Digitalising Scholarly Publishing in Uzbekistan: An Integrated Ecosystem for Publication, Integrity and Indexing

Higher-education reform in Uzbekistan has increased the number of manuscripts that doctoral candidates and academic staff must publish, while the infrastructure that makes a manuscript findable, citable and checked for integrity remains thin. This paper reports a single-case stud...

High-Performance PDMS Elastomers Constructed via Oxalyl Dihydrazide for Thermoreversible Bonding in Flexible Electronics

Abstract The rapid proliferation of flexible and wearable electronics has imposed stringent requirements on elastomeric substrates, including high mechanical strength, exceptional toughness, reversible adhesion, and reprocessability—properties that conventional covalently crossli...

Diagnostic performance of conventional optical coherence tomography parameters for differentiating pediatric papilledema from pseudopapilledema

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic performance of conventional optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) thickness measurements for differentiating papilledema from p...

Preoperative Predictors and Scoring System for Incisional Hernia: A Case–Control Study

Objective Incisional hernia (IH) is a common complication of abdominal surgery; preoperative identification of high-risk patients enables targeted prevention. We aimed to identify independent preoperative predictors of IH and to derive a simple risk-stratification score in a Thai...

Turin’s Olympic legacy: the 2006 Winter Games and the Piedmont Region

Assessing the success of hosting Olympic Games becomes considerably more complex once attention shifts from the event itself to what remains afterwards. Turin’s Olympic Legacy: The 2006 Winter Game...

INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM IN NIGERIA AND THE POLITICS OF SILENCE: REVISITING THE LETTER BOMB ASSASSINATION OF DELE GIWA.

Abstract This study critically examined the nexus between investigative journalism and the politics of silence in Nigeria by revisiting the letter‑bomb assassination of Dele Giwa; it aimed to interrogate competing explanations for the killing, assess its influence on investigativ...

Surface modification by nanosecond laser ablation of copper substrate for the growth behavior of tantalum as hydrogen diffusion layer within AB-BNCT target system

To mitigate stress accumulation of tantalum (Ta) hydrogen diffusion layers in accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy (AB-BNCT) target system, this study employed nanosecond laser ablation (NLA) to modify copper (Cu) substrates before Ta deposition. Finite element method...

Urinary Exposure to Chemical Additives in Healthy Older Adults in China: Characterization, Determinants, and Health Risks from the China BAPE Study

Abstract Polymer- and rubber-associated chemical additives are widely used in consumer products and are increasingly recognized as emerging contaminants of concern; however, urinary biomonitoring data for older adults remain scarce. Accordingly, the objectives were to characteriz...

Data Sovereignty, Stewardship, and Generative AI in Oral History: A Discussion Paper from the International Digital Oral History Lab

This working paper is issued by the International Digital Oral History Lab (https://idohl.org/) as part of its ongoing work on the responsible use of generative AI in oral history. It brings together evidence from oral history practice, AI governance, technical infrastructure, co...

Brown adipose tissue ankyrin-B cell-autonomously modulates lipid content and its deletion protects male mice against diet-induced obesity

Fatty acid (FA) availability for brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis depends in part on lipolysis of lipid droplet (LD) triglycerides. Here, we identify the membrane adaptor ankyrin-B (AnkB), encoded by the cardiometabolic disease-associated ANK2 gene, as a regulator of brow...

Actualizing Wisdom, Compassion, and Courage in Our Classrooms: A Self-Study of Human Education

As teacher educators, we examined through collaborative self-study our teaching practices in world language and educational leadership courses. Using Japanese educator Daisaku Ikeda’s notion of ‘human education’ – a holistic cultivation of intellect/wisdom, emotion/compassion, an...

Mechanistic Insights into the Colloidal Synthesis of Monodisperse CoF2 Nanorods

Abstract Transition metal fluorides (TMFs) are promising conversion-type cathode materials for high-energy lithium–metal batteries owing to their exceptionally high theoretical energy density, making them attractive for demanding applications such as electric aviation. However, t...

Stochastic SEIR dynamics via graph Laplacian diffusion under transmission uncertainty

Epidemic spatial spread across interconnected populations depends on both mobility between locations and random fluctuations in transmission. We extend the Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed (SEIR) epidemic model to a network setting by introducing graph Laplacian diffusion to...

Realization of relaxed fabrication tolerances and on‑demand sensitivity in hybrid plasmonic‑photonic sensors

Hybrid plasmonic-photonic nanostructures hold significant promise for diverse applications spanning biosensing, environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical analysis, and optical devices. However, two core bottlenecks persist and impede their commercial use as sensors: the challenge...

Comparative evaluation of Risser sign and Kreitner–Kellinghaus modified system for age estimation using iliac crest ossification in Egyptians

Abstract Establishing whether an individual has reached the 18-year legal majority threshold is a central medicolegal task in Egyptian forensic practice. Iliac crest apophyseal ossification is a potentially valuable skeletal marker for this purpose during late adolescence, yet no...

The Democratization of Legal Analysis Not Yet Affordable: Affordability as the Upstream Gate that Precedes Trust

This work places affordability as the upstream gate of the AI-assisted democratization of legal analysis. A companion work in the same field, The Democratization of Legal Analysis Not Yet Complete, separates three layers: access to documents, the capacity to work them into a deep...
