Mating-Induced Behavioral Changes in Female Drosophila Are Modulated by Serotonin

Mating influences the physiology of female animals and induces changes in behaviors associated with securing resources for their offspring. Modulatory neurotransmitters are known to adjust behavioral responses of animals according to environmental cues and internal physiological...

Opening spaces for collaborative innovation: understanding the value of hackathons for the Blue Bioeconomy.

Prepint for our article titled "Opening spaces for collaborative innovation: understanding the value of hackathons for the Blue Bioeconomy" from the Blue Bio Techpreneurs project (https://bluebiotechpreneurs.eu/). Abstract: The blue bioeconomy is an emerging field of sustainabili...

Machine Learning-Based Crisis Detection Framework for Banking Systems: A Case Study of Nigeria

Banking crises are a persistent threat to macroeconomic stability in emerging markets, where conventional econometric monitoring frameworks often fail to capture non-linear macro-financial relationships. This paper examines whether machine learning algorithms can improve the dete...

Thin Film Deposition Technology and Electrochromism: A Review of Techniques, Materials, and Applications

Thin film deposition technology underpins a vast range of modern devices, from microelectronics and optical coatings to energy storage and smart-window systems. This paper presents a structured review of the principal thin film deposition techniques — physical vapor deposition (t...

Reduced glymphatic function in autism revealed by the diffusion tensor analysis along the perivascular space index

The glymphatic system supports brain homeostasis by clearing interstitial solutes via perivascular pathways. Alterations in glymphatic function have been linked to neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, but its role in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains unclear....

Ribosomal protein bL27 protects translating ribosomes from tmRNA-SmpB

Bacterial ribosomal protein bL27 is universally conserved, and its amino terminus is adjacent to the peptidyl transfer center, yet its roles in translation remain unclear. Combining genetics, biochemistry, and molecular dynamics, we show that bL27 has an unexpected role in preven...

Effects of Blood Flow Restriction Training on Explosive Power in Athletes: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis

Abstract Dong, Y, Shi, B, and Li, C. Effects of blood flow restriction training on explosive power in athletes: A systematic review with meta-analysis. J Strength Cond Res 40(9): 1147–1159, 2026—The primary objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to quantify the...

Phenomic Medicine and Metabolic Disease Trajectories: Measuring and Modelling the Health to Disease Continuum

Abstract Phenomic medicine is an emerging field that involves measurement and modelling of multidimensional phenotypic data to provide a systems-level framework to understand how health and disease evolve over time and inform decision making in a clinical context . Unlike genomic...

Facilitators of and barriers to interprofessional learning between nurses and physiotherapists in hospital-based clinical practice: A scoping review

Introduction Effective collaboration depends on mutual understanding of professional roles and responsibilities, making sustainable interprofessional learning (IPL) an integral part of hospital clinical practice. In this context, learning and collaboration reinforce one another a...

Governing the Recovery of Stalled Systems-of-Systems: ADAPT, a Dependency-Anchored Methodology, with Multi-Case Feasibility Illustrations

Systems-of-systems (SoSs) integrate constituents that retain operational and managerial independence, and that independence leaves their engineering artifacts prone to drift: changes fail to propagate, misalignment surfaces late, and outputs accumulate that trace to no validated...

Aerobic Denitrification Reactor with Pseudomonas chloritidismutans K14 Improves Water Quality and Growth of Hybrid Grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀ × Epinephelus lanceolatus ♂) in RAS

The intensification of mariculture has increased nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in aquaculture wastewater. Conventional treatments often prove inefficient under saline conditions. To address this challenge, we developed an innovative aerobic denitrification reactor using Pseud...

Developing interactive learning interfaces for teaching AI in health professions education using generative AI tools

Health professions education (HPE) must now equip students to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools safely. We offer an instructional design strategy for HPE educators aiming to teach fundamental AI concepts to non-technical audiences: using generative AI to rapidly create inter...

The germ layer: foundation of mesenchymal stem cell therapeutic destiny

Abstract Stem cells represent a pivotal resource in clinical applications. Accumulating evidence indicates that their functional properties are closely associated with their tissue origin, particularly embryonic germ layer specification, which may govern the developmental heterog...

Health Literacy, Psychological Distress and Fertility Attitudes Among Postpartum Women: A Mediation Analysis

Background/Objectives: Declining fertility rates pose a major demographic and public health challenge across Europe, including Croatia. Although health literacy and psychological well-being may influence reproductive decision-making, their relationships with fertility attitudes r...

Energy drink consumption among undergraduate students: Prevalence, regional variations, associated factors, and adverse effects – A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background Energy drink (ED) consumption is common among undergraduate students and has been linked with adverse health outcomes, including sleep disturbances, cardiovascular effects, and risk-related behaviours. Aim This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of ED consumption a...

Topological Plasma Physics: A Three-Axiom Framework for Kinetic Theory, Collective Dynamics, Transport, Magnetohydrodynamics, Fusion, and Plasma Diagnostics

We develop a unified framework for modern plasma physics from three physical axioms: microscopic ontic definiteness and finite localization, the physical reality of the spacetime-vacuum substrate, and persistent causal source–response coupling. Charged particles are represented a...

Optimizing a long‐term monitoring strategy to track emerging cyanobacterial blooms in a Great Lakes estuary

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) are increasingly frequent and severe globally. Recently, the St. Louis River Estuary (SLRE) has experienced numerous cHABs, but the locations, timing, and environmental conditions associated with them are unknown. We first investigated...

Relearning the Political Alphabet: Levertov’s Language Ethics from Vietnam to the Present

This article argues that Denise Levertov’s Vietnam-era poetry develops a poetics of language ethics: a formal practice through which words are tested against bodies, suffering, agency, and moral judgment. Focusing on “During the Eichmann Trial,” “Life at War,” and “Prologue: An I...
