EVALUATION OF GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF Clarias gariepinus POST FINGERLINGS FED Leucaena leucocephala LEAF MEAL AS REPLACEMENT FOR FISHMEAL

Fish meal (FM) which is the main source of animal protein in fish feed has continued to challenge the aquaculture industry due to its rising high cost. Therefore, this study evaluated the potentials of replacement of fishmeal with Leucaena leucocephala leaf meal at varying inclus...

STEM teacher leadership profiles: Connecting innovative teaching and leadership role enactment

This study identified teacher leadership profiles among 229 mathematics and science teachers and examined how these profiles relate to innovative teaching and role enactment. Using k -means clustering, four distinct profiles emerged: High-Engaged Leaders ( n = 25) showed consiste...

Effects of testosterone on exercise capacity in postmenopausal women with stage B heart failure

Objective Asymptomatic individuals with stage B heart failure (HF) often have reduced exercise capacity. As exogenous testosterone may have favorable skeletal muscle and vasculature effects, this study investigated whether transdermal testosterone improves exercise capacity in wo...

Computational Proof Suite IV: Verification of Atomic Equilibrium and Molecular Ledgers (Laws VIII & IX)

This document presents the formal mathematical and computational proof suite for Statutes VIII and IX of the Propulsive Matter Paradigm, demonstrating that electronic orbital stability and chemical bonding dynamics are governed by scale-invariant sub-atomic capital ledgers. Here...

H-HQNN: Hybrid quantum-classical neural network with feature selection by heuristics to predict heart failure

Cardiovascular diseases are the most dominant cause of mortality across the entire world, claiming 17.9 million lives every year. According to recent trends, the mortality rate as a result of heart failure continues to increase particularly in low- and middle-income areas which m...

EgoDatasets: A Dataset-Centric Survey and Taxonomy for Egocentric Vision and Action Anticipation

Egocentric vision has become a central paradigm for studying human behaviour, interaction, and intent from a first-person perspective, supporting tasks that range from action recognition and temporal segmentation to future-action anticipation. Progress in this area depends strong...

Relational Consensus and Gendered Differentiation: The Ranked Structure of Ideal Partner Preferences Among Chinese University Students

Relational qualities are highly valued in ideal partners, while women and men differ in the weight they attach to resources and physical attractiveness. It remains unclear whether these patterns reflect competing ideals or different emphases within a broadly shared preference hie...

“Dignity worth billions”: gender reversal, valuation games, and normative stress testing in digital China

Why does asking for a marriage payment read as a woman’s greed but a man’s humiliation? In early 2026, a social media event forced this question to its breaking point. A user described a highly desirable man and asked what bride price would persuade him to enter ruzhui (入赘), th...

The First Table of Atomic Site Coordinates of the Ih Quasicrystal

1. Introduction The mathematical derivation and classification of the 230 space groups were completed and perfected independently by Fedorov, Schoenflies, and Barlow before the twentieth century [1]. It was only later, in 1912, that Laue’s discovery of X-ray diffraction initiated...

Cross-Resolution Fusion of AlphaEarth Foundations Embeddings and GF-1 Imagery via Semantic Anchor-Graph Enhancement for Litchi Orchard Extraction

Litchi is an important cash crop in China. Accurate litchi orchard extraction is crucial for agricultural management and economic development. However, litchi orchards are spectrally very similar to evergreen broad-leaved forests and are poorly resolved in medium- and low-resolut...

Schizophrenia research in 2026: report from the annual meeting of the Schizophrenia International Research Society

Abstract SIRS 2026, held under the theme “Schizophrenia Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence,” brought together researchers, clinicians, and persons with lived experience to take stock of a field whose tools for measuring, predicting, and intervening in psychosis have e...

Artificial Intelligence Anxiety and Employee Engagement in the Indian Real Estate Sector

Survey Integration Note The survey provides organization-specific evidence from the participating real-estate organization employees concerning health and well-being, workplace safety, manager and team support, psychological safety, belonging, fairness, meaningful work, learning,...

CBCT assessment of inferior alveolar canal and surrounding bone morphology in long and short hemimandibles across mandibular asymmetry severity

This study aimed to compare inferior alveolar canal and surrounding bone morphology between the long and short hemimandibles at three anatomical levels relevant to bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) and to determine whether bilateral morphometric differences vary according...

Suppressing Spurious Causal Chains in Alarm-Triggered Alarm Phenomena via Liang–Kleeman Information Flow–Max-Min Hill-Climbing Graphs

Due to coupling in industrial control structures, alarm variables may exhibit interconnected variations, leading to the “alarm-triggered alarm” phenomenon, which can contribute to alarm flooding. Causal inference methods can characterize dependencies among alarm variables and hel...

Prenatal echocardiographic predictors that increase the risk of urgent Ballon Atrial Septostomy (BAS) after birth in patients with Dextro-Transposition of the Great Arteries- Retrospective Study from Tertiary Center Lodz- Poland ICZMP (2014-2024)

Objective: Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) is a critical congenital heart disease (CHD) requiring prompt postnatal intervention, primarily: a line for Prostin infusion, hospitalization in an Intensive Care Unit, and in some cases, Balloon Atrial Septostomy (BAS...

Female CEOs and the internationalization of Vietnamese SMEs: how important is CEO experience?

Purpose Despite growing calls for gender diversity in corporate governance, empirical evidence on how female CEOs shape strategic decisions such as international expansion remains inconclusive. This research aims to analyze the influence of female CEOs on the degree of internatio...

From listening to doing: how project-based learning shapes academic emotions in lower-secondary mathematics

Project-based learning (PjBL) is widely promoted as a student-centred approach, yet limited evidence explains how it shapes discrete academic emotions in lower-secondary mathematics. This study examined Grade 7 students’ mathematics-related academic emotions and unit-level mathem...

Association of the dietary carbohydrate-to-fiber ratio with prevalent rheumatoid arthritis in NHANES 2009–2018

This study examines the cross-sectional association between the carbohydrate-to-fiber ratio (CFR), an indicator of carbohydrate quality, and prevalent rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The exposure was overall CFR, calcula...

An open-source, physics-aware, data-driven tool for automated particle image velocimetry post-processing

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a powerful diagnostic tool for analyzing the properties and structures of laminar and turbulent flows. Modern PIV systems provide high spatial and temporal resolution measurements, often generating hundreds of gigabytes of raw data. Before thes...

Climate-Risk-Aware Offshore Wind Farm Layout Optimization Under Non-Stationary Wind Resources

Offshore wind farms are typically optimized using a stationary historical wind rose, although development and operation span decades. This study presents CRA-WLO, a scenario-based screening framework coupling a piecewise-smooth engineering wake model, four stylized climate-resour...
