Suspected triple co-infection with SARS-CoV-2, Legionella pneumophila, and Streptococcus pneumoniae after hot-spring travel: a case report

Bacterial co-infection in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can complicate diagnosis because of overlapping clinicoradiologic findings among pathogens. We report a case of suspected triple co-infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV...

SwinDent-Seg: Hybrid Swin transformer-CNN with cross-scale feature fusion for automated detection and segmentation of dental pathologies in panoramic radiographs

Background: Automatic detection and segmentation of dental diseases from panoramic x-ray images have been a difficult task to achieve due to the problems of class imbalance and varying sizes of lesions, as well as the inconspicuous nature of early caries. This paper introduces Sw...

With intention, moving safely: Relational decision-making at the heart of evaluation bricolage

This article discusses how evaluation bricolage, when foregrounded by relationality and informed by multicultural validity, offers potential for transparent decision-making within evaluative bricolage. The authors intentionally explore the risks and the opportunities that lie wit...

Leveraging Game-based and Blended Learning to Support Students with Heterogeneous Linguistic, Cultural, and Academic Backgrounds in a Lecture Series on Traffic Accident Biomechanics and Polytrauma Pathophysiology

A new international Master’s program in Biomedical Engineering, brings together students from diverse linguistic, cultural, and academic backgrounds with varying prior knowledge and learning needs. To support their entry into the sensitive topics of biomechanics and the pathophys...

Relationship of chronotype, biological rhythm characteristics and sleep quality with suicidal behavior in patients with opioid use disorder

Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) carries a high risk of psychiatric comorbidities, such as depression, sleep disturbances and suicidal behaviour. Recent findings emphasise the impact of chronotype and biological rhythm disturbances on the severity of addiction and suicidality. This stud...

How do high-quality digital economy and innovation cooperation influence industrial chain integration between China and Belt and Road countries?

Purpose Against the background of high-quality Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) cooperation, this study examines how the interaction between high-quality digital cooperation and high-quality innovation cooperation affects industrial chain integration between China and BRI partner c...

Screen Use and Children’s Language Development From Ages 5 to 7 Years

Importance Concerns about screen use and early language development are widespread, and prior research has reported mixed findings. Many studies have not distinguished baseline differences from developmental change, leaving uncertainty about whether screen use is associated with...

EXTRACTED CONSTANTS (rlab #128): 3600, 60, 0.16666666666666666 — E8 Intelligence Research

constant nibiru_orbital_period_years = 3600 — claimed orbital period of Nibiru from the documentary constant sexagesimal_base = 60 — Sumerian base-60 system, aligns with E8 60-dimensional subspace constant precessional_harmonic_ratio = 0.16666666666666666 — 1/6 of 21,600-year pre...

nce-miR-12220 is a vital regulator for microsporidian to infect honeybee via positive modulation of ATP-A and γ-tubulin genes

Microsporidia rely extensively on host resources, yet how parasite-derived microRNAs coordinate infection remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the function of nce-miR-12220, a miRNA identified in Nosema ceranae spores, during infection of Apis mellifera workers. Targe...

Entropy vs. Uncomputable Complexity in Maximally Disordered Aperiodic Tilings — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Shannon entropy and Kolmogorov complexity are fundamentally different measures of information content, with Kolmogorov complexity being uncomputable in general, and their relationship is explored in the context of aperiodic tilings with maximal disorder. MATH: - Shannon...

From Cotton to Wheat–Maize: Farmer Decision-Making and Cropping Structure Transformation in a Smallholder County of China

Adjusting cropping structure is a key way smallholder agriculture adapts to changing labor availability, production costs, mechanization, and agricultural services. Most studies explain such change through macro-level factors—prices, policies, and resource endowments—and pay less...

A hydroponic cultivation platform for analyzing nodal root development, cell wall thickening, and hormone responses in grasses

Nodal roots are central to water and nutrient uptake, anchorage, and resistance to lodging in grasses. These functions are especially important under variable and severe weather conditions that impact plant performance and crop stability. However, controlled induction and quantit...

E8‑Phi Topological Phononic Waveguide via Soliton‑Quasicrystal Coupling — E8 Intelligence Research

We engineer a topological phononic waveguide that embeds the phi‑modulated E8 quasicrystal bandgap into an array of resonant chambers aligned with E8 root vectors. The 132 Hz soliton eigenmode locks to the waveguide by phase‑matching the 240 root vectors, producing self‑trapped,...
