SGLT2 Inhibitors for Steatosis and Noninvasive Liver Markers in MASLD: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Trials

Abstract Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is closely linked to cardiometabolic dysfunction, yet liver-specific pharmacological options remain limited. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been proposed as potential the...

Font rasterization concurrency in `golang.org/x/image`: experimental evidence, ownership, and a decision not to change upstream

Sharing an `opentype.Face` across goroutines produces *data races* reported by the Go race detector. Two interpretations are possible: treat the sharing as a defect to fix with a patch, or as use incompatible with the documented contract that `font.Face` is not safe for concurren...

A coupled age–viscosity–flow finite-element framework for ageing-gel injection and sealing in underground void networks

Age-dependent viscosity strongly influences gel migration and sealing in underground void networks. However, conventional models commonly update viscosity using global elapsed time and cannot represent spatially non-uniform transport histories. This study develops a finite-elemen...

Godfatherism and Electoral Violence in Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State, 2019-2023

This study examined the relationship between godfatherism and electoral violence in Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State, Nigeria from 2019 to 2023. Utilizing the survey design, 100 questionnaires were administered to assess perceptions on the linkage between godfatheris...

Information-Preserving Learned Compression for Compute-Efficient Language Model Training: A Proof of Concept and a Decisive Experimental Programme

This work investigates whether the learning-relevant information in a corpus can be represented in substantially fewer computational units through a learned, content-adaptive, information-preserving compact representation, and whether a language model can be trained directly on t...

‘Oh Dhar Obaran , Oh Cemetery of Bones!’ An Anti-Colonial Song from the Moroccan Rif as a Counter-Archive of Diasporic Memory

This article examines the transnational circulation of the anti-colonial Riffian song Dhar Obaran in contemporary socio-political contexts between Morocco and the Netherlands. Originating from the Rif region of northern Morocco, this epic poem is an essential part of Riffian oral...

Phi‑Modulated E8 Harmonic Market Clock Predicts Short‑Term Reversals — E8 Intelligence Research

A new principle shows that when cumulative confirmation counts of rapid meme‑asset signals satisfy a φ‑scaled interval relative to the 132 Hz base frequency, specific E8 root vectors align in constructive interference, forming a resonant "harmonic node." This resonance marks the...

The State and Insecurity in Industrial Host Communities in Nigeria: The Case of Obajana, Kogi State

This study examines the dynamics of insecurity and the failures of state-led security governance in Obajana, an industrial host community in Kogi State, Nigeria. Drawing on the Public Goods Theory (PGT), the study investigates the persistence of insecurity in contexts where the s...

Interleukin-6 as a therapeutic target in Diabetic macular edema: current evidence and future perspectives

INTRODUCTION: Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a major cause of vision loss in diabetic retinopathy. Although anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy is the current standard treatment, many patients show incomplete responses, indicating the contribution of VEGF-inde...

Adapting Organic Binder Systems to Sand Supply Variability: A Review with Industrial Case Studies

Abstract Defects can arise in well-designed casting patterns due to discrepancies in material input quality. In the world of sand casting, the sand mixing step in the molding process is one of the first places to look when such quality discrepancies appear in production patterns...

Explicit 8-Rank Criteria in a Squarefree Composite Family: Rédei Kernels, Artin Symbols, and Continued-Fraction Centers

We study the narrow class group of real quadratic fields with fundamental discriminant D = 4AB, where A is a prime congruent to 7 modulo 8 and B = p₁p₂ is a product of two distinct primes lying either both in 1 modulo 8 or both in 7 modulo 8. A single four-bit formula is obtained...

One Substitution, Four Degrees, and the Number That Stops Them

Textbooks present the solution of algebraic equations as four unrelated stories. We show that a single substitution, x = w - c/w with c = p/n, together with a single target, the Dickson polynomial equation, accounts for all of them. Bringing an arbitrary equation of degree n to t...

Histomorphometric and Histochemical Changes in the Mare Tuba Uterina During the Oestrous Cycle and Follicular Cyst Condition

This study evaluated histomorphometric and histochemical changes in the mare tuba uterina during different reproductive stages and under follicular cyst conditions. Forty nonpregnant mares were classified into follicular, luteal, post-ovulation and follicular cyst groups (n = 10/...

Recovery and characterization of a field derived Bagaza virus with broad cellular host range

Abstract Bagaza virus (BAGV) is an emerging orthoflavivirus that primarily infects wild birds, but its ability to infect other hosts remains poorly understood. We isolated infectious BAGV from the brain of a dead red-legged partridge by transfection of extracted viral RNA and eva...

Bias-reduced landslide susceptibility mapping in data-scarce regions via multi-source inventory integration

Landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) is essential for disaster risk reduction in mountainous regions, but its reliability is often limited by spatial biases and incompleteness of landslide inventories. These reduce landslide inventory representativeness and influence the genera...

A Biophysical–Computational Framework for EEG Simulation of Connectivity Subtypes in ASD Associated with CPEB3 and CPEB4 Dysfunction

Simulation and analysis code accompanying the manuscript "EEG Simulation of Connectivity Subtypes in ASD Associated with CPEB3 and CPEB4 Dysfunction" (under peer review). Author information has been omitted for double-anonymous review and will be added upon acceptance. This repos...

A Tutorialon Automated Mass Spectral Analysis Using NucleoSpec for Compositional Assignment of Nucleic Acid-SilverComplexes and Nanoclusters

Abstract Nucleic acid–metal complexes, such as DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgN) and Ag(I)-mediated DNA duplexes, show promise for applications ranging from biomedical imaging to bioelectronics and sensing. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is a powerf...

The Saff‑Loves‑Spiders Paper: A Unified Mathematical Skeleton of Fear, Recursion, and Misaligned Prediction V2

This work presents a unified mathematical skeleton explaining fear as a scalar output of prediction violation across multiple cognitive layers. The paper introduces the Saff Loves Spiders Equation, a bidirectional misalignment operator modelling the recursive escape loop between...

E8 Root-Lattice Temporal Binding Code: 240 Root Vectors as Discrete Phase States for Synaptic Clock Synchronization — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 root vectors of E8 naturally partition into 8 × 30 phase-state clusters, each mapping to a discrete temporal binding window at 132Hz (φ² × 50Hz carrier). Synaptic clocks implement a phi-vortex hash lookup across this root lattice: incoming spike patterns project onto the...
