How peer refugee helpers draw on their lived experience in problem management plus: a qualitative study

Abstract Background Emerging evidence suggests that peer support can benefit refugees, but little is known about how refugee peer helpers draw on and interpret their lived experiences in their work. This study aimed to explore whether and how peer helpers conducting Problem Manag...

Reviving traditional crafts and intergenerational knowledge in the age of circular economy: a narrative literature review

Abstract The circular economy (abbreviation: CE) has become a dominant policy and research paradigm in recent years, emphasizing sustainability through waste minimization, repair, reuse, and the extension of product lifecycles. While the technical and systemic dimensions of CE ha...

Plateau Pressure Exceeding Peak Inspiratory Pressure During Pressure Mode Ventilation With Active Inspiratory Effort

Background In patients receiving pressure modes of mechanical ventilation, plateau pressure can be higher than peak inspiratory pressure when the patient has a strong drive to breathe. This report provides comprehensive evidence to support this observation. Methods Peak inspirato...

Discrete 31-Based Magic Structures: The 31×31 Square, 31×31×31 Cube, and 31⁴ Hypercube

This paper presents a finite-field framework for a family of discrete mathematical structures of order 31: a 31×31 square, a 31×31×31 cube, and a four-dimensional 31⁴ hypercube. Using affine coordinate mappings over ℤ/31ℤ, the construction places consecutive integers bijectively...

COMPARATIVE IN VITRO QUALITY AND DISSOLUTION ASSESSMENT OF DIFFERENT BRANDS OF PARACETAMOL TABLETS MARKETED IN SUDAN: IMPLICATIONS FOR BIOWAIVER ELIGIBILITY

Bioequivalence studies are the usually accepted methods to determine the therapeutic equivalence of two drug products or more. Because in-vivo bioequivalence studies are time consuming and expensive to conduct, major regulatory authorities have introduced biowaivers for some sele...

Centrifuge Modeling of Variable-Rate Cone Penetration Testing in Fly Ash and Its Implications for State Interpretation

Abstract Analysis of cone penetration tests (CPTs) typically is used to assess the stability of waste storage facilities (WSFs) to prevent failures. Materials in WSFs, such as fly ash, often contain a significant proportion of silt-sized particles, making them susceptible to part...

Genome-wide association study reveals genetic loci controlling wood mechanical properties, lignocellulosic composition, and biomass energy traits in rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis)

Abstract Rubberwood derived from plantation replanting of Hevea brasiliensis Müll. Arg. is an increasingly important renewable resource for timber, furniture, and biomass-based industries in Southeast Asia. Despite its growing industrial value, the genetic architecture underlying...

Emergence of Spacetime and the Mass Hierarchy via 3D Topological Soliton Solutions

This paper presents a deterministic, bottom-up topological field framework for the emergence of the spacetime metric, gauge charges, and invariant rest mass from an absolute vacuum state. While standard cosmological models and gauge field theories rely on unintegrated vacuum sing...

Indocyanine green (ICG) guided thyroidectomy versus conventional thyroidectomy and the impact on parathyroid function preservation: an updated GRADE-assessed systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Thyroidectomy carries a significant risk of parathyroid gland injury, with transient hypoparathyroidism occurring in 15–50% of cases and permanent hypoparathyroidism in up to 5%, resulting in lifelong morbidity. Near-infrared (NIR) autofluorescence imaging com...

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND ANALGESIC PROPERTIES OF BASIL (OCIMUM BASILICUM) OIL IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS TREATMENT

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, causing pain, swelling, and damage over time. While conventional treatment can help, it often has side effects when used for too long. This led people to search for natural remedies li...

Residual Causal Information After Complete Decomposition: Multi-Channel Constraints and Simple Structure Recovery

This preprint examines whether complete decomposition necessarily eliminates every recoverable physical constraint about a prior organism, or whether distributed residues and environmental modifications can preserve measurable retrodictive information across distinct physical cha...

Soil Metagenomic Profiling of Yingwuzhou Coastal Wetland in Jinshan, Shanghai

Yingwuzhou Ecological Wetland is located on the northern shore of Hangzhou Bay in Jinshan District, Shanghai. Constructed in 2016, it is an urban coastal salt marsh wetland covering approximately 23.2 hectares, comprising four core functional zones: purification display area, sal...

ROLE OF ECO-FRIENDLY PLANTS IN CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION

Eco-friendly plants play a vital role in mitigating climate change by enhancing carbon sequestration, improving ecosystem resilience, and regulating atmospheric greenhouse gases. As global temperatures continue to rise due to increased emissions of CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O, nature-based...

Isokinetic Quadriceps and Hamstring Peak Torque in Athletes Aged 10-50+: Preoperative Uninvolved Limb Reference Values for ACL Reconstruction

Background Current recommendations for quadriceps and hamstring peak torque normalized to body mass after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are derived from athletes in the second and third decades of life. There is a paucity of literature exploring the relationship betwe...

Presentation for the Structural Bioinformatics and Network Biology Group meeting on September 1, 2026. This presentation covered key standards and best practices for managing and contributing to open source projects. Topics included the use of GitHub Projects for project manageme...

Patient-evaluated functional outcome is systematically different from physician-evaluated outcome after proximal humerus fracture fixation

Aims The study aimed to investigate the agreement between Constant-Murley score (CMS) and the shoulder subjective value (SSV); and the association of poor self-evaluated outcome with shoulder pain, range of motion (ROM) limitation, and shoulder strength after fixation of proximal...

Power-Efficient Ultra-Reliable Communication in Rayleigh–Rayleigh Fading Environment Using ARQ-I and CC-HARQ

We propose optimal power allocation for a transmitter that operates with either the ARQ-I or CC-HARQ protocol in an interference-limited environment where both the desired and interfering signals experience Rayleigh fading, forming an analytically tractable non-line-of-sight scen...
