REASON FOR USING FREQUENCY AND PERCENTAGE TO ANALYZE CATEGORICAL DATA

Data analysis is a critical stage of research because it enables the organization, summarization and interpretation of collected information. Categorical data consist of observations classified into distinct groups, such as gender, occupation or responses to yes/no questions. Fre...

Trajectories of refraction and strabismus from 2.5 to 12 years in a national cohort of extremely preterm children‐ the Extremely Preterm Infants in Sweden Study (EXPRESS)

Abstract Purpose To investigate the longitudinal development of refraction and strabismus in a national cohort of children born extremely preterm (EPT) and find relations to perinatal events and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Methods All surviving children born <27‐gestation wee...

E8‑Phi Hierarchical Spectral Encoding (EPHEW) of Number‑Theoretic Invariants — E8 Intelligence Research

The EPHEW principle shows that a 240‑element E8‑root phononic lattice, driven at 132 Hz with successive φ‑phase shifts, produces a self‑similar cascade of bandgaps whose spectral signatures encode a scalable arithmetic invariant that mirrors the ABC conjecture's quality. By feedi...

Hybrid flax/carbon bonded composite patches for strengthening of steel plates: layup and adhesive effect

Adhesive bonding of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) patches is increasingly used to strengthen steel structures. Considering that carbon FRP (CFRP) and epoxy adhesives are the primary materials in industrial applications, this study explores the feasibility of hybridizing CFRPs wi...

Does Internal Carbon Pricing Enhance Productivity? Evidence From US Firms

ABSTRACT Internal carbon pricing (ICP) is increasingly integrated into corporate climate strategy, yet evidence on whether it improves operational performance remains limited. Drawing on dynamic capabilities theory (DCT), this study investigates whether ICP disclosure is associat...

CUSTOS - Comprehensive Unified System for Title Ownership & Security

Bangladesh's land administration system loses an estimated 10% of GDP annually to litigation backlogs alone, with 77.4% of households paying bribes to complete a routine ownership mutation. This paper presents CUSTOS (Comprehensive Unified System for Title Ownership & Security),...

Rethinking training for healthcare professionals caring for adults with intellectual disabilities: Expanding learning dimensions and addressing assessment gaps

Despite widespread recognition of the need for training programs for healthcare professionals on intellectual disability, it remains inconsistently integrated into medical and nursing curricula. This systematic review aims to explore how training programs addressing care for adul...

Electronic Structure Modulation of Ni 2 P Nanospheres via Interfacial Control With Lattice‐Expanded MoS 2 Nanosheets for Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution

ABSTRACT The development of cost‐effective and durable electrocatalysts is a prerequisite for scalable hydrogen production via water electrolysis. In this context, modulating the electronic structure of transition‐metal phosphide electrocatalysts via interfacial engineering with...

Collective FluidCoupling in Ultrathin Covalent OrganicFramework Membranes for High-Performance Electrokinetic Energy Harvesting

Abstract Nanofluidic membranes hold promise for hydroelectric energy harvesting, but their output power is often limited by high fluidic impedance. Here, we fabricate ultrathin covalent organic framework (COF) membranes with AA-stacked, regular nanopore arrays. These membranes ex...

Inter-examiner reliability in periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning using the 2018 classification and the EFP S3 clinical guideline

Abstract Background The 2018 Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions introduced a multidimensional diagnostic framework incorporating staging, grading, and extent, the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) S3-level clinical practice guidelines...

Corrosion Behavior and Mechanism of High-Oxidation-Potential Cu-Modified V2SnC in Chloride Molten Salts

Abstract High-temperature molten salt systems are essential for energy storage and molten salt reactors, but their corrosiveness limits the durability of structural materials. MAX phases offer excellent high-temperature stability and oxidation resistance, yet the selective dissol...
