Planet B: A PolySolution for the Planetary PolyCrisis Emergency

Humanity faces not isolated problems but a PolyCrisis, which is a set of 26 tightly interwoven existential crises spanning ecological collapse, planetary overheating, chronic disease epidemics, institutional fragility and social breakdown. Each crisis amplifies the others through...

Paleozoic Tectonic Transition from Arc–Continent Collision to Post-Orogenic Extension in the East Kunlun Orogen: Constraints from Metamorphic Events

Abstract The tectonic evolution of the trench–arc–back-–arc basin system—encompassing back-arc spreading, subduction, basin closure, and the subsequent transition from arc–continent collision to post-collisional extension—represents a fundamental process in the evolution of the P...

Positional Isomers of B6C6N6 Nanorings: Stability, Reactivity, and Optical Properties from First Principles

The positional arrangement of BN and CC units in B6C6N6 cyclic nanorings profoundly influences their stability, electronic structure, optical response, and reactivity. Here, we comparatively investigate eight positional isomers (C1–C8) using DFT and TD-DFT calculations. Among C1–...

Artificial intelligence awareness, usage, and readiness among fellows of the West African college of physicians

Abstract Background Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare globally, but its adoption remains limited in low- and middle-income countries, such as those in West Africa. Physician educators are central to AI uptake, making their awareness and readiness crucial. Th...

The "Low-Hire, Low-Fire" Labor Market

Hires and quits have been unusually low during the strong labor market over the past year or so, when layoffs have also been low. This combination is historically unusual. However, it is likely a continuation of long-term trends rather than something unique to the current period.

Dimensionally consistent surrogate modelling through dimensional analysis and harmonic expansions

Abstract Dimensional homogeneity is a fundamental constraint on physically meaningful models, requiring invariance under changes of units. We present a data-driven method for constructing surrogate models that satisfy this constraint at the level of the hypothesis class. Starting...

Perceived risk of human exposure to microplastics: a probability and impact-based assessment

Microplastic (MPs) contamination is an environmental issue with significant impact on public health, economic growth, and the natural ecosystem. This study evaluates public perceptions of MPs pollution in Romania through a structured questionnaire administered to 456 respondents,...

High-Performance Fiber-Shaped Supercapacitors Enabled by Polyaniline @ MXene Ti3C2Tx Hybrid Graphene Aerogel Fiber

Developing fiber-shaped supercapacitors (FSCs) with high capacitance, high energy density, and exceptional rate performance is crucial for reliable, stable and high-performance wearable electronics. Here, a polyaniline (PANI) @ MXene Ti3C2Tx/graphene (PTG) aerogel fiber was ratio...

Actinomyces odontolyticus Infection of a Marsupialized Vallecular Cyst in a Two-Month-Old Infant: A Report of a Rare Case

Actinomyces is a rare cause of cervicofacial infections, particularly in children. Children with Actinomyces infection often have delayed diagnoses due to low culture sensitivity and variable and indistinct presentations that resemble other pathologies, such as malignancy or tube...

Quantifying the Interplay Between PRAME Expression and Classical Morphology: A Multivariable Analysis of 954 Suspected Melanocytic Lesions

The integration of immunohistochemical biomarkers like PRAME (Preferentially Expressed Antigen in Melanoma) into the histomorphological assessment of melanocytic lesions is gaining prominence. While PRAME’s diagnostic value is widely recognized, its independent weight compared di...

Panoramic Near-Infrared Imaging Device for Peripheral Vascular Mapping

Longitudinal mapping of the superficial peripheral vascular network is clinically relevant for conditions such as venous insufficiency, superficial venous thrombosis, and localized hemorrhagic injury; yet existing modalities are either operator-dependent, costly, or unable to pro...

What Does It Mean to Be “Successful”? Religion, Family, and Economic Prosperity among Iranian Bahai Migrants in Brazil

Abstract The present article proposes to examine the 1985 and 1986 arrival in Brazil of Iranian Bahai forced migrants who left their homeland claiming religious persecution. The article presents original research undertaken with this group and aims to contribute to the limited bo...

Rederivation of the Acceleration Map by a Real-Center Reading in a Closed Two-Body AB Phase System

A derivation-replacement paper for the published inverse-square acceleration paper of the Wave Information Readout series. The virtual rotation center at the future phase position is removed: the only centers are the real ones — the parent-closure center O and the partner B on th...

Beating the Odds: Successful Thrombectomy Followed By Heart Transplant in a Pediatric Ventricular Assist Device Patient

Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are increasingly used in pediatric patients with end-stage heart failure as a bridge to heart transplantation (HT). Thromboembolic stroke remains one of the most devastating complications and may jeopardize transplant candidacy. We report a 13-ye...

哥德尔渔网:面向任意可定义域的观测框架

This paper introduces **Gödel 渔网 (Yúwǎng)**, an observation framework whose initial scope is any **可定义域 (kě dìngyì yù; designated domain)**. A 可定义域 need only be capable of being designated as a whole as the current object of observation. Its internal structure need not...

Biomarkers of systemic disease burden and outcomes after transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair

Abstract Background Risk stratification after transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) remains challenging, particularly in patients with advanced right-sided heart failure and systemic disease burden. Biomarkers reflecting inflammation, stress response and multiorgan...

NEW INC Y12 Creative Science: Gim Chaek

RationaleGim Chaek-a transliteration combining the Korean words for "seaweed" (gim) and "book" (chaek)-is a multimedia project that investigates the entanglement of natural substrates, living bodies, and data transmission.Through layered natural and cultural cross-references, the...

Multidimensional Militarisation, Evidence From Mexico's War on Drugs

ABSTRACT This article documents different dimensions of militarisation observed in Mexico since the start of the war on drugs. It argues that militarisation is a multidirectional phenomenon that is characterised by rationales that justify the use of illegal means to address compl...

Rapid determination of potential mycotoxin-producing fungi contamination in post-harvest blueberries based on near infra-red spectroscopy and enhanced prototypical network

Blueberries are susceptible to fungal infection that may lead to mycotoxin contamination. Accurate identification of mycotoxin-producing fungi in blueberries is critical, as processed products derived from mould-contaminated fruits pose significant health risks due to the persist...
