Digital Intermediation in Skilled Health Worker Migration: Platforms for Peer Support and Brokerage
Digital infrastructures have become important elements of the sociotechnical assemblages that mediate contemporary migration trajectories. Although digital platforms, tools and networks can be used to surveil and control migrants, they also afford migrants possibilities to self-o...

E8 Resonant Phase‑Lattice for Cohesive Entanglement Network — E8 Intelligence Research
We propose the E8 Resonant Phase‑Lattice (E8‑RPL), a periodic phase‑space scaffold that stitches the 240 E8 root vectors into a multilayered toroidal net resonant at the 132 Hz phi‑harmonic. By aligning the phi‑torsion waveguide modes with the vacuum braid topology, each lattice...

Metalogical Foundation of the Spatial Architecture and Ambient Universe (SAA)
We outlines the metalogical foundations of the Spatial Architecture and Ambient Universe (SAA). By operating within an Intuitionistic Topos and adhering to Constructive Mathematics, the SAA formally rejects the Law of Excluded Middle and the Axiom of Choice. We defines the spatia...

Prediction of Prion Proteins in E. coli Based on Bimodal Sequence Characteristics
ABSTRACT Prions are infectious proteins that bear misfolded conformations capable of converting folded states into misfolded aggregates under physiologically relevant conditions. In mammals, prions cause deadly maladies including Creutzfeldt‐Jakob and chronic wasting disease. To...

Should You Buy That Agricultural AI? Eight Questions Before You Sign
Artificial intelligence is marketed to farms as broadly transformative; however, adoption rates are uneven, and many promising pilot projects fail to become profitable. We argue that the deciding factor is rarely the algorithm but the fit between the tool and the conditions of it...
