Navigating Cancer Risk: A Grounded Theory of Culturally Anchored Risk Engagement (CARE) Behavior Among Sub-Saharan African Immigrant Men

Abstract Background This grounded theory study explores the cultural beliefs and perceptions that shape cancer-related health behaviors among Sub-Saharan African immigrant (SSAI) men in the United States. Despite growing awareness of poor health outcomes affecting immigrant commu...

From Airwaves to Algorithms: Tracing the Circulation of Community Radio Content into Social Media in Limpopo Province, South Africa

Community radio remains central to local public communication in South Africa, yet its entanglement with platformised media environments is poorly understood. This study examines how content from two community radio stations in Limpopo Province circulates on social media and how...

Vitological Information Ethics: Toward Viability-Oriented Evaluation of Information

This article introduces the concept of Vitological Information Ethics as a complementary interdisciplinary framework for evaluating information from the perspective of system viability. While existing approaches to information ethics primarily focus on truthfulness, privacy, fair...

Seven-Dimensional Life Index (7DLI) Framework

This project implements a seven-dimensional operational framework that quantifies the boundary between life and non-life across seven independent dimensions: Matter (M), Energy (E), Compartmentalization (C), Information (I), Homeostasis (H), Boundary Integration (B), and Evolutio...

Semiboundedness Criteria for H* (the B-Note): Stability, Instability, and the Reduction to a Unit-Window Excursion Question for ζ on the 1-Line

Full proofs of semiboundedness criteria for 1D Schrodinger operators applied to H* = -d2/dy2 + V* + 1/4 with V*(y) = log|zeta(1+iy)| - R(y): a stability criterion (uniform unit-window L1 bound on the negative part, explicit constant), two instability criteria (deep-wide dips; con...

Anti-Obesity Medications in Longevity and Aesthetic Medicine

Anti-obesity medications (AOMs), led by the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) semaglutide and liraglutide and the dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist tirzepatide, have produced substantial weight reduction and growing signals of benefit that extend well beyond adi...

Sustainable Microcystin Removal from Water Using Low-Cost Agricultural Waste Materials

Cyanobacterial blooms are an increasing global concern due to the release of microcystins (MCs), potent hepatotoxins that threaten aquatic ecosystems, livestock, and human health. This study investigated the efficiency of low-cost natural adsorbents—rice straw (R), corn straw (C)...

Long-Term Effects of Tillage Systems on Weeds and Maize Yield in the Transylvanian Plain

This study evaluated the long-term effects of soil tillage systems on weed dynamics and maize (Zea mays L.) yield in the Transylvanian Plain, Romania, over an eight-year period (2018–2025). A long-term field experiment was established under a split-plot design with four tillage s...

A new reproducible, minimally invasive fin-clamp enabling biologging and animal-borne video studies of juvenile sharks

Abstract Background Fine-scale studies of juvenile shark ecology remain limited because existing tags are often too large or invasive to be deployed on sharks <2 m length. Consequently, high-resolution behavioral and physiological data from early life stages are scarce, despit...

Climate Influence on the Adult Phengaris alcon Abundance in the Alvão Natural Park, Northern Portugal

Phengaris alcon is one of Europe’s emblematic invertebrate species and is currently classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. In Portugal, this endangered species occurs mainly in Alvão Natural Park (ANP). This study investigated the effects of microclimatic conditions...

The Relationship between Forest Fragmentation and the Case of Human-Tiger Conflict in the Maninjau Nature Reserve Landscape, Indonesia

Forest fragmentation caused by land use changes has been linked to human-wildlife conflict. However, a clear understanding of how landscape configuration influences conflict incidents remains limited. In Sumatra, studies on human-tiger conflict (HTC) have mainly focused on broad...

Uncertainty-guided 5-DOF UAS path planning optimization for photogrammetric 3D bridge reconstruction

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) offer an efficient solution for photogrammetric 3D reconstruction and inspection of infrastructure, but planning optimal flight paths for complex structures such as bridges remains a significant challenge. This paper presents a theory-driven path pla...

Positive Regulation of Soybean Seed Vigor and Quality by the Zinc Finger Transcription Factor GmPHD3 Under High-Temperature and High-Humidity Stress

Field high-temperature and high-humidity (HTH) stress causes soybean seed deterioration, including shrinkage, moldiness, browning, and reduced germination rate, thereby decreasing seed vigor, emergence performance, and commercial value. Clarifying the molecular mechanisms of seed...
