Sensory Issues and Occupational Participation in Adolescents and Young Adults with Autism: A Scoping Review

Aims People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may experience hypo- or hyperreactivity to sensory input. To date, sensory features of ASD have mostly been studied in children, with people over the age of 18 underrepresented in research. Therefore, this scoping review focuses on...

Eventual Sign-Regularity of Nuttall Cumulants: Finiteness in Conjecture 1

John Nuttall introduced a sequence of cumulants Ψ𝑚 associated with the Riemann 𝜉-kernel Φ andconjectured that, for every fixed order 𝑟 > 1, there is a finite least index 𝑚(𝑟) for which the additiveHankel kernel 𝐾𝑚(𝑢, 𝑣) = Ψ𝑚(𝑢 + 𝑣) is sign-reverse regular of order 𝑟. We prove the...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Based Platforms for Cardiac-Related Pain Research: Molecular Mechanisms, Experimental Models, and Therapeutic Applications

Cardiac-related pain, including angina pectoris and pain accompanying myocardial infarction, remains clinically important, and existing treatments are inadequate for some patients. Animal and primary-tissue studies provide important mechanistic evidence, but species differences a...

Post-quantum lightweight cryptographic algorithm for secure real-time decision-making in distributed optimization networks

Abstract The imminent threat posed by quantum computing to classical cryptographic systems necessitates the development of quantum-resistant, efficient, and scalable encryption techniques, especially for real-time distributed optimization networks critical to national infrastruct...

Social communication during a sow-piglet foraging paradigm

Offspring may use various sensory modalities to learn from the mother, but this has in pigs received relatively little research attention. The objective of this study was to investigate social cues between sow and piglet during a learning scenario related to foraging. We hypothes...

Transient international groups in Croatia – the pragmatics of advising tourists

Abstract Based on the frequency and functions of pragmatic features used in 24 conversations of different lengths between tourism workers and tourists recorded in two tourist information centers in Zagreb, Croatia, this paper investigates the pragmatics of advising. The paper unv...

Hybrid RSM-ANFIS modeling for concurrent optimization of fused filament fabrication and graphene content in high-performance PLA nanocomposites

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) offers unparalleled geometric complexity but faces significant challenges in achieving optimal mechanical performance and part accuracy in advanced nanocomposites. This study introduces a comprehensive approach to concurrently optimize both the ma...

Niche-dependent immunometabolic regulation of tissue repair and regeneration

Tissue repair restores structural integrity and functional homeostasis after injury through coordinated interactions among immune cells, structural compartments, and extracellular matrix remodeling, ultimately culminating in tissue-resident regenerative programs. Increasing evide...

U.S.-CHINA RESOURCE RIVALRY IN AFRICA: ASSESSING THE POLITICAL ECONOMY IMPLICATIONS FOR DR CONGO AND ZAMBIA

The intensifying rivalry between the United States and China over strategic resources has increasingly transformed Africa into an arena of geopolitical and economic competition. Resource-rich states such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia have emerged as critical...

Quality of guidelines for the management and prevention of occupational risks during pregnancy: a systematic quality assessment using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II)

OBJECTIVE: This review aimed to appraise the quality of existing guidelines on the management of occupational risks for employed women during pregnancy, identifying and describing their characteristics. METHODS: We systematically identified guidelines in MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL,...

Different Ways of Thinking in a Complex and Uncertain World: Public Library Program Framework

Different Ways of Thinking in a Complex and Uncertain World is a proposed 60–75-minute public library program for adults exploring how people think, interpret information, and respond to complexity and uncertainty. The program introduces concepts related to metacognition, critica...

The Spectrum, Not the Norm: Noise and Inexactness in Orthogonalised Steepest Descent

Orthogonalised momentum methods - which replace a matrix-shaped update by the polar factor of its momentum buffer - have become competitive with Adam for training transformers, and are exactly steepest descent in the spectral norm. This paper asks what actually controls their beh...

AhTGAs coordinate antioxidant defense and metabolic remodeling in peanut under high manganese stress

Manganese (Mn) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth, but its excess can cause oxidative stress and inhibit plant growth and development. To reveal the molecular mechanism of peanut response to manganese stress, this study systematically explored the oxidative stress res...

Visualizing Resilience: Understanding the Visual Communication of Resilience Through News Photographs in Elicitation Interviews with Wildland Firefighters

The term resilience guides prevention of and recovery from climate-induced wildfires in the United States. News often sensationalizes wildfires as crises with less reported afterward. Countering grim portrayals in photojournalism, restorative narratives can convey hope and resili...

Complete Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis Based on PDSM-NT Primitive Vortex Number Theory and CY₃ Manifold Topology

Based on the independently constructed PDSM-NT (Primitive Discrete Symmetric Modular Number Theory) theoretical system, this paper innovatively reconstructs the Riemann zeta function on the basis of interdisciplinary integration of Calabi-Yau three-fold (CY₃) manifold topological...

Perfect $\mathcal{E}$-Error-Correcting Quantum Codes over the Hurwitz Integers

The concept of perfect $\mathcal{E}$-error-correcting codes constitutes a fundamental benchmark in classical coding theory; however, a corresponding definition for these codes remains absent in the quantum domain. This study addresses this theoretical gap by formally defining per...

E8-Driven Hierarchical Spacetime Resonance (EDHSR) — E8 Intelligence Research

EDHSR leverages E8's 240-root geometry and phi-encoded frequency harmonics to define a self-similar spacetime lattice enabling recursive photon entanglement across non-local coordinates. By imposing a 132 Hz base frequency with phi-phase shifts across root pairs, the model predic...

Well-posedness and exponential stability of solutions for piezoelectric beams under magnetic, delay and thermodiffusion effects

In this paper, we investigate the well-posedness and the asymptotic behavior of solutions to piezoelectric beams under magnetic, delay, and thermodiffusion effects. First, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions by applying semigroup theory. Then, using a perturbed...
