Apéry Numbers Unify Sporadic Sequences via Weight-4 Modular L-Values — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Apéry-like numbers interpolate to critical L-values of weight-4 modular forms, unifying sporadic sequences via modularity. | MATH: Apéry numbers \(A_n = \sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k}^2 \binom{n+k}{k}^2\) satisfy \(A_n \sim \frac{\zeta(3)}{6} n^{-2}\) (asymptotic). Zagier's i...

Effects of different training modalities on lower-limb explosive power, acceleration, 20-m sprint performance, and change-of-direction ability in youth soccer players: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Youth soccer players repeatedly perform explosive actions, short accelerations, linear sprints, decelerations, and multidirectional movements. However, the comparative effects of different structured physical-conditioning programmes remain uncertain. Seven databases were searched...

Different learners, different journeys: affective and cognitive diversity in response to an ELF-aware speaking intervention

Abstract This qualitative study explores learner responses to an English as a Lingua Franca (ELF)-aware speaking intervention in a lower secondary school in Greece, where learning English is dominated by certification goals and classroom disengagement in state schools is common....

Bioactive polysaccharides from the industrial crop Platycodon grandiflorus restore intestinal barrier integrity and suppress bEVs-mediated pyroptosis: A functional component for respiratory health management

Platycodon grandiflorus is widely recognized as an industrial crop due to the high value of its bioactive polysaccharides (PGP). Despite its traditional use for pulmonary and gastrointestinal health, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. This study investigated whether...

The Effectiveness of Family Planning Mobile Application and Enhanced Counseling on the Use of Modern Family Planning Methods Among Postpartum Women in Jordan

To improve women’s reproductive health and reproductive rights, appropriate interventions are needed to support family planning (FP) use during the postpartum period. Evidence on Arabic-language digital health interventions remains limited. This study aimed to assess the effect o...

A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Programme Regarding Knowledge on Impact of Excess Television Viewing Among Mothers of School Age Children at Bangalore

Background: Excessive television viewing among school-age children can adversely affect physical health, psychosocial development, sleep, academic performance, dietary habits, and family interactions. Mothers play an important role in monitoring and regulating television viewing...

Beyond Collective Memory: A Hypothesis on the Origins of Writing Through Population, Social Complexity, and Information Management

This paper presents a conceptual hypothesis on the origins of writing. It proposes that writing may have emerged when growing populations and increasing social complexity exceeded the capacity of collective memory and oral communication. The paper introduces the ``Collective Memo...

Complex Thinking as a Predictor of Anxiety Symptoms in Medical Students

Abstract Introduction Medical training is associated with a high prevalence of anxiety symptoms that escalate with curricular advancement. Complex thinking has been proposed as a protective cognitive skill; however, its predictive capacity and evolution throughout training remain...

Helicobacter pylori triggers gastric mucosal remodeling toward a fetal-like transcriptional program via stromal IL-1β signaling

Abstract In the gastrointestinal tract, Wnt and BMP signals control Lgr5 ⁺ stem cell activity during homeostasis, whereas injury elicits an Lgr5 -independent, fetal-like regenerative program driven by YAP. Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) infection activates YAP, but whether fet...

Adults have rather stable, yet domain-specific tendencies in social and temporal comparisons

Abstract Past research on how people evaluate and compare themselves in central characteristics focuses strongly on preconditions, processes, and consequences of such comparisons while neglecting individual differences. The current study bridges social and personality research by...

LAB #1835 NEUTRAL: LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: XAUUSD SHORT @ NY_OPEN with 6 conf — improves win rate from 31.9% to 80. — E8 Intelligence Research

IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: XAUUSD SHORT @ NY_OPEN with 6 conf — improves win rate from 31.9% to 80.0% (+48.1pp, n=5) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Over the current live window, the filter would have blocked the two XAUUSD SHORT riz...

Factors Associated with Undergraduate Students’ Engagement with Socioscientific Issues Misinformation and Disinformation

Abstract The rapid spread of socioscientific issues (SSI) misinformation and disinformation threatens civic engagement, poses serious environmental and public health risks, and undermines educational efforts toward scientific literacy. This is concerning for college students, who...

Changes in LVOT velocity–time integral during whole blood donation: implications for early detection of hypovolemia in spontaneously breathing patients

Early identification of hypovolemia remains challenging in emergency settings, as vital signs may remain normal during initial blood loss. Point-of-care echocardiography allows assessment of stroke volume through left ventricular outflow tract velocity–time integral (LVOT VTI), b...

ATLAS XV ESCAPE, RESTORATION, AND NEGATIVE CASES: How Developmental Lock-In Is Weakened, Reversed, or Falsified

ATLAS XV — Escape, Restoration, and Negative Cases Description ATLAS XV formalizes the escape‑and‑restoration layer of the ATLAS universe: the diagnostic architecture showing how developmental lock‑in is weakened, reversed, or falsified. As the manuscript states, “A theory of loc...

ERK-dependent hyperexcitability of BLA neurons projecting to dCA3 underlies social dysfunction in a male mouse model of fragile X syndrome

Background Social dysfunction is a core symptom of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including fragile X syndrome (FXS), but its underlying neural circuits and molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Previous studies have implicated the amygdala and hippocampus in social beh...

Understanding implementation patterns of the FICUS family support intervention: a matrixed multiple case study across Swiss adult intensive care units

Abstract Background Variations in implementation success across sites are common when introducing complex health interventions; however, such variations are rarely examined systematically, particularly for family-focused interventions in intensive care units (ICUs). As part of a...

Development of a Deep Learning Model for Audio Question Answering (AQA)

This paper presents a high-efficiency multimodal framework designed for Audio Question Answering (AQA). To overcome standard CPU and disk I/O bottlenecks, the architecture implements a zero-I/O data pipeline that pre-processes and caches 10,686 samples directly into the 48 GB VRA...

“We Didn’t Know What to Do”: Experiences of search and rescue teams with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract Natural disasters create disproportionate risks for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) because emergency environments often involve sudden changes, sensory overload, disrupted routines, and communication demands. This qualitative study examined the experienc...

What Drives U.S. Energy Storage Deployment? A State-Level Analysis of Residential, C&I, and Utility-Scale Markets

This study examines the factors associated with Energy Storage System (ESS) deployment across Residential, Commercial & Industrial (C&I), and Utility-scale markets in the United States. Using state-level data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the National Sol...

Utilising urban energy structure as a carbon management strategy for carbon emissions mitigation and climate neutrality

Abstract Achieving urban carbon neutrality is critical to mitigating global warming and demands transformative regulation of carbon flows within urban energy systems. This study constructs an energy structure influencing factors (ESIF) evaluation system for urban energy structure...
