Routes to Roots: Homecoming and the Construction of Identity in Susan Abulhawa’s The Blue Between Sky and Water

Palestinians in exile have long navigated the physical and emotional complexities of displacement. They occupy a distinctive space between the inherited memory of ancestral homeland and the lived transnational realities in exile. This article aims to examine the dynamics of homec...

Predicting principals’ retention in the principalship through professional development, instructional leadership, and job satisfaction: a cross-national meta-analysis of country-specific structural equation models

This research addressed the global challenge of principal retention by examining associations between principals’ professional development activities and their intention to remain, including indirect associations involving instructional leadership and career and workplace satisfa...

Seismic upgrading of an RC frame building using double-stage yield buckling-restrained braces

Nowadays, a large number of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures require strengthening to meet the new building functions and enhanced seismic demands. Double-stage yield buckling-restrained braces (DYBRBs), capable of yielding at different seismic intensities, offer a pr...

Are minority rights only for us?

*What the AfD’s plans for Radio CORAX ask of South Tyrol* Following the AfD’s electoral success in Saxony-Anhalt, its call to cut funding for Radio CORAX has become more than a campaign line. This blog asks what such a proposal means from a South Tyrolean perspective, where publi...

Helical Holographic Hidden Quantum Mechanics (H3QM): A Unified Geometric Field Theory of Matter, Space-Time, Categorical Cybernetics, and Constructive CAP Verification

Modern theoretical physics has reached a profound foundational impasse: the Standard Model of particle physics requires 19+ empirical input parameters and unphysical renormalization subtractions, General Relativity resists non-perturbative quantum quantization, and cosmological s...

Isomerization-Driven Photo-Coloration and Elastic Bendability: A Unique Blend of Molecular and Structural Property in Organic Single Crystals

Abstract This study analyzes the trans−cis isomerization-induced photo-coloration in elastically bendable chalcone single crystals. Crystal’s bendability, fluorescence, photo-coloration, and thermal stability have exhibited substantial changes by para-substitution with chloro, io...

Blistered by Benzodiazepines: A Rare Case of Lorazepam-induced Bullous Drug Reaction

Abstract Lorazepam is routinely prescribed for managing alcohol withdrawal. It is particularly useful in patients with liver disease. However, lorazepam can cause side effects, such as sedation, respiratory depression, and ataxia, but cutaneous side effects are rare. A 40-year-ol...

Incorporating Education for Sustainability into the Construction Law Curriculum

Abstract This paper applies the concept of education for sustainability to the teaching of construction law. Given that the built environment is responsible for 25% of the United Kingdom’s greenhouse gas emissions, there is a need for legal and construction professionals to engag...

Quasi-3D Numerical Modeling of Groundwater Flow, Particle Transport, and Clogging-Induced Interlayer Leakage in Heterogeneous Multilayer Aquifers

Physical clogging during managed aquifer recharge can reduce aquifer conductivity and alter leakage across intervening aquitards. This study presents a quasi-three-dimensional model coupling horizontal groundwater flow, suspended-particle transport, retention, porosity and conduc...

Aggregation and toxicity in bacteria of Rep-WH1 prion-like proteins from the phytopathogen Xylella fastidiosa

ABSTRACT Xylella fastidiosa is a global bacterial phytopathogen that colonizes the xylem vessels, leading to their occlusion and thus to plant death. The expression of the amyloidogenic, prion-like WH1 domain of the replication protein RepA from the Pseudomonas savastanoi plasmid...

Secretome-dependent antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activity of Lactobacillus johnsonii against multidrug-resistant Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli

Abstract Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a leading cause of persistent diarrhea in children in low- and middle-income countries, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains necessitates non-antibiotic therapeutic strategies. This study evaluated Lactobacil...

Spatially Decoupled Cascade Oxygen Reduction on Bi Single‐Atom and Cluster‐Hybrid Sites for Hydroxyl Radical Generation

ABSTRACT The two‐electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e − ORR) for H 2 O 2 production and the subsequent in situ activation to ·OH are constrained by linear scaling relationships, making it difficult for a single active site to simultaneously optimize O 2 activation and H 2 O 2 c...

Staged arrangement of the population process associated with the "Great Replacement": a verification against French official statistics (INSEE, DGEF, Ined)

This work arranges the population process associated with the "Great Replacement" into five stages (Arrival, Settlement, Visibility, Population-engine reversal, National replacement complete) and tests each stage against French official statistics (INSEE, DGEF, Ined; retrieved 20...

An explicit eight-dimensional family of K3 surfaces with real multiplication by Q(√5)

For a K3 surface whose transcendental lattice has real multiplication (RM), the Hodge conjecture for its self-product comes down to the algebraicity of that multiplication. Families of K3 surfaces with RM by a real quadratic field have at most eight moduli; such families exist by...

DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF RP-HPLC METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF LAMIVUDINE AND DOLUTEGRAVIR SODIUM IN TABLET DOSAGE FORM

ABSTRACTA simple, specific, precise, and accurate RP-HPLC method was successfully developed forthe simultaneous estimation of Lamivudine and Dolutegravir sodium in tablet dosage forms.Spectral scanning was carried out using a JASCO UV spectrophotometer with quartz cuvettesfor sam...

Prediction of Mechanical Strength of AALRS under Extreme Lunar Environments: An Interpretable Stacking Ensemble Model Integrated with Hyperparameter Optimization Algorithms

Abstract Alkali-activated lunar regolith is a promising extraterrestrial material for large-scale construction of lunar bases. However, the complex coupling effects of multiple influencing factors present significant challenges to strength prediction and mechanistic interpretatio...

The ubiquitin–proteasome system and proteostasis in the cochlea and sensorineural hearing disorders

Abstract The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) is the major machinery for intracellular protein degradation, playing an indispensable role in maintaining proteostasis across all tissues. Sensorineural hearing loss affects billions of people worldwide and is characterized by the i...

Zircon U-Pb Geochronology and Mineral Chemistry of Xinhe Mafic Rocks: Petrological Constraints on Water Heterogeneity in the Emeishan Large Igneous Province

The debate of hydrous and anhydrous mafic magmatism in the Emeishan large igneous province (ELIP) requires more robust petrological and mineralogical evidence. This paper reports zircon U–Pb ages, clinopyroxene and hornblende major element compositions, whole-rock geochemical and...

Using machine learning to evaluate a non-selective enhanced recovery pathway for hip and knee arthroplasty: perioperative factors associated with same-day and early discharge

Abstract Introduction Same-day and early discharge after total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) depend not only on patient characteristics but on the perioperative pathway itself. This study used supervised machine learning (ML) to evaluate a universal, non-selective enhanced...

Lawmaking by European unions and employers: A vision unfulfilled

This article discusses why over the past 35 years the ‘lawmaking through a framework agreement' option of the European trade unions and employers’ organizations, based on Art. 154-155 TFEU, has hardly been used. It discusses the reasons why this is the case, pointing to a variety...
