When AI Venting Helps or Harms: How Perceived Anonymity Shapes Supportive Interactions With Conversational Agents

Artificial intelligence conversational agents are increasingly used for emotional venting, yet their psychological implications remain paradoxically unclear. AI-assisted venting can both support and harm well-being, raising questions about when human-AI interactions are beneficia...

Impact of Physico-Chemical Heterogeneity on the Reactive Transport Processes of Chromium (VI) in the Porous Medium

The reactive transport of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in anthropogenically disturbed sites (e.g., mine waste rock dumps, chromium salt industrial sites) is critically influenced by physico-chemical heterogeneity, yet the interplay between physical and chemical heterogeneities re...

High uptake and adherence to cervical cancer screening among older French women based on a midwife-led outreach strategy and vaginal self-sampling: results from the RIDECA study

The acceptability and effectiveness of the invitation strategies using self-sample devices for cervical cancer screening are critical before further implementation. In France, participation of older women in cervical cancer screening remains low, and studies evaluating outreach s...

Relationships Between Physical Activity, Psychological Symptoms, and Sleep Quality in Young Adults: A Body Composition Perspective

Background: Physical activity, mental health, and sleep are interconnected factors influencing well-being in young adults. This study investigated the relationships among physical activity, psychological symptoms (depression, anxiety, stress), sleep quality, and body composition...

Financial literacy and performance of micro and small enterprises: The mediating role of fintech adoption

Amid rapid technological change and complex financial markets, integrating knowledge resources and technological capabilities is a strategic way to address the challenges facing micro and small enterprises and to bolster their performance. Drawing on the knowledge-based view and...

Effect of Herbal Tea Consumption on Blood Sugar Levels: A Review of Current Evidence

Diabetes mellitus, particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), has become a major public health concern worldwide. Along with medicines, healthy eating, regular physical activity, and weight management, there is growing interest in simple dietary approaches that may help improv...

Multi-Horizon Short-Term GPU Utilization Forecasting Based on Deep Sequence Models

Short-term GPU utilization forecasts are useful for scheduling, resource allocation, and capacity planning, but production traces are rarely smooth. They contain spikes, regime changes, idle periods, and incomplete observations. We study this problem on the MIT Supercloud Dataset...

The Specificity Floor: Dual-Use Detection Is an Information Problem, Not a Model Problem

Living-off-the-land / dual-use activity is the hard core of intrusion detection: a benign administrator and an attacker run the same tools, and on host telemetry their events can be shaped identically. We show that separating them is an information problem, not a model problem —...

Integrative Transcriptomic Analysis Identifies Glycolysis/Ferroptosis-Associated Candidate Genes in Gastric Cancer

Background: The crosstalk between glycolysis, ferroptosis and the gastric cancer (GC) immune microenvironment remains poorly defined. This study aims to uncover glycolysis/ferroptosis-related regulators of the GC immune microenvironment.Methods: Transcriptomic datasets from The C...

Near-infrared self-written waveguide spot size converter for single- and multichannel fiber-to-chip self-coupling

Near-infrared (NIR) light-induced self-written (LISW) optical waveguide technology provides passive alignment between telecommunications and silicon photonic devices and offers high-throughput and self-alignment advantages. Although fiber-to-chip self-coupling based on the NIR LI...

Medullary GABAergic neurons constitute a neural brake coordinating respiratory rhythm in vivo

Motor behaviors, such as walking and breathing, depend on neural circuits combining excitatory and inhibitory neurons to produce rhythmic motor activities. Breathing is a critical autonomic motor function that requires excitatory and inhibitory circuits to orchestrate inhalation...

Polyphenol-Rich Opuntia ficus-indica Cladodes: An Integrated Metabolomic, In Vivo and In Silico Study Supporting Their Hypolipidemic and Hepatoprotective Effects

Background: Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiometabolic disorders, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and is closely associated with oxidative stress. Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI) cladodes are recognized as a rich source of bioactive phytochemicals;...

Managing What You Cannot Measure: Anesthetic Implications of Takayasu’s Arteritis in Hypertensive Intracranial Hemorrhage

ABSTRACT: Takayasu's arteritis is a rare inflammatory vasculopathy affecting medium- and large-caliber arteries, often presenting as cerebrovascular incidents in young individuals, primarily due to uncontrolled hypertension. The following is the case of a young male with no known...

The power of adaptation: Multilingual localisation of extIPA for clinical phonetics and cross-linguistic speech assessment

The Extensions to the International Phonetic Alphabet (extIPA) support clinical transcription of atypical and disordered speech, but their chart metalanguage is primarily available in English. This article presents a feasibility study of multilingual extIPA localisation as clinic...

Chemical Profiling and In Vitro Bioactivities of Extracts from the Red Alga Jania rubens Collected from the Lebanese Coast

Jania rubens (J. rubens), a Mediterranean red seaweed, is rich in bioactive compounds with potential medicinal applications. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of Lebanese J. rubens through in vitro evaluation of its anti-diabetic, anti-coagulant, anti-inflammatory...

Implementation of a Novel Adaptive Deep Learning-based Change Detection Framework under Flood Environment

An important and efficient Remote Sensing (RS) application is change detection, as it aids in locating the crucial changed areas and offers respective time-series data with the assistance of RS imagery. Here, one of the common and unexpected tragedies is flood, which affects the...
