This study examined the influence of Social Media in promoting SMEs in Calabar Municipality Local Government Area of Cross River State. Two specific purposes and two research questions guided the study. Two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 Alpha level of significance. The stud...

Reflexivity in sensitive nursing research: challenges, tensions and methodological insights

BACKGROUND: Reflexivity is widely recognised as central to qualitative inquiry, yet there remains limited discussion of how researchers navigate it in emotionally sensitive research. AIM: This article critically reflects on the first author's experience of conducting an interpret...

Self-Signaling and the Anonymity Norm: A Quasi-Natural Field Experiment on Identity-Based Altruism

Abstract Contrary to standard models of indirect reciprocity, Muslim donors prefer anonymous donations and out-group causes rather than public and in-group ones. This study investigates the Western context. It examines whether the self-signaling behavior of Western Muslim donors...

Machine learning-based mapping of multimodal treatment allocations and prognostic implications of clinical concordance in non-small cell lung cancer

Machine learning models of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment usually examine one modality. We developed interpretable models of historical surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy receipt in SEER. We assessed regional transportability and associations between observed t...

Solar-powered electromagnetic conditioning of saline groundwater: an exploratory assessment of ionic composition and soil-extract salinity

Saline groundwater is a difficult irrigation source in arid and off-grid areas, but a conditioning device must not be described as a desalination process unless net salt removal is demonstrated. This exploratory pilot assessment examined a photovoltaic-powered electromagnetic coi...

Topological Isomorphic Interpretation and Derived Mapping of the Schrödinger Equation within the T⁶⁴ Framework — Yuanxian Theory Short Treatise NO.1

Within the $\mathcal{T}^{64}$ topological framework of Yuanxian Theory and under the setting of the sixth-dimensional unitary chaos field, this paper completes the topological isomorphic interpretation and derived mapping of the Schrödinger equation. The argument shows that the S...

Bifunctional Aloe-Birch Extracts for Green Silver Nanoparticle Synthesis and Synergistic Antimicrobial Microneedles Toward Infected Wound Healing

Plant-mediated green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) predominantly relies on single botanical sources, constraining reduction efficiency and forfeiting the therapeutic potential of residual biomass. This study employed aloe vera and birch bark extracts as reducing agent...

A Unified Multi-Task Vision Transformer for Interpretable Ovarian Tumour Analysis

Ovarian cancer remains a leading cause of gynaecological cancer mortality, and ultrasound-based deep learning systems for its diagnosis are typically built as separate post hoc processes for classification, segmentation, and interpretability, which introduces workflow inefficienc...

Teaching Mathematics to Autistic Students: Findings From an Online Multicomponent Video Modeling Intervention

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of an online multicomponent video modeling intervention which included self-monitoring supports and a system of least prompts when teaching mathematics to three autistic students using a multiple baseline design across participants...

Detection of False Stealthy Data Injection Attacks in Smart Meters Using Machine Learning and Blockchain Technology

Despite the benefits associated with the use of smart meters in advanced metering infrastructure, the widespread deployment of such meters has introduced vulnerabilities that leave power systems susceptible to stealthy false data injection attacks which cannot be detected by conv...

Person in Jomon Physics

Definition Definition 1. The first person is an object which interacts with another object. Definition 2. The second person is the object which interacts with the first person. Definition 3. The third person is an object which does not interact with the first person, the second p...

Designing and Evaluating Human–AI Interaction Service Systems: An Industrial Case Study

This study advances the design and evaluation of Human–AI Interaction Service Systems (HAI-SS) through a design science research approach in collaboration with a global high-tech manufacturer. Two artifacts were developed. The first, a multi-agent prototype, demonstrates how hybr...

KSC3: From Generated Structures to Inherited Knowledge — Transgenerational Capability Accumulation in AI

The KSC framework abstracts the resources underlying intelligent activity into three basic variables: Knowledge (K), Structure generation (S), and Constraint maintenance (C). Extending the K axis into the temporal dimension, this paper examines a foundational question: can candid...

Ring Stacking asa Mechanism to Strengthen HalogenBonding

Abstract The effects of stacking an aromatic ring over another that bears a halogen atom is considered via quantum chemical calculations. Benzene, furan, cytosine, and phenol slightly weaken the CI···N halogen bond between iodobenzene and NH3, while strengthening is associated wi...

Neuro-Symbolic Frameworks for Corporate Leverage and Debt Maturity: Evidence from Econometric and Machine Learning Models

Forecasting corporate leverage adjustments remains challenging due to persistent financing behavior, firm heterogeneity, and changing macroeconomic conditions. This study investigates whether increasing model complexity improves the forecasting of corporate leverage adjustment by...

Awake Prone Positioning in Moderate ARDS: A Case Report

Background: Legionella pneumophila is a rare but severe cause of community-acquired pneumonia and can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Awake prone positioning (APP) has been recognized as an effective adjunct for non-intubated patients with hypoxemic respirator...
