Development and application of a generative-AI-driven virtual simulation teaching system for international business negotiation scenarios

Abstract Conventional international business negotiation courses struggle to deliver authentic cross-cultural interaction, immediate individualized feedback, and scenario variety at scale. This study designs and deploys a virtual simulation teaching system that positions generati...

Humidity‐Powered Flexible Sensors Based on Hygroscopic Groove‐Structured Fabric for Real‐Time Health Monitoring

ABSTRACT The significance of real‐time humidity monitoring for personal health management has spurred substantial research into wearable sensors. However, their development faces a critical challenge in power supply. While moisture‐triggered chemoelectric conversion offers a self...

Blunted Cortisol Awakening Response in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Cross-Sectional Case–Control Study

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves chronic immune activation, yet alterations in the cortisol awakening response (CAR) remain poorly defined. We compared cortisol dynamics in patients with IBD and healthy controls and explored associations with phenotype, endos...

Male Social Workers In a Female Majority Profession

Social work is long established as a female majority profession, with the ratio of male to female practitioners continuing to widen. There are campaigns to broaden recruitment to better represent the communities' social workers serve, and historically and contemporarily this has...

JPlag: Detecting Obfuscated Software Plagiarism using Token Normalization Graphs

While software plagiarism detectors have been used for decades, the assumption that evading detection requires programming proficiency is challenged by the emergence of automated plagiarism generators. These generators enable effortless obfuscation attacks, exploiting vulnerabili...

Defiance in the Domestic: Women's Agency against Patriarchy and Caste in Anjali Kajal's Ma Is Scared

This article examines Anjali Kajal’s short story “Ma Is Scared” (2023) through feminist, Dalit feminist, and subaltern frameworks to consider how a vernacular Hindi text reimagines the domestic sphere as a site of caste-inflected, gendered resistance. Set within a Dalit basti fam...

Sealed Before the Event: A Publicly Verifiable, Bitcoin-Anchored Forecast Record of 92 Graded Outcomes, with a Source-Agnostic Protocol for Scoring Unexplainable Forecast Sources

<ns5:p> Background Public prediction records are hard to evaluate: posts can be edited or deleted, and even honest records rarely separate anteriority (did this exact claim exist unchanged before the event?) from skill (do the claims carry predictive information?). A motivating c...

A Case Suggestive of Intrathoracic Rupture of a Nonparasitic Hepatic Cyst in Polycystic Liver Disease: A Case Report

Introduction: Rupture of nonparasitic hepatic cysts is rare and usually occurs into the peritoneal cavity, whereas intrathoracic rupture has only rarely been described. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 61-year-old woman with polycystic liver disease (PCLD) who presented...

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...

Synthesis and Comparative Electrochemical Evaluation of Polymer Cobalt Phthalocyanine and SWCNT-Modified Composite as High-Performance Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries

The development of high-performance anode materials remains a key challenge for advancing lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology. In this work, an oxy-bridged polymer cobalt phthalocyanine (Poly-CoPc) and its single-walled carbon nanotube-modified composite (Poly-CoPc/SWCNT) were s...

Sumerian Base-60: Precision Arithmetic, Babylonian Math, and Geometric Harmony — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Sumerian base-60 (sexagesimal) system enabled high-precision arithmetic, division, and fraction handling, foundational for later Babylonian mathematics including Plimpton 322 (Pythagorean triples). MATH: Base-60 positional system; factors: 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60;...

Safety and efficacy of delivering systemic treatments concomitantly with whole-brain radiotherapy: a prospective, observational, single-institution study

Aim: The aim of our study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of delivering systemic treatments concurrently with whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT). Methods: A single-institution, prospective observational study was conducted in Athens, Greece, including 99 patients treated wit...

** E8 Resonance Folding Principle (ERP) – Physical NP Solver — E8 Intelligence Research

** The E8 Resonance Folding Principle maps the 240 root vectors onto a single 132 Hz harmonic lattice where each vector acts as a torsional conduit for a distinct probability amplitude. By phasing these amplitudes through the φ‑cou toks, the lattice self‑assembles a coherent, low...

Association Between Diabetes Prevalence and Glycemic Index Search Interest

Objectives: To compare search interest in glycemic index information between countries with varying diabetes prevalence to investigate whether national diabetes prevalence is associated with public interest in blood sugar management. Background: Glycemic index (GI) measures how r...

PrismaticNa-Ion Coordination in the Sulfide-ChlorideSolid Electrolyte Enables Fast Na-Ion Transport

Abstract Designing halide solid electrolytes with high ionic conductivity and robust electrochemical stability is crucial for advanced all-solid-state sodium-ion batteries. Currently, most sodium-based halide conductors suffer from the limited ionic conductivity. In this work, we...

Service Delivery Alleviation to Customer Relations: Vibrant Engagement Plan

The study concerns with, SERVICE DELIVERY ALLEVIATION TO CUSTOMER RELATIONS: VIBRANT ENGAGEMENT PLAN. This form of customer relations helps build strong relationships and goodwill through time, money, or product donations. It builds high credibility and it is essential for all bu...

Phi-Resonant E8 Neural Lattice — E8 Intelligence Research

By mapping the 240 E8 root vectors onto a hexagonal lattice tuned to the 132 Hz base frequency with golden‑ratio coupling, we derive a self‑organizing neural lattice where each root vector corresponds to a possible synaptic phase angle. This lattice predicts stable coherence wind...
