A wide range of extreme cosmic phenomena such as black holes, magnetars, gamma-ray bursts, quasars, cosmic voids and cold spots can only be fragmentarily explained by general relativity, quantum field theory and the ΛCDM model without a unified ontological foundation. Relying on...

Abstract This study systematically modulated the healing and creation of S vacancies in monolayer Mo(1–x)WxS2 alloys via low-temperature H2 and S vapor annealing, observing three distinct types of photoluminescence (PL) evolutions. Type I featured intensified PL, a decreased X–/X...

Matter and Antimatter: The Mirror-Flow Model
An accounting model derives the matter–antimatter asymmetry without symmetry breaking, from four assumptions: three axes with two directions each; doubling; unbreakable mirror symmetry; and the rule of existence — nothing exists without completing its cycle. The antiparticle is t...

Abstract Purpose of Review Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous, and exposure to them has been associated with adverse reproductive health in both animals and humans. While the adverse effects of maternal EDC exposures on pregnancy outcomes have been extensively i...

Cell Painting in activated cells illuminates phenotypic dark space and drug mechanisms of action
Abstract As drug and natural product libraries expand, assays for assessing mechanisms of action (MoA) are increasingly critical. Performing cytological profiling using the Cell Painting (CP) assay enables image-based profiling of cellular states upon treatment, yet many bioactiv...

Frequent marine heatwaves (MHWs) pose significant threats to and have a profound impact on the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems. The response of marine organisms to MHWs may depend on the background temperature of their habitats. Saccharina japonica is a cold-temper...

Analysing the Governance of the Cameroon Football Federation
ABSTRACT This thesis examines the governance of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) and its influence on football development. Employing stakeholder theory (Freeman, 1984), this qualitative single-case study addresses three objectives: to analyse FECAFOOT's strategies and...

SIGNALRUPTURE INSTITUTIONAL GOVERNANCE FIELD (SR-IGF)
Description The SignalRupture Institutional Governance Field (SR‑IGF) defines institutions not as rule‑bound administrative bodies, but as distributed cognitive‑governance systems that perceive, compress, represent, interpret, decide, act, drift, recoil, and reorganize. SR‑IGF st...

Acute effects of the 1-minute sit-to-stand test (STST) on immune-metabolic stress indices
Abstract Characterizing the non-pathological, exercise-induced immune-metabolic stress regulation is important for understanding physiological adaptations and distinguishing them from maladaptive responses. Because such responses are mostly studied with extensive, resource-intens...
