Evaluating mental health and psychosocial support outcomes of the Self-Efficacy and Knowledge (SEEK) community-based randomized controlled trial in lebanon during active conflict

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background:</bold> Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) affected by forced displacement are at high risk of poorer mental health and psychosocial wellbeing due to intersecting stressors. In humanitarian contexts like Lebanon, mental health challen...

CS-SHRED: enhancing SHRED for robust recovery of spatiotemporal dynamics

Abstract We present CS-SHRED, a novel deep learning architecture that integrates compressed sensing (CS) into a shallow recurrent decoder (SHRED) to reconstruct spatiotemporal dynamics from incomplete, compressed or corrupted data. Our approach introduces two key innovations. Fir...

A Born structure on the tangent bundle of a Hessian manifold

Abstract The Hessian structure is a geometric structure consisting of a pair $$(\nabla ,g)$$ ( ∇ , g ) of an affine connection $$\nabla $$ ∇ and a Riemannian metric g satisfying certain compatibility conditions. In information geometry, it is also known as a dually flat structure...

Tunable magnon polaritons via Eddy-current-induced dissipation in metallic-banded YIG spheres

Abstract We demonstrate a robust method to dynamically tune magnon dissipation in yttrium iron garnet spheres by equipping a metallic band around the sphere’s equator, enabling precise control over magnon-photon coupling states. The collective magnetization dynamics in the YIG sp...

Social and economic consequences of prestige and dominance in rural Colombian social networks

Abstract Social status regulates influence and well-being in most social animals. In humans, social status can be attained via distinct routes: prestige (tracking the ability of individuals to confer benefits) and dominance (tracking the ability of individuals to inflict costs)....

Obesity and sarcopenia affect the metabolite profiles of pet dogs

ABSTRACT Overweight and reduced muscle mass significantly affect canine health, yet their metabolic implications in dogs require further investigation. This study aimed to characterize metabolic alterations associated with overweight, obesity, and reduced muscle mass in dogs. An...

The essential regularity of singular connections in geometry

Abstract This paper, a culmination of the authors’ theory of the Regularity Transformation (RT-)equations, accomplishes the following: (i) We discover there is a true (geometric) regularity associated with every affine connection, its essential regularity, the highest possible re...

Forecasting the trend of entrepreneurship research using time series analysis

Entrepreneurship research, typically based on providing solutions for problems and facing challenges in this field. For this purpose, 30948 articles indexed over the last 45 years in 55 international journals were analyzed. Then, 320 keywords and 97 country names were extracted f...

Complexity Classes for Online Problems with and without Predictions

Abstract With the developments in machine learning, there has been a surge in interest and results focused on algorithms utilizing predictions, not least in online algorithms where most new results incorporate the prediction aspect for concrete online problems. While the structur...

Getting the story straight: common misconceptions around volcanoes and eruptions with case studies of recent events

Abstract The ability to rapidly disseminate scientific knowledge across the world has never been greater. This is paralleled by the ability of rumors to spread equally far and fast. Popular misconceptions can take root and, without correction, take on the appearance of facts. Com...

Fast-Forward: Automatic Assignment and Assessment of Bonded Parameters for the Martini Force Field

Abstract Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of bio- and macromolecular systems offer a method of accessing otherwise unobtainable time and length scales, compared to atomistic simulation techniques. However, a limiting step is often the generation and validation of the...

Multimodal brain cell atlas across the adult macaque lifespan

High-throughput single-cell omics of non-human primate brain tissue provide a powerful platform to investigate the molecular basis of brain aging. Here, we present a comprehensive transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility atlas of 2,955,873 cells from eight brain regions of 23 f...

Attapulgite Nanocomposites for Cartilage and Osteochondral Repair: Material–Tissue Matching, Evidence-Graded Mechanisms and Translation

Attapulgite (ATP; palygorskite) is a fibrous magnesium aluminum silicate that can reinforce hydrated polymer networks, provide a surface for molecular interactions, and participate in formulation-dependent ion or drug delivery. Although ATP has been studied most extensively in bo...

CAT'S THEORY PRESENTS: The Fortress Holds: A Systematic Defense of the Triadic Cosmological Framework Against Standard-Model Objections Across Six Physical Domains

This paper subjects the Triadic Cosmological Framework — a flat Clifford torus embedded in S³, immersed in a superfluid medium with a radially symmetric density gradient — to systematic adversarial testing across six physical domains: atmospheric optics, gravitational mechanics,...

The Gatekeeper: A Cybernetic architecture for Socially Calibrated Behaviour

Social dependency changes the control problem faced by an animal. In a complex social environment, the consequences of action depend not only on material conditions and immediate motivation but also on the organism's changing position within a relational organisation generated by...

Impact of design, size, and a combined routine on the plaque removal efficacy of manual, hybrid (powered-mode) and interdental toothbrushes: a robot-assisted in vitro study

Abstract Background Regular and effective toothbrushing with interdental cleaning is key to maintaining oral health. Using an in vitro testing system, we compared the plaque removal efficacy of manual toothbrushes with different bristle designs, different-sized interdental brushe...

Triggered Fragmentation in Self-Gravitating Protoplanetary discs: Cooling, Mass Movement and Instability

Abstract Previous three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of gravitationally unstable discs have shown that the formation of a single fragment can trigger the formation of subsequent fragments. This behaviour was attributed to changes in the surface mass density caused by th...

Adaptation of the molecular bacterial load assay for real-time quantification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the clinical routine laboratory

ABSTRACT Rapid quantification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is important for monitoring bacterial load during treatment and in clinical studies. The molecular bacterial load assay detecting Mtb 16S ribosomal RNA (TB-MBLA) can quantify mycobacterial load within hours. As the...

MCL‐1 inhibition triggers a largely reversible cardiac stress signature in a humanised mouse model

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Myeloid cell leukaemia-1 (MCL-1) is an essential anti-apoptotic protein and a promising therapeutic target in oncology. Early clinical studies of MCL-1 inhibitors reported unexpected elevations in cardiac troponin, raising concerns about potential cardioto...
