Virtual worlds and mental health: A scoping review

<title>Abstract</title> The constant increase in the use of virtual worlds in recent decades has raised concerns about their potential effects on users’ mental health. However, the great heterogeneity of the scientific literature on this topic makes it difficult to identify exist...

DNP Final Report: MEDICATION ERRORS: DECREASING FROM DAY ONE THROUGH ONLINE LEARNING MODULE AND INCIDENT REPORTING

Medication administration errors remain a significant patient safety concern in healthcare and nursing education. This Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) quality improvement project evaluated the implementation of a standardized medication safety learning module and incident report...

The Hypercorrect Nurse:Nurse Joker, Camp, and the Trouble with Getting Care Right

Nurse Joker is hypercorrect at the level of professional legibility, but radically incorrect at the level of care ethics. His performance reveals nursing not as an essence but as a historically gendered, aesthetic, ritualized, and biopolitical arrangement of signs: uniform, mask,...

Fluid dynamics-informed CCTA-derived geometric parameters in right coronary artery anomalies predict abnormal invasive Adenosine-FFR and Dobutamine-FFR.

Background Traditional anatomical assessment of stenosis in right anomalous aortic origin of coronary arteries (R-AAOCA) may not capture the complex, eccentrically shaped lumen and its perimeter-dependent resistance, and may therefore underestimate flow limitation. R-AAOCA involv...

Synthesis of gold nanorod@Pd(Pt)-Cu2O dendritic nanocomposites for plasmon-enhanced photocatalysis

Combining noble metal nanoparticles with electron acceptors, such as semiconductors or non-plasmonic metals, significantly enhances photocatalytic performance. However, optimizing multi-material combinations for superior catalytic efficiency remains challenging. In this study, we...

Association between aldehyde dehydrogenase 4 family member A1 plasma concentrations and atherosclerotic disease in patients with ischemic stroke: Results from the prospective multicenter BIOSIGNAL study.

Background The role of Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 4 Family Member A1 (ALDH4A1) in atherosclerotic disease is unclear. Experimental data suggests a possible involvement in atherogenesis. We investigated the association between circulating ALDH4A1 and atherosclerotic disease outcome me...

Neural signatures of major depression across the episodic memory circuitry.

In major depressive disorder (MDD), episodic memory is compromised and linked to hippocampal dysfunction, yet the underlying neural circuitry remains poorly understood. We examined the circuits supporting episodic memory and assessed its MDD-associated anatomical connectivity fin...

Morphology-, noise-, and resolution-robust ultrasound elasticity imaging with Fourier neural operator.

Quasi-static strain elastography is a non-invasive technique for estimating tissue stiffness fields from displacement fields obtained by comparing ultrasound signals before and after compression. While recent deep learning approaches have enabled faster and more accurate elastici...

Personality dysfunction according to the DSM-5 Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD) predicts suicide attempts in clinical high-risk adolescents.

Background Both personality traits and personality disorders have been linked to suicide risk in youth. The DSM-5 Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD) allows dimensional assessment of personality pathology, which may enhance prediction of suicide attempts. A recent s...

Methodological Evaluation of Manufacturing Plant Systems in Uganda: A Panel-Data Framework for Adoption Rate Diagnostics, 2021–2026

{ "background": "Understanding the determinants of technology adoption in agricultural manufacturing is critical for enhancing productivity and food security. However, longitudinal analyses of adoption dynamics within this sector in sub-Saharan Africa are scarce, hampered by a la...

The Cardinal Decision Evidence Assessment, Version 1.1

Regulated firms may be unable to rebuild the AI-assisted decisions they have already made, and few know whether they can, because the question is rarely asked until the decision is being contested. This document sets out an applied test for whether they can. Six tests examine whe...

The Nature of Representational Content: Original but Not Intrinsic

What makes a representational content representational? A widespread assumption, often unstated, is that content-hood is an intrinsic feature: a determinate fact, written into a state, of what it represents. This paper argues that the assumption cannot be sustained, and that its...

QTT Record-Fan-Out Timing-Envelope Blind Test Preregistration

A sealed timing test can only be judged after the physical reference operator is independently admitted. This preregistration separates ordinary coherent recovery from its independent timing test. The sealed object contains the observable, projector pair, camera, covariance, poin...

Topological Lattice Dispersion: Emergent Quantum Gravity, Dark Energy, and the Illusion of Particle Dark Matter from a Discrete, Frustrated Spacetime

The prevailing assumption of a continuous spacetime manifold generates mathematical infinities and necessitates ad-hoc parameterization—notably Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and independent scalar fields. This paper formulates the Topological Lattice Dispersion (TLD) framework, a par...

Dynamic Spacetime Fluid Cosmology

Author's Note: Published on the 15th of August, 2026. As we celebrate India's Independence Day today, I present this updated framework with the hope that it serves as a meaningful, independent step forward in our shared exploration of the cosmos. This formal theoretical treatise...

Closed-Form Pairwise Aircraft Conflict Resolution with First-Order Uncertainty Propagation

This paper presents a closed-form framework for detecting and resolving predicted losses of horizontal separation between two level aircraft. In the relative-velocity plane, the method derives the time and distance of closest approach, the first loss-of-separation time, the compl...

The Curvature Relaxation Model: A Four-Paper Program for Geometric Cosmology Without the Dark Sector

A four-paper series presenting the Curvature Relaxation Model (CRM), a geometric framework that derives dark-matter phenomenology from scalar-curvature dynamics without postulating new particles. CORE-PAPERS Paper I: Game-Theoretic Foundation — Establishes the CRM through thermod...

Building a Stack for Systems Deployment

We are introducing few lines of methodology to start building Models & Systems for Deployment. We start first with Asana Platform and the Automated Fact-Checker [here]. More Collaboration Invitation will be sent to participate in the project.

Topological Thermodynamics: A Complete Reconstruction from Global Realism, Finite Topological Matter, and Historical Disturbance Fields

We reconstruct thermodynamics as a derived physical theory rather than a collection of independent macroscopic postulates. The construction contains exactly three physical axioms in their final unified form: microscopic ontic definiteness and finite localization, physical reality...
