Testosterone deficiency is common in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and has been associated with a procoagulant thromboelastography (TEG) profile. Whether the estradiol-to-testosterone ratio (E2/T) provides information beyond testosterone alone is uncertain. We performe...

eGDR and gastrointestinal cancer mortality in the UK Biobank: a prospective cohort study
Abstract Background This study examined the associations of estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), a surrogate of insulin sensitivity, and the insulin resistance indices TG/HDL-C and TyG with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer mortality in the UK Biobank. Methods We included 369,447 p...

FINDING: K3 surfaces carry a discriminant group \( \mathbb{Z}_2^{22} \) with intersection form of signature (3,19), and their automorphism/mirror structures encode lattice-theoretic symmetries that map directly onto topological insulator classification via \( \mathbb{Z}_2 \) inva...

From Rooms to Rows: Adapting Indoor Functional-Zone Segmentation to Open Parking Environments
Indoor 3D scene-graph methods increasingly subdivide open-plan environments into functional sub-regions by projecting scanned geometry into a bird’s-eye-view representation and applying distance-field and watershed-based segmentation. This work investigates whether the underlying...

The influence of socratic dialogue within GenAI on critical thinking and technology perception
Abstract The increasing accessibility of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Generative AI (GenAI) and chatbots, highlights the need for users to develop critical thinking skills to evaluate information and understand these systems. While critical thinking is essential for...

To foster and advance critical environmental accounting and accountability (CEAA) research, we argue there is a need to foreground the political dimensions of environmental issues by addressing plurality, conflict, contestability and power. Contemporary environmental accounting a...

Clinically relevant anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery is multifactorial, and baseline vascular status may contribute to anastomotic perfusion risk. This study evaluated the associations of patient-level vascular comorbidity, preoperative CT/CTA-derived vascular stat...

NONLOCAL SINGLE-PHOTON STEERING AND THE THEORY OF OBJECTIVITY
This article develops an expanded critical-propositional analysis of Maria Fuwa, Shuntaro Takeda, Marcin Zwierz, Howard M. Wiseman, and Akira Furusawa’s 2015 experiment, “Experimental Proof of Nonlocal Wavefunction Collapse for a Single Particle Using Homodyne Measurements,” publ...

This paper explores why children often find the word “poop” funny. It examines possible explanations involving language, cognitive development, repetition, social reactions, taboo, and incongruity. The paper also introduces the deliberately speculative “Ancient Poop Hypothesis”:...

Digital technology adoption and relative health deprivation: evidence from China
The rapid expansion of digital technologies has sparked debate over whether they exacerbate or alleviate existing health inequalities, yet empirical evidence from developing countries remains inconclusive. This study investigates the association between digital technology adoptio...

Quantum Wormholes Realized via Teleportation and Multi-Mouth Topology — E8 Intelligence Research
FINDING: Traversable wormholes are realizable in the lab via quantum teleportation protocols (SYK model + Google quantum hardware), and multi-mouth wormholes exist in 4D with fundamental group F₂. | MATH: SYK model: \( H = \sum_{i Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Resear...

Nonuniformity of Free-Gradient Heat Semigroups under Finite Fisher Information
Let X_1,...,X_m be a nonempty finite bounded selfadjoint tuple with finite joint nonmicrostates free Fisher information, and let Delta be the generator of the closed polynomial free-gradient form. We prove that its heat semigroup cannot converge uniformly to the identity in L2 on...
