“Technology and science are, by definition, non-discriminatory”- narratives of the performance of sex and gender dimensions in European climate project proposals

Abstract The integration of sex and gender dimensions (SGDs) in European research and innovation (R&I) funding has become a central policy priority, yet its practical implementation in grant proposals remains underexplored. This study investigates how SGDs are framed, negotiated,...

Calibrated Reliance on Large Language Models for Personalized Surgical Care: A Critical Narrative Review of Confidence, Clinical Reasoning and Decision Support

Large language models can synthesize clinical records, identify phenotypic features and support patient-specific decisions, but fluent explanations may obscure uncertainty. Surgical practice provides a demanding setting in which to examine this problem because decisions combine h...

ABSTRACT Aim This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of oral propranolol versus topical timolol for the treatment of superficial infantile haemangiomas. Methods We systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science a...

Why don't all birds lay early? Causes and consequences of breeding timing for a long‐lived migratory seabird

The relationship between earlier laying and higher breeding success is well-established in avian species. However, a wide distribution of breeding timings is often maintained within a population, and the causes and consequences of this variation require further exploration, parti...

Integrating experiential and problem-based learning for generation Z and alpha: A comparative study

This article explores the evolution of educational strategies, focusing on experiential and problem-based learning (PBL) in the context of Generation Z and Generation Alpha. Drawing from recent literature, it highlights technological advancements, learner preferences and pedagogi...

Optimizing management strategies for T4b esophageal cancer: the role of TEVAR in multimodal treatment approaches

BACKGROUND: T4b esophageal cancer with aortic invasion remains a major therapeutic challenge because treatment-related tumor regression may precipitate aortoesophageal fistula formation and catastrophic hemorrhage. While chemoradiotherapy is the backbone of disease control, the r...

The Ontological Foundations of H3QM: Emergent Particle Hierarchy, Vacuum Solitons, and the Glueball Mass Spectrum

Modern theoretical physics has long suffered from the "background fallacy"---presupposing an absolute vacuum container in which particles interact. This foundational treatise establishes the ontological bedrock of H3QM (Helical Holographic Hidden Quantum Mechanics), advancing a r...

Is primary metatarsalgia associated with a longer 2nd metatarsal? A comparison of metatarsal lengths in individuals with and without metatarsalgia

Background Metatarsalgia is a generic term used to describe localised forefoot pain around the metatarsals. Primary metatarsalgia is thought to be caused by excessive loading over one or multiple metatarsal heads resulting in localised inflammation and painful callosities. An ide...

Can multi-dimensional descriptive representation increase policy priority alignment? Evidence from South African municipalities

Abstract Does an increase in the number of shared identity traits between citizens and their public representatives increase the likelihood that they will agree on policy priorities? The identities of citizens and politicians are complex and multi-dimensional, but we know little...

MERLIN SCIENCE — E8 Quasicrystalline Phi‑Modulated Coherence Bridges Water and Neural N — E8 Intelligence Research

I'm going to lay out a theoretical proposal, not an established fact. The core idea is this: the 240 root vectors of the E8 lattice, when projected onto hydrogen‑bonded water clusters, can generate a phi‑weighted topological phase field that produces self‑similar resonant frequen...

Creating Novel Affordances

Adaptive behavior involves the perception of affordances, or opportunities for action. Since the term’s introduction by psychologist James J. Gibson in the 1960s, affordances have been the subject matter of those disciplines within psychology predominantly concerned with the stud...
