Mapping the past 25 years of urban food systems and urban agriculture: a planning-oriented bibliometric analysis

Urban food systems and urban agriculture have received increasing attention due to urbanization, food insecurity, climate change, and sustainability challenges. However, the integration of planning-related concepts within the shared knowledge structure of these fields remains ins...

Λ-EG — Emergent Gravitational Coherence: Theory, Ontology, Cosmology (T.O.C.)

Λ-EG THEOREM-MU: The manuscript proposes an exact geometric foundation for the standard MOND interpolation function, $\mu(x) = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$, proving that it corresponds to the cumulative probability of the projection ratio $\cot\theta$ under a three-dimensional isotrop...

Analysis of Microscopic Flow Behavior and Main Controlling Factors of Water Huff-n-Puff in Tight Reservoirs Under the Influence of Salinity

Abstract To address the unclear microscopic mechanisms of water huff-n-puff in tight reservoirs under the influence of salinity, a visual physical model for microscopic flow in fracturing fluid displacement was constructed. It was clarified that the fluid displacement mechanism d...

Pseudotumoral schistosomiasis mimicking locally advanced rectal carcinoma: a case report

Abstract Introduction and Importance: Pseudotumoral rectal schistosomiasis is a rare complication of chronic Schistosoma mansoni infection characterized by mass-forming granulomatous inflammation and fibrosis. It may closely mimic locally advanced rectal carcinoma clinically and...

Metacognitive accuracy of misinformation discernment and its relation to political orientation and cognitive style.

Data collection Time 1: May 2023 (N = 237) Data collection Time 2: June 2024 (additional participants collected to adequately power the mediation analysis; final N = 462)

Euler products from abstract prime systems and rigidity

We introduce an abstract notion of prime system (a purely structural concept that captures factorization without reference to ordinary integers) and construct an associated system Euler product. The scalar differential equation of the rigidity program is lifted to a Hilbert‑space...

Reproducible floating car data monitoring for data-scarce highway corridors: A TomTom–HERE benchmark study

Data-scarce highway corridors require continuous monitoring, but fixed detectors are often sparse, costly, and difficult to maintain. This study developed a reproducible floating car data workflow for corridor traffic monitoring. The workflow includes scheduled data collection, r...

Exploring birth options after three or four cesarean sections in Poland: maternal and neonatal outcomes following vaginal vs repeat surgical deliveries

OBJECTIVES: Postpartum depression (PPD) profoundly affects maternal health and disrupts mother-infant bonding, with lasting effects on infant development. The causal roles of hormones that change most dramatically during the perinatal period, including estradiol, cortisol, and pr...

Stellar discs and intermediate-mass black holes in galactic nuclei – I. Fragmenting the disc in an isotropic stellar potential

Abstract The origin of the complex orbital structure of young massive stars at the Galactic centre remains an open question. If these stars formed in a single episode from a gaseous accretion disc, they may initially have constituted a single, coherently rotating stellar disc. We...

Sustainable development of lignin-based biodegradable coating from palm tree waste for aluminum foil applications

Abstract The environmental challenges presented by synthetic, non-biodegradable coatings used in aluminum packaging have accelerated the search for sustainable alternatives. This research aimed to develop and optimize biodegradable lignin-based coatings derived from Date Palm Emp...

Thermodynamics, Equilibrium and Kinetic Evaluation of Lead Ion Interactions on Zinc Salt of Trimesic Acid MOF in Aqueous Solution

Adsorptive interactions between adsorbents and toxic contaminants are significantly exploited to the advantage of water treatment goals. In this study, adsorptive interactions in aqueous solution between Pb (II) ions and a lowly toxic and structurally robust metal–organic framewo...

Acute peritoneal dialysis adequacy among children at a national referral hospital in Kenya: a cross-sectional study in a resource-limited setting

Abstract Background: Acute peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an important renal replacement therapy for children with acute kidney injury (AKI), particularly in resource-limited settings. Inadequate PD may result in persistent uremia, prolonged hospitalization, increased mortality, and...

The Constructibility Criterion: A Unified Foundation for Physically Derivable Mathematics and Physically Derivable Theory

This paper establishes the Constructibility Criterion — a single formal requirement operating at a logical level prior to truth, provability, and falsifiability — from which both the foundations of Physically Derivable Set Theory (PDST) and the conditions of the Minimally Physica...

Performing National Identity: Interpreting the Folkloric Idiom of Lyatoshynsky’s Piano Preludes as Curated Musical Experience

The piano preludes of Borys Lyatoshynsky (1895–1968)—the Three Preludes, Op. 38, the Two Preludes on Ukrainian folk-song melodies, Op. 38bis, and the Five Preludes, Op. 44, all composed during the 1942–43 wartime evacuation—have re-entered Western concert life as vehicles of Ukra...

Incremental diagnostic yield of bronchoscopy in non-resolving pneumonia: a prospective observational study from Eastern India

Abstract Background Non-resolving pneumonia (NRP) remains a significant diagnostic challenge because of its diverse etiologies, particularly in tuberculosis-endemic regions. Although a structured non-bronchoscopic evaluation establishes the diagnosis in a substantial proportion o...

New variations on the theme of Baer’s theorem

Abstract Let $$\gamma _s(G)$$ γ s ( G ) and $$Z_s(G)$$ Z s ( G ) denote the s -th terms of the lower and upper central series of a group G , respectively. A classical theorem by R. Baer states that if $$Z_s(G)$$ Z s ( G ) has finite index in G , then $$\gamma _{s+1}(G)$$ γ s + 1...

Relational dynamics, reflective practice and lifelong learning in social work

In the field of social work, the relationship is one of the central elements of the helping process, requiring professionals to develop complex cognitive, emotional, affective and behavioural skills. In turn, these skills require social workers to develop reflective capabilities...
