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...

Validation of AACN’s Healthy Work Environment Assessment Tool–Team

Background In 2024, the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) updated the Healthy Work Environment Assessment Tool (HWEAT), renamed HWEAT-Team. Objective Validating HWEAT-Team for interprofessional use. Methods This was a multisite, descriptive, nonexperimental corr...

A prospective double-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing conventional jig-based versus robotic arm-assisted medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty

Aims This study reports the interim outcomes of a randomized controlled trial comparing the accuracy of component positions, early functional outcomes, patient-reported outcome measures, and complications in conventional jig-based unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with navigatio...

Too Much Water, Too Few Answers

It could be argued the Permian Basin is a water play with a side of hydrocarbons. While oil is the goal, all that water represents a significant waste stream. Unconventional shale operators fairly quickly started diverting some produced water to hydraulic fracturing, but that sti...

Alternative venous options when the internal mammary vein is unavailable in delayed breast reconstruction using a deep inferior epigastric artery perforator free flap: a case report

The internal mammary vessels are the preferred recipient vessels for free-flap breast reconstruction, particularly in delayed reconstruction, in which the thoracodorsal system may be compromised. However, anatomic variation, prior surgical disruption, and radiation-induced fibros...

Algorithmic Publicity and the Right to a Fair Trial

This article examines how social media and AI-driven algorithmic publicity affect the right to a fair trial in Australian criminal jury proceedings. It outlines the common law and statutory controls on prejudicial publicity, including sub judice contempt, permanent stays, jury di...

Does transposition osteotomy of the acetabulum alter the natural history of developmental dysplasia of the hip?

Aims The aim of this study was to clarify the natural history of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), borderline DDH (BDDH), and normal hips, and to determine whether transposition osteotomy of the acetabulum (TOA) alters the long-term joint survival in DDH and BDDH. Methods...

ACADEMIC PERMISSIBILITY IN LLM-ASSISTED EFL WRITING: HOW CONTEXTUAL JUSTIFICATIONS SHAPE STUDENTS' MORAL JUDGMENTS IN A WITHIN-SUBJECTS VIGNETTE SURVEY

AbstractThis paper investigates EFL students’ perceptions of ethical acceptability judgments of using Large Language Models (LLMs) into academic writing. In contrast to the simplistic view of acceptable/unacceptable use of LLMs, the present study models how specific contextual ju...

INTEGRATING PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING AND DEEP LEARNING TO ENHANCE MATHEMATICAL REASONING AMONG JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: A ONE-GROUP PRETEST–PPOSTTEST QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL STUDY

Abstract Mathematical reasoning is a fundamental competency in contemporary mathematics education, yet many junior high school students continue to experience difficulties in constructing logical arguments, connecting mathematical concepts, and solving complex problems. This stud...

Temporal Structure in Multivariate Forecasting: A Mathematical Bridge from Causal Sequence Models to Time-Field-Informed Prediction

This working paper develops an open mathematical bridge between modern multivariate forecasting systems and explicit temporal structure, using Google Research’s TimesFM-3 architecture as a current engineering case study. The paper proves, within clearly stated operational definit...

Fragmented Microbial Networks and Moraxella-Driven Airway Clustering Characterize Preschool Wheezers Across the Gut – Airways Axis

Abstract Early-life wheezing in children has been associated with microbial alterations along the gut-airway axis, yet studies simultaneously investigating bacterial communities in both compartments remain scarce. The aim of this cross-sectional exploratory pilot study ( n = 25)...

[TI-2.02] The Set of Tzolk'in Signs on the End Faces of Pakal's Sarcophagus Lid: The Distribution of Signs over the Edges of the Cubic Graph

The lid of Pakal's sarcophagus (Temple of the Inscriptions, Palenque) is regarded as a discrete structure apart from the linguistic, historical, and calendrical content of the signs. The set of thirteen visual signatures of the Tzolk'in system on the end faces of the lid, folded...

[TI-2.01] The Set of Tzolk'in Signs on the End Faces of Pakal's Sarcophagus Lid: Structures and Forms of the Coefficient Space

The lid of Pakal's sarcophagus (Temple of the Inscriptions, Palenque) was designated in the first series of works as the nearest horizon for applying the structural-topological model. The present work is the first stage of its analysis. The textual corpus inscribed on the end fac...

Necessary Conditions for Shock Solutions to a Hyperelastoplastic Model

We propose a formulation of hyperelastoplasticity such that one can pass to the limit regime of rate-independent plasticity. It results in a family of modified entropy inequalities. A key ingredient is the Hencky logarithmic plastic tensor. A discussion of possible shock solution...

Evaluating the Solution Performance of the Augmented Lagrangian Function on Ising Machines

We apply the augmented Lagrangian function (ALF) as a formulation for Ising machines and evaluate its performance by time-to-epsilon (TTε). The ALF has been well studied in continuous optimization for its numerical stability and convergence, and its advantage over the penalty fun...
