Evaluability as a Precondition for Ethical Reasoning in Artificial Intelligence

Contemporary AI ethics has developed a robust normative framework emphasizing fairness, accountability, transparency, explainability, governance, and meaningful human oversight. These principles seek to ensure that increasingly capable AI systems remain subject to responsible hum...

Enhancing MicroplasticRaman Spectral Quality andClassification via a Dual Encoder Residual Network

Abstract When addressing noise interference and baseline drift during the rapid Raman spectral analysis of microplastics, traditional denoising and baseline correction algorithms frequently exhibit limitations such as parameter sensitivity, reliance on manual intervention, and in...

Civilization in the Age of AI: Civilization as a Social System for Realizing and Advancing Capability Continuity

This conceptual paper reinterprets civilization in the age of AI through Capability Continuity: the capacity to form, preserve, transfer, adapt, and further develop capabilities across changes in time, generations, and environments. It argues that writing, education, professional...

Ethical implications of screening for loneliness in primary care when intervention capacity is limited

Abstract Background Loneliness has emerged as a clinically significant health concern, prompting growing interest in systematic screening in care settings. However, the ethical justification for such screening remains uncertain when intervention capacity is limited or inequitably...

Temporal transcriptome of perennial ryegrass leaves at different developmental stages

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is a widely utilized high-quality cool-season turfgrass. Leaves act as the core tissues for maintaining turf green period, landscape uniformity and photosynthetic nutrient accumulation. The temporal developmental traits of leaves directly de...

Impact of smoking and antioxidant use on in vitro fertilization success rates: A retrospective cohort study

Objective: This study investigated the impact of smoking and antioxidant supplementation on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes among couples undergoing IVF treatment at a tertiary infertility center. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 327 couples who underwent I...

Concentric hip work is the most robust lower-limb kinetic correlate of depth-jump height in male collegiate volleyball players

Abstract Background Depth-jump height is commonly used to assess lower-limb explosive performance, but it remains unclear which phase-specific hip, knee, and ankle joint kinetic variables are most consistently associated with performance in volleyball players. Methods In this cro...

Data-driven mapping of known and novel fluid biomarker progression profiles in genetic frontotemporal lobar degeneration

Abstract Introduction Recent proteomic studies have identified both established and novel proteins in genetic frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). However, it remains unclear at what point in the disease these proteins deviate from normal levels and how their trajectories re...

A Geometric Model of SU(2) via the Three‑Leaf Lemniscate and a Derivation of the Jacobi Identity

This paper presents a geometric model of SU(2) using a three‑leaf lemniscate. The trifolium’s orientation space forms S3, its infinitesimal rotations reproduce su(2), and the Jacobi identity arises naturally from the structure’s inherent 120∘ cyclic symmetry.

Taxonomic delineation of four Zygophyllum simplex L. (Zygophyllaceae) morphotypes using morphoanatomical, molecular (SCoT) and chemotaxonomic evidence

Abstract Background This study presents a comprehensive taxonomic adjustment of Zygophyllum simplex (L.) four constituent varieties in Egypt, integrating morphological, anatomical, palynological, molecular, and phytochemical analyses to evaluate their infraspecific differentiatio...

HR leadership as an internal governance mechanism: enacting ethics and organisational justice in a developing economy

Purpose This study aims to investigate how senior HR leaders in India enact corporate governance through everyday ethical practice, challenging board-centric, agency-theoretic accounts of governance and repositioning HR leadership as a governance mechanism. Design/methodology/app...

Reshaping hotel entrepreneurial competitiveness through artificial intelligence

Purpose While existing research acknowledges the broad impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on hotel operations, its competitive advantages remain underexplored. This study aims to examine Greek hotel entrepreneurs’ perceptions of AI’s impact on competitiveness and their intent...

Integrating Mixed Reality with Key Digital Technologies for Elevating On-Site Construction Efficiency: An Integrative Review and Framework

Abstract The global architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector faces a persistent productivity paradox characterized by stagnant growth, frequent schedule overruns, and slow digital adoption. While the emergence of Construction 4.0 introduces automation and data ana...

Operando Monitoring of InterfacialChemistries and Potentials on Ni-Rich NCM811 Using Ambient PressureX-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Abstract Ni-rich layered transition metal (TM) oxides, such as Li1+x[Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1]1–xO2 (NCM811), are widely used as state-of-the-art cathode active materials (CAMs) in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). At high Ni-contents, however, these materials suffer from surface instability,...

Transforming the Canonical Lagrangian of a Relativistic Particle for a Smooth Massless Limit: The Einbein Formulation in 1+1 Dimensions

Abstract:This tutorial derives, step by step and without omitting intermediate algebraic manipulations, the reformulation of the canonical square-root action for a relativistic point particle in a generic (1 + 1)-dimensional Lorentzian metric that permits a smooth limit m → 0. Th...

Part III Cross-Domain Transfer: How Development in One Domain May Affect Another

Part II of this research program distinguished three functionally differentiated domains within the Human Kingdom model — Heart, Intellect, and Self — and argued that different domains cannot be assumed to respond to identical training methods. It further proposed that functional...

Total Synthesisof (±)-Caryopincaolide A

Abstract The first total synthesis of (±)-caryopincaolide A, a rearranged abeo-abietane diterpenoid containing a 5/6/6 fused skeleton and three contiguous all-carbon quaternary centers, is described. The route installs the aromatic ring at an early stage and assembles the congest...

Latent profile analysis of postpartum depression symptoms and its associations with weight stigma and eating behaviors among postpartum women in China

Abstract Background Postpartum depression (PPD) represents a significant maternal health challenge with diverse symptom manifestations. Traditional analytical approaches that treat postpartum women as a homogeneous group may obscure distinct symptom patterns, limiting the develop...

Romantasy, Virginity and Other Fictions

Abstract Virginity is a gendered, racialised, and classed construct disproportionately applied to girls and young women. As a disciplinary mechanism, purity ideals uphold the sexual double standard and regulate femininity through discourses of morality, respectability and innocen...

Beyond IPCC’s narratives on livestock: the need for integrated and holistic metrics

The early IPCC assessment reports (2001, 2007) predominantly conceptualised livestock in technical and efficiency-oriented terms, focusing on productivity and technological innovations, while the 2014 and 2022 reports embed livestock within broader socio-environmental frameworks,...
