Parliamentary workload and outpatient medical costs among Japanese national civil servants: An ecological study in Kasumigaseki

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine whether ministry-level parliamentary workload was associated with outpatient medical costs among Japanese national civil servants, who are exempt from the Labor Standards Act's statutory limits on working hours. METHODS: We conducted an eco...

Strategic roadmapping of artificial intelligence in tourism and hospitality industry: a patent-based knowledge management perspective

This study aims to identify artificial intelligence (AI) application areas and develop a strategic technology roadmap in the tourism and hospitality industry. The study employs structural topic modeling approach and analyzes patent data from 2010 to 2024. A total of 866 patents (...

Memory Slice: A Process-Centric Dump Format for Differential Memory Analysis and Volatility 3 Plugin Synthesis

System-centric memory forensics requires kernel-specific symbols and types, delaying analysis when no matching profile is available. Process-level dumps avoid full-system acquisition but typically omit OS-queryable context available only while the process is live. We present Memo...

Chloride-blocking MnOx/NiFe architectures enabling robust oxygen evolution in alkaline seawater

Seawater electrolysis offers a promising route to green hydrogen but is hindered by chloride-induced electrode corrosion and parasitic chlorine evolution. Herein, a chloride-blocking MnO x -coated NiFe layered-double-hydroxide nanosheet array on carbon cloth (MnO x /NiFe@CC) is d...

İzmir Ege Mahallesi; Kentin İçinde/Dışında Bir Mahalle

Ege Mahallesi, Roman sakinlerin kent ve barınma hakkına erişimde yaşadıkları güçlükler, sosyal dışlanma ve yoksulluk sebebiyle kentin hem içinde hem de dışında olma halinin belirsizliğiyle bir “gri alan” olarak değerlendirilebilir. Bu çalışma, Ege Mahallesi örneğinde kentsel dönü...

The Anecdotal Fallacy of Dismissing Anecdotes

It is of course true that many people use personal anecdotes to reach wildly universal conclusions. Thus, concepts such as "anecdotal evidence", "anecdotal fallacy" and "hasty generalization" have been formulated in an attempt to counteract that. However, ironically, many hasty g...

The Middle Way as Intervention

The middle way (majjhimā paṭipadā) is usually read as moderation. This preprint argues from the early Buddhist sources that the practical middle way of the first discourse (SN 56.11) is not a midpoint between pleasure and pain. It is an intervention at the link from feeling to cr...

Development and Validation of a Novel Contact Force‐Integrated Pulsed Field Quantization Index for Pulmonary Vein Isolation in a Porcine Model

ABSTRACT Introduction There is no bipolar‐specific quantitative ablation index currently available to guide pulsed field ablation (PFA). We aimed to develop and validate a novel contact force (CF)‐integrated pulsed field quantization index (PFQI) for real‐time lesion depth predic...

Nano-eggshell/B(III)as a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 1,3-oxazines in aqueous media, along with DFT simulations

In the present study, a convenient and greener synthesis of a series of naphtho[1,2- e ][1,3]oxazines was accomplished via three-component one-pot cyclocondensation between β -naphthol, formaldehyde, and various amines using nano-eggshell/B(III) as a natural catalyst in aqueous m...

A legend with a date: the Ashina wolf story and the fall of the Northern Liang, 439

The ruling clan of the Göktürks, the Ashina, is known almost only through Chinese histories, which give three accounts of its origin: a wolf legend, a genealogy from the state of Suo and a flight of five hundred families to the Rouran. We count the witnesses behind each account i...

Early Versus Late Injection Laryngoplasty for Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

ABSTRACT Objectives Unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is a condition characterized by the loss of functional movement of one vocal fold resulting in incomplete glottic closure, which compromises essential functions such as phonation, swallowing and coughing. Injection medial...

Sineru: The Mountain That May Not Have Been a Mountain

Early Buddhist texts place Sineru (Sanskrit Sumeru, Meru) at the centre of a traditional world-system and assign it dimensions of 84,000 yojanas. Some modern interpretations convert this figure into kilometres and identify the mountain with a galaxy or galactic axis. This paper e...

Bidirectional coupling mechanism and multiphysics damage evolution of UHMWPE composite laminates under blast-fragment synergistic loading

This study investigates the dynamic response and multi-field damage evolution of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composite laminates subjected to blast-fragment-coupled loading. The aim is to elucidate the ambiguous failure mechanisms and address the challenging...

Resolving the Sensitivity–Specificity Trade‐Off in Fluorescent Probes via a Tandem‐Activatable Shielding Strategy

ABSTRACT For precise tumor diagnosis, the intrinsic trade‐off between sensitivity and specificity in fluorescent probes remains a longstanding bottleneck, underscoring an urgent need for strategies to break this fundamental constraint. To address the specificity limitation, we ex...

The Ilefoastro Method: A Three-Step Approach to Preserving Yoruba Family Oral History

Many Yoruba families keep their history in the memory of their elders, and when an elder dies that knowledge often goes with them. The Ilefoastro Method is a short, practical approach for recording and keeping it in three steps: record (oral ethnography), check (archival forensic...

A Deterministic Algorithm for Minimum Witness Convolution Below the Three-Halves Exponent

Given two length-n Boolean arrays, minimum witness convolution asks, for each output position k, for the least index i with A[i]B[k − i] = 1. We give a deterministic algorithm taking Õ(n1.49644) time, and therefore O(n1.49645) time, on a word RAM with O(log n)-bit words. The cons...

FEATURES OF AUTONOMIC DISORDERS IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES IN THE POSTMENOPAUSAL PERIOD

Background. The involutional and hormonal shifts characterizing the postmenopausal period in women operate as a permissive physiological background for the accelerated development of metabolic and neurological complications. When coupled with carbohydrate metabolism disorders, pa...

After the Referendum: The SNP, Plaid Cymru and Facebook, 2014 to 2020

The 2014 Scottish independence referendum transformed the Scottish National Party. Its membership roughly quadrupled, and eight months later it won 56 of Scotland's 59 Westminster seats. I ask what happened to the SNP on Facebook after the referendum, comparing it with the UK-wid...

Semantic–geography integrated spatiotemporal safety mapping for urban low-altitude airspace environments

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) safety is becoming increasingly critical as UAV operations are integrated into urban service and transportation systems, creating an urgent need for risk representations that can support refined low-altitude airspace management. Existing urban safety...
