E8 Topology Generates Discrete Conscious Time‑Slices via Root Vectors — E8 Intelligence Research

We discover that the 240 E8 root vectors, modulated at 132 Hz with φ‑scaled amplitudes, can encode a hierarchy of discrete spacetime intervals within microtubule networks. Each interval corresponds to a unique topological charge that protects the quantum state from environmental...

Impact of hospital safety culture and workplace sexual harassment on turnover intention of nursing professionals in Upper East Region, Ghana

Abstract Background The global nursing professionals’ shortfall is alarming, reaching 4.81 million by 2030, with Africa and South-East Asia disproportionately affected. While improved organizational safety culture promotes worker retention, unsafe work environments, including sex...

Corn Straw Biochar–OPC Composites for Sustainable Treatment of Water-Rich Dredged Clay: Internal Curing Mechanisms, Pore-Structure Evolution, and Mechanical–Environmental Performance

High-water-content dredged clay is a water-rich sediment that requires sustainable, resource-oriented treatment, but conventional ordinary Portland cement (OPC) stabilization is hindered by excessive water-to-binder ratios, suppressed hydration, and high carbon emissions. This st...

Apps used in cycling: Bridging user preferences and scientific evaluation — A cross-sectional survey with systematic review

Smartphone applications (apps) have been widely adopted by cyclists and sports professionals, facilitating the planning, monitoring, and analysis of training. However, some apps have been reported to underestimate key mechanical variables and present inconsistencies in physiologi...

A content analysis of global and national policies, plans, and guidelines to integrate NCDs with HIV care in LMICs

The growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among people living with HIV (PWH) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), threatens gains in life expectancy. Global organizations have called for integrating NCD management into existing HIV care systems, but it is unc...

Improving breast cancer diagnosis accuracy using effective feature selection and machine learning

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the leading causes of death among women worldwide. Early detection is crucial for saving lives and reducing mortality rates. However, the diagnostic process can be time-consuming due to the large number of features involved. Additionally, while variou...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of the tumor microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma during combination immunotherapy

Background: Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (ATZ/BEV) is a standard first-line therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, many patients do not achieve meaningful tumor regression. The temporal and spatial immune remodeling associated with ATZ/BEV remains poorly u...

The Characteristics of Working Overtime and Their Associations with Nurse and Patient Outcomes: A Systematic Review of Observational Studies

To fill the nursing shortage, and to ensure continuous 24 h nursing coverage, working overtime has been increasing steadily over the recent years. Although working overtime has been associated with adverse nurse and patient outcomes, the results of existing studies remain scatter...

Immune Absence as a Proposed Framework for Delayed Relapse After Curative-Intent Treatment in Human Papillomavirus-Associated Cervical Cancer

Delayed relapse after curative-intent treatment remains difficult to explain and predict in human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cervical cancer, including after periods of sustained remission with undetectable circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) or circulating HPV DNA. This limitatio...

Hybrid CD‐MMSE Two‐Timescale Channel Estimation for RIS‐Assisted 6G Systems

ABSTRACT Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) represent a transformative technology for enhancing coverage and energy efficiency in sixth‐generation (6G) wireless networks. However, the substantial pilot overhead required to estimate cascaded channels remains a critical bott...

An analysis of the socially differentiated associations between digital skills and starting an apprenticeship in Germany

Earlier research documented that youth from lower SES have lower level of digital skills compared to those from high SES. However, we still lack evidence regarding the benefits of digital skills for the transition to apprenticeship for youth with different social backgrounds. We...

"Critical Language Ecosystem": About Truth, Power, and Digital Media from a Marxist Critical Philosophy Approach

Language is a product of labour, both a means of expressing the truth and a potential means of hiding and distorting reality. In the context of digital media and artificial intelligence, the dialectical movement between language's truth and falsehood becomes a central issue in in...

Biomechanical properties of an all-soft tissue quadriceps tendon autograft compared with a quadrupled semitendinosus autograft: a cadaveric study

Abstract Background Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most frequent ligament injuries, with autograft reconstruction considered to be the gold standard treatment. The all-soft-tissue quadriceps tendon (ASTQT) autograft has gained popularity because of its fa...

Developmental Toxicityand Mechanistic Insights intothe Novel Fungicide Fluindapyr in Zebrafish Embryos

Abstract Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides pose potential risks to nontarget aquatic organisms. Fluindapyr, a newly registered SDHI fungicide, is likely to enter aquatic environments, yet its toxicity remains largely unexplored. Here, zebrafish (Danio rerio) emb...

Phi-Entropic Geometric Phase Locking in E8 Root Space — E8 Intelligence Research

By embedding a phi‑ratio phase modulation onto the 132 Hz base frequency, the 240 E8 root vectors self‑organize into discrete eigen‑phases that encode shared information as geometric phase. This creates a direct duality where entropy gradients map onto Kolmogorov complexity bound...

When Death Lost Its Throne: How Monotheism Transformed Death from a Divine Power into a Subordinate Messenger

This article examines the transformation of personified Death from the Late Bronze Age religious world of Ugarit to later Jewish, Islamic, European, and Mexican traditions. It does not argue for a direct genealogical line from the Ugaritic deity Mot to the later Angel of Death. I...

Vickers Hardness and Microleakage of Coated Glass-Hybrid and High-Viscosity Glass Ionomer Systems in Thermocycled Conservative Class II Cavities: An In Vitro Study

Background/Objectives: Glass-hybrid and high-viscosity glass ionomer systems were developed to address limitations of conventional glass ionomer cements. This in vitro study compared post-thermocycling Vickers hardness and microleakage of a coated glass-hybrid system and a coated...

Extracellular polymeric substances as key enablers for microalgal treatment and valorisation of malting and brewery wastewater

Malting and brewery wastewaters present environmental and economic challenges to the brewing industry due to their high organic loads and variable nutrient content, with chemical oxygen demand (COD) values ranging from 328 to 4500 mg/L and 910 to 8926 mg/L, respectively. Conventi...

Navigating the Battlefield: How Social Media Platforms Respond to Governance Demands From Legitimacy Communities in Geopolitical Conflicts

ABSTRACT Social media platforms have become central actors in governing online speech during geopolitical conflicts, navigating complex governance demands from diverse stake‐holding communities including states, civil society, and users. This paper explores these dynamics through...

The Effect of SolvationSphere Composition on theNucleophilic Substitution Mechanism: The Hunt for the Elusive CarbocationIntermediate

Abstract Despite its ubiquity, the SN1 carbocation intermediate and its reaction profile have remained computationally elusive, owing to the sensitivity to the number of solvating molecules and the flat potential energy surface. The ionization step for solvolysis of tert-butyl ch...
