Alcohol consumption and cause-specific mortality in older men: Whitehall-1 study of London civil servants

Abstract The relationship between alcohol consumption and cause-specific mortality in adults aged ≥ 70 years remain unclear. This study assessed the associations between alcohol consumption with risks of cause-specific mortality in older men. This study included 4,582 London Civi...

Electronic Topological Impedance, Scale Projection, and the g−2 Fine-Structure Constant Correction

Within the GDUM three-layer architecture, the electron mass is not a fundamental constant natively prescribed at the programmatic layer. Rather, it is a topological impedance coupling node generated at the representational layer of the electromagnetic channel after the ℤ₂ two-she...

Failure Propagation and Reliability Degradation in Maritime Kill Webs with Multi-Domain Heterogeneous Function-Carrying Platforms

Maritime kill webs integrate heterogeneous platforms across air, surface, and underwater domains, with each platform potentially supporting multiple mission functions. Existing reliability models often represent attacks as complete node removals and therefore cannot distinguish o...

Sexually Transmitted Infections in the Third Age: Rising Risk Among over 65-Year-Old Persons in Southern Sardinia

Background/Objectives: Population ageing and the persistence of sexual activity in later life are reshaping sexual health needs. Older adults are often overlooked in STI surveillance and prevention, and data on infections among those aged ≥65 years remain limited. This study desc...

‘Don’t forget to post it on LinkedIn’: Identity regulation and the assetization of employees’ online selves

What happens to employees’ sense of who they are online when their organization tells them how to present themselves on LinkedIn? Companies increasingly intervene in employees’ professional social media presence through training programs and internal policies, encouraging them to...

Genome wide identification, characterization of upstream protein kinases involving CBF dependent pathway and antioxidant enzyme analysis in Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) under brassinosteroid and cold treatment

Abstract Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroidal plant hormones involved in regulation of physiological and molecular processes to ameliorate various biotic and abiotic stresses. Exogenous application of BRs to improve stress tolerance in plants has recently become a high research p...

Unsolved Problems and Idempotent Mathematics: A Survey of Open Questions — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The search results are a collection of popular expositions on unsolved problems (Riemann Hypothesis, P vs NP, Navier–Stokes, etc.) and one specific technical volume on idempotent/tropical mathematics; no new competition-specific open problem is solved or even precisely s...

IOUF Series: Papers VI–XI, v1.0 (Electroweak to Settling Cosmology)

IOUF (Information–Observer Unified Framework) series, Papers VI–XI, preprint v1.0. Paper VI derives the electroweak gauge structure and chirality from readout geometry; Paper VII reconstructs QCD from the three-mode cycle; Paper VIII gives the neutrino sector of the flavor clock;...

A Recursive-Ontological Critique of Chalmers' Hard Problem, Philosophical Zombies, and Subjectivity Privilege: AI Consciousness Ethics, Qualia, and Scientific Grain Size

This paper presents a recursive-ontological critique of David Chalmers' hard problem of consciousness, the philosophical zombie argument, and the ontological privilege granted to subjectivity. Centered on the state-update equation S_n = f(S_{n-1}, W_n), it deconstructs the first-...

Quran Memorization as a Naturalistic Neurocognitive Training Paradigm: A Quality-Weighted Evidence Synthesis in Student Populations

Aim We aimed to quantitatively synthesize observational evidence on the association between memorization ( Hifz ) and cognitive and mental health outcomes in students, using a quality-weighted evidence synthesis approach. Method For observational studies published between 2005 an...

Gesture-based rehabilitation as an assistive technology for post-infectious and post-critical illness disabilities: opportunities and challenges

OBJECTIVE: This commentary examines gesture-based rehabilitation (GBR) as an assistive technology within an ecosystem for survivors of infectious diseases with neurological disabilities. It describes the roles of computer vision, markerless motion capture, depth cameras, artifici...

Peers, not influencers, align the attention of social media users

Frozen confirmatory analysis plan (frozen 9 October 2026), complete processing log and literature search for a study of peer and influencer alignment on Bluesky.

Light verb constructions in Lausberg area

Abstract This paper investigates a construction attested in the Cannese dialect, a Calabrese variety of the Lausberg area (more specifically, the Mittelzone ), consisting of the light verb fɛ́ ‘to do’ followed by a reduplicated verbal form (V+V). The construction encodes aspectua...

From Data to Decisions: Mathematical and Computational Frameworks in Marketing—A Systematic Review and Bibliometric Analysis

The increasing availability of large-scale consumer data and advances in computational technologies have transformed marketing into a data-driven discipline. Mathematical and computational frameworks play a critical role in supporting decision-making processes by enabling organiz...

Simulating historical and future rainfall and temperature variability and trends in Fedis district, Eastern Ethiopia

ABSTRACT Climate change, driven by human activities, is causing rising global temperatures and rainfall variability. Africa, especially eastern Africa, faces severe impacts due to warming trends, declining rainfall, and reliance on rain-fed agriculture. This research article aime...

AI advancements can advance environmental inequities and health harms

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressively being utilized in many industries. In order to meet the increasingly computational AI demands, more data centers are being developed. Unfortunately, health concerns related to climate change, energy consumption, air p...

Effectiveness of an Artificial Intelligence–Assisted HIV Educational Video for Improving HIV Health Literacy Among Indonesian Adolescents

Adolescents in low- and middle-income countries continue to face substantial barriers in accessing effective HIV education, despite global efforts in prevention. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a culturally adapted HIV educational video developed using artificial intell...

Shadow or law? Measured numbers as projections of an invariant whole, and a test of which of them could be fixed by structure

Which measured numbers could be fixed by structure, rather than depend on a frame, convention, epoch or history? This paper develops the shadow principle: measured quantities are projections of an invariant whole. Its familiar instances are established physics; its general extens...

Encountering antibiotic resistance: Current challenges and emerging solutions in the post-antibiotic era

Antibiotic resistance has become one of the greatest threats to global health in this century, causing many health problems in many countries. In contrast, the multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains developed mechanisms to encounter surrounding toxic compounds in their envir...

Improved Visualization of Heart Valves With 4D-CT Using a Novel Motion Correction Algorithm

OBJECTIVE: Motion artifacts remain a limitation of cardiac CT when assessing both native and prosthetic heart valves, particularly during phases of rapid motion. This may lead to reduced image quality, potentially impairing the evaluation of valvular movement and pathology. The p...
