Impact of Coffee Consumption on Fructose-Related Metabolic Alterations: Potential Mechanisms and Implications for Metabolic Diseases

Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages worldwide. Coffee and its bioactive compounds, including caffeine, chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid, have attracted increasing attention because of their potential health benefits. Evidence from pediatric and adult populations...

Ernest Charles Nelson – his contribution to botanical art, 1979–2025

Summary The life and work of the Irish botanist E. Charles Nelson (1951–2024) is explored in the context of his interest in botanical art, especially considering the Irish native and garden floras.

Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Synoptic Patterns of Dry‐Hot Winds ( Sukhoviys ) in Ukraine

ABSTRACT This study analyses dry‐hot winds, or sukhoviys , a recurrent phenomenon during the warm season across most regions of Ukraine. Sukhoviys promote rapid moisture loss from soil and vegetation, inducing acute stress on crops and intensifying drought effects during critical...

Systematic review and meta-analysis protocol: effective dose (ED50/ED95) of remimazolam for induction of unconsciousness and procedural sedation (protocol deposit)

Nature of this record: This is a protocol deposit (retrospective public archiving of an a priori protocol), not a prospective registration. The protocol was written before data extraction began, but it was not prospectively registered on PROSPERO. This document is deposited on an...

An Evoltropic Evolution-Field Framework for Galactic Dynamics and Finite-Curvature Strong Gravity

This work develops an Evoltropic Evolution-Field framework in which physical time is interpreted operationally as the measurable rate of physical becoming. A dimensionless scalar Evolution field E(x) is introduced, with a physical lower bound Emin > 0. The paper focuses on two gr...

Multimodal Characterizationof Acerola-Derived GoldNanoparticles through Integrated Advanced Distributional Analysis

Abstract The green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from plant extracts offers a sustainable route to obtaining functional nanomaterials. However, establishing robust relationships between structure and properties remains challenging due to the inherent heterogeneity of na...

MODEL ADOPTION #896: REJECT — LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: Pool density HIGH (>=90) — improves win rate from 31.6% to 33. — E8 Intelligence Research

DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: The filter "Pool density HIGH (>=90)" is not a concrete, testable edge compatible with E8 geometry timing — it is a statistical artifact from a backtest that conflates pool density with trade outcome without establishing a causal mechanism tied to the E8...

Why more automation does not guarantee invention in advanced smart factories

Purpose Smart factories often combine advanced automation, connected equipment and recognised smart-manufacturing status, yet their invention performance remains uneven. This study examines why additional automation infrastructure does not always raise invention output. Design/me...

Evolving Strategies in Pediatric Cataract Surgery: A 7-Year Analysis of Ocular Biometry and IOL Localization

Objectives: To evaluate temporal trends in ocular biometrics, patient demographics and surgical strategies for intraocular lens (IOL) localization in pediatric cataracts. Methods: This retrospective study included 291 eyes of 148 pediatric patients operated at a tertiary referral...

Institutionalizing Transdisciplinarity in Higher Education: Strategic Areas and Reflexive Governance

This article proposes a practice-informed institutional design framework for embedding transdisciplinarity (TD) as an operational orientation in higher education. Building on the Reflexive and Situated Model for Institutionalizing Transdisciplinarity, the study examines how TD ca...

Exosome-based nanomedicine for neurological disorders: mechanisms, engineering, and therapeutic potential

Exosomes are naturally occurring extracellular vesicles that have emerged as promising bio-inspired nanocarriers for the treatment of neurological disorders owing to their intrinsic biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. This review hi...

Response to “Prepregnancy GLP ‐ 1 Receptor Agonist Use: Unaccounted Pretreatment BMI May Distort Obstetric Outcome Signals in Real‐World Studies”

Data sharing not applicable to this article as no datasets were generated or analysed during the current study.

Mechanistic insights into phage dynamics to overcome intracellular bacterial reservoirs in urinary tract infections

Abstract Recurrent urinary tract infections frequently arise from uropathogenic bacteria invading bladder epithelial cells, where they establish persistent intracellular reservoirs. Phages represent a promising therapeutic alternative to antibiotics owing to their host specificit...

Influence of Interruptions on the Diagnosis Task Performance

ABSTRACT Digital nuclear power systems increasingly expose main control room (MCR) operators to multitasking and interruptions that disrupt cognitive resource allocation and threaten safety, yet the underlying mechanisms remain underexplored. This study conducted behavioral exper...

Growing appetites: the impact of vegetable-rich school meals on child nutrition, cognition, and well-being

Typical lunch meals consumed by Dutch children fall short of national dietary guidelines. The average vegetable intake during lunch is around 8 g, contributing to inadequate overall vegetable consumption in over half of children under 12. A school-based lunch programme offering v...

Qazaq pastoralists in Western Mongolia: institutional change, economic diversification, and social stratification

Peter Finke’s study of Qazaq pastoral communities in Khovd sum, western Mongolia, is an exemplary work of longitudinal ethnographic research. Drawing on fieldwork from the early 1990s to 2018, the ...

Differential Spoke-Tension Sensing for Estimating Bicycle Rear-Wheel Power

This open technical disclosure proposes a low-cost method for estimating bicycle rear-wheel power from changes in the tension of ordinary wheel spokes. The proposed architecture uses two spoke-coupled sensing modules: one on the drive side and one on the non-drive side of a dishe...

MXene-Based Conductive Microneedle Patch Promotes Diabetic Wound Healing by Regulating Oxidative Stress and Immune Microenvironment

Abstract Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and the release of inflammatory mediators create a pathological microenvironment in diabetic wounds, severely impairing the healing process. Coupling endogenous electric fields has shown great therapeutic potential for i...
