The institutional politics of development finance: ODA’s role in shaping subnational DFI investments

Abstract Development finance institutions (DFIs), operated by donor governments to support private sector development in the Global South, often face informational barriers when deciding where to invest abroad. We argue that traditional Official Development Assistance (ODA), deli...

Global Regularity of the 3D Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations: The Dynamic Depletion of Vortex Stretching via Non-Local Pressure Hessian Interaction

The question of global existence and smoothness of solutions to the 3Dincompressible Navier-Stokes equations remains one of the most significantchallenges in mathematical analysis. This manuscript provides a definitiveproof of global regularity for initial data u0 ∈ H1(R3). We in...

Isomorphic Hadronic Resonators: Phenomenological Analysis of Discrete Mass Spectra via Non-Linear Ricci Curvature Phase Compression

This paper presents a parameter-free phenomenologicalframework that derives discrete hadronic mass intervalswithin the Particle Data Group (PDG) registryfrom first principles. Instead of employing computationallyexpensive lattice QCD gauge configurations, thehadronic spectrum is...

Characterising caregivers’ contingent responses: Short, slow, and clear speech facilitates infant turn-taking

Bidirectional temporal contingency in infant-caregiver interaction is believed to be instrumental in shaping the development of turn-taking and speech. Likewise, caregivers are known to modulate their voices in a distinctive register when speaking to infants. Yet, less is known a...

The Effectiveness of the Discovery Learning with an Ethnomathematics Focus on Ratu Boko Temple on Students' Learning Achievement and Self-Efficacy

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a discovery learning approach with an ethnomathematics focus on students’ learning achievement and self-efficacy. This study was conducted during the 2024–2025 school year with eighth-grade students at a junior high school in...

Al-Ghayb, A Formal Mathematical Definition of the Unseen

The Qur'anic concept of al-ghayb (the Unseen) is central to Islamic theology, but scholarship usually treats it through exegetical, theological, mystical, or anthropological analysis. This paper develops a formal, time-indexed model separating actual discovery from accessibility...

Photometallobiocatalytic Asymmetric Radical‐Mediated Cross‐Coupling of Organotrifluoroborate Salts and Pyridotriazoles

ABSTRACT The cooperative integration of photoredox catalysis and metalloenzyme catalysis has emerged as a powerful strategy for enabling stereoselective radical transformations beyond the capabilities of either catalytic mode alone. Herein, we report a photometallobiocatalytic en...

Institutionalizing LLM-assisted decision support for malaria risk-focused ITN reprioritization in Nigeria: Digital competency, workplace resource profiles, experiences, and pathways to routine integration

Background In Nigeria, the country with the greatest global malaria burden, funding constraints increasingly require insecticide-treated net (ITN) reprioritization to target those at highest risk. Large language models (LLM)- assisted decision-support tools may facilitate risk-in...

From Universality to Consciousness: Beyond the Skull, Into the World

The world is universal; a life is not. Nowhere in the laws of nature is it written that “this pain is mine” or “this memory is yours.” Yet experience does not occur for the world in general. It appears in this body, after this history, in this present. This paper addresses the in...

Pre-Governance in Production: A Single-Operator Case Study of Constraint-First Governance at the Deployment Decision Surface

v1.1 (2026-08-22) withdraws this study's expiry findings. The status recorded as EXPIRED in the governance trace denotes a consumed approval, not an unadjudicated timeout: it is written when an escalation is approved, to spend a one-time approval. The timeout path writes a differ...

Concurrent Peripheral Arterial Disease Predicts Re-Intervention Following Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: A Single-Centre Propensity Matched Retrospective Study

Purpose: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) share common risk factors and may co-exist in patients undergoing AAA repair. The impact of concomitant PAD on clinical outcomes post AAA repair remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate whether con...

Comparing the readability of AI-generated and society-authored patient information leaflets in orthopaedics

Abstract Introduction Effective patient education is critical in orthopaedic care, influencing satisfaction, adherence, and outcomes. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly large language models (LLMs), could offer the potential to improve patient information leaflets (PILs),...

Understanding bowel cancer screening behaviour and intention across British, Indian, and Indian-Immigrant populations: A qualitative cross-cultural comparison

Bowel cancer screening reduces mortality, yet uptake remains suboptimal across many populations. While disparities in participation are well documented, limited qualitative research has explored how cultural and healthcare contexts shape attitudes towards screening and preventive...

Delay Differential Equation Approach to Oligomerization Reveals the Delay Dynamics Underlying Oscillations in Mitochondrial Fission

Abstract Disruptions in the balance of mitochondrial fission and fusion are implicated in a host of diseases including cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurodegenerative, as well as cancer. Leinheiser et al. proposed a mechanistic model for mitochondrial fission which relies on the...

Bacterial quorum sensing signals reshape phycosphere functions to regulate colony morphology in Phaeocystis globosa

Phaeocystis globosa exhibits a complex life cycle alternating between solitary cells and colonial forms. Although phycosphere bacteria have been implicated in bloom dynamics, the factors that mediate bacterial behaviour to influence colony formation, as well as how bacterial quor...

How Does Motion-to-Photon Latency Influence the Perception-Action Loop

The perception-action loop plays an essential role in sports performance. Virtual reality is increasingly used to train this loop because it provides a controlled setting. However, motion-to-photon latency, the delay between the user’s real and virtual motion, may disrupt user ex...

Explaining Cognitive and Perceptual Phenomena Through Resonance of Closed Neural Network Geometries (RCNNG): A Unified Framework

This preprint presents the updated and expanded formulation of the RCNNG framework, a geometric–resonant theory proposing a unified foundation for perception, cognition, and conscious experience. In RCNNG, the fundamental units of mental processing are Closed Recurrent Geometries...

Gender Bias in Clinical Diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) share overlapping clinical features including social cognitive differences, interpersonal difficulties, emotional dysregulation, and alexithymia. The two conditions show different gender prevalen...

Behaviorally Free, Ontologically Determined: Consciousness and Decision as Self-Directed Modelling Residual in Quantum-Geometry Dynamics

Quantum-Geometry Dynamics (QGD) admits no exception to bottom-up determinism: Axiomatic Localism establishes that every causal succession is exhaustively fixed by local preonic configuration. There is no causal slack and no abstract causal layer through which mental states, inten...

Existing molecular biology indicates a path to biological immortality

This preprint argues that complementary single strand lesions (CSSLs) are the primary irreversible form of nuclear DNA damage driving aging. A simple Bayesian model using average literature values for daily new damage (~70,000 lesions/cell) and steady damage (~38,000 lesions/cell...
