Sports tourism as a pathway to older adults’ psychological well-being: a dual-pathway model integrating broaden-and-build and social identity perspectives

This study explores how sports tourism is associated with older adults’ eudaimonic well-being through dual psychological mechanisms. Drawing on Broaden-and-Build Theory and Social Identity Theory, the research examines an emotion pathway in which positive emotions and sense of ph...

Sub-Planckian Discrete Spacetime Calibrated by Dirac's Large-Number Ratio: Effective Field Theory Bounds, Sector Invariants, and a Ten-Condition Falsifiability Roadmap

We evaluate the continuum limit of a discrete spacetime substrate with fundamental spacing fixed by Dirac's large-number ratio Q ~ 4.17 x 10^42. At the sub-Planckian scale delta_p = L_P / Q ~ 3.88 x 10^-78 m, we examine electrodynamics recovery and the leading Lorentz-violating c...

How close is close enough? Calibrating and validating RSSI-based proximity sensors for livestock social interaction studies

Abstract Background Understanding social contacts in livestock is essential for behavioural research, welfare assessment and modelling pathogen transmission. Proximity sensors based on received signal strength indicator (RSSI) offer a promising tool to quantify fine-scale social...

E8 Lattice Parity Resonance for Quantum Cryptographic Key Distribution — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 root vectors at 132Hz function as a discrete parity-check manifold that stabilizes quantum information against topological noise. By mapping key-bits to specific $\phi$-coupled root trajectories, information is encoded into the Z₂-graded cohomology, making intercept attem...

Immune control of HIV viraemia in early paediatric infection is associated with induction of HIV-specific CD8+ T-cell activity following multiple treatment interruptions

BACKGROUND: Virus-specific CD8+ T-cells play an important part in HIV cure/remission in adults, yet their role in paediatric immune control is limited by tolerogenic early-life immunity. Very-early ART initiation, while effective in restricting viral reservoir size, also prevents...

From Green Faces to Green Wallets: An Interplay of Green Brand Anthropomorphism, Dual-Trust Mechanisms, Green Brand Love and Eco-Label Credibility in Sustainable Consumption Intentions

Despite growing consumer interest in sustainability, green brands encounter difficulties in translating eco-friendly sentiments into purchase intent due to widespread skepticism, unverifiable environmental claims, and greenwashing challenges. Integrating Anthropomorphism and Atta...

Impact of living and training at low altitude for several years on endurance performance at higher altitude: Myth or reality

Abstract The physiological adaptations of long‐term high‐altitude residents without high‐altitude genetic ancestry remain poorly characterized. This study investigated whether permanent residence at low altitude (1200 m) influences performance at higher altitude (2500 m). We comp...

AOSNP‐ADAPTR resource level‐based recommendations on practical diagnostic strategies for medulloblastomas and other embryonal tumors

WHO CNS5 mandates integrated histo-molecular classification of medulloblastomas (MBs) and other CNS embryonal tumors. However, advanced molecular diagnostics remain inaccessible in many low- and lower-middle-income countries (LICs/LMICs), limiting implementation of molecularly in...

Hepatic toxicological and multi-omics alterations associated with short- and long-term nonylphenol exposure in mice

Nonylphenol (NP) is an alkylphenol environmental contaminant with endocrine-disrupting activity and potential hepatotoxicity. However, the molecular responses associated with different NP exposure durations remain insufficiently characterized. In this study, male Kunming mice wer...

Using photovoice and life course theory to understand the lived experiences of Filipino teenage parents

Teenage parents face the unique challenge of simultaneously navigating adolescence and parenthood. Rising adolescent pregnancy rates in the Philippines necessitate urgent efforts to better understand and support them. Using photovoice, Filipino teenage parents captured their live...

An Assessment of Land Management Practices for Sustainable Irrigation Farming in Numan Local Government Area, Adamawa State

Abstract Irrigated agriculture is a critical strategy for enhancing food security in Nigeria, particularly in semi-arid regions where rainfall is unreliable. However, the sustainability of irrigation farming depends on the interaction between land management practices, soil–water...

Preliminary miRNA profiling of plasma from patients infected with distinct SARS-CoV-2 variants

Background Epigenetic regulation can play a dual role in viral infection, acting as part of the host defense, while being hijacked to control viral latency, replication, and persistence. During the COVID-19 pandemic, substantial evidence indicated that different SARS-CoV-2 varian...

Carvacrol thymol formulation: bactericidal activity without detectable early resistance induction in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria

Abstract Aims The emergence of antimicrobial resistance requires alternative antimicrobial strategies capable of controlling bacterial growth while minimizing the risk of resistance selection. This study aimed to evaluate whether combinations of natural bioactive compounds, parti...

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF STAFF WORKING IN PRIMARY MENTAL HEALTH CARE UNITS AT PRIMARY HEALTH CARE CENTERS

Introduction: The quality of care provided by Primary Mental Health Care Units (PMHCUs), which serve as a cornerstone for delivering community-based mental health services depends largely on the performance of their staff. Consequently, systematic performance assessment is essent...

PURIFICATION OF SAPONIN-PDRN COMPLEX DERIVED FROM PLATYCODON GRANDIFLORUS BASED ON A DUAL-FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC BEAD-COLUMN SYSTEM AND VALIDATION OF ITS IN VITRO / IN VIVO SKIN REGENERATION, BARRIER ENHANCEMENT, AND WSSV ANTIVIRAL EFFICACY

Despite the tissue regeneration effects of fish-derived polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), the paradigm is shifting towards plant-derived PDRN (Phyto DNA) and complexes of plant-specific active ingredients due to the instability of marine resource supply and the risk of zoonotic inf...

The Physicality of Complexity: A Structural-Differentiation Criterion for Generator/Selector Decoupling

The Physicality of Scales (P6) derives QGD's object hierarchy from a behavioral criterion silent, by design, on internal organization; Behaviorally Free, Ontologically Determined (P50) needs exactly the distinction P6 does not draw, grounding epistemic free will in a Generator/Se...
