Integrating Graphical and Formal Modelling to Analyse the Impact of Cyberattacks on Safety of Networked Control Systems

Over recent years, the number of cyberattacks on safety-critical systems, including railways, has been rapidly increasing. To analyze the impact of cyberattacks on safety, we need to create methods supporting a systematic and rigorous analysis of system behavior in the presence o...

Retrieval processes, phenomenology, and importance for self-identity of unique vs. repeated events in autobiographical memory

Abstract Studies on autobiographical memory (AM) have primarily focused on unique or specific events that had happened at a particular time and place and did not last longer than 24 h. Very little is known about AMs of repeated or general events despite their prevalence and poten...

Safety and Efficacy of Single-Session Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography and Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for the Treatment of Concomitant Gallbladder and Common Bile Duct Stones: A Single-Centre Experience

Background and objectives Cholelithiasis is a commonly encountered biliary disorder in the Asian subcontinent, with a substantial burden observed in the Indian population. A significant proportion of patients admitted with gallbladder stones also present with choledocholithiasis....

Dual-step burr hole with periosteal anchoring technique: a robust method for ventricular catheter fixation – how I do it

Proximal catheter-related complications of ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) and Ommaya reservoir implantation remain an important factor leading to reoperation rates and morbidity. Conventional fixation methods often fail to provide adequate mechanical stability. A shallow outer...

A Comparative Floquet–Lyapunov Study of Perturbation-Induced Halo Orbit Instability in the Earth–Moon System

Halo orbits around the Earth–Moon collinear Lagrange points L1, L2, and L3 underpin the next decade of cislunar activity, from NASA's Artemis Lunar Gateway to China's Queqiao lunar communication relay. Their operational viability depends on how strongly non-idealised forces resha...

Prevalence and risk factors of oral gingivitis among patients attending public and private dental clinics in Harar Town, Eastern Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study

Gingivitis, an early and reversible stage of periodontal disease, is a prevalent oral health problem linked to discomfort, poor quality of life, and progression to periodontitis. Despite being preventable, it remains overlooked in many low-resource settings, including Ethiopia. I...

Acute respiratory distress syndrome in scrub typhus: a systematic review and meta-analysis

PURPOSE: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an important complication of scrub typhus and is associated with substantial mortality. The primary objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to estimate the proportion of hospitalised patients with microbiolo...

Celiac Disease Spectrum Among Patients With Iron Deficiency Anemia: A Retrospective Study From a Tertiary Care Center in Morocco

Background Celiac disease is a chronic immune-mediated enteropathy triggered by gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. Its presentation is variable and may range from classic malabsorptive symptoms to atypical or extraintestinal manifestations. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA...

Does the European Green Deal Reach Microenterprises? Repeated Cross-Sectional Evidence on Resource Efficiency Adoption and Firm-Size Convergence Among EU SMEs

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent the majority of EU businesses and a disproportionate share of its environmental impact, yet longitudinal evidence on their resource efficiency behaviour remains scarce. This study examines whether SME adoption of resource effici...

Enhancing the Survivability of Flexibly Connected Modular Floating Structures Using a Novel Submerged Floating Mooring System

The survivability of modular floating structures operating in harsh marine environments is critical to their safe and reliable deployment. To enhance the survivability of a flexibly connected modular floating platform under extreme sea conditions, a novel submerged floating moori...

E8 Torsional Soliton Braiding for Topological Quantum Error Correction — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240-root lattice's phi-scaled torsion solitons, when driven at 132Hz, undergo non-abelian braiding across Coxeter planes, enabling topologically protected qubits. The non-local entanglement from vertex-rotation symmetry and the EM-stringer polariton binding provide the physic...

Rapamycin‐nanoliposomes target the mTORC1 ‐mediated autophagy–lysosomal and NLRP3 /Caspase‐1 pathways to inhibit nucleus pulposus cell senescence in intervertebral discs

Abstract Nucleus pulposus (NP) cell quiescence maintains intervertebral disc homeostasis, while mTORC1 regulates autophagy–lysosomal function and inflammatory secretion to preserve quiescence—rapamycin specifically targets mTORC1. Herein, we fabricated rapamycin‐nanoliposomes (ra...

Performative Music Education Pathways: Bomba as a Framework for Music Teaching and Learning

For decades, music education has sought models that move beyond the confines of formal instruction. Performative Music Education (PME) offers a framework for meaningful learning experiences, grounded in philosophical perspectives from diverse fields. PME fosters musical skills, k...

A novel pharmacological insight on Blumea balsamifera : profiling bioactive compounds and computational exploration of anti-breast cancer activity

Breast cancer remains the leading cause of female cancer mortality with projections of reaching 3 million cases annually by 2040. This study explored the multitarget potential of Blumea balsamifera ethanol extract against estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), PI3K/Akt and apoptotic sign...

Definability of quantization inputs: a Padoa-style classification and its boundary

Quantum theory carries several discrete or numerical inputs that are routinely described as "not derived" from an underlying substrate. This paper asks a sharper question: for which of these inputs can "not derived" be upgraded to a proof of undefinability, and for which is this...

PAIN MANAGEMENT IN ANKLE SPRAIN USING MARMA CHIKITSA: A CASE STUDY

Ankle sprain is a frequent musculoskeletal injury that commonly presents with pain, swelling, and limited mobility, affecting routine activities and quality of life. Conventional management strategies include rest, immobilization, and pharmacological interventions, which may not...

The Impact of CFO Risk-Taking Behaviour on Corporate Financial Performance: Evidence from the Industrial, Energy, and Petrochemical Sectors in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries

Background: The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has become a central strategic actor in capital-intensive firms; however, little evidence links CFO risk-taking behaviour to firm performance outside developed markets. This study examines how CFO risk-taking affects corporate financi...
