The Pali Canon as Protopsychology: Systematic Comparison of Buddhist Practice and Modern Psychological Evidence

The paper is Article 1 of the Pali-Psycho series. It focuses on the empirical and clinical comparison axis: mindfulness, breath meditation, compassion cultivation, absorption states, affect labeling, default-mode-network findings, and selected positive-psychology parallels are tr...

A micronova burst in the intermediate polar IGR J17014-4306

Abstract We report the detection of a short optical burst in TESS data of IGR J17014-4306, the eclipsing intermediate polar with the longest known orbital period. The burst lasts 1.56 d and shows multiple peaks, reaching (9.3 ± 0.2) × 1033 erg s−1, and releases a total energy of...

Meningitis vaccination campaign in the context of COVID-19 in Cameroon

Abstract Objective The study aimed to describe the challenges, best practices, and lessons learned during meningitis vaccination campaigns conducted in the context of COVID-19 in Cameroon in 2020. Results During the prevention campaigns, 3,460 individuals were selected. All were...

Earliest simultaneous multi-color optical observations of GRB 230328B: from 41 seconds to the host-galaxy identification

Abstract We present a multiwavelength study of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 230328B, combining prompt γ-ray observations with exceptionally early simultaneous optical photometry and extensive X-ray, radio, and host-galaxy follow-up. NUTTELA-TAO began simultaneous g′r′i′...

The Physics of Learning: How Race-Architecture Constraints Explain What We Know About Teaching, Communication, and Understanding

Three of learning science's most robust traditions, cognitive load theory, desirable difficulties, and psychological safety, are each empirically excellent and mechanically thin. This paper argues they are local consequences of one substrate-universal constraint, bounded-capacity...

From Top to Bottom: Manufacturing Process‐Context Aware Resolution of Energy Device Electrodes Through a 3D Diffusion Generative Model

ABSTRACT Optimization of electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices often depends on the electrode microstructure properties, of which its 3D representation provides the most complete link between manufacturing process and device performance. Deep generative models can...

Reactions of Terminal Olefins With Iron Carbenes

ABSTRACT The application of sustainable, earth‐abundant iron complexes to the olefin metathesis of terminal olefins remains a formidable challenge due to competitive, metathesis‐divergent deactivation pathways. Herein, we investigate the reactivity of pincer‐supported iron carben...

100 m resolution projection of future urban heat Island of a tropical Coastal City

Cities face rising heat exposure due to climate change, yet the extent to which urban heat islands (UHI) intensify relative to overall warming remains unclear. This study examines Singapore, a highly urbanised tropical coastal city, focusing on near-surface air temperature (Tas)...

Hidden diversity and complex transmission networks of Taeniidae and Dipylidiidae tapeworms in the Western Balkans revealed by mitochondrial markers

Abstract Background Cestodes of the families Taeniidae and Dipylidiidae constitute a neglected but epidemiologically important group of parasites, including species of veterinary and zoonotic relevance. In the Western Balkans, their molecular epidemiology, host range, and transmi...

Automated alveolar bone and teeth 3D segmentation on the cone-beam computed tomographic images using the convolutional neural network

Abstract Background Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used in dental diagnosis and implant planning. The accurate segmentation of teeth and alveolar bone from CBCT images is essential for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. In this study, we propose two distinc...

Machine learning approaches for optimizing bioprinting processes: A comprehensive review

Bioprinting has emerged as a transformative technology for fabricating complex biological constructs with applications in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery. However, the bioprinting process involves highly nonlinear, multiscale, and interdependent param...

Primary Care Providers Journey with OSA Care, Challenges and Strategies: A Qualitative Study

Abstract Purpose Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a treatable chronic condition associated with significant health and societal consequences. Primary care providers (PCPs) often manage OSA with support from sleep specialists but face challenges navigating a complex system of care...

Physical activity, diet, sleep, and sedentary behavior in relation to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases: a latent class analysis approach

Abstract OBJECTIVES : This study aimed to identify patterns of physical activity, diet, sleep status, and Sedentary Behavior in the Dehgolan Cohort using latent class analysis. It also sought to examine the relationship between these identified classes and cardiovascular diseases...

Phase Zero Hypothesis — The Bull in the Sky: Meskhetyu and the Shemsu Hor Path from Nabta Playa to the Giza Plateau

The First Trilogy established a coherent, evidence-grounded account of Saharan pastoralist migration to the Nile Valley during the collapse of the African Humid Period (~5,500 BCE), the transmission of the Zep Tepi cosmological system via the Highland Corridor Refugia, and the in...

Paradox as Structural Feature: A Coupling-Dynamics Account of Self-Referential Systems

This paper argues that paradoxes of self-reference — paradigmatically the liar and Russell's paradox — are the limit case of a coupling-dynamics mechanism that operates throughout the coupling spectrum between assessment channels and the systems they assess. Under this account, p...

Substituted Coupling: A Coupling-Architecture Mechanism in the 2026 Energy and Sanctions Crises

Coupling architectures — the infrastructural, contractual, and institutional arrangements through which a polity receives critical external flows — are not neutral conduits. They are attack surfaces. This paper formalises one case of the general mechanism: when a polity reduces d...

Acute Exposure to Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) During Cardiomyogenesis disrupts Transcriptional and Electrophysiological Profiles in Differentiated Myocytes

Abstract Exposure to per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are linked to various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), but effects of developmental PFAS exposures on the human heart remain unclear. Using human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM), the obj...

Affected others’ perspectives on the burden, drivers, and prevention of gambling-related harms: a qualitative study

Abstract Background Gambling is increasingly recognised as a public health concern, with harms extending beyond individuals who gamble to families and communities. However, young people and adults affected by others’ gambling remain under-represented in research on harm preventio...

Remote SAMsing: From segment anything to segment everything

The Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) produces high-quality zero-shot segmentation of natural images, but two obstacles block its use at scale for remote sensing. First, the automatic mask generator trades coverage against quality: strict acceptance thresholds leave most of a scene...

Negative Spectrum of Non-local Operators with Periodic Potential

The paper deals with spectral analysis of non-local operators arising in population dynamics models. We consider negative periodic perturbations of non-local operators of the convolution type. Such operators describe evolutions of the first correlation function in the stochastic...
