Identifying conflict hotspots in Papua through integrated graph theory and clustering analysis

Abstract Conflict in Papua has long attracted academic and policy attention, yet most studies remain descriptive and qualitative, leaving gaps in predictive capacity and quantitative validation. This study addresses these limitations by applying an integrated computational framew...

Gut microbiome composition and plasma cytokines in acute leukaemia in relation to chemotherapy

Abstract Background: The gut microbiome and cytokines are involved in maintaining immune homeostasis and may influence the prognosis and complications experienced by acute leukaemia (AL) patients receiving chemotherapy. Methodology: This longitudinal study analysed blood and stoo...

Non-linear associations of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D with serum homocysteine and hyperhomocysteinemia in Chinese adults: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] deficiency and elevated homocysteine (Hcy) levels are both well-established risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the relationship between 25(OH)D and Hcy remains unclear. To explore the association betwee...

Polyphasic and genomic characterisation of Streptomyces zimensis sp. nov., a halotolerant Actinomycetota from the Saline Lake Zima in Morocco

Abstract Members of the phylum Actinomycetota are widely distributed across diverse environments and are well known for their metabolic versatility and capacity to produce bioactive compounds. In this study, strain ZE1316R2Aᵀ was isolated from the saline water collected from Lake...

Undifferentiated Domain Projection Theory (UDPT) — First Edition

Undifferentiated Domain Projection Theory (UDPT) — First Edition, v2.22.2-r2. This release is a separately frozen Corrective Revision of v2.22.2. It preserves the established theory scope and does not introduce a substantive new theory version. UDPT distinguishes a philosophical...

Coherence‐Preserving Fluctuation Diagnostics for an Engineered Population‐Inverted Qubit Otto Engine

ABSTRACT Finite‐time quantum thermal machines require diagnostics beyond average work and efficiency because microscopic engines operate where fluctuations, incomplete thermalization, and coherence strongly affect performance. A coherence‐preserving fluctuation diagnostic is deve...

Impact of calorific value on thermal activation and desilication performance of high-alumina coal gangue

Coal gangue is a major industrial solid waste generated from coal mining and processing, and amorphous silica removal is the key to its high-value utilization. To optimize thermal activation-desilication process of coal gangue, this study investigated the effect of inherent calor...

Barriers to occupational health and safety management in micro and small enterprises: a multi-level analysis from a developing country context

Occupational health and safety (OHS) in micro and small enterprises (MSE) remains a critical challenge, given their disproportionate exposure to occupational risks and limited capacity to implement structured health and safety management practices. Although previous studies have...

Prevalence, determinants, and sociocultural correlates of early childhood caries among preschool children In Urban Kano, Nigeria

Abstract Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) represents a significant public health burden in Nigeria, yet epidemiological data from northern regions remain scarce. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, severity, and key determinants of ECC among preschool children i...

Race all the way down, race all the way up: A unifying vocabulary for bounded-commit dynamics across quantum, classical, biological, and computational substrates

The same bounded-commit dynamics recur, unnamed, across quantum decoherence and einselection, classical Onsager–Machlup path integrals with Kramers escape, race-model accumulators in decision neuroscience, and autoregressive language models — literatures whose citation patterns l...

Phase Multiplexing for Non-Adaptive Dead-Spot Suppression in GHZ Parity Metrology

Phase-multiplexed GHZ metrology is a non-adaptive quantum sensing protocol designed to suppress "dead spots"—regions of zero sensitivity—inherent in standard Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states under X-basis parity readout. In a single-branch GHZ interferometer, the Classica...

Observations of Atmospheric Helium and Oxygen With SPHEREx

Abstract We present measurements of near‐infrared (NIR) terrestrial airglow produced by helium and oxygen in the exosphere as observed by the Spectro‐Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and ices Explorer (SPHEREx). Using 8 months of survey data obta...

Reproduction package for the mechanism ablation tables of ZenBrain: A Neuroscience-Inspired 7-Layer Memory Architecture for Autonomous AI Systems (arXiv:2604.23878). npm install npm run experiments Four suites, 95 tests. No API keys, no network, no data files, no external service...

Haplotype-phased assemblies of the two poplar rust fungi species: Melampsora larici-populina and Melampsora allii-populina

Dikaryotic rust fungi maintain two distinct haploid nuclei for most of their life cycle, making their large, repeat-rich genomes difficult to assemble and phase. Here we present haplotype-phased, near chromosome-scale genome assemblies for the poplar rust pathogens Melampsora lar...

Why do burying beetles bury? Competition and the fitness benefits of parental care

Abstract Parental care increases the fitness of current offspring at a cost to their parents, compromising parental resources for future reproduction. Given this inherent conflict and cost, complex parental care is relatively uncommon. Reliance on a rare and critical resource for...

Global ghost fishing characterization model for derelict bottom set gillnets

Ghost fishing, the unintended capture of marine life by abandoned, lost, and discarded fishing gear, is a major driver of biodiversity loss in the marine environment. Among major fishing gear types, derelict gillnets are widely considered to pose the greatest threat to marine bio...

Λ-EG Emergent Gravitational Coherence and Galactic Dynamics Without Particle Dark Matter

Lambda-EG v10 # RELEASE OVERVIEW — This release updates the de Sitter derivation of the critical acceleration scale and clarifies the separation between the primary scalar construction and the Dirac–Lichnerowicz consistency route. ## Key changes Replaced the previous horizon heat...

Variable-specific preprocessing enables cross-scale transferable Raman models from high-throughput bioreactor data

Abstract Raman spectroscopy is increasingly used as a process analytical technology (PAT) for real-time monitoring of bioprocesses. However, chemometric models developed using high-throughput (HT) mini-bioreactor systems often show limited predictive performance when applied to l...

When scientific constraints and real-world implementation collide: lessons from a hybrid type 3 study of a digital, direct-to-consumer HIV prevention program

Background: Digital HIV prevention interventions (DHIs) are efficacious in increasing prevention behaviors, and delivering them direct-to-consumer (DTC) expands their reach. However, few have successfully moved rigorously-studied DHIs from research to public health practice. Hybr...

Examining knowledge of Mpox among primary care physicians in North-Western Nigeria: an online cross-sectional study

Abstract Background : Mpox is a rare but re-emerging zoonotic disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality. As primary care physicians serve as gatekeepers in the healthcare system, it is essential that they be proficient at identifying and coordinating care for suspec...
