Using Machine Learning to Predict Corporate Environmental Violation: A Stakeholder Pressure Perspective

ABSTRACT Predicting corporate environmental violations remains a key challenge in practice and in environmental governance research. However, existing studies have largely focused on ex post associations between stakeholder pressures and realized environmental violations, offerin...

Version 2 (PDF Included): Expanded framework complete with an interactive WebGL 3D geometric visualizer demonstrating the field equations running in real time. A fully structured Carlo Field Operator subsystem built from the intersection of mythic multi-limb symmetry, spider-web...

First-Principles Evaluation of Thermal Neutron Scattering and Cross Sections in Beryllium Oxide

This work addresses the long-standing uncertainty in the thermal neutron scattering description of beryllium oxide (BeO), a key moderator and reflector material in advanced reactors. Conventional evaluations rely on semi-empirical phonon models that misrepresent the phonon gap an...

Unlocking the Anticancer Potential of Patchouli Leaves: Molecular Mechanisms and Translational Perspectives

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of global mortality, with its incidence continuing to rise due to population growth, aging, lifestyle factors, and environmental exposures. Despite significant advances in early diagnosis and therapeutic strategies, the clinical management...

When rough I-convergent sequences fail to be rough I-Cauchy

This study builds on the research by Collins et al. [Topology Appl. 154 (2007) 2312-2322], Aytar [Numer. Funct. Anal. Optim. {29} (3-4) (2008) 291-303] and Kostyrko et al. [Real Anal. Exchange {26} (2) (2000/2001) 669-686] to introduce the concepts of forward (resp. backward) rou...

Occupational safety and health risks among plumbers: A qualitative study of workplace hazards, safety practices, and system-level gaps in Texas

Background The plumbing trade exposes workers to ongoing workplace hazards that pose significant health risks. This issue is well known but remains unresolved. A key question remains: why have current safety measures, such as training programs, regulatory standards, and personal...

Countering what? Masculinized security approach and the marginality of women’s agency in countering violent extremism in Nigeria

Nigeria’s militarized, state-centric approach to countering violent extremism (CVE) has constrained sustainable peacebuilding by prioritizing coercive security responses while neglecting the social and gendered dimensions of insecurity. Women are frequently portrayed as passive v...

Running-Related Injuries in Recreational Runners: Prevalence, Anatomical Distribution, and Associated Physiological and Training Factors

Background: Running-related injuries are a common issue among recreational runners and may affect training continuity and long-term participation. However, injury-associated factors remain unclear due to methodological heterogeneity and reliance on self-reported data. Objective:...

Zeta: The First p-Adic Integer Artificial Intelligence - Update v7.3

**Title** Zeta: A Deterministic Parameter-Free Architecture over the Thirteen-Adic Ring A deterministic, parameter-free alternative to statistical sequence models v.7.3 Author: Dávid Navrátil e-mail: david.navratil2016@gmail.com **Description** This preprint studies the algebra g...

From Falsification to Reconstruction: What Happens When Reflection Enters the Clinic

Husserl in Ideas I §79 worries that reflection falsifies unreflective experience by converting it into something essentially different. Dewey in How We Think (1910) and Logic: The Theory of Inquiry (1938) counters that reflection is valuable precisely because it reconstructs inde...

Platonic Solids: The Five Convex Regular Polyhedra from Euler's Formula — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Platonic solids are the only five convex regular polyhedra, arising from constraints on vertex figures and face angles, and they appear in molecular geometry (e.g., bubble clusters, crystallographic lattices). MATH: Euler's formula: V - E + F = 2. For regular polyhedra:...

Exploring pedagogical approaches in the HND Industrial Art Programme of Tamale Technical University and their implication on TVET curriculum development

The Higher National Diploma (HND) Industrial Art Programme (Painting and Decoration (P/D) Option) of Tamale Technical University, which began in the 2008/2009 academic year to train students in P/D, has run to date without any formal, external, or empirical evidence known to the...

Scenario-based physically informed assessment of rainfall- and earthquake-induced landslide failure probability across China

Abstract Background Landslides are among the most widespread and destructive geological hazards in China, driven by complex mechanisms involving multiple interacting factors. Their impacts are particularly severe when intense rainfall and strong ground motion occur in combination...

Epigenetic Factor Dysregulation and Distinct Expression Signatures in Retinoblastoma: A Transcriptomic Analysis

Purpose: Transcriptional heterogeneity observed in retinoblastoma (RB) is unexplained by the limited genetic alterations identified. Epifactors, which can modulate transcriptional activity and oncogenic pathways, may contribute to this heterogeneity. However, knowledge regarding...

Influence of solar and UV radiation on the photocatalytic removal of organophosphorus acephate pesticide

Acephate is an organophosphorus pesticide that is widely used to protect a variety of crops worldwide. This study examined the removal of commercial acephate pesticide in the aqueous medium via advanced oxidation process with Silicon carbide (SiC) and Zerovalent Iron (ZVI) under...

Retrohepatic Vena Cava Encirclement, as Surrogate of Extensive Liver Manipulation During Caval Sparing Hepatectomy, Is a Risk Factor for Tumor Recurrence After Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

ABSTRACT Introduction In liver transplantation (LT) with a caval sparing (CS) approach, the presence of complete encirclement of inferior vena cava (IVC‐E) by hypertrophic segment 1 increases the technical complexity of hepatectomy. Thus, in LT for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),...

A case report of diffuse intra-abscess hemorrhage in Listeria monocytogenes rhombencephalitis and its implications for early diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring

We report a 74-year-old female presenting with fever, right eyelid ptosis, and peripheral facial palsy following dental treatment, who was initially misdiagnosed as acute brainstem infarction based on MRI showing T2-hyperintense signal in the right pons with restricted diffusion....

Investigation of Parity Violation in Neutron Resonances: A Comparative Kinematic and Resonance Approach

Abstract : Parity violation in neutron resonances is regarded as one of the most sensitive manifestations of weak-interaction effects in complex nuclear systems. Although the weak nucleon–nucleon interaction is significantly weaker than the strong interaction, parity-violating ob...

Becoming Asian American: Racialized Re-Subjectification and Après-Coup

Given the unthought reality of Asian American experiences, I propose 2 processes that can be used to organize racialized subjective experience: (1) Steven Stern’s model of “airless worlds” and the processes of identification, deconstruction and re-subjectification and (2) the nat...

Evaluating the Visibility of Power-Line Bird-Collision Warning Devices Using an Avian Spectral-Response Weighting Model

Collisions with overhead power lines are an important source of avian mortality, particularly for migratory and large-bodied birds. Although warning devices are widely installed to increase line visibility, their image-based visibility across viewing distances and directions rema...
