From an estate to urban districts. Invasions, expropriations, and sales in the transformation of San Juan (Lima, 1940–2020)

This study, within the context of the urban transformation of the city of Lima (Peru) between the twentieth century and the present, investigates an agricultural estate (San Juan) that became incorporated into Lima’s urban area, now part of the current districts of San Juan de Mi...

METABOLIC-INFLAMMATORY INTERACTIONS IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE AND MASLD: THE GUT-LIVER AXIS AS A LINK BETWEEN DYSBIOSIS, SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATION AND HEPATIC FIBROSIS

The coexistence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) represents a clinically important example of interaction between chronic intestinal inflammation and systemic metabolic dysfunction. This review summarizes con...

Legal status, gender, and the division of household labour among African couples

Legal status is a pivotal axis of stratification in the United States. Yet individuals do not migrate alone. Two-thirds of migrants are married, and migrant spouses receive a separate – and often dependent – legal categorization from that of their husband or wife. International s...

Antioxidant, Structural and Technofunctional Profiling of Seed-Free Sea Buckthorn Pomace Dry Fractionated by Grinding–Sieving

Sea buckthorn pomace, generated as a by-product of juice processing, has potential for valorisation as a functional food ingredient. This study investigated whether dry fractionation by grinding and controlled sieving of seed-free sea buckthorn pomace (SBP) can generate granulome...

Context Matters: Developing NOS Understanding in Authentic Science Learning Settings

Abstract Understanding the nature of science (NOS) is considered by policymakers and science education researchers as a critical part of students’ scientific literacy, yet research shows that both students and teachers often lack an adequate NOS understanding. This study investig...

Composite nuclear physics and molecular chemistry are the same function.

AbstractThis study introduces an effective bonding function B(ω) = R · cos(Δθ) · T · F(N) based on the spatial energy dynamic balance function R = r'0 · exp(±bθ) · exp(±iφ) · exp(±jψ) (b = √5/2 ≈ 1.118) proposed in prior work, and analyzes the stability of multi-center molecular...

Radiographic Evaluation of Scoliosis in Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Patients: Associations Between Curve Severity, Localization, and Skeletal Maturity

Background/Objectives: The vertebral column is exposed to significant mechanical loads, exceeding 8000 N at certain levels due to bipedal posture and locomotion. These forces may contribute to structural alterations during growth. Scoliosis is among the most common structural spi...

LGBTQ+ Parents and Infant Feeding: An Analysis of the Household Pulse Survey Dataset

Purpose: Human milk is the optimal food for newborns; however, infant feeding practices of parents who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, or sexual and gender minorities (LGBTQ+) are largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to describe infant feeding practices in LGB...

ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF TOURIST FLOWS ON REGIONAL ECONOMIC OUTCOMES IN UZBEKISTAN AND ANALYSING LOCAL INCOMES AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS

This article examines the assessment of the impact of tourist flows on regional economic outcomes in Uzbekistan, and the way in which the economic benefits derived from tourism are generated and distributed within the local economy. An increase in the number of tourist arrivals i...

Deciphering Aggregation-Induced Tunable Circular Dichroism of AuBP@Ag and AuBP@Au Chiral Core–Shell Plasmonic Nanoparticles

Abstract Plasmonic nanoparticles exhibiting strong and tunable chiroptical signals have been drawing much interest recently due to their potential vast applications. A few years ago, it was shown that seed-mediated metal growth can be harnessed to make single nanoparticles intrin...

Efficient Cascade Abiotic Synthesis of Sugar From CO 2

ABSTRACT The capability of producing sugar compounds from carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), ideally based on abiotic systems, suggests an artificial, scalable strategy to provide potential solutions for both food and environmental issues. In this work, we report an inorganic, abiotic pathw...

Renal Cortical Siderosis: Imaging Findings and Clinical Relevance

Abstract Renal cortical hemosiderosis is the accumulation of iron in the renal cortex. On MRI, this can be inferred by marked cortical T2 hypointensity and loss of signal on in-phase imaging relative to opposed-phase imaging. Although classically associated with paroxysmal noctur...

Revisiting Identification Thresholds of Specific Learning Disorders ( SLD ) in Gifted Children ( GC ). A Comparison of Three Groups: Twice‐Exceptional ( TE ) Children, GC Without SLD and Non‐ GC With SLD

ABSTRACT This study investigates assessment of Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) in Twice‐Exceptional (TE) children, gifted children (GC) who also present SLD, in oral and written language domains. Applying the standard threshold for identification (< 7th percentile) to GC often...

Characterization of a Unique Carbohydrate-Binding Module from Akkermansia muciniphila that Binds Ganglioside-Associated Glycans

Abstract Akkermansia muciniphila is a mucin-degrading gut symbiont that promotes host metabolic health through its ability to utilize host-derived glycans. Central to this microbe is its diverse set of glycoside hydrolases (GHs), specifically GHs involved in degrading host glycan...

A Green Protocol for the Deprotection of ortho ‐Nitrobenzyl Esters and Ethers by UVA–LED Irradiation

ABSTRACT The removal of protecting groups in synthetic organic transformations under green and mild conditions is of high interest. In this study, a green photochemical protocol for the deprotection of ortho ‐nitrobenzyl esters and ethers is introduced, utilizing LED 370 nm irrad...

Pity is a Rebel Passion. Jenny Saville’s Contemporary Pietà

This article examines six works by contemporary British artist Jenny Saville (featured in her exhibition at Ca’ Pesaro in Venice) to reflect on the iconographic motif of the Pietà. A brief tracing of the iconographic tradition reveals that this theme does not stem from a literary...

Research on Anti-Money Laundering Regulatory Issues and Risk Prevention and Control in Insurance Intermediary Channels

As the insurance industry evolves, intermediaries serve as a bridge between insurance companies and their clients. However, the complexity of transaction workflows and the diversity of fund flow mechanisms give rise to potential money laundering risks and challenges for effective...

Fermentation-Based Valorization of Grapevine Waste: Microbial Bioconversion, Bioactive Recovery, and Industrial Bioprocess Integration

Vineyard management and winemaking leave behind large residue streams that are still rarely used as fermentation feedstocks. This review considers how pomace, skins, seeds, stems, canes, pruning wood, leaves and wine lees can be directed toward microbial bioconversion, fermentati...

Campus Companion: A Role-Based Smart Campus Management and Engagement Platform

Educational institutions rely on fragmented channels such as notice boards, messaging groups, email, and spreadsheets for communication and scheduling, which can lead to missed notices, timetable clashes, and untracked grievances. This paper presents Campus Companion, a role-base...
