Monograph F: The Falsifiability Criterion

This capstone monograph formalizes "The Falsifiability Criterion," establishing the empirical verification and Popperian refutability protocols for the entire Emerald Research Group archive. The study addresses a fundamental challenge in theoretical physics, comparative jurisprud...

A narrative review of occupational and community acquired infections among healthcare workers including exposure routes risk factors and infection prevention and control strategies from 2015 to 2025

Abstract Healthcare workers (HCWs) face infection risks through patient care, specimen processing, sharps, contaminated environments, and exposures outside healthcare settings. Vulnerability was illustrated during COVID-19, when the World Health Organization estimated that 80,000...

Lodging resistance in older and modern soybean cultivars

Abstract Brazilian soybean yield has increased over time, coinciding with improvements in lodging resistance in modern cultivars. This study aimed (i) to evaluate the impact of simulated upright growth on yield components of lodging-susceptible (older) and lodging-resistant (mode...

Decomposing the Four Fundamental Interactions in Hyperbrane Relativity: A One-Source W-Phase Flow Taxonomy, and an Established Obstruction to Its Closed-System Reading

Overview. This standalone Hyperbrane Relativity (HBR) preprint proposes a one-source reconstruction of the conventional four fundamental interactions: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong interaction, and the weak interaction. The four sectors are not treated as primitive ontolo...

Sustainable bacterial cellulose-based delivery system for probiotic stabilization in functional beverages

Abstract The growing demand for functional foods has driven innovation in probiotic delivery systems that ensure microbial stability and targeted release. Probiotics, defined as live microorganisms conferring health benefits, often face challenges related to survival during proce...

Distinct profiles of psychological resilience and associated factors among clinical nurses: a latent profile analysis

Abstract Background Clinical nurses work in high-stress environments over extended periods and are prone to occupational burnout. Identifying psychological resources that can effectively help nurses cope with stress and maintain occupational well-being is crucial for nursing mana...

Episodic isolation of the Arctic Mediterranean from the North Atlantic during late Pleistocene glacials

Abstract It has been proposed that the Arctic Ocean and Nordic Seas (together referred to as the “Arctic Mediterranean” - AM) were not only covered by a thick ice shelf during past Pleistocene glaciations 1 but also filled with freshwater 2 implying a disconnection from the North...

Monograph D: Protocol Sovereignty

This monograph formalizes "Protocol Sovereignty," an operator-theoretic analysis of inter-operator interaction, handshake mechanics, and consent topology. The study addresses a major gap in classical legal and jurisprudential frameworks: the inability to mathematically define and...

False Advertising, Market Competition, and Consumer Protection

Abstract We examine a model in which firms produce goods that are both vertically and horizontally differentiated. While firms know the quality of their product, either high or low, it is unobservable to consumers. Firms signal quality to consumers, and we investigate how market...

A UNIFIED FIELD FRAMEWORK FOR FORCES AND INERTIA

This paper records a brainstorm that began with one idea: that the strong nuclear force is the inertia of particles against a fast vortex, with the electromagnetic field acting as a stabilizing “skin,” and that gravity, light and dark matter follow from the same picture. Each par...

Thraustochytrids from the Red Sea mangroves in Egypt and their abilities to produce Omega-3 fatty acids

Forty-one isolates of the genus Aurantiochytrium were cultured from 32 samples collected from the Red Sea mangroves, Egypt. Cultured thraustochytrids isolated from: decaying leaves of Avicennia marina (34 isolates), decaying pneumatophores of A. marina (3 isolates), and decaying...

Seeing through others’ eyes in immersive VR: insights from a user study

Abstract Despite the increasing usage of collaborative Virtual Reality in classrooms, teachers often struggle to ascertain whether the participants are adequately sharing the same viewpoint and are seeing the same information during lectures. Virtual Reality offers numerous advan...

Legal Fragmentation and Teacher Protection in South African Inclusive Education Classrooms: A Critical Document Analysis

Inclusive education in South Africa is based on constitutional rights to equality, dignity, and basic education, with teachers as key implementers. However, teacher responsibilities are clearly defined, but the legal protections supporting these duties are fragmented across vario...

UDCT v7.12 Preregistration: Anisotropy and Screening-Length Boundaries of Signed Jeans Solutions in Hydrus I

This record preregisters the UDCT v7.12 numerical protocol for investigating anisotropy and screening-length boundaries of signed radial Jeans solutions in Hydrus I. Motivated by the previously reported v7.11 results, the study will examine constant velocity anisotropy β from 0 t...

Additional Transit-like Signals in TESS Photometry of TOI-6898 and LHS 1815

I report two transit-like signals found in public TESS photometry of stars that already host a transiting planet or planet candidates. In TOI-6898 (TIC 441158994), a 5.4687 d signal about 500 ppm deep appears in all five observed sectors (2018-2026) and would correspond to a 1.55...

Overseas students face various challenges in adapting to academic and social life in higher education. One of the factors that is assumed to facilitate the adjustment process is social support. This study aimed to examine the effect of social support on the adjustment of overseas...

Changes in higher vocational nursing programme sites in China and their alignment with regional health service demand: implications for nursing workforce planning

Abstract Background To explore the changes in higher vocational nursing programme sites in China in 2013–2025 and analyze their distribution between regional health service demand, to provide evidence on optimizing the layout of nursing vocational education and to provide informa...

Odd perfect numbers have at least two prime factors exceeding 10^6: statement and verification record

Statement of a computational theorem with its verification record. Theorem: every odd perfect number has at least two distinct prime factors exceeding 10^6; in particular its second largest prime factor exceeds 10^6. The previous bound on the second largest prime factor, 10^4, is...

A nonminimizing limit of the uncorrected noisy game (C73-25)

A counterexample to minimizing selection for the uncorrected noisy game in the catalogue's stated admissible-penalty class. The construction uses a shrinking boundary cutoff and a vanishing interior term. The narrower pure decreasing-boundary-cutoff variant is not claimed. Conten...

Association between early sexual debut and HIV infection among adolescent girls and young women in Cameroon: does motherhood modify the relationship?

Abstract Background In Cameroon, where HIV prevalence among Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) remains nearly double that of their male peers, limited evidence exists on how early sexual debut and motherhood jointly shape HIV risk. This study examines the association between...
