The impact of sustainability-driven and artificial intelligence-based personalisation on customer loyalty at South Asia-based airlines

The global aviation industry is rapidly switching to AI-based service systems, which leads to an important research question about the effectiveness of Western digital adoption frameworks in explaining the sustainable behaviour of distressed state-owned enterprises (SOEs) that op...

Perception and Willingness to Pay for Mitigation of Tree Risk in a Peri-Urban Park in Central Mexico

People’s perception of tree risk in peri-urban environments influences decision-making on mitigation measures. This research aimed to determine the factors affecting the perception of visitors to Molino de Flores Netzahualcóyotl National Park (PNMFN) regarding the risk of tree fa...

A system for graded assessment and training pathway generation of musical performance talent capabilities based on multimodal deep learning

Accurate assessment of musical performance traditionally relies on expert judgment, which can be subjective, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. Existing automated evaluation systems often rely on single-modality inputs and fail to capture the complex interplay of audio quality...

2D-unsteady chaotic flows for mixing two different non-Newtonian fluids: optimization and flow control

Mixing of non-Newtonian fluids has been widely studied, yet numerical investigations of the simultaneous mixing of two different shear-thinning fluids inside chaotic mixers remain limited. In this work, we numerically investigate, for the first time, the mixing of two shear-thinn...

Practices of novice researchers in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Damascus University and proposed improvements

In light of the widespread availability of scientific research, researchers must acquire critical and analytical skills related to different research methodologies to identify useful ones. This ability supports their academic careers by enabling them to generate valid evidence an...

Diagenetic controls on reservoir quality and heterogeneity of eocene red-bed sandstones: a case study from the Shahejie Formation, southern Bohai Bay basin, China

The lower sub-member of the fourth member of the Eocene Shahejie Formation (LSm-ESF) in the southern Bohai Bay Basin hosts red-bed sandstones that are increasingly targeted as deep hydrocarbon reservoirs, yet the quantitative controls of diagenesis on their reservoir quality rema...

Readmission to hospital after thoracic trauma: better safe than sorry! the predictive read score

Thoracic trauma accounts for approximately 10–15% of trauma admissions and contributes substantially to trauma-related morbidity and mortality. Readmission rates for thoracic trauma have not been investigated thus far; thus, the purpose of this retrospective study is to reduce pa...

Combined effects of magnesium and micronutrients on growth, yield, quality, and nutrient use efficiency of bitter gourd in terrace soils

Combined effects of magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), and boron (B) on bitter gourd ( Momordica charantia L.) under terrace soils are not well documented. Therefore, a study was conducted to assess the combined effect of Mg, Zn, and B fertilization on bitter gourd growth, yield, nutrien...

Institutional support mechanisms associated with teacher empowerment and professional commitment among primary and secondary school teachers in urban schools in Mogadishu, Somalia

Teacher empowerment and professional commitment are important for supporting educational quality, particularly in fragile and post-conflict contexts where institutional support structures remain weak. Despite increasing attention to teacher retention challenges in developing coun...

The Phase Architecture of Spacetime: An Energy–Information Identity Model of Cosmological Cycles and Spatial In-Collapse

Spacetime is not treated here as a fundamental background but as a phase state of a primordial Energy–Information (E/I) field. The field's native condition is conformal: it possesses causal structure (light cones, angles, ratios) but no scale — no rulers, no clocks, no rest mass....

Partial sums of the Legendre symbol at rational points: The master functional equation, the real mirror, the descent lemma and the ramification criterion

Easy reading. New advances.

Artificial Intelligence in the Peer Review of Orthopaedic Manuscripts: Current Applications, Limitations, and Policy Considerations

Peer review ensures the validity and clinical applicability of orthopaedic research. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have expanded its role in editorial workflows, including manuscript screening. However, its application in peer review raises ethical, scientific, and pro...

Women’s experiences of intuitive exercise: A reflexive thematic analysis

This study sought to deepen understandings of intuitive exercise among women navigating physical activity contexts that reinforce societal gendered messages and norms about bodies and exercise, promote dysfunctional exercise attitudes and behaviours, and undermine sustained parti...

Visibility-driven compensation model for driver pupillary response in road tunnels: a GWO-XGBoost and SHAP-based interpretable framework

Pupil diameter, as a sensitive indicator integrating photometric stimulation and mental workload, provides an effective bridge between tunnel visual conditions and drivers’ psychophysiological states. This study conducted real-vehicle field experiments in four tunnels with differ...

Green synthesis of Ni-doped ZnO nanoparticles using Salvia hispanica and their antibacterial, anticancer and anti-virulence activities

An environmentally benign approach was employed to synthesize nickel-doped zinc oxide (Ni–ZnO) nanoparticles employing Salvia hispanica extract as a biologically derived reductant and capping material. Phytochemical profiling confirmed the abundance of phenolic and flavonoid comp...

Stakeholders’ perspectives on integrating non-communicable disease education into the secondary school curriculum in Nigeria

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) increasingly surface as public health challenges in low- and middle-income countries, including Nigeria. Despite the rising prevalence of NCDs, general awareness about them remains low, especially among adolescents. Nevertheless, little is underst...

Diarrhea prevention practices and associated factors among caregivers of under-five children in Jinka town, 2024 community-based cross-sectional study

Diarrhea is one of the world’s major causes of child mortality and morbidity, even though it has preventive solutions. Earlier studies have addressed diarrhea management at home instead of focusing on preventative measures. Hence, this study aimed to assess diarrhea prevention pr...

Computational analysis of a high-density electrode to scale the electric field geometry and intensity for neurostimulation

High-density grid electrodes can be configured to spatially scale the neurostimulation fields and enable the control of depth, intensity, and stimulation vectoring. In this study, we computationally analyze a high-density cluster electrode (HDCE) technology to measure its scalabi...

Generalizable prediction of biological contaminants across aerobic and anaerobic membrane bioreactors

Predicting the concentrations of biological agents, such as bacterial cells and viral particles in water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) is essential for monitoring emerging contaminants. Such predictive capabilities support efforts to protect public health and promote envir...

Mapping gender and environmental sustainability in tourism research

Environmentally sustainable tourism requires integrating social inclusion, climate resilience, and environmental governance. Although gender equality is firmly embedded within global sustainability frameworks, the integration of gender perspectives into environmental sustainabili...
