Technology Focus: Offshore Facilities (September 2026)

_ Within the oil and gas industry, the arena of offshore facilities is subject to the same emphases and initiatives as its terrestrial counterpart. Decarbonization and automation have become focal points for marine structures and systems. This year’s selections, contributed to by...

REINVENTING COMPREHENSIVE HUMAN EDUCATION IN THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: A REALISTIC HUMANISM FRAMEWORK INTEGRATING EDUCATION, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and algorithmic technologies are transforming contemporary education by expanding access to knowledge, enabling personalized learning, and improving educational management. However, these technologies also raise fundamental concern...

Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in the Evaluation of the Glenoid Labrum

The glenoid labrum surrounds the glenoid fossa augmenting its depth and diameter. Along with the glenohumeral capsule and ligaments, it is crucial for shoulder stability. Glenoid labral injuries are very common due to both sports and trauma to the shoulder. When torn the labrum c...

Time Heals Some Wounds? Burnout but Not Secondary Traumatic Stress in Critical Care Nurses

Background Burnout among new nurses has been widely documented. Less is known about how years of professional experience relate to distinct components of professional quality of life, including compassion satisfaction and secondary traumatic stress. Early-career nurses appear par...

Adductor-Related Athletic Groin Pain: A Clinical Commentary

Adductor-related athletic groin pain (ARAGP) is a common condition in athletes participating in multidirectional, high-intensity sports. It is challenging to diagnose and manage due to complex regional anatomy and overlapping clinical presentations. ARAGP represents the most freq...

Integrated Surveillance and Reservoir Simulation Safeguard Value of Thin-Oil-Rim Brownfield

MOMENTUM A Dynamical and Architectural Treatment of Momentum From Physical Quantity to Engineered Dynamic Resource

Momentum is one of the fundamental conserved quantities of classical mechanics, yet mechanical engineering is conventionally organized around force, energy, and power as its principal architectural variables. This work proposes a complementary framework: Momentum-First Engineerin...

Peroneal Muscle Size and Quality Changes after Impairment-Based Rehabilitation in Patients with Chronic Ankle Instability

Background Peroneal muscles are the primary stabilizers against ankle inversion movements associated with lateral ankle sprains. Individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) demonstrate peroneal muscle deficits including decreased strength, slower nerve conduction velocity, a...

THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF LAMB'S QUARTERS (CHENOPODIUM ALBUM): A NATURAL REMEDY FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by persistent inflammation, synovial hyperplasia, and progressive joint damage. Conventional treatment options, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, often...

Standard Versus Arm-Length-Normalized Conditions for Assessment of the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test in Healthy Youth Athletes

Background Criterion-based assessment of shoulder function includes screenings, such as the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST), to help identify deficits in stability, neuromuscular control, and proprioception. However, normative performance for the CKC...

NEW IMPORTANT EVIDENCE FOR THE SUBMOLECULAR THEORY OF HEARING

The theory of hearing that remains widely accepted today was published in 1928 by Georg von Bekesy under the name traveling wave theory. The basis of this theory was Helmholtz's 1859 theory of sound wave resonance with the basilar membrane, wave amplification in the middle ear, a...

Unbounded problems in a bounded world: using the core features of wicked problems to understand and manage the dilemmas that arise in cross-sector collaborations around complex societal problems

Abstract Contemporary societal planning is increasingly confronted with urgent and interdependent challenges such as sustainable development, climate change, segregation, and organized crime. These issues are frequently described as wicked problems —a concept used to capture the...

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...

PDE3B as a multi-organ therapeutic node in the gut–liver axis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis

Abstract Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) involves pathological crosstalk within the gut–liver axis, in which intestinal barrier dysfunction facilitates the translocation of microbial and dietary products and aggravates hepatic inflammation and fibrosis. Al...

Secondary patella resurfacing following primary total knee arthroplasty

Aims Our aims were to assess joint-specific outcome (JSO), health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and patient satisfaction following secondary patella resurfacing (SPR), and to define a patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS). Methods This retrospective study was conducted over...
