Navigating Cancer Risk: A Grounded Theory of Culturally Anchored Risk Engagement (CARE) Behavior Among Sub-Saharan African Immigrant Men

Abstract Background This grounded theory study explores the cultural beliefs and perceptions that shape cancer-related health behaviors among Sub-Saharan African immigrant (SSAI) men in the United States. Despite growing awareness of poor health outcomes affecting immigrant commu...

From Airwaves to Algorithms: Tracing the Circulation of Community Radio Content into Social Media in Limpopo Province, South Africa

Community radio remains central to local public communication in South Africa, yet its entanglement with platformised media environments is poorly understood. This study examines how content from two community radio stations in Limpopo Province circulates on social media and how...

Vitological Information Ethics: Toward Viability-Oriented Evaluation of Information

This article introduces the concept of Vitological Information Ethics as a complementary interdisciplinary framework for evaluating information from the perspective of system viability. While existing approaches to information ethics primarily focus on truthfulness, privacy, fair...

Semiboundedness Criteria for H* (the B-Note): Stability, Instability, and the Reduction to a Unit-Window Excursion Question for ζ on the 1-Line

Full proofs of semiboundedness criteria for 1D Schrodinger operators applied to H* = -d2/dy2 + V* + 1/4 with V*(y) = log|zeta(1+iy)| - R(y): a stability criterion (uniform unit-window L1 bound on the negative part, explicit constant), two instability criteria (deep-wide dips; con...

Anti-Obesity Medications in Longevity and Aesthetic Medicine

Anti-obesity medications (AOMs), led by the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) semaglutide and liraglutide and the dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist tirzepatide, have produced substantial weight reduction and growing signals of benefit that extend well beyond adi...

Sustainable Microcystin Removal from Water Using Low-Cost Agricultural Waste Materials

Cyanobacterial blooms are an increasing global concern due to the release of microcystins (MCs), potent hepatotoxins that threaten aquatic ecosystems, livestock, and human health. This study investigated the efficiency of low-cost natural adsorbents—rice straw (R), corn straw (C)...

Long-Term Effects of Tillage Systems on Weeds and Maize Yield in the Transylvanian Plain

This study evaluated the long-term effects of soil tillage systems on weed dynamics and maize (Zea mays L.) yield in the Transylvanian Plain, Romania, over an eight-year period (2018–2025). A long-term field experiment was established under a split-plot design with four tillage s...

A new reproducible, minimally invasive fin-clamp enabling biologging and animal-borne video studies of juvenile sharks

Abstract Background Fine-scale studies of juvenile shark ecology remain limited because existing tags are often too large or invasive to be deployed on sharks <2 m length. Consequently, high-resolution behavioral and physiological data from early life stages are scarce, despit...
