Flow Shaping Principle — Correspondence-Calibrated Pathway-Specific Updating

Adaptive systems can assign persistent change to configurations through which consequential episodes pass. This paper formulates the Flow Shaping Principle (FSP) as a falsifiable claim about veridical consequence-configuration correspondence. FSP concerns active updating only. Fo...

Libraries and Their Role in the Scholarly Renaissance during the Umayyad Era in al-Andalus (138–422 AH)

تناولت هذه الدراسة موضوع المكتبات ودورها في النهضة العلمية في عهد الدولة الأموية في الأندلس، بوصفها أحد أهم المرتكزات الحضارية التي أسهمت في ازدهار الحياة الفكرية والعلمية. وهدفت الدراسة إلى إبراز نشأة المكتبات وتطورها، سواء كانت مكتبات عامة أو خاصة، مع التركيز على الجهود التي بذ...

Improving methods for identifying pair bonds in animal social networks

In social animals, maintaining strong bonds with conspecifics can be important for reproduction and survival. However, it remains unclear how best to quantify these bonds. Existing social network techniques typically focus on building robust overall networks of co-occurrences but...

A Conjecture of Matter:Gravitational Bastion Mathematical Framework—— Analytical Boundary Conditions for Planetary Attitude Evolution in the Outer Solar System

This paper presents an analytical mathematical framework for investigating the gravitational constraints imposed by the coupled giant‑planet system on the rotational evolution of inner bodies in the outer Solar System. Within this framework, the Saturn–Neptune 2:5 orbital resonan...

End of life in the ICU: A scoping review of factors associated with moral distress in critical care nurses

BACKGROUND: Moral distress is common among critical care nurses providing end-of-life (EOL) care, yet contributing factors are not fully synthesized. PURPOSE: To summarize the literature on factors influencing moral distress in adult ICU nurses delivering EOL care. METHODS: A sco...

Determinants of access to healthcare for elderly people in the city of Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Introduction : L’accessibilité aux soins de santé demeure un défi majeur de santé publique en R.D. Congo surtout au groupe vulnérable. Ce travail de recherche explore les déterminants d’accessibilité aux soins de santé des personnes âgées à Bukavu. Matériel et méthodes : Notre ét...

Cultural Values in Basic Education Curricula: An Analysis of the Fifth-Grade Reading Textbook According to a Cultural Values Framework

هدفت الدراسة إلى الكشف عن مستوى تضمين القيم الثقافيّة في كتاب اللغة العربيّة «الفينيق» للصفّ الخامس الأساسيّ في المدارس العربيّة في الداخل الفلسطينيّ، وتحديد مدى تكامل حضورها في النصوص والأنشطة والصور، واتساقها مع التوجّهات التربويّة الحديثة. واعتمدت الدراسة المنهج الوصفيّ التحلي...

Nursing Comprehension: Is There a Checkbox for That?

The beginning of my nursing career coincided with the end of the paper-charting era. Every letter or digit I recorded was entered manually and with intention, and each shift ended with at least 1 narrative note. I was required to pause and synthesize all assessments, clinical cha...

Environmental risk assessment for genetically modified microalgae

Advances in genomic techniques have great potential to accelerate the development of the microalgal sector and to address key challenges related to upscaling. Genetically modified microalgae (GMM) can exhibit enhanced biomass productivity, increased accumulation of valuable bioco...

From concept to practice: How agricultural and forestry living labs are implemented within European funded projects

Living Labs (LLs) have gained prominence in European research and innovation as mission-oriented, place-based approaches for jointly developing solutions to complex agricultural and forestry challenges. Despite this growing institutional momentum, the operational meaning of LLs r...

Reconstructing the Concept of the Poets’ Fuḥūlah in Arabic Literary Criticism: An Analytical Reading of Abdullah Al-Maṭānī’s Critical Vision

يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة قضية فحولة الشعراء في النقد العربي القديم من خلال تحليل رؤية الدكتور عبد اللّه المعطاني، والكشف عن منهجه في إعادة بناء هذا المصطلح النقدي في ضوء المناهج النقدية الحديثة. وينطلق البحث من تتبع الأصول اللغوية والاصطلاحية لمفهوم الفحولة، واستقراء تطوره في الم...

Longitudinal dynamics of the maternal gut virome associate with metabolic features of preterm birth

Preterm birth (PTB) remains a major pregnancy complication, yet the role of the maternal gut virome in its etiology is largely unknown. Here we show that the maternal gut virome undergoes ecological destabilization prior to PTB, coupled with distinct host metabolic remodeling. Ne...

Democratic Participation of Sudanese Women in Decision-Making Positions (40 BC–2019 AD)

هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى تتبّع مسيرة المشاركة الديمقراطية للمرأة السودانية في مواقع صنع القرار خلال المدة الممتدة من عام 40 ق.م إلى عام 2019م، والكشف عن أدوارها السياسية والاجتماعية والاقتصادية والثقافية، وبيان أثر مشاركتها في تطور الدولة والمجتمع السوداني. واعتمدت الدراسة المنهج الت...

QUANTA: A Quantum-Compute Threat Axis for Cross-Framework Verification Systems

Established threat-modeling frameworks contain no dedicated axis for quantum-compute threats. The individual threats are well studied, harvest-now-decrypt-later, Grover/Shor capability escalation, quantum side-channels, and circuit fingerprinting each have an active literature, b...

A Two-Space Scale-Invariant Direct Multisearch Method for Mixed-Variable Multiobjective Optimization

Many multiobjective black-box problems combine continuous, ordered-discrete, and categorical variables. Direct search on such domains requires a geometry that respects each variable type and is insensitive to arbitrary scaling, spacing, and labeling. We propose DMS-SI-Mix, a dete...

CHIRAGE: A Morphic-Polymorphic Threat Axis for Deception-Based Defensive Systems

Established threat-modeling frameworks, STRIDE for security and LINDDUN for privacy, contain no category for the threats specific to deception-based defensive systems: systems that protect assets by morphing, mimicking, or concealing their own state. Such systems are increasingly...

The Inward Structural Dimension Hypothesis: Scale-Extended Objects, Perceptual Compression, and Dimensional Access

The Inward Structural Dimension Hypothesis (ISDH) proposes a formal representation of physical objects using three ordinary spatial coordinates and an additional coordinate of inward structural depth. The coordinate I orders the progression from macroscopic form through progressi...

Provable Compliance without Full Ledger Disclosure

Supervisors need reliable assurance over balances, issuance, and transaction integrity. Institutions need toprotect sensitive financial data. Traditional audit practice often resolves this tension by granting broad accessto ledgers. That approach is effective, but costly in priva...

Comparative Implementation of a Zero-Knowledge Settlement Layer across Five Proof Systems: Design Findings and Measurements

We present a comparative implementation of the same financial settlement circuit in five zero-knowledge proofsystems—Groth16, Halo2/IPA, STARK/FRI, PLONK/KZG, and Nova/folding—and report the design consequencesthat appear only when the comparison is performed on a complete statef...

From Institutional Trust to Verifiable Properties

Financial settlement systems rely heavily on institutional trust: intermediaries maintain ledgers, certifycompliance, and prevent unauthorized creation or movement of value. Zero-knowledge (ZK) techniques make itpossible to replace part of that trust with verifiable properties. T...
