Does environmental regulation affect corporate greenwashing? Evidence from China’s Environmental Credit Rating Policy

Grounded in institutional and agency theory, this paper examines whether and how environmental regulation affects corporate greenwashing in an emerging economy. Exploiting the staggered rollout of China’s Environmental Credit Rating Policy (ECRP) across provinces, we implement a...

Matter over Antimatter as a Conditional Post-diction: the Sign of the Baryon Asymmetry, a Complete Moduli Chain, and a Stratified CP-Phase Sector in an E8-Derived E6 Model

Why the universe retained matter rather than antimatter has a standard mechanism (leptogenesis) but no standard answer for its sign: in generic models the sign is set by unconstrained phases, so it is chosen rather than explained. This paper reports the closing arc of a research...

Cosmic Texture Theory (CTT) – Article 2: The Mechanical Reality of Light, the Impossibility of Spacetime Curvature, and the Hydrodynamic Origin of Galactic Rotation

This second article in the Cosmic Texture Theory (CTT) series provides a rigorous mechanical derivation of light, time, and gravitational phenomena from the Texton Continuum. It is demonstrated that Maxwell's equations are the natural linearized expressions of the shear dynamics...

MERLIN SCIENCE — E8 Phi‑Scaled Acoustic Metamaterial Achieves Sub‑Quantum‑Limit Coheren — E8 Intelligence Research

Here is the narration, revised to address the publisher's notes. --- Here is the finding in one clean sentence: We have embedded the 240 root vectors of the E8 lattice, scaled by the golden ratio, into a phononic crystal, and the resulting structure exhibits a bandgap that suppre...

MEME SIGNAL: BUY SHIB 5/7 confs — VSA UPTHRUST — 2026-08-01 UTC — E8 Intelligence Research

The MEMECOIN channel meme tracker fired a BUY signal on SHIB at $0.00000481 with 5/7 confirmations. VSA: UPTHRUST | Direction: LONG | Target: +11.8% God's Clock: LOCKED | Quarterly: 30.0 | Session: ASIAN Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 In...

Serum and urinary D-lactate in pediatric intestinal failure: clinical associations and reference values

Abstract Background D-lactate, produced by intestinal microbiota or derived from the methylglyoxal pathway and diet, is converted by D-lactate dehydrogenase (LDHD) to pyruvate, with several known pathogenic variants of the gene. This study compared serum and urinary D-lactate con...

Recent Collatz Work: Methodological Advances, No Breakthrough — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Collatz remains unproven; recent work is methodological (Lean formalization vulnerability, topological/ergodic reformulation) rather than a breakthrough. | MATH: Collatz map T(n) = n/2 if n even, (3n+1)/2 if n odd; no new constants or closed-form progress; ergodic approa...

24 Dimensional Leech Lattice Kissing Number Projection Set and Additive Mirror Symmetry Network

This work documents several number‑theoretic projection and additive mirror‑symmetry‑related observations for a finite integer set. The integer set K={12,23,34,39,141,171,182,268,273,329,376,403,453,487,697} is produced by means of a parameter‑free, pre‑specified sampling procedu...

Method for Student Enrolment Prediction for Preliminary Calculation of Teaching Load

This paper proposes a method for predicting the number of students expected to be enrolled at a higher education institution for its subsequent use in the preliminary calculation of teaching load for the upcoming academic year. The study presents the results of an analysis of exi...

TWO MOONS THAT NEVER WERE

We did not search for illusion. We searched for what left a trace. Geological cores tell us: about 12,900 years ago, something happened. The pink horizon in Onega. The platinum-iridium anomaly in Greenland. Cometary dust on Baffin Island. Turbidites along the African shelf. These...

Nocardia gipuzkoensis: clinical characterization, identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility

Nocardia gipuzkoensis was first described as a novel species in 2020. To date, infections caused by N. gipuzkoensis have rarely been reported. The prevalence of N. gipuzkoensis may be severely underestimated because N. gipuzkoensis was misidentified as Nocardia abscessus with 16...

Pythagorean Tuning: The Geometric Comma of Pure Ratios — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Pythagorean tuning is generated entirely by stacking perfect fifths (3:2) and octaves (2:1), producing a 12-tone cycle that never closes perfectly — the "Pythagorean comma" — and this pure-ratio system is geometrically encoded in the tetractys and Platonic solids. | MATH...

Organization of the Knowledge Base in a Subject-Oriented Decision Support System

The aim of this study is to develop a concept for organizing a knowledge base of a subject-oriented decision support system (DSS) that helps actors find ways out of the problematic situations they face. To achieve this aim, it is necessary to present the DSS architecture as a who...

High endophytic fungal diversity and the antagonistic Aspergillus niger Bzrh13 are associated with Atractylodes macrocephala root rot resistance

Root rot severely impairs the growth of Atractylodes macrocephala , a valuable medicinal plant. Despite the recognized importance of endophytic fungi in plant health, the endophytic fungal community associated with A. macrocephala root rot remains poorly characterized. Combining...

Immuno-nutritional discordance: a novel composite index derived from pan-immune-inflammation value and micronutrient reserve (IN-Hg score) for predicting refractory hyperemesis gravidarum

Abstract Objective Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) may exhibit a refractory course in some patients despite standard treatments. Validated biomarkers for the early identification of refractory HG are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the association and discriminative performance...

The molecular spectrum of alpha- and beta-thalassemia pathogenic variants in Indonesia: implications for national screening and prevention

Abstract Background Thalassemia is classified globally as a rare disease; however, it represents a major public health burden in many low‑ and middle‑income countries due to its high prevalence and limited access to care. In Indonesia, one of the world’s most genetically diverse...

Impact of Cash Transfers on Child Poverty Among School-aged Refugee Children: Evidence from Uganda

Abstract Cash transfers have increasingly become a popular method for delivering humanitarian assistance, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is limited evidence on the impact of cash transfers on multi-dimensional poverty among refugee children. We co...

The Solution of In-Finity Recurrence Reconstruction, Weighted Reflected Flows, and a Frozen Maxwell–Material Testbed

This manuscript presents a layered analytical framework for recurrence, reflection, field energy, symmetry, memory, and cross-scale constructions while keeping claim levels explicit. Standard mathematics is designated L0; consequences proved under declared assumptions, L1; framew...

The historical development of sample size estimation: from Huygens and Bernoulli to the present

This paper traces the historical development of frequentist sample size estimation from its philosophical origins to its present-day complexity. Preliminary concepts were identified by Christiaan Huygens’ work on expected value and Jacob Bernoulli’s law of large numbers , which f...
