Pleistocene-Holocene imprint of soil pyrogenic carbon and reversed ages in soil and cave flowstone
Wildfire can significantly alter karst surface environments, yet its impact on cave systems and speleothem archives remains poorly understood. This study investigates the relationship between surface fire events and their imprint on inverted ages recorded in soil and flowstone in...

Abstract Trigger tools (TTs) are highly recommended for structured detection of adverse events (AEs) through retrospective medical record review. However, available general tools require thorough adaptation to paediatric care and local documentation practices to ensure feasibilit...

Histopathological analysis of CD163 and myeloperoxidase expression in neutrophil-rich dermatoses
Background Predominance of myeloperoxidase immunoreactive mononucleated cells in the dermal infiltrate defines histiocytoid Sweet’s syndrome. These cells are believed to represent immature myeloid cells of granulocytic lineage, and the authors suppose that they could be present i...

Assembling caring food infrastructures: grassroots foodwork in an incomplete welfare city
This paper conceptualizes grassroots foodwork as caring food infrastructure and examines how it is assembled and sustained through everyday practices of care in Stockholm, Sweden, amid welfare retrenchment and the Covid-19 pandemic. Although Sweden is often portrayed as resisting...

Engineering at surface-interface triggered by single sites to regulate selectivity of CO2 reduction
Rational catalyst design and reaction mechanism investigation guided by clarification of relationship between the active sites and elementary reaction steps at molecular level are challenging but essential in heterogeneous catalysis. Here we demonstrate the alteration of active s...

This preprint studies explicit Galois extensions arising from radicals of units in real quadratic fields. Let F/ℚ be a real quadratic field, let ε ∈ O_F× be a nonrational unit, and let ℓ ≥ 2. The associated trace–norm polynomial is Qε,ℓ(x) = (x^ℓ − ε)(x^ℓ − ε̄), where ε̄ denotes...

Altered TAGLN Expression During HBV Replication Correlates with OPA1 Levels
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) exploits host proteins to reshape cellular physiology and metabolism, thereby supporting its replication. Transgelin (TAGLN), an actin-binding protein highly expressed in HBV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma, has a poorly defined role in HBV infection....

This paper proposes a conceptual reframing of cosmology and fundamental physics grounded in two related primitives: (1) a new local primitive for gravity, understood as an invariant, extremely weak action concentrated by radial geometry rather than as curvature taken as ontologic...
