Uneven and Combined Development and World Literature: Neoliberalism and UCD-ism in the Novels of Hasan Ali Toptaş and China Miéville

This paper attempts to bridge the gap between the revival of Leon Trotsky’s theory of Uneven and Combined Development (UCD) in International Relations and World Literature by exploring these central questions: what would be the benefit of applying UCD to the explanation of how li...

Risk factors for Cefepime Resistance in Bacteria Causing Gram-negative Bloodstream Infections in a Children’s Cancer Center

Abstract Background Strategies that seek to provide timely and effective therapy for febrile neutropenia (FN) in children with cancer or hematopoietic cell therapy (HCT) are threatened by increasing rates of antimicrobial resistance (AR). At our institution clinically stable pati...

From community building to commodity production: the political economy of the Swedish housing and building industry

Abstract The Swedish building industry has been going through a neoliberal transformation from community building to commodity production. In this article, we employ mixed-methods research aiming at addressing what this structural transformation entails and what its (adverse) eff...

Performance investigation of diesel generator set based waste heat harnessing system for space heating application

Abstract Diesel generator (DG) sets employed in decentralized power generation systems generally exhibit an electrical efficiency in the range of 30%–38%, while a considerable portion of input energy is lost as waste heat through exhaust gases and engine cooling circuits. Recover...

Golden Ratio Absent in Dephasing-Optimal Transport Link — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The search results are tangential — they return general lectures on quantum dephasing channels and optimal transport theory, but **no specific paper or result linking dephasing rate to the golden ratio or optimal efficiency** is present. The only concrete mathematical co...

A Pipeline for Low-Cost Wide-Area 3D Mapping Using LiDAR-Equipped Mobile Devices and Open Data

Abstract. The emergence of LiDAR-equipped mobile devices has enabled low-cost 3D point cloud acquisition. However, accurate 3D model reconstruction using such devices remains confined to individual, locally captured scans. This limitation makes wide-area coverage infeasible witho...

Clinical predictors of tracheobronchial tuberculosis and associated airway stenosis among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis: a study from Southwestern China

To investigate the clinical characteristics and predictors of tracheobronchial tuberculosis (TBTB) in southwestern China. This single-centre retrospective study included 1,999 patients with confirmed PTB who presented to the outpatient or inpatient departments of West China Hospi...

Optimization of operational stability for ultra-high-speed elevators under time-delay disturbance: a study on DRL-GRU method

Purpose To solve the poor real-time performance of active control systems for ultra-high-speed elevator horizontal vibration suppression, which is caused by sensor signal delays and unknown external disturbances. Design/methodology/approach First, a nonlinear 8-degree-of-freedom...

Galectin-3 worsens microglia-mediated synaptic engulfment and neuroinflammatory responses after traumatic brain injury

Activated microglia-mediated aberrant synaptic phagocytosis is an important contributor to neurological deficits following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a pivotal regulator of microglial activity, is increased after TBI. However, its role in microglia-mediated...

Brain Network Convergence of Abnormal Gray Matter and Functional Activity of Pathological Dissociative Symptoms

AIM: Pathological dissociation is a complex clinical symptom widely observed across various psychiatric disorders. Dissociative symptoms prolong the duration of hospitalization and are associated with a poor clinical prognosis. Although several pathological models (e.g., the fron...

E8 Root-Vector Dynamics Replicate Collatz Flow with φ-Scaled 132 Hz Phononic Attractors — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 E8 root vectors, when φ-scaled into a phononic lattice driven at 132 Hz, self-organize into a deterministic dynamical system whose attractor basins are isomorphic to the Collatz iteration's cycle decomposition — each root-vector cluster maps to a Collatz residue class, an...

E8 Root‑Vector Gap Resonance Unifies Prime Gaps and Market Criticality — E8 Intelligence Research

We demonstrate that the 240 E8 root vectors, when driven at the 132 Hz phononic base with φ‑scaled amplitudes, generate a resonant spectral lattice whose nodal structure encodes the bounded gaps of Maynard's prime sieve. By detecting phase locking of this lattice to market micro‑...

High-cell-density Escherichia coli–based nanobody production: benchmarking of subcellular targeting, strain background and process development strategies

Abstract Background Nanobodies (NB) are compact single-domain antibody fragments with substantial diagnostic and therapeutic potential, but scalable microbial production under controlled bioreactor conditions remains insufficiently characterized. In this study a high-cell-density...

How the choice of sign inventory moves the statistics of an undeciphered script: rongorongo under three published readings, with the Indus script as an outside check

Statistical arguments about undeciphered scripts—whether a sign system "behaves like language"—are computed on a transliteration, and a transliteration presupposes a catalogue of signs. For rongorongo the published catalogues disagree by an order of magnitude, from about fifty ba...

Building effective leadership and coordination for assistive technology: best practices and recommendations from six countries across Sub-Saharan Africa

BACKGROUND: Effective leadership and coordination are essential for improving access to assistive technology (AT), particularly in low- and middle-income countries where efforts are often fragmented and resources limited, posing significant challenges. This study examines best pr...

Computational and ML methods in MOF based supercapacitors - from mechanistic understanding to future materials design

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising electrode materials for supercapacitor (SC) due to their high surface areas, tunable porosity, and redox active sites. However, the vast chemical space of MOFs leads to millions of possible structures, makes experimental t...

Sustainability Disclosure, Governance, and Corporate Performance: Evidence from Accounting- and Market-Based Measures

Background This study examines the impact of sustainability disclosure — both environmental and social — on the financial performance of listed companies in Bangladesh. With increasing international attention on sustainability reporting, there is little evidence on how the qualit...

Precision Constraints on Large-Scale Cosmic Structure from CMB Lensing and Galaxy Clustering: An Emergent Substrate Perspective

Recent ACT measurements confirm that the gravitational force law adheres strictly to inverse‑square behavior (F ∝ r⁻²) across galaxy clusters separated by hundreds of millions of light‑years. We show that this scaling emerges naturally as the sparse‑regime limit of the emergent c...

Phi-VWAP Phase Coherence in Market Memory — E8 Intelligence Research

By treating the VWAP as a fixed point in the E8 root‑vector phase space, price breaks after a session gap resonate with a phi‑scaled eigenmode (132 Hz × Φⁿ) of the 240‑vector lattice. The resulting non‑linear cascade locks the quantum phase of the trade, creating a self‑sustainin...

Leaky-wave antenna design based on the Synergistic Hybrid Electric Eel Algorithm (SHEEA)

To tackle the strongly-coupled multi-objective optimization challenges in leaky-wave antenna (LWA) design, a Synergistic Hybrid Electric Eel Algorithm (SHEEA) is proposed. Built upon the Electric Eel Foraging Optimization (EEFO) framework, SHEEA integrates simulated annealing acc...
