Adult attachment, death anxiety, representation of death, and depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and somatic symptoms in early emerging adulthood: a moderated mediation model

Death anxiety has been increasingly recognized as a transdiagnostic factor associated with a wide range of internalizing symptoms, yet the psychological mechanisms linking existential concerns to psychopathology remain incompletely understood. Drawing on attachment theory and exi...

Causal effects of diabetes and alcohol intake on Dupuytren’s disease: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study in UK Biobank and FinnGen

Background: Dupuytren's disease (DD) is associated with metabolic and lifestyle traits. However, these associations remain uncertain because exposures frequently cluster, and conventional studies are vulnerable to residual confounding and reverse causation. Methods: A two-sample...

FV-COR: Full-View Consistency Constrained Multi-View Representation Learning for Enhanced Recognition Performance

Multi-view representation learning plays a critical role in tasks requiring robust and discriminative feature extraction across multiple perspectives. However, in real-world scenarios, multi-view data often present significant challenges, including varying viewpoint coverage, par...

Revisiting the “Care Penalty” in the Portuguese Labor Market: Uncovering (Gender) Pay Differentials in Long‐Term Care

ABSTRACT Focusing on the distinctive characteristics of the highly gendered long‐term care (LTC) sector, in this study, we analyze wages and earnings within caring sectors through an integrated theoretical approach that includes theories of ageism, compensating wage differentials...

Algorithmic Discovery of Room-Temperature Superconductor Candidates via Topological Stress Filtering in Causal-AI Networks

The precise geometric and topological mechanisms governing high-temperature and potential room-temperature superconductivity (RTS) remain obscured by the mathematical rigidity of continuous differential equations. In this paper, we operationalize the theoretical premise that supe...

Perceived technology readiness of maritime autonomous surface ship technologies

Abstract The advancement of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) represents a major shift in the maritime industry, promising enhanced efficiency, safety, and sustainability in short-sea shipping (SSS). This study explores the technology readiness level (TRL) of core technolo...

Solver-Robust Spectral Relational Geometry in Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations A computational preprint on coordinate-robust, discretization-robust, and cross-solver geometric structure

We investigate whether nonlinear partial differential equations leave a reproducible geometric structure in thejoint space of spectral observables, rather than a single universal scalar invariant. Five nonlinear systems—Burgers, Allen–Cahn, cubic reaction–diffusion, Kuramoto–Siva...

Transient (Pro)renin receptor silencing disrupts proximal tubule development in human kidney organoids

The (pro)renin receptor [(P)RR] plays a crucial role in murine kidney development, but its function in human kidneys remains poorly understood due to the lack of suitable research models. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived kidney organoids recapitulate early kidne...

The Operational Logic of Ecocentrism and Its Critical Reflection: A Žižekian Analysis of Ideological Fantasy

This article examines Slavoj Žižek’s critique of ecocentrism through the lens of Lacanian ideology theory, asking how the ecological crisis is symbolically organized in contemporary discourse. Rather than treating ecocentrism as a coherent ecological doctrine, it approaches it as...

IDEA: AUTO-FORWARDED from the Telegram/breakthrough stream (#654069, division=research, agent=andrew_base44): Andrew's order (Base 44 console): [SELF-BUILD from enhancement #457] Add 0.382 ratio to pattern detection heuristic in E8 engine's root vector bucket mapping at Fibonacci...

Propionic Acid Remodels Mitochondrial Metabolism in SH-SY5Y Cells

Mitochondrial mechanisms are increasingly implicated in complex neurological conditions, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Propionic acid (PPA) is widely used to study mitochondrial dysfunction in preclinical models of ASD. However, the molecular mechanisms that drive PPA...

Tapered drip laterals for sloping agricultural fields

Abstract Tapered drip laterals offer a promising solution to enhance hydraulic performance and reduce energy consumption in horizontal or sloping agricultural fields. However, their design typically relies on iterative numerical procedures, which limit their practical implementat...

Promoting Technological Upgrading in Strategic Industries: Chinese State-Directed Techno-Capitalism in the Semiconductor Industry

Scholarship on new state capitalism posits that states have become increasingly visible in advancing national strategic objectives. Nevertheless, further research is needed to delineate the new extent and forms of state functions. In response, this article examines how states and...

An explainable visual structural health monitoring framework for corrosion diagnosis of steel components using high-resolution UAV images

Reliable corrosion monitoring is essential for maintaining the safety, serviceability, and durability of steel structures. However, most vision-based corrosion monitoring methods have been developed for bridges or exterior steel surfaces, and their applicability to indoor industr...

FidelityEight: Frozen-Protocol Fidelity Measurements of the Distributed Jacobian-Lens Checkpoints

The Jacobian lens ("jlens"), released 2026-07-02 as companion code to the *Verbalizable Workspace* paper, ships with pre-fitted checkpoints for ~36–38 model families. To our knowledge — a bounded-absence claim; see §6 for the search scope — no direct lens-versus-model fidelity me...

Recent Advances and Open Challenges in Mitigating Inference-Time Attacks on Large Language Models

The rapid integration of Large Language Models into high-stakes domains has elevated inference-time attacks into a primary security concern for production deployments. These attacks are adversarial techniques that exploit models exclusively through their input–output interface. T...
