Does the supply of eco-assets match the demand for eco-products spatially? A case study of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration

The value realization of eco-assets through eco-product consumption requires both a sufficient ecological supply base and enabling demand-side conditions. Yet assessments in economically developed regions often focus on supply alone. A supply-only assessment can hide the spatial...

Spatial Bias in Plant Biodiversity Data for Pakistan: A Quantitative Analysis of GBIF Records

Independent analysis of 123,000+ plant occurrence records from GBIF for Pakistan, quantifying geographic and taxonomic data gaps with implications for conservation planning and machine learning applications.

Cognitive UAV-driven agro-surveillance framework for predicting crop stress–induced yield loss using spatio-temporal learning and adaptive irrigation control

Precision agriculture is becoming more and more of a challenge that requires the use of intelligent systems that are able to predict stress and prevent yield loss before it is too late. Traditional methods of agricultural surveillance are predominantly reactive with irrigation de...

Surface self-doping capabilities in anodic Nb2O5 prepared by plasma electrolytic oxidation

Self-doping is an effective strategy for introducing defects in metal oxides such as Nb2O5, thereby modifying their electrochemical properties. The formation of defects, such as oxygen vacancies, has been associated with decreased surface charge-transfer resistance and increased...

Investigation on energy collection characteristics of novel non-imaging cusp concentrator

In solar energy utilization, the concentrating performance of the conventional non–imaging cusp concentrator (NICC) is degraded due to the gap design. To address this, this paper conducts structural optimization design on NICC, thereby forming a novel non-imaging cusp concentrato...

Institutionalizing portfolio entrepreneurship: the Venture Studio model

Venture Studios (VSs) are organizations that create start-ups by acting as founders or co-founders and operating through standardized venture creation processes conducted in parallel. To examine this organizational model and delineate its distinctiveness from others, we developed...

Chicken, Egg, or Both? Disentangling Disposition and Distrust in Filipino Attitudes Toward Government Dole-Outs

Filipino public discourse frequently characterizes reliance on government assistance, particularly dole-out programs such as the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), as evidence of a fixed “dependency mentality,” even as the same public consistently expresses distrust towar...

Tularemia in pediatric patients in Sivas Province: a 15-year clinical experience

Tularemia is a clinically important yet often underrecognized cause of persistent cervical lymphadenopathy in children living in endemic regions, and delayed diagnosis may lead to prolonged morbidity, inappropriate antibiotic use, and unnecessary invasive procedures. This study a...

Bounding Inaction in Clinical AI Safety Arguments from Fail-Safe to Fail-Operational

Safety arguments for clinical artificial intelligence are stated in one direction: the system must not do what it should not do. Other fields have recognised the complement - automotive functional safety requires fail-operational rather than merely fail-safe behaviour, and the sa...

Multimodal fusion of complementary material representations for generalizable and interpretable property prediction

Material properties often depend on coupled compositional, structural, and geometric factors that are incompletely captured by any single representation. We introduce interpretable multimodal fusion (IM-Fuse), a framework that integrates compositional descriptors, crystal graphs,...

Social Support and Stress Management Strategies Among Business Students

Social support represents an important psychosocial resource in helping university students manage academic demands and respond to stressful experiences. This study examined the relationship between social support and stress management strategies among business students in a univ...

Intimate partner violence against Jordanian women: a systematic review of prevalence, associated factors, and health outcomes

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pervasive public health problem in many countries, including Jordan. To our knowledge, no systematic reviews have been conducted in Jordan regarding the prevalence of IPV, its associated factors, and related health outcomes. This systematic re...

Ending the VAR protocol: How referee joint decisions become final in football

This study explores how Video Assistant Referee (VAR) protocols are closed in professional football. Drawing on 107 recordings released by the Turkish Football Federation in 2024–2025, it uses ethnomethodology and conversation analysis to investigate how referees and VAR official...

Incidence, risk factors, and prognostic implications of hospitalizations for heart failure among patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV), and myelofibrosis (MF), are a group of chronic leukemias associated with increased risk of heart failure (HF). Despite a link between MPNs and HF, prognostic implications and ri...

The Art of Printing [3D Engineering & Advanced Geometry]

There are sequences of actions that we repeat everyday. Among them is the printing action: print a numeric paper in pdf format and save it on your computer, or print it using a Xerox Machine or HP-printer. We found out we can do More: Let us Print in 3D Dimension, and investigate...

S³‑Delta: Spectral‑Stratum SpatioTemporal Delta A Scale‑Reliable Operator for Long‑Horizon Fuzzy Spatial Memory

Long sequences with coordinates obey two different orders: observations arrive in time, while memories should be reactivated by physical location. For an agent that continuously scans a two- or three-dimensional space, a useful fixed-capacity memory should fuzzily recall nearby h...

Research on accident risk prediction and grade classification of horizontal curve sections of expressways based on SHAP-SVR model

Conventional prediction models used in expressway risk-assessment systems often provide insufficient support for identifying and classifying crash-prone road segments. This study develops an interpretable framework integrating SHAP with support vector regression (SHAP–SVR) to pre...

Sonic borders: Sound, governmentality and migration

The role of sound as a sensorial weapon in the governmentality of migration has received little attention. This article examines how sound functions as a technology of border control and, conversely, how refugees living in alternative housing, i.e. squats, resist via their own so...

Exploring the nutritional benefits of millets for public health, food security, and sustainable agriculture

Recently, there has been a growing interest in millets due to their exceptional nutritional benefits and potential for enhancing global food security. Due to their ability to withstand water-scarce regions, these resilient grains have attracted the interest of food scientists, te...

Mapping Attachment Styles, Hope, And Resilience Among Intimate Partner Violence Survivors: A Basis for Recovery-Oriented Interventions

Intimate partner violence remains a significant psychological, social, and public health concern in the Philippines, where survivors' recovery may be shaped by relational trauma, cultural expectations, spirituality, family responsibilities, and access to institutional support. Th...
