Part IX Independence Within Interdependence: From Differentiated Development to Cooperative Human Action

The preceding parts of this research program examined how a human system may be prepared for demands whose future domain cannot be reliably specified in advance. Part I introduced the Unknown Demand Problem. Part II distinguished the functional domains of Heart, Intellect, and Se...

PrEP awareness, barriers and facilitators in Malaysia in the current landscape of new HIV infections: a review

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake remains low among key populations in Malaysia despite notable improvements in PrEP awareness. This literature review aims to understand PrEP awareness, barriers and facilitators that influence PrEP utilisation. PrEP awareness ranged between...

Stress Management as a Systemic Process of Psychological Regulation

The aim of this study was to develop an integrated theoretical model of stress management based on a multi-level analysis of the mechanisms of psychological regulation under stress conditions. The research employed a systemic approach and utilised methods of scientific literature...

Identification of specific transcripts for plant heat stress tolerance through genome-wide analysis of SIZ1-dependent alternative polyadenylation

Heat stress (HS) has emerged as a significant environmental factor affecting plant growth and agricultural productivity. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a crucial co-transcriptional process that regulates developmental processes and stress responses in plants. However, the d...

Polystyrene microplastics alter the accumulation and elimination dynamics of silver nanoparticles in Daphnia magna

Environmental context Microplastics are widespread aquatic contaminants that can alter the environmental behavior of co-occurring pollutants. This study shows that polystyrene microplastics substantially modify silver nanoparticle bioaccumulation in Daphnia magna, increasing wate...

Development and analysis of a mixed colloid standard with trace elements using AF4-ICP-MS

Environmental context Colloids are small, unstable particles that play important environmental roles in the transport of trace elements and can be analysed using asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) coupled to inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). A m...

Data-driven residential electricity load forecasting method for virtual power plants

Abstract Virtual power plants (VPP) integrate distributed energy resources and residential loads to enhance the flexibility and reliability of power systems. Accurate residential electricity load forecasting is therefore essential for VPP scheduling and demand-side management. Ho...

Gravitational Manipulation Theory v2.4 — Apparatus-Space Scaling of Information Sufficiency

Gravitational Manipulation Theory (GMT) v2.4 extends the information-sufficiency program from a finite three-class robustness test to a pre-registered apparatus-design space. GMT v2.2 established, for a single Controlled Synthetic Apparatus (CSA), operator sufficiency at (L^*{\ma...

A systematic review of divine forgiveness self-report measures

Abstract Background Divine forgiveness (DF) can be defined as the perception of being absolved from sin by a Higher Power. Psychological research is increasingly recognizing DF as a relevant construct with implications for well-being, coping, and spirituality. Despite this growin...

Pull: Lazy Materialization of Working Memory for Stateful LLM Conversations

As LLM conversations grow to hundreds of turns, full-context injection incurs O(N²) cumulative token costs, while lossy summarization or hard truncation irreversibly discards historical state. We propose Pull, a session router that maintains an addressable metadata directory via...

Efficient speech denoising using CleanUNet optimized with Mamba and hybrid spectral loss

Abstract Speech enhancement aims to recover clean speech from signals degraded by noise and adverse acoustic conditions, such as background interference and echo. CleanUNet has emerged as an effective solution for causal speech denoising, but its high computational demands limit...

Transcriptomic Alterations and RNA-Seq Computational Workflows in Space Biology: A Review of NASA Open Science Frameworks

Biological systems exposed to spaceflight environments encounter unique physical stressors, primarily microgravity and ionizing cosmic radiation. Understanding how these factors influence cellular function at the molecular level requires high-throughput sequencing technologies. T...

Epoxidation ofCanola and Sunflower Oils Using Dimethyldioxiranein Microemulsions

Abstract Epoxidized vegetable oils (EVOs) are sustainable, bioderived epoxides potentially useful as green polymer precursors, offering low toxicity, biodegradability, and low environmental impact. This study investigates the epoxidation of canola and sunflower oils using in situ...

Human-in-the-loop Evaluation of medical large language models: A bilingual framework for clinical accuracy,saftey, hallucination detection , ARABIC-ENGLISH medical AI

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly being applied to healthcare-related tasks, including medical question answering, clinical documentation, medical translation, patient education, information retrieval, and healthcare workflow support. Despite their impressive linguist...

Evaluation of Flexural Capacity of Prestressed Composite Girders with Corrugated Steel Webs at Elevated Temperatures

Abstract Prestressed composite girders with corrugated steel webs (PCGCSWs), widely adopted in bridge engineering, are particularly vulnerable to fire-induced damage due to the combined effects of mechanical properties degradation in the temperature-sensitive steel web and prestr...

Evaluating the Short-Form Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale in a Japanese university EFL context: internal-structure evidence and score-interpretation boundaries

Abstract Foreign language classroom anxiety remains a central construct in applied linguistics, but brief instruments require context-specific evidence before their scores are used for substantive interpretation. This study examined the eight-item Short-Form Foreign Language Clas...

DISSECTING THE PROBLEM OF AGENTIC AI ACCOUNTABILITY:

In 2026, A. Stavropoulos accurately diagnosed the managerial gap in agentic AI: machines act at millisecond speed, institutions at the speed of meetings. Yet his commentary stops precisely where engineering begins — at the call to “take accountability into account.” The present w...

Measure the Instrument First: Preregistered, Prediction-Sealed, One-Shot Calibration of Four Endpoints in a 4B QLoRA Series

Technical preprint, version 1.0. English is the primary version; a faithful Japanese companion version is included. When a model series shows little or no apparent difference, two explanations must be separated: the target may not differ, or the instrument may be unable to resolv...

In vivo quantification of polyethylene wear in total ankle arthroplasty

Aims In vivo assessment of polyethylene (PE) wear in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) relies on approximation using 2D metal interspace height (2D-MIH) loss on weightbearing radiographs. Weightbearing CT (WBCT), combined with distance mapping, may improve quantification of PE wear...

Academic entrepreneurship: uncovering the role of formal and informal logics in the academic entrepreneurial space

Abstract This study integrates the embedded perspective of entrepreneurship with institutional logics theory to theorise AE as an embedded phenomena, sitting at the intersection of individuals within surrounding contexts. Drawing on qualitative data from STEM academics at three r...
