Police drug seizures without arrest before and during a decriminalization pilot in Vancouver, Canada: a longitudinal analysis

On 31 January 2023, the province of British Columbia (BC), Canada implemented a three-year “Decriminalization Pilot” in response to a toxic drug supply public health emergency, which removed criminal sanctions for the personal possession of some drugs below a cumulative total of...

Molecular modeling characterization of cellulose and chitosan metal oxide hybrid interfaces

Abstract The interfacial electronic structure of biopolymer–metal oxide hybrids determine their stability, yet this structure is still not well understood. Here, we report a density functional theory study of 10 model systems consisting of cellulose and chitosan functionalized wi...

Nutrition knowledge, attitude, and practice in relation to health-related quality of life among urban-poor children in Malaysia: the mediating role of lifestyle factors

Children living in urban-poor communities are particularly vulnerable to poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL) because socioeconomic disadvantage, food insecurity, constrained food environments, and limited access to health-promoting resources may affect both nutritional st...

Antibacterial and anti-virulence mechanisms of Etlingera pavieana extract against Staphylococcus aureus and its efficacy in a food matrix

Abstract Staphylococcus aureus poses a significant threat to food safety, driving the search for effective antibacterial agents. This study investigated the antibacterial and anti-virulence properties of the ethanolic extract of Etlingera pavieana rhizome (EE) against S. aureus ....

A prospective plant-level material flow analysis to assess systemic efficiency in the transition to hydrogen-based steelmaking

Abstract Decarbonizing steel production requires adopting low-carbon technologies and the efficient use of available resources, yet the effects of such a transition on the metabolism of the plant remain underexplored. This study applies a prospective plant-level Material Flow Ana...

偏差守恒原理 :中道与偏差的共生定理 Principle of Deviation Conservation : Symbiosis Theorem of the Middle Way and Deviation

摘要 Abstract 本文验证了核心猜想:“中道与偏差是正反两面,有偏差就必然有中道”。 This paper validates the core conjecture: “The Middle Way and Deviation are two sides of the same coin; the existence of deviation inevitably implies the existence of the Middle Way.” 通过在七个数学领域(...

THE LIMINAL FIELD: Conceiving Spontaneity

Short Description (ORCID) A conceptual exploration of spontaneity as a physiological expression of the Self. The text describes how neutrality allows the Self to permeate terrenità, giving rise to the New Human and enabling direct interaction with energy through informational ani...

Neuro-Assisted Therapy - A clinical-epistemic architecture for dynamic psychophysiological mapping, explainable artificial intelligence, and multimodal therapeutic inquiry

This article proposes Neuro-Assisted Therapy (NAT), an experimental clinical architecture integrating therapeutic conversation, naturalistic or controlled-provocative experiences, multimodal psychophysiological acquisition, and explainable artificial intelligence. Its aim is not...

Interdependencies among factors related to participation in smart home-based elderly care platforms in China: an exploratory social network analysis

Despite increasing policy investment in smart home-based elderly care platforms, participation among older adults and care institutions remains limited. Existing studies have primarily examined participation-related factors from either the demand or supply side, but have paid lim...

The Filtered MOND Action: a Central Tidal Identity, Comparable-Mass Forces, a First Covariant Clock Action, and the Operator That Screens the Solar System

Preprint; AI-assisted research draft; not peer reviewed. This deposit timestamps results and their reproducibility scripts. It claims no completed relativistic MOND theory, no derivation of the coherence length or of a0, and no empirical detection. For the spatially filtered two-...

Religiosity and the Pathway to an Ongoing Nonmarital Penile–Vaginal Sexual Relationship During the Transition to Adulthood

ABSTRACT Studies of religion and nonmarital sexual behavior often focus on the timing of sexual debut and the number of sexual partners during adolescence, limiting understanding of how religion shapes subsequent pathways into and through romantic and sexual relationships during...

The top 100 cited papers in AI and Healthcare: trends, collaborations, and key contributions

Abstract Purpose This study performed a bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most cited papers on artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications in health and medicine. Data was retrieved from the Scopus database in December 2024, focusing on papers published between 2001 and...

Low-surface-energy cotton fabrics for hygiene control: Super-repellent surfaces resistant to biological and non-biological contamination

Cotton fabrics are widely used in industries like agriculture and food processing, where they are often chosen for workwear, cleaning purposes, and as reusable cloths. Nevertheless, their inherent hydrophilicity and porous morphology facilitate the absorption and persistence of v...

Trio exome sequencing in patients with global developmental delay and intellectual disability in Rwanda

Intellectual disability (ID) and global developmental delay (GDD) are clinically and genetically heterogeneous conditions characterized by impairments in cognitive, motor, and behavioral functions. Despite advances in genomic medicine, individuals of African ancestry remain signi...

Bottom-Up Realization of a Type-II Organic/Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides Heterointerface: Pentacene on Monolayer WS2

Abstract Stacked van der Waals heterostructures based on transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit a rich variety of exotic interfacial phenomena. Substituting one component with an organic semiconductor (OSC) enables the design of hybrid heterostructures with tunable funct...

Harnessing Nordic microalgae for arsenate biosorption from industrial wastewater

Microalgae-based biosorption represents a promising yet underexplored strategy for arsenic removal from industrial effluents. Here, two Nordic freshwater strains, Chlorella vulgaris 13-1 and Coelastrella sp. 3-4, were assessed for arsenate [As(V)] biosorption from industrial wast...

The Impact of Upper Extremity Rehabilitation on Fatigue in Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review

ABSTRACT Background Although numerous interventions have been investigated to alleviate fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), evidence regarding the effects of upper extremity rehabilitation on fatigue remains limited. Objective The objective of this review was to eva...

Prime Values of p³ − 2 over Prime Inputs: Reproducible Computational Edition with the p³ + 2 Mirror Lane

This paper studies prime inputs p for which p^3 - 2 or p^3 + 2 is prime and states two corresponding infinitude conjectures. For every prime p > 3, if p mod 3 = 2, then p^3 - 2 is composite. If p mod 3 = 1, then p^3 + 2 is composite. In each case, the expression with the opposite...

Atomistic Origin of Structural, Vibrational, and Electronic Fingerprints in Iminopyridine Iron(II) Dichloride Complexes

Abstract Density functional theory (DFT) investigations were performed on a diverse library of iron(II) dichloride complexes bearing iminopyridine (ImPy) ligands to establish robust structure–property relationships governing their electronic and vibrational behavior. The pronounc...
