The desire for future childbearing and associated factors among final-year medical students in Türkiye: a cross-sectional study

Türkiye’s total fertility rate has remained below the replacement level since 2017, while the demanding nature of medical education and residency training, together with the additional responsibilities associated with the medical profession, may influence future physicians’ desir...

Evaluation of Alexithymia Level in Children With Cystic Fibrosis

The present study sought to determine the extent of alexithymia within the cystic fibrosis (CF) population and examine how it relates to both the severity of the illness and the effectiveness of patient disease management strategies. The study sample included adolescents aged 14...

HIOF·Dimensions as Illusions — Paper III: The Mirage of Force — Electromagnetism and the Emergence of Space

Holographic Information Ontological Framework - Dimensions as Illusions A five-paper series on the deconstruction of spatial dimension This is a short, non-technical companion to the five-paper HIOF-DaI series. It is written for readers with a background in theoretical physics, p...

Progression from carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales colonisation to subsequent clinical isolation in a Korean regional surveillance cohort: a retrospective cohort study

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) colonisation may progress to clinical infection. We aimed to determine the incidence of and risk factors for progression from CPE colonisation to clinical isolation in a regional surveillance cohort. From the 2024 mandatory CRE surve...

First-trimester aggregate index of systemic inflammation and adverse pregnancy outcomes in hospitalized women with threatened miscarriage: a single-center retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background Complete blood count-derived inflammatory indices have been associated with miscarriage, but the incremental value of the aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI) beyond established indices such as the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) remains un...

Establishing a Probabilistic Indigenous Survey Panel to Measure Māori Health, Wellbeing and Social Attitudes: Te Ao Mārama

Indigenous peoples experience a paradox in official statistics: deficit framing and surveillance through state data systems, alongside an urgent need for evidence to monitor inequities and advocate for policy change. In Aotearoa New Zealand, existing monitoring systems often fail...

Digital Narratives, Culinary Identity and Cultural Engagement: Mapping Food Cultures in Contemporary Literary Contexts

The presentation titled “Digital Narratives, Culinary Identity and Cultural Engagement: Mapping Food Cultures in Contemporary Literary Contexts” explored the culinary representation of food cultures in contemporary literature. It examined how digital narratives and literary texts...

Asymmetric Dual Sites Enable Spatially Resolved Biradical‐Mediated C–N Coupling for N,N‐Dimethylformamide Photoelectrosynthesis

ABSTRACT N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) is a quintessential industrial solvent and precursor, and its energy‐intensive, high‐temperature conventional synthesis necessitates the development of mild, sustainable biomass‐derived alternatives. Photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) offers a promis...

Cyber security in Online Shopping: Protecting Consumer Data in the Digital Marketplace

E-commerce's rapid expansion has completely changed the retail scene by providing customers with accessibility, variety, and convenience. However, worries about data security and privacy have also increased as a result of this digital transition. Consumers are more vulnerable to...

Mogrosides: Natural Non-Caloric Sweeteners

Abstract Monk fruit (Siraitia grosvenorii) has recently gained significant attention as an important natural, non-caloric sweetener source because of its intensely sweet triterpene glycosides known as mogrosides. This review summarizes current knowledge on monk fruit extract and...

Integrated optimization for least-cost, low-emission electricity pathways: Evidence from Saudi Arabia

This paper analyses least-cost, low-emission electricity pathways for Saudi Arabia over 2018–2040. Using the LEAP modelling framework, four supply pathways are evaluated under a common electricity demand trajectory reaching 640.2 TWh by 2040, requiring approximately 707.4 TWh of...

Sharp Edge-Edit Bounds at Every Level for Leaky Positive Semidefinite Forcing

This work disproves the 1-leaky positive semidefinite edge-deletion conjecture and replaces it with a sharp theorem. For every leak level ℓ and edge e, one has |Z⁺₍ℓ₎(G) − Z⁺₍ℓ₎(G − e)| ≤ 2. More generally, if two graphs differ only on edges with both endpoints in S, their parame...

Petal rigidity and access forcing in polynomial lemniscates: an exponent-sharp rigidity threshold for a path problem of Erdős, Herzog, and Piranian

Let f be a monic polynomial of degree n ≥ 2 whose roots all lie in the open unit disk, let Λ = {z : |f(z)| < 1}, let c = |f(0)|, and let β = Σ_j |ζ_j| be the ℓ¹-mass of the critical points of f. Erdős, Herzog, and Piranian proved that some connected component of Λ contains at lea...

P1.188. Correlation Between ICG Fluorescence Angiography Kinetics and Tissue Oxygen Saturation Gradients During Gastric Conduit Perfusion Assessment

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Cancer Background Poor gastric conduit perfusion is associated with post-esophagectomy anastomotic leak. Oxygen saturation imaging (OSI) can be used to demonstrate a snapshot assessment of perfusion as an alternat...

Calculation of water storage space and changes in underground coal mine reservoirs

In view of the limited limited water storage space and unstable structure in traditional caving mining, and the invisibility of goaf leads to the difficulty of accurate calculation of water storage space, this paper proposes a comprehensive technical method for the digitization o...

When Papers Stop Scaling: The Knowledge Abundance Paradox and the Institutional Economics of Scientific Coordination

Artificial intelligence can lower the cost of producing plausible research outputs without proportionally lowering the cost of verification and accumulation. This position paper defines the Knowledge Abundance Paradox, develops a quality-adjusted lifecycle framework for comparing...

Decade-long shift toward vegan meal options as part of dietary transition in German university canteens

Abstract Shifting diets toward plant-based foods supports climate and health goals, yet whether expanding vegan options replaces animal-based (meat, fish) or vegetarian meals remains unclear. Here we show menu and price trends using 3.7 million meal options from 340 German univer...

Machine learning survival models for colorectal cancer: advantages of random survival forests over classification algorithms

Colorectal cancer remains a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, motivating the development of accurate prognostic models. Despite advances in machine learning for survival prediction, a common practice in the literature reformulates time-to-event outcomes as binary...

Patient and public involvement and engagement in co-designing guidance for mental health professionals supporting neurodivergent children and young people in child and adolescent mental health services

Abstract Background Neurodivergent children and young people, including those with autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and intellectual disability, experience higher rates of mental health difficulties than their neurotypical peers. Despite this increased need, many...

P1.014. Gastroesophageal Intussusception After Myotomy for Achalasia

Abstract Topic Benign Disease: Esophageal Function and Motility Case Submission Gastroesophageal intussusception (GEI) is a rare condition in adults, defined by telescoping of the stomach into the oesophagus. Its presentation is often nonspecific—manifesting as dysphagia, vomitin...
