One State, Two Jharkhands

This opinion article examines the persistent inequalities in human development across Jharkhand, highlighting the contrast between relatively prosperous urban and industrial centres and rural and tribal communities that continue to experience significant socioeconomic disadvantag...

Effect of Chitosan on the Growth and Murein Hydrolase Activity of Streptococcus mutans with Mutations in the cid and lrg Two Component Autolytic Regulatory System

Chitosan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide with antimicrobial properties. This study investigated whether chitosan could induce the LytSR two-component autolytic regulatory system, specifically the cid and lrg operons, found in Streptococcus mutans. A turbidity assay and a...

Skin toxicity and effectiveness of first-line enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab for urothelial carcinoma: a prospective multicenter real-world study in Japan

Background Skin toxicity is a common adverse event associated with enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab (EVP) but its association with treatment outcomes remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate this association in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (...

From fragmented listings to systemic-risk signals: A proxy-augmented ΔCoVaR framework for the African banking systems

This paper proposes an asset-weighted, proxy-augmented ΔCoVaR framework for measuring systemic risk in African banking systems with limited direct equity-market observability. The method preserves listed local banks and augments country-level systems through valid listed parent,...

Interface charge modification–defect engineering–H2O-Mg2+ microenvironment synergistic catalysis for full-process kinetic optimization of MgH2 dehydrogenation

Decoupling the multifaceted kinetic limitations in the dehydrogenation process of magnesium hydride (MgH 2 ) is crucial for its large-scale commercial application. This study proposes a synergistic catalysis strategy of “interface charge modification–defect engineering–H 2 O-Mg 2...

Identity Formation and Communication Through Entrepreneurial Pitching: Butler, Spivak, Crenshaw, and Menon on Gender, Language, and Power in Shark Tank India Season 2

This study examines how language, identity and evaluative bias interact in female entrepreneurial pitches within a postcolonial, non-Western context and derives actionable implications for business and professional communication pedagogy. Drawing on thematic analysis of 16 broadc...

Tangential Search Results Yield No Direct Link Between Golden Ratio and CM j-Invariants — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The search results are largely tangential — the core query (j-invariant CM points, class field theory, golden ratio) yields no direct mathematical paper or theorem; instead, we get elementary pentagon proofs, Fibonacci pedagogy, and an unrelated Connes lecture. The only...

C³M-OMMT twin: A causal process–structure–property digital twin for morphology-aware mechanical optimization of OMMT-Modified PLA in fused-filament fabrications

Mechanically reliable fused-filament-fabricated (FFF) PLA/OMMT parts depend not only on filler fraction and nominal printing settings, but also on the coupled evolution of clay dispersion, melt rheology, thermal healing, void topology, and strain localization. This study develops...

Clinicopathologic spectrum and diagnostic insights from IgG4-related disease of the CNS

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) of the central nervous system (CNS) is a recently recognized entity, often misdiagnosed as neoplastic or inflammatory conditions. We present the largest retrospectively analysed Indian cohort of nine cases histologically diagnosed as CNS IgG4-RD fro...

Sparse autoencoders for unsupervised health assessment of a concrete dam

This study explores the application of dynamic monitoring combined with Sparse AutoEncoder (SAE) networks applied to acceleration time series for identifying and locating structural anomalies or material damage and deterioration. Compared to previous approaches proposed in the li...

Directional magnetic field detection with zero-bias surface acoustic wave sensors

Abstract Surface acoustic wave magnetic field sensors are promising candidates in detecting low-amplitude magnetic fields over a broad frequency range. For sensor arrays and portable systems, operating without an external magnetic bias field is essential for reducing system compl...

A multi task deep learning framework for automated health condition prediction from retinal fundus images using hybrid attention and explainable AI

Abstract Although retinal fundus imaging is a non-invasive tool to assess systemic and fundus pathology, current deep learning algorithms are mostly single-task, lack clinical interpretability and are unable to handle acquisition variation between different domains. These constra...

The context of support: The role of school administrative structures in mathematics achievement for gifted adolescents in PISA 2022 and HSLS:09

Persistent excellence gaps document disparities in advanced achievement, particularly in mathematics. The study examined student- and school-level correlates of mathematics achievement among adolescents scoring at or above the dataset-specific 90th percentile in mathematics by em...

Circadian dynamics provides a novel method for assessing and mitigating urban light pollution

Practical solutions for light pollution from Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) that balancing urban lighting with biological well-being remain challenging. Here we used a mammalian circadian-clock model to systematically explore how the intensity and duration of ALAN affect circad...

From chronic disease burden to cognitive decline: a systematic review of multimorbidity in older adults

Abstract Background Multimorbidity is common in older adults and has been associated with adverse cognitive outcomes. However, findings remain heterogeneous because of differences in multimorbidity definitions, cognitive measures, and study designs. This review aimed to synthesiz...

Multimodal learning analytics infrastructure and adaptive digital assessment

Abstract This study empirically validates a theoretically grounded framework linking Multimodal Learning Analytics (MMLA) infrastructure components to adaptive digital assessment outcomes. Drawing on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles and learning analytics theory, we...
