A Field Guide to Corralling the Chaos: A Planning Framework for Using Models to Guide Opportunistic Field Studies of Natural Disturbances

Abstract Watersheds regulate biogeochemical processes and provide ecosystem services to human societies, but disturbances can fundamentally alter these processes across space and time. Determining when and where to sample to capture disturbance impacts in watersheds remains a cen...

Non-urgent emergency department utilization in adults: a systematic review of associated factors across diverse health systems

Non-urgent emergency department (ED) visits represent a growing global challenge with significant economic and operational consequences. Despite previous reviews, important gaps remain. No review has included all commonly used terms for non-urgent ED visits, recent evidence has n...

Opioid prescription patterns for hidradenitis suppurativa in the emergency versus ambulatory care settings

Abstract Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is associated with significant pain. However, there is a paucity of literature examining opioid prescription patterns in HS in different healthcare settings. We aim to determine differences in opioid prescription patterns between HS patients...

Personality traits and social self-efficacy are associated with university students’ perceptions of employability

Why do some students feel more employable than others even before entering the labour market? Drawing on the Big Five personality framework, Social Cognitive Theory, and Social Cognitive Career Theory, this study examines how personality traits and social self-efficacy shape univ...

The Causal Solution Trilogy — Theory, Global Multimeter, and Local Causal Solver - La trilogie de la solution causale _ version francaise incluse

The Causal Solution Trilogy Theory, Global Multimeter, and Local Causal Solver The Causal Solution Trilogy gathers the theoretical and mathematical foundation of the Causal Solution into three complementary volumes: the theory of causal closure, the Global Causal Multimeter, and...

The Nurses’ Coping Resource Inventory (N-CRI): A Salutogenic Framework for Holistic Nurse Burnout Resilience

Background Burnout represents a global workforce crisis that undermines holistic nurse wellbeing, care quality and workforce retention, especially in low-resource health systems. Although sense of coherence (SOC) and adaptive coping promote resilience, holistic and salutogenic fr...

Topological Entanglement Capacitance and Meson Mass Spectrum Formalism

Extending the Topological Entanglement Capacitance (TEC) and Big Boot Gauge Theory(BBGT) framework from SU(2)f to SU(3)f, the pseudo-scalar meson octet (π, K, η) mapsonto an expanded 6-node reduced interaction graph V octet= {u, u, d, ¯ d, s, ¯ s¯}.The valence strange quark intro...

Carbon Black Nanoparticle–PP Fiber Interfacial Engineering for Piezoresistive Self-Sensing Cementitious Nanocomposites

Carbon black (CB) nanoparticles (~20 nm) offer high specific surface area and conductivity for self-sensing cementitious composites, but strong interparticle van der Waals forces drive agglomeration in alkaline pore solutions, limiting sensing reliability. This study introduces a...

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Menopausal Hormone Therapy

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cost effectiveness of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) based on the risk–benefit profiles of current MHT formulations. METHODS: We used a Markov model to examine the cost effectiveness of MHT for hypothetical 50-year-old women with vasomotor symptoms co...

Colossal and ReversibleBarocaloric and Solvent-CaloricEffects in a T C-Adjustable Spin-CrossoverComplex

Abstract Barocaloric effects (BCE) represent an appealing refrigeration technology and have attracted great interest recently. However, most BCE materials still cannot meet real-world refrigeration requirements because of their fixed phase transition temperature TC and the signif...

Patterns of Antibiotic Dispensing Among New Zealand Children: A Linkage Study

ABSTRACT Background Overuse of antibiotics contributes to antibiotic resistance, and may result in gut microbiome dysbiosis, potentially increasing the risk of chronic childhood conditions. Objectives To examine patterns of antibiotic dispensing in utero and during the first 5 ye...

Cardiovascular Risk Prediction with the Kidney Failure Risk Equation in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Study

Background: The Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) is an established tool to predict the risk of kidney failure among patients with CKD. Patients with CKD more often die from cardiovascular (CV) causes than renal causes, and more often experience a non-fatal CV event than progre...

MODEL ADOPTION #988: REJECT — LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: Quarterly phase = ACCUMULATION — improves win rate from 31.6% — E8 Intelligence Research

DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: The "Quarterly phase = ACCUMULATION" filter is not a concrete, testable edge compatible with E8 geometry timing. It is a macro‑regime label derived from price‑action heuristics, not from the E8‑node/Gods‑Clock rhythm logic. The backtest (n=120) is too sm...

DETECTION OF VIRULENCE AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE GENES IN SOME BACTERIAL ISOLATES FROM DUMPSITES- A REVIEW

Dumpsites remain a major environmental and public health concern, particularly in developing countries where inadequate waste management systems encourage the widespread use of open dumping. These sites receive mixed municipal, industrial, medical, and pharmaceutical wastes, crea...

LAB #1002 HARMFUL: VIDEO SCOUT: The Trading Strategy That Made Me $3,000 in a Week (Quarterly Theory Full Breakdown) — E8 Intelligence Research

IDEA: AUTO VIDEO SCOUT — evaluate this trading strategy video for the swarm: VIDEO: "The Trading Strategy That Made Me $3,000 in a Week (Quarterly Theory Full Breakdown)" by Bucko Trades — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGJDNFYFkb4 (duration 1240s, 1925 views; found via search '...

MODEL ADOPTION #986: REJECT — LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: XAUUSD LONG @ ASIAN with 5 conf — improves win rate from 31.6% — E8 Intelligence Research

DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: The rule "XAUUSD LONG @ ASIAN with 5 conf" fails because it is a regime-specific filter with tiny sample (n=21), no out-of-sample validation, and zero trades in the current window — it adds no concrete, testable edge compatible with E8 geometry timing. T...

The measure half of the 2n+1 problem

Let F_0,...,F_{n-1} be Borel self-maps of a standard Borel space X, and let G_F be the graph they generate. We prove that the total measurable chromatic number of G_F is at most 2n+1 for every n, answering the measure half of Problem 5.14 of Kechris and Marks with the optimal con...

Characterization of Solid Electrolyte Interphases on Carbon-Based Negative Electrodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries: Methods, Artifacts, and Correlative Workflows

Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) characterization is needed to interpret the performance, degradation, and lifetime of graphite and Si-containing carbon-based negative electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. However, SEI claims are often difficult to compare because measured signa...

Evolutionary Hyperparameter Optimization of Machine Learning Classifiers for Gallstone Disease Prediction

This study investigate whether evolutionary hyperparameter search can meaningfully improve classifier performance for gallstone disease (GSD) diagnosis. Working from a cohort of 319 patients described by 38 clinical and demographic variables, we split the data into training (80%)...

Comprehensive Addendum: First-Principles Axiomatic Proof of Reciprocal Duality in Inverse-Square Fields and the Mathematical Uniqueness of f(x) = x^-2 - x^2

This comprehensive addendum establishes a complete axiomatic framework grounded in First Principles to resolve the long-standing singularity and divergence crises in inverse-square physical fields. By synthesizing the cognitive bias of "linear inertia," the metric distortion prod...
