From Green Promotion to Circular Value Creation: Mapping the Intellectual Structure and Emerging Fronts of Circular Economy Marketing Through Bibliometric Science Mapping (2011–2026)

Circular economy (CE) research has expanded rapidly, yet the marketing dimension of circularity remains conceptually dispersed across green marketing, sustainable consumption, remanufacturing, product-service systems, circular business models, reverse logistics, and consumer beha...

PRELIMINARY EVIDENCE FOR VIRTUAL REALITY EXERGAMING (NINTENDO® WII FIT PLUS™) IN BALANCE AND GAIT REHABILITATION OF CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY — A Single-Arm Pre-Post Pilot Study

ABSTRACT Introduction: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) present significant challenges in balance and gait that adversely affect their quality of life. Exergaming platforms offer a potentially engaging and accessible complement to conventional physiotherapy. Objective: This pilo...

The Congruency Framework: A General Theory of Coherence, Continuance, Resonance, and State Transition

This paper introduces the Congruency Framework, a proposed cross-domain model for investigating coherence, persistence, resonance, and state transition in complex systems. The framework proposes measurable relationships among system state, known-state coherence, system engagement...

CONSUMER ATTITUDE FORMATION IN PRIVATE LABEL APPAREL BRANDS: ASSESSING THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF BRAND VALUE ON PURCHASE INTENTION

<ns5:p>Background Private label clothing brands have seen a rise in acceptance among Indian consumers, who typically prioritize value in their buying choices. It is crucial for retailers and marketers to comprehend how consumer attitudes affect purchase intentions and the signifi...

Dynamical Entanglement Preservation via Graded Floquet Attractors on Superconducting Transmon Chains

We report the observation of long-range dynamical protection and coherent transport of two-qubit entangled states across discrete 1D lattice chains on a 156-qubit superconducting quantum processor (ibm_marrakesh). By combining an affine geometric phase gradient with periodic CPMG...

Artificial Intelligence and Performance Appraisal in Human Resource Management, A Study of Access Bank Nigeria Plc

This study examined the artificial intelligence and performance appraisal in human resource management, a study of Access Bank Nigeria plc. The objectives of the study include to: ascertain the effect of AI driven performance appraisal on employee engagement at Access Bank Nigeri...

The Ontology of Residue: A Philosophy of Structural Non-Describability and a Theory of Minimal Descriptive Extension

Why does extension in mathematics terminate, while extension in ontological description does not? The field of real numbers, confronted with its failure to be algebraically closed, was closed by the addition of a single axis: the imaginary uniti. The description of the real dimen...

Sensory Issues and Occupational Participation in Adolescents and Young Adults with Autism: A Scoping Review

Aims People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may experience hypo- or hyperreactivity to sensory input. To date, sensory features of ASD have mostly been studied in children, with people over the age of 18 underrepresented in research. Therefore, this scoping review focuses on...

Eventual Sign-Regularity of Nuttall Cumulants: Finiteness in Conjecture 1

John Nuttall introduced a sequence of cumulants Ψ𝑚 associated with the Riemann 𝜉-kernel Φ andconjectured that, for every fixed order 𝑟 > 1, there is a finite least index 𝑚(𝑟) for which the additiveHankel kernel 𝐾𝑚(𝑢, 𝑣) = Ψ𝑚(𝑢 + 𝑣) is sign-reverse regular of order 𝑟. We prove the...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Based Platforms for Cardiac-Related Pain Research: Molecular Mechanisms, Experimental Models, and Therapeutic Applications

Cardiac-related pain, including angina pectoris and pain accompanying myocardial infarction, remains clinically important, and existing treatments are inadequate for some patients. Animal and primary-tissue studies provide important mechanistic evidence, but species differences a...

Post-quantum lightweight cryptographic algorithm for secure real-time decision-making in distributed optimization networks

Abstract The imminent threat posed by quantum computing to classical cryptographic systems necessitates the development of quantum-resistant, efficient, and scalable encryption techniques, especially for real-time distributed optimization networks critical to national infrastruct...

Social communication during a sow-piglet foraging paradigm

Offspring may use various sensory modalities to learn from the mother, but this has in pigs received relatively little research attention. The objective of this study was to investigate social cues between sow and piglet during a learning scenario related to foraging. We hypothes...

Transient international groups in Croatia – the pragmatics of advising tourists

Abstract Based on the frequency and functions of pragmatic features used in 24 conversations of different lengths between tourism workers and tourists recorded in two tourist information centers in Zagreb, Croatia, this paper investigates the pragmatics of advising. The paper unv...

Hybrid RSM-ANFIS modeling for concurrent optimization of fused filament fabrication and graphene content in high-performance PLA nanocomposites

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) offers unparalleled geometric complexity but faces significant challenges in achieving optimal mechanical performance and part accuracy in advanced nanocomposites. This study introduces a comprehensive approach to concurrently optimize both the ma...

Niche-dependent immunometabolic regulation of tissue repair and regeneration

Tissue repair restores structural integrity and functional homeostasis after injury through coordinated interactions among immune cells, structural compartments, and extracellular matrix remodeling, ultimately culminating in tissue-resident regenerative programs. Increasing evide...

U.S.-CHINA RESOURCE RIVALRY IN AFRICA: ASSESSING THE POLITICAL ECONOMY IMPLICATIONS FOR DR CONGO AND ZAMBIA

The intensifying rivalry between the United States and China over strategic resources has increasingly transformed Africa into an arena of geopolitical and economic competition. Resource-rich states such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia have emerged as critical...
