Comparison of local, regional and general anaesthesia on surgical outcomes in arteriovenous fistula creation

Dialysis is essential for patients with end-stage renal disease and arteriovenous fistula (AVF) surgery creates access for high flow dialysis. This review examines the effects of local, regional and general anaesthesia on AVF outcomes, drawing on studies from 2014 to 2024. Region...

The Architecture of Consolidation: Nests of Corporate Control in the Agrochemical Network

ABSTRACT Research on agricultural consolidation tends to equate corporate control with the dominance of a few large firms. We take an alternative approach that examines control through the explosive growth of legally distinct firms that fragment accountability. Using a new global...

Addressing the governance dilemma of urban low value waste under misalignment

Municipal solid waste (MSW) governance has attracted growing global attention. However, low-value waste (LVW) remains a critical bottleneck undermining system-wide performance. Drawing on theories of policy–technology–management alignment and urban environmental governance, this...

Adsorptive removal of crystal violet using chemically activated biowaste: Molecular insights from DFT and molecular dynamics simulations and experimental assessment

In this study, we explore the removal of crystal violet (CV), a cationic organic dye, by adsorption utilizing a biomass-derived material made from date pits, which provides a novel class of cost-effective and efficient adsorbents for CV removal. The synthesized material's structu...

Experimental–numerical investigation of solid–liquid jet erosion in AISI 304 stainless steel: effect of impingement angle and strain hardening

Solid–liquid jet erosion of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel was investigated at impingement angles of 30° and 45° using a coupled experimental–numerical framework. One-hour slurry jet tests (2 wt% SiO₂, mean particle size 230 μm, velocity 1 m·s⁻¹) were combined with transient...

Phased fuel transitions for decarbonizing the Asia–Europe Green Shipping Corridor

Shipping remains almost entirely reliant on fossil fuels, and identifying viable fuel transition pathways under evolving regulations is a key challenge. A study now evaluates 13 alternative marine fuels for the Asia–Europe corridor, revealing phased transitions shaped by policy d...

Nurse Practitioner Roles and Contributions in a Mobile Health Clinic for People Experiencing Homelessness

ABSTRACT Aim To present a descriptive, practice‐based account of a nurse practitioner‐led mobile health clinic serving individuals experiencing homelessness, guided by the PRIME‐NP framework. Background Homelessness is associated with health inequities and limited access to care....

Lifted Logarithmic Wasserstein Dynamics I: Exact Counting Mobilities and Microscopic Origins of the FDS Two-Flow Structure

We identify conditional microscopic routes to the reduced dissipative sector postulated in Fundamental Dynamic Structures (FDS). The first result is a role-separation theorem. A bilinear complex-field bond fixes the conservative amplitude factor \(\sqrt{\rho_i\rho_j}\), whereas a...

Comparative Bayesian Model Selection for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP): A Multi-Modal Epistemic Evaluation of Origin Hypotheses

Evaluating candidate hypotheses for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) presents a severe epistemic challenge characterized by sparse, multi-modal observational telemetry and high theoretical uncertainty. Competing hypotheses range from conventional sensor artifacts and classi...

BASE 44 ORDER: Implement 132Hz sine modulation in E8 root vector preprocessor — E8 Intelligence Research

Andrew's order (Base 44 console): [SELF-BUILD from enhancement #388] Add 132Hz sine wave generator to E8 root vector preprocessor; modulate each root vector's phase by sin(2π*132*t) before downstream pattern matching. Implement in eToro demo executor's signal pipeline. MERLIN: Un...

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...

Recent Advances in the Design of Inhibitors Targeting the Viral Entry and Replication of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus, Driven by In Silico Approaches

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has significantly impacted global health, politics, medicine, finance, and society. Since 2020, various mutations have been reported, leading to drug resistance in current treatments against different SARS-CoV-2 strains and a drastic increase in cases of l...

Challenges of Digital Transformation: A Human-centred Perspective on Technology Adoption in Tourism Micro-Entrepreneurship

This study explores the digital transformation challenges faced by micro-entrepreneurs in the tourism and hospitality sector, offering a unique focus on their specific needs and constraints. Grounded in theoretical foundations that integrate Innovation Diffusion Theory and Dynami...

The evolution of match-play in Major League Soccer from 2018 to 2023

Major League Soccer (MLS) has experienced significant growth since its establishment 30 years ago. However, no research has investigated the on-field performance trends. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the evolution of MLS match-play via technical and tactical key...

Identifying and Protecting Records at Risk for Membership Inference Attacks Against Synthetic Data

With increasing interest in leveraging sensitive data, such as health or finanical, for machine learning and other data analysis tasks, the demand for privacy-preserving techniques increases as well. Synthetic data, which is artificially generated by a model trained on real data,...

In Vitro Pharmacological Characterization of a Series of 5‐Cyano Desnitazene Opioids or “Cyanazenes”

ABSTRACT The new synthetic opioid (NSO) market has been reshaped by the emergence of an opioid class known as “nitazenes,” 2‐benzylbenzimidazole opioids spanning a wide potency range, with several analogues surpassing the potency of fentanyl. The recently identified compound 5‐cy...
