Period poverty in Nigeria: a scoping review of its drivers and implications among women of reproductive age

Abstract Background Period poverty, broadly defined as the lack of access to menstrual products, safe water and sanitation, and menstrual health education, disproportionately burdens women and girls in low- and middle-income countries. In Nigeria, an estimated 37 million women an...

PFUSRC-132J Logic Alignment, Redundancy and Axiom Selection: Seven-Layer Ontology for AI Fundamental Review Subtitle: AI Is Sufficient; Humanity Lacks Courage

This paper from an Independent Researcher identifies three core structural defects limiting artificial intelligence research: incomplete genuine logic alignment, redundancy misclassified as resource waste, and axiomatic presuppositions mistaken for cosmic truths. Under the PFUSRC...

Topological–Historical Continuum Mechanics: A Three-Axiom Framework for Finite Deformation, Plasticity, Defects, Memory, Fracture, Contact, Waves, Structural Reduction, and Certified Computation

We construct a unified framework for continuum mechanics from three physical axioms: microscopic ontic definiteness and finite localization, physical reality of the spacetime–vacuum substrate, and persistent causal source–response coupling. Continuum fields are defined through co...

Rapid Corneal Melt From Dual Acanthamoeba and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Keratitis

Abstract: A 27-year-old woman, contact lens wearer, visited the ophthalmology department with acute ocular pain, photophobia, and a reduction in visual acuity. A slit-lamp examination was performed, and the signs were a central corneal ulcer along with corneal thinning, hypopyon,...

The influence of Polycomb and Trithorax Group function on the sexually dimorphic abdomen pigmentation of Drosophila melanogaster

Abstract Animal traits develop through intricate patterns of gene expression that are regulated at multiple levels. This regulation includes interactions between transcription factors and cis-regulatory element (CRE) DNA sequences, and the dynamic accessibility of CREs due to chr...

Domain-specific neural correlates of self-evaluation in relation to sense of acceptance and rejection

Abstract Sociometer theory proposes that self-esteem reflects a global index of perceived relational value, whereas experiences of acceptance and rejection may be integrated more proximally through specific self-evaluation. Yet it remains unclear how perceived relational states t...

Review on Metal Micro-Hole Machining and Its Composite Machining Technologies: Current Status and Progress

The advanced manufacturing of metal micro-holes is of great significance in various fields of industrial production, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, and healthcare. New technologies are constantly emerging, including various multi-energy field manufacturing technolo...

A Modified Constrained Groove Pressing Process (MCGP) for Enhanced Strength and Microstructural Refinement of Deoxidized High-Phosphorus (DHP) Copper Sheets: Potential Implications for Marine Component Reliability

Deoxidized high-phosphorus (DHP) copper is widely used in marine heat-exchangers and seawater piping, where long-term structural reliability demands both high strength and a deformation-tolerant microstructure to resist damage initiation. Constrained groove pressing (CGP) is a sc...

Pseudo-tumoral left-colonic tuberculosis causing acute large-bowel obstruction: a case report and review of the literature

Introduction and importance: Gastrointestinal tuberculosis predominantly affects the ileocecal region, while isolated left colonic involvement remains rare. Its nonspecific clinical, radiological, and endoscopic features frequently mimic colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel di...

Dynamic Active Site Generation on CuO x /γ-Al2O3 Catalysts for CO Oxidation

Abstract Most heterogeneous catalysts undergo dynamic changes under reaction conditions. In this study, the redox properties and dynamic behavior of CuOx/γ-Al2O3 catalysts were characterized using in situ FTIR, quasi-in situ XPS, and HS-LEIS (high-sensitivity low-energy ion scatt...

Investigating “Another Me” digital twin technology to support the development of human relationships: An exploratory randomized controlled study

Social anxiety disorder has a considerable negative impact on educational attainment, employment status, and relationship development. Exposure therapy is an established method used to treat social anxiety by getting patients used to talking to other people. However, this procedu...

Taguchi optimization of hardness and wear characteristics of Co–Cr reinforced bronze hybrid composites fabricated by powder metallurgy

Abstract All manufacturing sectors, especially mechanical engineering, depend heavily on copper alloys. The goal of this research is to create hybrid bronze composites by adding particles as reinforcements to improve the mechanical and wear characteristics of bronze. Bronze serve...

Deep Learning in Lunar Regolith Image Processing: A Review

Recent lunar missions have generated a growing demand for automated and reliable processing of lunar regolith images. However, imaging degradations, limited annotations, and the lack of paired clean–degraded reference data still hinder the robustness and transferability of existi...

Comparison of clinical and dermoscopical nail findings of rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis: A prospective study

Psoriasis (PsO), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are chronic inflammatory disorders classified as immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). Although these diseases share common pathogenic mechanisms, they can affect diffe...

Genetics of sensory nutrition

Sensory nutrition is an emerging research area that examines how chemosensory perception, particularly taste and smell, shapes dietary behaviours, nutritional status, and disease risk. Variation in how individuals perceive the same foods may help explain differences in diet quali...

ABSTRACT:Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine syndrome affecting women ofreproductive age, characterized by hormonal imbalance, irregular menstrual cycles, andmetabolic disturbances. The increasing limitations and side effects associated with conventionaltherapi...

SYSTEM EVOLUTION PROPOSALS (rlab #98) — E8 Intelligence Research

- Add a pipeline to parse Qumran calendar dates (364-day year, 52 weeks) and convert to E8 lattice coordinates for backtesting trading engines - Integrate a sacred-geometry coordinate transformer (phi-spiral, vesica piscis) into the decipherment agents for Copper Scroll analysis...

A hybrid deep reinforcement learning framework for proactive cloud network intrusion detection using spatiotemporal feature learning

Traditional signature-based and static machine-learning-based intrusion detection systems (IDSs) have limited ability to adapt to changing traffic characteristics, and dynamic cloud-based infrastructures are increasingly vulnerable to new and zero-day attacks. Given this drawback...

Multivariate classification for ggH → ZZ* → 4ℓ using Boosted Decision Trees

This analysis is performed using the publicly available ATLAS Open Data 2015–2016 (Run 2), corresponding to proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of \(\sqrt{s}=13\,\text{TeV}\). We study the Higgs boson decay channel \(gg\mathrm{H}\to H\to ZZ^{*}\to4\ell\) using...

E8 Quantum Consciousness Resonance Cascade — E8 Intelligence Research

By mapping the 240 E8 root vectors to neural firing patterns at 132Hz harmonics, consciousness emerges as a phi-coupled eigenstate cascade through the lattice. The 132Hz base frequency corresponds to the golden ratio progression of neural assembly firing rates, where each root ve...
