A customisable environmental sensor proof-of-concept to enable prescription medicine reuse

Abstract The main barriers preventing medicine reuse are concerns of costs and safety risks. To address this, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept Smart Packaging and Returns Assessment System (SPaRAS): A customisable smart sensor that validates the storage conditions of medicines w...

ASSESSING DIETARY HABITS AMONG PREPARATORY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN KARBALA CITY / 2025

Introduction: Adolescents face growing global health risks from unhealthy eating behaviors, and Iraq is no exception. Years of conflict, economic pressures, and social change have altered the diets of Iraqi teenagers, leading to both undernutrition and rising levels of overweight...

Gradient usability in few-qubit quantum Neural Networks: A signal-to-noise ratio framework for evaluating mitigation strategies

The barren-plateau problem—the exponential flattening of optimization landscapes—severely limits the trainability of quantum neural networks (QNNs) on near-term hardware. This review examines ansatz-design and complementary mitigation strategies for few-qubit QNNs under finite-sh...

One-Source Awareness Model (OSAM) — 一元同源觉知模型

The One-Source Awareness Model (OSAM) is a self-consistent ontological framework constructed through literary narration and mathematical formalism. All speculative reasoning originates from independent pure deduction, without reference to religious doctrines or existing theories....

Coherence Physics Research Program: A Living Map of SCFL/UCMS Operators, Evidence Status, and Open Replication Gaps

A living scientific program map for the Standard Coherence Fidelity Layer (SCFL) and the Upstream Coherence Measurement Stratum (UCMS) research canon. This document distinguishes explicitly between established parent literatures (critical transitions, cascading failure, resilienc...

Prevalence of cervical human papillomavirus infections and cytological abnormalities in asymptomatic women living with HIV in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Cervical cancer from persistent HPV infection is the leading cause of cancer death among Sub-Saharan African women. We here addressed the existing knowledge gap concerning the prevalence of HPV infection and cervical lesions in asymptomatic women living with HIV (WLWH) in Addis A...

No Set Carries Exactly Three Dense Linear Orders without Endpoints: A Proof in a Weak Zermelo Theory without Choice or Replacement

Let Z_sep be the theory consisting of Extensionality, Pairing, Infinity, Union, Power Set, and the full Separation schema. Neither Choice, Replacement, Foundation, nor any form of Countable Choice is assumed. For a standard finite n ≥ 1, the notation s(X) = n abbreviates a first-...

Indicator system for regional public health emergency response capacity based on ternary space theory: construction and empirical study in China

Abstract Background Establishing a comprehensive national public health emergency management system is essential for ensuring population health. However, pronounced disparities in economic development and healthcare resources among China’s provinces have led to heterogeneous publ...

Reducing complications after resection of pelvic bone sarcomas

Aims: Primary pelvic bone sarcomas are rare and their treatment remains complex, with reconstruction after resection remaining controversial due to high complication and revision rates. Both prosthetic and non-prosthetic reconstructions carry risks including infection, implant fa...

Assessment of drought hazard change across agro-climatic regions of India under 2 °C, 3 °C and 4 °C warming levels based on CMIP6 projections

Abstract Background Over half of India’s agricultural land relies on rainfall, and changes in drought frequency, duration, and intensity directly impact agricultural productivity and water resources. However, comprehensive evaluations of composite drought hazards across the natio...

Oncology

The August 2026 Oncology Roundup 360 looks at: Coverage of wounds with perforator or traditional flaps following sarcoma resection; Wait, scan, and then? Exploring the long-term natural course of 119 low-grade central cartilaginous lesions of the long bones with MRI follow-up; Im...

Botryococcus braunii strain Showa in annular photobioreactors under artificial light

Abstract Botryococcus braunii strain Showa (race B) is a green microalga able to release long chain hydrocarbons, suitable for use as energy-rich compounds for biofuel applications, but also for high-value markets, like cosmetics. Its ability to grow in annular reactors up to 60...

Effects of early adulthood chronic sleep disruption on late life cognition, brain pathology, and microglial reactivity in the PS19 mouse model of tauopathy

Abstract A bidirectional relationship has been proposed between sleep and Alzheimer’s disease pathology, such that disruption to sleep can lead to increases in the expression of tau or its phosphorylation. Over the long term, this can potentially lead to greater expression of neu...

STABILITY INDICATING METHOD DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION FOR THE ESTIMATION OF CARVEDILOL AND IVABRADINE BY RP-HPLC METHOD

This study deals with the development and validation of a stability-indicating RP-HPLC method for the quantitative estimation of Carvedilol and Ivabradine in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage preparations. Both agents are widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases: Carv...

MICROBIAL ASSIMILATION AND ENZYMATIC DEPOLYMERIZATION OF NATURAL RUBBER BY MUCOR SP. ISOLATED FROM RUBBER LATEX CONTAMINATED SOIL

Rubber products are widely used in our daily life these products are mainly made up of Natural rubber (NR) which is obtained from the latex of tree Hevea brasiliensis commonly called Rubber tree. After usage of these natural rubber products the disposal of these products are the...

A HYBRID XGBOOST–GRAPH NEURAL NETWORK FRAMEWORK FOR POWER SYSTEM VOLTAGE STABILITY PREDICTION

The increasing penetration of distributed generation and the dynamic, nonlinear nature of modern power systems have rendered traditional model-based voltage stability assessment methods inadequate, particularly because they cannot capture both feature-level nonlinearities and top...

Frequency of therapeutic drug monitoring in inpatient precision depression care and duration of hospitalization

Abstract In psychiatry, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is routinely used to improve treatment safety and efficacy, yet its association with hospitalization duration and cost-effectiveness remains unclear. We hypothesized that the frequency of routinely requested TDM is associa...

BARRIERS FOR ROUTINE IMMUNIZATIONS AMONG UNDER SIX YEARS CHILDREN IN MOSUL CITY

Background: Immunization remains the most effective and cost-effective public health tool against vaccine-preventable diseases in children, yet regional disparities in coverage persist worldwide because of funding gaps and health-system weaknesses. Aim: To assess the barriers to...

The Chain of Custody: A Decision-Level Model for AI Governance

Organisations governing AI accumulate controls by accretion, producing a set whose shape nobody can describe: it is unclear where a new control belongs, how strong an existing one is, or what is missing. This paper offers a decomposition along an axis that existing frameworks do...

Waste (Bio)acidification and Placement Strategies for Phosphorus Recycling in Maize

Abstract Purpose Phosphorus (P) recycling is critical to secure global P supply and food security. Although acidification with sulfuric acid (SA) effectively increases water-extractable P (WEP) and phytoavailability of P in raw biowastes, its use is constrained by handling, safet...
