Short- and long-term influences on voting: the case of the 2025 Australian election

The 2025 Australian federal election, although widely expected to result in a hung parliament, was a resounding win for the Australian Labor Party. What explained this result? Was the election result driven by long-term shifts in Australian electoral behaviour, by short-term camp...

Intrathyroidal thymic carcinoma with delayed cervical lymph node metastasis 5 years postoperatively: a case report with focus on ultrasonic features

Intrathyroidal thymic carcinoma (ITTC) is a rare thyroid malignancy with nonspecific imaging features. The ultrasonographic characteristics of its metastatic lymph nodes, particularly in cases of delayed metastasis, remain poorly understood. To report a case of ITTC with cervical...

Attitudes towards artificial intelligence among students and faculty staff at Kuwait University's Health Science Centre: A cross-sectional study

BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into healthcare and health-professions education. While it may improve efficiency, decision support, and learning, it also raises concerns about workforce impacts, safety, privacy, and accountability. Gulf-region e...

What Gets Your Best Employees to Stay

The most valuable employees are also the most likely to leave — and companies too often respond with one-off counteroffers or bidding wars they can’t win. Drawing on research across multiple disciplines, the authors present a systematic architecture of employee mobility barriers,...

AI Reconstructs Antikythera Mechanism's Missing Half, Revealing Advanced Planetary Calculations — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Antikythera mechanism's missing half reconstructed via AI reveals advanced planetary cycle calculations, including synodic periods and eclipse prediction using modular arithmetic and gear ratios. MATH: - Gear ratios encode Metonic cycle (19 years = 235 synodic months), S...

Citizenship status, heritage language use, and cultural attitudes

Abstract This paper examines the association between immigrants’ citizenship status, heritage language (HL) use, and attitudes towards cultural diversity. Using data from the 2019 Swiss Survey on Language, Religion, and Culture, we estimate linear probability models with a rich s...

This is a research registration documenting the predictions/analyses designated as prospective. The document also identifies analyses already undertaken. It describes measures of binary decision performance, including: accuracy measures, reaction time distribution measures and in...

Sharp Asymptotics for Abelian Covers of Groups with Bounded Noncommutativity

We determine the sharp exponential growth rate of the minimum number of abelian subgroups required to cover a group with bounded pairwise noncommutativity. Let ω(G) denote the largest size of a pairwise noncommuting subset of a group G, let a(G) be the least size of an abelian co...

Language, Trust, and the Architecture of Deception: A Framing Note for the Reputation Arbitrage Series

Language shapes mind, machines, and institutions. That single claim is the thesis running underneath the three-part Reputation Arbitrage series, though none of the three papers states it in these terms. Each paper was written to stand on its own, addressed to a different literatu...

Happiness at work and sales performance: evidence from sales representatives

Purpose This study aims to examine the relationship between multidimensional happiness at work and sales representatives’ performance in an insurance brokerage. It analyses the associations between engagement, job satisfaction and affective commitment, while testing the mediating...

Geothermal Geological Characteristics and Genetic Model of the Neogene Sandstone Geothermal Reservoirs in the Eastern Gushi Sag, Weihe Basin

The characterization of geothermal reservoirs and their genetic mechanisms is critical for understanding geothermal system evolution and evaluating geothermal resource potential. The eastern Gushi Sag of the Weihe Basin hosts three Neogene sandstone geothermal reservoirs, includi...

Menstruation as a National ‘Problem’: Japan’s Femtech Promotion and the Construction of the Self-Disciplined Worker

Femtech, or the technologies that help manage women’s well-being, have developed rapidly since the 2020s. Despite feminist concerns about these technologies, the Japanese government has been positioning femtech as a temporary solution for gender inequality in the workplace since...

A Privacy-Preserving Explainable Artificial Intelligence Hybrid Framework for Abnormal Network Traffic Identification and Intelligent Threat Detection

Abstract The rapid evolution of cyber threats, the widespread adoption of encrypted communications, and the increasing complexity of enterprise, cloud, edge, and Internet of Things (IoT) environments have exposed the limitations of conventional intrusion detection systems in accu...

The copulative hermeneutics of the veil: pornographizing the truth

This article explores Shannon Bell’s project of deploying the obscene, grotesque, and pornographic to dismantle totalitarian philosophical thought. Bell challenges the notion of ‘truth’ as a pure, noetic concept, reframing it as an authoritarian mechanism that suppresses bodily c...

A Tale of Two Analyses: A Dialogic Return

This article focuses on my experience in personal analysis, with a focus on my second analysis, when I was a young psychiatrist in Winnipeg, 1975–1979. A brief autobiographical report and account of my first analysis (1968–1970) provides important context for the direction I take...

Trust-Aware Enterprise Credit Risk Prediction via Variational Autoencoder in Supply Chain Finance

The growing complexity of transaction networks, dynamic enterprise interactions, and rising financial uncertainties in modern supply chains have made accurate credit risk assessment for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in supply chain finance (SCF) a critical priority. H...

Association between exposure to air pollution and age at natural menopause: The Study of Women's Health Across the Nation.

CONTEXT: Air pollution is a recognized risk factor for women's subfertility, yet its association with the timing of natural menopause remains understudied. OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between exposure to ambient air pollution and age at natural menopause (ANM). DESIGN...

Beyond the working curve: industrial perspectives on cross-platform process equivalence in vat photopolymerization

Context. The working curve introduced by Jacobs remains a widely used reference for characterising cure depth as a function of radiant exposure in vat photopolymerization. Recent interlaboratory studies have shown that conventionally measured working-curve parameters can vary mar...
