Community Ownership Dynamics of Village Savings and Loan Associations (Vsla) and their Contribution to Reducing Rural Poverty in the Municipality of Dangbo, Benin.

ABSTRACT Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) have become an important community-based mechanism for poverty reduction in rural Benin. Despite the withdrawal of technical and financial partners, the expansion of formal microfinance institutions, and microfinance regulati...

Multi-Sensor Mapping of Aquatic Vegetation Using Sentinel-2, SAR–Optical Fusion and Derived Spectral and SAR Indices in South Florida

Accurate mapping of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) and emergent aquatic vegetation (EAV) is essential for hydrologic assessment and wetland management. This study developed and evaluated a multi-sensor aquatic vegetation mapping framework using Sentinel-1 SAR, Sentinel-2 opti...

Totemism Spirituality as Ecological Ethic

This research qualitatively examines the potential of totemic spirituality, a fundamental principle of Shona Indigenous knowledge, to mitigate ecological deterioration in Zimbabwe. Using a conceptual qualitative analysis based on secondary literature and the Shona Indigenous Know...

Postbiotics and Paraprobiotics as Next-Generation Gut Microbiome Modulators in Sustainable Aquaculture Health

Widespread antibiotic use in aquaculture has increased selective pressure on resident bacterial communities, accelerating the emergence of resistance in key pathogens and raising concerns for animal health, environmental microbiomes, and food-chain safety. Reducing dependence on...

Climate Change Awareness and Impact In Ecological Zones of Tropical Rainforest and Guinea Savannah of South-Western Nigeria

The impact of climate change on the Tropical Rainforest and Guinea Savannah vegetation zones is a global and regional concern due to their high biodiversity and role in regulating carbon, water, and nutrient cycles. Recent environmental changes are linked to rising atmospheric ca...

A YOLO enhanced deep learning model for efficient and scalable deepfake detection for real-time facial forgery recognition in digital media

Deep fake technology has significantly advanced the creation of synthetic images and videos, sparking widespread concerns about its potential misuse in spreading misinformation, violating privacy, and enabling identity theft. As these manipulations be-come increasingly sophistica...

E8-Phi Hyperbolic Echo Chamber for Instant Data Encoding — E8 Intelligence Research

By driving the 240 E8 root vectors with phi‑modulated 132 Hz and its 8th harmonic 1056 Hz, the lattice vacuum forms a self‑similar hyperbolic tiling that hosts phonon modes acting as an echo chamber. The cascade resonance across successive root shells creates phase‑locked hyper‑d...

Reorientation dynamics of water and ice in partially crystalline gelatin–water mixtures

We combine 2H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) with broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) to investigate reorientation dynamics of water and ice in partially crystalline 30 and 45 wt. % gelatin-water mixtures. For water, NMR and BDS correlation times agree and follow an Arrheni...

A multimodal deep learning method based on multiple medical images for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy diagnosis

To establish a multimodal deep learning network for the automated diagnosis of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). The ResNet-50 neural network was trained and validated using patients with FECD, patients with other corneal endothelial disorders, and healthy controls. At...

The Epigenetic Architecture of Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma: Lineage Erasure, Immune Escape, and Therapeutic Reprogramming

Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is distinguished by a rare population of Hodgkin and Reed–Sternberg (HRS) cells that has largely extinguished its germinal center (GC) B-cell identity while maintaining survival, immune escape, and dependence on a highly organized tumor microenvir...

Measurement Invariance of the Brief State Rumination Inventory Across Administration Methods, National Samples, and Sex

State rumination is a temporary activation of repetitive, negative, self-focused thinking in response to specific situational triggers or mood states. We present the results of two studies that examined the psychometric properties and measurement invariance of the Italian version...

Torn from the root: a memoir of a Black transracial adoptee

This book is written from an insider’s perspective, written in memoir form, regarding transracial adoption. The author is an American Black female who was adopted into a white evangelical family in...

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) Risk Indicators and Cardiovascular Responses to HIIT Under Heat Conditions in Female Basketball Players

This study aimed to identify differences in hemodynamic responses, blood pressure, cardiac recovery, and orthostatic responses between female basketball players with risk indicators of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) and control players following high-intensity interv...

Application of machine learning in predicting of MB2 canal in permanent maxillary first and second molars: A CBCT study

Objectives The aim of this study is to apply Machine learning (ML), a key subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in predicting second mesiobuccal (MB2) canals in both maxillary first molars (MFMs) and maxillary second molars (MSMs) using the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) i...

Slavery in All but Its Name

This paper argues that the political and racial conflicts of the Reconstruction era produced enduring structural patterns that continue to shape American politics, law, and geography. Drawing on primary statutes, legal history, and contemporary policy analysis, it traces three in...

Free \(\mu ^{+}\mu ^{-}\) and Bound-free \(e^{+}e^{-}\) Pair Production in Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions

In our previous studies, we calculated the cross section for the production of free \(\mu ^{+}\mu ^{-}\) pairs using a probability function dependent on the impact parameter, and also, we computed bound-free \(e^{+}e^{-}\) pair production cross section. In this study, unlike the...

Fluid–Structure Interaction Simulation of a Supersonic Reefed Parachute Cluster During the Inflation Process

To investigate the multi-stage inflation mechanism of a supersonic reefed parachute cluster, an ALE-based fluid–structure interaction method is applied. The canopy permeability is modeled using the Ergun equation, and the virtual structure contact method is employed to handle con...

Parents' perspectives of schooling following the 2020-2022 Civil War in Tigray, Ethiopia: Insights from urban government schools

This study explores parents’ perspectives of schooling in Tigray, Ethiopia, in the aftermath of the Civil War (2020-2022). Hundreds of thousands of Tigrayan civilians died during the war, and educational infrastructure was devastated, with up to 90% of schools receiving varying l...
