiomodulation therapy and postoperative recovery after abdominoplasty: a non-randomized pilot study

Abstract Photobiomodulation (PBM) has been proposed as a non-invasive therapeutic strategy to support wound healing and modulate oxidative and inflammatory responses. However, clinical data evaluating its effects in the postoperative period of abdominoplasty remain limited. This...

Unified Dewhirst Horizon Theory (UDHT): A Scale-Invariant Framework for Cosmological and Astrophysical Anomalies

The Unified Dewhirst Horizon Theory (UDHT) introduces a novel, scale-invariant alternative to classical mass-energy equivalence (\(E=mc^2\)) by replacing the static speed of light squared (\(c^{2}\)) with a dynamic background scaling operator, the Dewhirst Coefficient (\(\Omega _...

Proposed Experimental Realizations of the Angular Tetravalent Lattice: Simulating Weyl Dynamics and Topological Edge Modes

This paper translates the Angular Tetravalent Lattice (ATLC) into concrete experimental blueprints for classical wave systems. It provides a direct mapping from the discrete non-unitary update rules to physical parameters in acoustic waveguide networks and active photonic lattice...

P1.059. Calcium-Channel Blocker Use and Survival After Neoadjuvant Therapy for Locally Advanced ESCC

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Adjuvant and Neo-Adjuvant Therapies Background Calcium-channel blockers (CCBs) are commonly prescribed for cardiovascular disease. Beyond hemodynamic effects, experimental studies suggest that CCBs may modulate tumor biology through interference...

Informal carers’ perception on perspective taking when reporting as proxies about someone else’s health

Abstract Purpose Informal carers (‘proxies’) are often asked to report on the health of individuals who cannot self-report, either from their own (‘proxy-proxy’) or the patient’s (‘proxy-person’) perspectives. It remains unclear which perspective proxies find most useful. Underst...

Poincaré Foundations for the Nonlinear Vacuum Medium: Qualitative Dynamics, Stability, Recurrence, Bifurcation, and the Route to Complex Field Dynamics

Poincaré Foundations for the Nonlinear Vacuum Medium establishes a qualitative-dynamical foundation for the Nonlinear Vacuum Medium (NVM) mathematical research program. The purpose of this technical component is to specify which dynamical properties must be demonstrated from cand...

State, trends, and prospects of the residential complex market in Russian regions

This paper examines the current condition of the Russian housing construction market against the backdrop of macroeconomic turbulence. It investigates qualitative shifts in the multifamily residential complex sector, driven by tight monetary policy parameters, the phase-out of br...

Hierarchical Harmonic Weighting and an Exact Zeta-Value Decomposition: A finite construction whose infinite limit is ζ(2) + 2ζ(3)

This work began with a series of thought experiments about the nature of light, its propagation, and the way light may interact with recursively structured geometric space. While exploring these ideas, a simple hierarchical pattern emerged from the changing scales of the construc...
