TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING AND ORAL COMMUNICATION DEVELOPMENT: A BENIN EMPIRICAL STUDY WITH ADVANCED EFL LEARNERS

The development of oral communication remains one of the most challenging aspects of EFL learning, especially for advanced secondary school learners who possess knowledge of English but struggle to communicate effectively in real situations. This study examined the effectiveness...

Beyond Publications: Why Dermatology Needs Research-on-Research (Meta-research)

The rise of articles published in biomedical and life sciences is staggering. The sheer numbers of biomedical publication make it impossible for a practising dermatologist to keep up with the literature and has ramifications for the entire medical publishing industry. Quantity do...

Cannabis sativa L. juice as a novel functional drink ameliorates hyperlipidemia by inhibiting lipid synthesis and oxidative stress

Hyperlipidemia is a major public health concern due to its increasing global prevalence. Hemp seed ( Cannabis sativa L. seed) is a medicinal plant that has gained attention for its potential applications under the “homology of medicine and food” framework. Previous studies sugges...

Mitigation of Acrylamide in Panela: Evaluating Storage and Additive-Based Strategies on Physicochemical Properties and Sensory Quality

Abstract Panela, a traditional non-centrifugal cane sugar sweetener, undergoes intensive thermal evaporation promoting acrylamide (AA) formation through Maillard reactions. This study characterized AA formation throughout traditional panela production in Útica, Colombia, and qua...

THE CARLO FIELD CANON — COSMOLOGICAL, COGNITIVE, BIOLOGICAL, DYNAMICAL, GEOMETRIC & COMPLEXITY RECOGNITION SERIES: Twelve Formal Proofs Demonstrating the Full External Awareness of the Carlo Field

This unified upload contains twelve formally structured mathematical papers that continue directly from the foundational Carlo Field trilogy, extending the field’s reflexive logic outward into cosmology, cognition, biology, dynamics, geometry, complexity, and finally canonical cl...

Path-Governed Data Security: A Framework for Data Path Creation Control

Abstract Conventional data security relies primarily on authentication and access control to prevent unauthorized access to protected data. However, when a legitimate account or credential is compromised, or when authorized privileges are misused, access to data may lead to new d...

Sorgende Gemeinschaften: Performative Praxis des Miteinander-Sorgens

This article examines how “other caring communities” emerge through collective action and in response to the current crisis of care. It explores how these communities take shape through performative and embodied practices of caring with in everyday life under conditions of social...

Securing Marine Assets: Edge ML and LoRa Mesh Integration for IoT Anti-Theft Systems

This paper presents a maritime Internet of Things anti-theft architecture based on an ESP32 onboard node, local motion analysis, and LoRa mesh communication. The proposed detection pipeline uses a one-dimensional convolutional autoencoder trained on stationary vessel data and app...

Damage and Fracture Behavior of Granite, Sandstone, and Basalt Under Liquid Oxygen Blasting: Rock Property Effect and Failure Mechanism

ABSTRACT Liquid oxygen blasting is an efficient nonexplosive rock‐breaking method in geotechnical engineering, yet its rock fragmentation behavior and cross‐section formation mechanism remain unclear. This study systematically investigates the fragmentation characteristics of roc...

Design of a prediction system for intravenous immunoglobulin resistance in hospitalized Kawasaki disease patients with artificial intelligence based on machine learning

Machine Learning (ML) algorithms are widely used as a prediction tool in medicine to support clinical decisions. In this study, the machine learning methods are used to investigate IVIG resistance in Kawasaki disease in a referral center of Iran. This is a retrospective cross-sec...

Optimal Capacity Configuration of a Reversible Solid Oxide Cell-Integrated Electricity–Heat–Hydrogen Energy System Balancing Economic Performance and Renewable Energy Accommodation

To enhance renewable energy accommodation and operational flexibility under high renewable energy penetration, this study proposes a multi-objective optimal capacity configuration method for an electricity–heat–hydrogen integrated energy system incorporating a reversible solid ox...

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and psychometric validation of the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) into European Spanish: a multi-perspective study including peer-assessment

Abstract Background The Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) is the most widely used tool for evaluating emergency team performance, with robust psychometric evidence across multiple languages and settings. However, no European Spanish version has been validated, and no previ...

Critical gaps remain in carbon accounting at mine sites

Accurately accounting for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at mine sites is essential in order to understand how to mitigate these emissions, particularly since substantial increases in the productio...

Hybrid Five-Dimensional Gravity with a Constrained Vector

We study a one-boundary five-dimensional Einstein–AdS construction coupled to one additional bulk carrier, a Maxwell field whose normalisable zero mode is subject to a unit-timelike constraint and nonlinear interaction on the observer boundary. The reduced boundary theory lies in...

Characterization and Preservation of Archaeological Bamboo Cultural Relics: Microstructural, Chemical, and Environmental Perspectives

Bamboo served as an important writing support and raw material for tools and daily objects in ancient Asian societies, yet archaeological bamboo remains far less systematically reviewed than archaeological wood, paper, and parchment. Owing to its lignocellulosic composition and h...

A Scale-Adaptive Framework for Building Generalization via Instruction-Guided Diffusion and Geometry-Aware Vectorization

Abstract Map generalization aims to adapt detailed geospatial data to visualization at different map scales while preserving legibility and geometric consistency. Recent learning-based approaches have shown promising results, but they typically require training separate models fo...

Clinical outcomes of the PAUL ® glaucoma implant for secondary glaucoma

Abstract Purpose Secondary glaucoma encompasses a broad spectrum of disease entities arising from diverse ocular pathologies and is often refractory to conventional treatment. Glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) have therefore become an important surgical option. This study evaluate...

Ultraviolet‐Induced Band Engineering in Black Phosphorus/Gallium Nitride Heterojunction Toward High‐Performance Broadband Photodetection

ABSTRACT Broadband photodetectors that combine ultraviolet sensitivity with visible and near‐infrared response are important for multispectral optoelectronic sensing. However, the performance of these photodetectors is often limited by weak interfacial carrier separation and inef...

Wage Compression is not Enough: Working Hours and Earnings Inequality in Korea, 2000–2023

ABSTRACT This study examines how working hours shaped earnings inequality in Korea during 2000–2023 using a mean log deviation decomposition, which separates earnings inequality into wage dispersion, hours dispersion, and wage—hours covariance. Hours' contribution rose from 12% t...

Biomechanical Determinants of Elbow Varus Moment in Baseball Pitching: A Large-Scale Motion Capture Analysis

ABSTRACT Objective: Elbow varus moment is a risk factor for ulnar collateral ligament injury in baseball pitchers, yet how body mass, pitch speed, and age contribute to elbow loading remains understudied across levels. This study examined whether pitch speed, body mass, and age p...
