Making hidden biases visible in population location data from mobile phones

Abstract Traditional sources of population data, such as censuses and surveys, are costly, infrequent and often unavailable in crisis-affected regions. Mobile phone data (MPD) offer near-real-time, high-resolution insights into population distribution, but their utility is underm...

Assessing the change in diet from baseline to first re-examination – results from the German National Cohort (NAKO)

Abstract Background In the NAKO cohort, dietary assessment instruments were applied at baseline (2014–2019) and during the first re-examination (2019–2024). The aim was to assess and describe changes in dietary intake over time, and to evaluate the possible consequences of poolin...

Realism Drift: A Geometric Framework for Expert Misrepresentation and Franchise Absurdity

This work presents a formal geometric analysis of realism collapse in cinematic narratives. It introduces the concept of realism drift, a phenomenon arising when behaviour from a high‑dimensional expert manifold is projected into a low‑dimensional movie manifold, destroying essen...

Adaptive behavioural strategies promote species persistence in niche-constrained ecological communities

Abstract Species persistence in ecosystems results from the interplay between ecological interactions and behavioural strategies. Classical niche theory explains how resource overlap determines the strength of interactions, while evolutionary game theory (EGT) describes how coope...

“Controlled by the game”– interviews on why regaining control over gaming is difficult for patients with gaming disorder

Abstract Background Research on gaming disorder has grown substantially over the past two decades, but few studies have used qualitative methods. The focus on quantitative studies risks overlooking nuances of gaming disorder. For treatment purposes it is important to have knowled...

Analysis of mortality risk factors and a nomogram prediction model for 81 cases of Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis

Abstract Objective To investigate the factors influencing mortality in children with Epstein-Barr virus-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and develops a predictive model to assess mortality risk. Methods We retrospectively analyze the clinical data and laboratory resu...

Intraoperative Adverse Events in Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (RAMIE)

Objective: Assess the incidence and management of intraoperative adverse events (IAEs) during robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) and evaluate their impact on postoperative outcomes. Background: IAEs are an inherent component of surgical practice and owing to...

Congenital Tuberculosis in a 2-Week-Old Neonate With an Asymptomatic Mother

Congenital tuberculosis (TB) is a rare condition, and diagnosis is challenging due to its nonspecific clinical presentation and rarity. It has a very high case-fatality rate (estimated at 30%–50%). We report the case of a 2-week-old male neonate, born from an uncomplicated diamni...

Humidity-Enhanced Effects of Sputtered Au Nanoparticles on the Ethanol Sensing Performance of Thermally Evaporated ZnO Nanowires

Abstract Mitigating the adverse effects of humidity on the sensing performance of one-dimensional (1D) metal oxide semiconductors has been a key challenge in gas sensor development. This study investigated the humidity-enhanced effect of gold (Au) nanoparticles on the ethanol res...

The Counterfeit Shell and the Protected Core: A Comparative Gnostic Analysis of Occultation, Baldr's Seclusion, and the Sovereign Unifier

This article deconstructs the structural remnants of global eschatological traditions by bypassing contemporary materialist folklore, literalist historical containers, and medieval euhemerism. By deploying a rigorous cross-cultural, esoteric framework (Irfan), we demonstrate that...

Humoral immunity in cancer

Abstract Humoral immunity driven by B cells, plasma cells, and antibodies has emerged as a major determinant of tumor control, immune escape, and therapeutic response. Across solid tumors, mature tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) with high endothelial venules, follicular dendrit...

A Zoo of Illusions Turning into a Circus

This review is not an assessment of ideas. It is an autopsy of their origin. The text “Who Observes Whom in the Human Zoo?” presents itself as a philosophical study of the interaction between humans and large language models, but its structure betrays it: unnatural balance, absen...
