OBJECTIVES: This systematic review analysed the oral health status, chewing function, and quality of life among individuals aged ≥ 65 years in Switzerland using studies published from 1970 onwards. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The electronic databases Embase, MEDLINE via PubMed, Swiss...

MATHEMATICAL SKILLS OF GRADE ELEVEN STUDENTS

Mathematical skills are needed to manage ordinary human relations. These mathematical skills involve translating, organizing, and problem-solving (analytical thinking and creative thinking). These skills are frequently applied in answering word problems. Brain-based learning theo...

Diagnostic strategies for the detection of Sarcocystis spp. and Toxoplasma gondii in bovine hearts from São Paulo, Brazil

Abstract Foodborne parasitic zoonoses such as toxoplasmosis and sarcocystosis represent a public health challenge and an economic loss in the beef production chain, a sector in which Brazil lacks a specific laboratory monitoring program. This study aimed to detect Sarcocystis spp...

VYADHIKSHAMATVA (IMMUNITY): AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE WITH MODERN CORRELATION

In the contemporary era of emerging Pathogens and lifestyle disorders, the immune system's role in maintaining health is of paramount importance. Ayurveda approaches immunity through the holistic concept of Vyadhikshamatva (Disease resistance), which encompasses not only the body...

IMPLEMENTATION OF PYTHON PROGRAMMING IN PHARMACY: A REVIEW

The growing use of digital technology in healthcare has increased the importance of computational skills in pharmacy. Python is a simple, open-source programming language widely used for data analysis, visualization, modelling, and artificial intelligence. In pharmacy, Python can...

‘It’s about demonstrating the impact and effectiveness of the work we do.’ Results of a survey to measure the research capacity of a community-based health and social service

BACKGROUND: As health and social care services are increasingly delivered by organisations in the community, there is a need for them to prioritise research capacity building. Research-active organisations have been found to deliver better care processes and client outcomes, yet...

Petersson-Rigid Lattices in a Census of 100 Rank-Three Root Bases

The first paper worked out one family of four lattices in full — |det| = 12, 24, 36and 72. This paper generalizes it. We enumerate the 44 symmetrizable rank-threehyperbolic Cartan matrices and their 56 depth-one edits, 100 root bases in all, andcompute the obstruction space S_{5/...

Maxwell’s Demon in Markov Chain Monte Carlo: Cooling Information Flow and Entropy Balance

Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms can be viewed as feedback devices that compare a proposed move with the target distribution and then accept or reject it. In this paper the Maxwell demon is identified with the acceptance module: it measures a proposed edge, stores the outcome...

Hybrid 5D Gravity (H5DG): A Step Towards Unification

This record contains the complete sixteen-paper corpus of Hybrid 5D Gravity (H5DG), assembled as a single ordered reference edition. H5DG investigates how far a single-boundary five-dimensional braneworld can provide a unified framework for gravitational phenomenology, from the S...

Leveraging dog models to uncover human cancer insights

Background: Comparative genomics can reveal insights into human disease that cannot be identified from human data alone. Dogs are particularly useful for comparative genomics studies as they share human diet and environment, and, from a genomics perspective, dogs are closely rela...

Improving diabetes management in older adults with cancer: a quality improvement project to enhance monitoring during steroid-based systemic anti-cancer therapy

PURPOSE: Older adults undergoing systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) with steroids are at high risk of developing steroid-induced hyperglycaemia (SIH). However, monitoring and management remain inconsistent. This quality improvement project (QIP) involved developing and evaluatin...

Multiscale physical effects of CpG methylation on DNA mechanics, nucleosome wrapping, and chromatin condensates

DNA methylation at CpG dinucleotides is a central epigenetic modification linked to transcriptional repression and heterochromatin formation, yet its physical impact on chromatin organization remains incompletely understood. Here, we integrate single-molecule force spectroscopy,...

Differential analysis of image-based chromatin tracing data with Dory

Spatial organization of the genome plays a vital role in defining cell identity and regulating gene expression. The three-dimensional (3D) genome structure can be measured by sequencing-based techniques such as Hi-C usually on the cell population level or by imaging-based techniq...

For whom does a brief mindfulness induction work? An exploration of the moderating role of individual differences in the effect of mindfulness induction on executive functioning and mind-wandering

Abstract Brief mindfulness inductions are expected to enhance executive functioning and reduce mind-wandering, but empirical findings are mixed. The present study examined the effects of a 10-min mindfulness induction on executive functions and mind-wandering, and explored whethe...

Current and Future Directions for Responsible Quantum Technologies: A ResQT Community Perspective

Abstract Quantum technologies (QT) are advancing rapidly, promising advancements across a wide spectrum of applications but also raising significant ethical, societal, and geopolitical impacts, including dual-use capabilities, varying levels of access, and impending quantum divid...

Explainable Hallucination Detection in Large Language Models Using Evidence-Grounded Verification

This paper presents Evidence-Grounded Verification (EGV), a modular framework for explainable hallucination detection in large language models. EGV decomposes model outputs into atomic claims, retrieves independent evidence, performs fine-grained four-way verification (Supported,...

Threat and Remedy: AI’s Technological and Normative Role in Democratic Discourse and Counter Speech

Artificial intelligence (AI) has fundamentally transformed online discourse, serving simultaneously as a source of and a potential solution to threats to democracy. This article conceptually examines AI’s multifaceted role in digital public spheres, beginning with an analysis of...
