Addressing Two Systemic Bottlenecks in Global Poultry Production: A Review of Non-Destructive Pre-Incubation Freshness and In-Ovo Sex Detection

The $300-billion global poultry industry, a cornerstone of food security, faces two interconnected systemic challenges: pre-incubation quality degradation wastes up to 15% of incubation capacity on non-viable eggs, while post-hatch male chick culling results in the annual euthana...

Qualitative study on the experience and needs of social isolation in older adults with stroke

Based on the Social Ecological Theory framework, this study aims to explore the social isolation experiences and needs of older adults with stroke, providing an empirical basis for constructing multi-level, systematic clinical intervention strategies. Using an interpretive phenom...

Evaluating media equality in generative audiovisual composition using modality constraint and replay-based reveal

Abstract Coupled audiovisual instruments, in which sound and image are produced from a shared generative process, promise media equality by design. But does causal coupling actually deliver perceptual parity? This article asks how composers experience media equality and intermedi...

Design and engineering of layered double hydroxide-based composites for efficient wastewater treatment

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), often referred to as hydrotalcite components, have gained popularity as wastewater treatment solutions due to their distinct lamellar structure, changeable metal arrangement, excellent anion exchange efficiency, and notable memory effect. However...

Biochar as a Modulator of Soil Microbial Diversity and Enzymatic Function: Critical Insights and Ecological Implications

Biochar amendments can modify soil microbial communities and extracellular enzyme activities, but reported responses remain heterogeneous across soils, biochar types, and management contexts. This review critically synthesises current evidence to identify the conditions under whi...

Influence of Relative Humidity and Visibility on Fine Particulate Matter Concentrations in the Niger Delta: Ground Based Evidence from Edo State, Nigeria.

Fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) remains one of the most critical air pollutants affecting public health, atmospheric visibility, and environmental sustainability, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions of developing countries. Despite growing concerns regarding air pollution...

A Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effectiveness of Brief Self-compassion and Cognitive-behavioral Therapy Interventions for Perfectionism among Filipino University Students Using the 2 × 2 Model of Perfectionism

Perfectionism is a growing concern among university students given its associations with wellbeing difficulties. Several studies have examined the effectiveness of interventions for lowering perfectionism in students. Amongst interventions that appear effective are those that inco...

Quantitative evaluation of vulnerability and resilience in Indian meteorological hazards using correlation, clustering, PCA, and random forest

Meteorological disasters in India impose multidimensional impacts that span human casualties and fiscal recovery gaps. This study applied an integrated framework combining correlation analysis, clustering, principal component analysis (PCA), composite indices, and Random Forest r...

AI-Enabled Capacity Building for Special Education Pre-Service Teachers: A Systematic Scoping Review of the Global South with Implications for South African Rural Universities

The high rate of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education is changing how teachers teach, how they are trained, and how institutions are managed. While many studies explore the use of AI in teaching and learning, there is a lack of research on how it supports capacity...

Evolution's Morse Code: Language, the cost of the uncollapsed, and the one distinction it never had to encode

Biology evolved to identify, not to deliberate: identification is cheap and terminates, while processing is expensive and does not. Language broke that economy by granting access to states that have not resolved — the future, the absent, the counterfactual, the self as a third-pe...

Children With Synpolydactyly Type I Homozygous HOXD13 Mutations: Embryology and Surgical Correction of the “Cupping” of the Hands and Feet

PURPOSE: Some patients with familial Synpolydactyly Type I have severe flexion deformities of the hands and feet at the metacarpophalangeal and the metatarsophalangeal joints, and the resulting deformity has been named "cupping" of the hands and feet. Severe "cupping" requiring s...

A suspension of heavy Kolmogorov-size spheres suppresses the inertial cascade in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence

The effect of Kolmogorov-size spherical particles on homogeneous and isotropic turbulence is investigated using particle-resolved direct numerical simulations at an unladen Taylor-scale Reynolds number of 150 <mml:math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:mnf="http://...

Making decisions about hormone replacement therapy for transgender and gender diverse youth in clinical settings in Singapore: a qualitative study

Objective: The objective of this study is to explore how clinical decision-making regarding hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth takes shape within clinical encounters involving healthcare providers, TGD youth, and their parents.Methods...

Human–Machine Collaboration Depth and Teacher Burnout: A Dual-Path Moderated Mediation Model of Empowerment and Depletion

This study investigates how human–machine collaboration depth is associated with teacher burnout during educational digital transformation. Grounded in Conservation of Resources theory, cross-sectional survey data from 489 Chinese university teachers were analyzed using structura...

Enhancing Case Formulation Competence in Novice Counselors: A ChatGPT-Assisted Approach Using the 4P Model

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, various scientific research fields are exploring the application of potential of new technologies. Counseling psychology, closely intertwined with natural language processing, is one of the most suitable domai...

Phi-Resonant E8 Hyperbolic Temporal Bridge — E8 Intelligence Research

By embedding the 240 E8 root vectors into a phi‑modulated hyperbolic lattice tuned to the 132 Hz resonance, we generate a self‑synchronizing phase cascade that maps linguistic syntactic trees onto quantum entanglement pathways. This cascade creates a temporal echo where each synt...

A systematic review of African-centered school-based interventions.

Cultural-specific interventions often outperform standard protocols because they align with the identities and lived experiences of the youth they serve. For Black students, African-centered approaches have demonstrated improvements in social-emotional functioning, mental health,...
