When Physical Applicability Fails: A Token-Level Verdict Protocol for Physical Claims

A physical claim can be mathematically well formed, empirically non-trivial, and still leave open whether its asserted physical content is licensed by the commitments that carry it. This paper supplies the token-level verdict layer for an applicability framework developed in two...

Evaluation of a novel multi-purpose ophthalmic block simulator amongst ophthalmology trainees

Abstract Purpose Training to perform ophthalmic blocks is often done on actual patients by trial and error. Higher complication rates and poor patient experience occur from a suboptimal block. We assess the efficacy of a novel ophthalmic block simulator via a pilot study. Design:...

The Subconscious Circuit: A Neural Framework for Execution, Automaticity, and Flow

Three execution systems and one gate whose suppression enables them (the cerebellum, basal ganglia, and locus coeruleus, and the hippocampus) are the subconscious infrastructure for skilled execution, automaticity, and flow. During flow, the cerebellum, basal ganglia, and locus c...

Structural Origin of Cosmological Density Ratios: $\Omega_m^2 = 3\Omega_\Lambda \Omega_b$

This work investigates a simple algebraic relation among cosmological density parameters $$\Omega_m^2 \approx 3\,\Omega_\Lambda\,\Omega_b$$ suggested by representative late-time cosmological parameter estimates reported by Planck and DESI analyses. The framework uses the fixed st...

Tobacco industry interference and WHO FCTC Article 5.3 implementation in Aotearoa New Zealand: A qualitative analysis

ABSTRACT Background Article 5.3 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control requires Parties to protect policies from tobacco industry interference, yet implementation remains weak internationally. Aotearoa New Zealand’s (Aotearoa NZ) is seen as a leader in tobacco control...

Quantum Entanglement of Topological Charge: Mechanism, Monogamy, and Why a Hopf Soliton's Spin Entanglement Is Not Topological

Two Hopf solitons with disjoint cores can be linked, and their preimage curves are quantised vortex lines carrying an integer charge. This paper derives the mechanism by which linking structures the entanglement of that charge, and delimits what it can and cannot reach. Entanglem...

Projective Dynamic Logo (PDL) — Global Mapping of Structures, Results, and Open Problems — Version 34

Version 34 of the PDL Global Mapping. This is the first version of this document to withdraw a standing claim of unconditional causal closure. Two independent gaps are now recorded on the chain from axioms C1–C4 to Newton's constant G. First, the active surface R_surf = φ·r_val/3...

Dicke-state preparation by collision-model circuits: a noiseless budget-fidelity frontier, its circuit cost, and measured fidelities on IQM Emerald

Measured Dicke-state fidelities for collision-model preparation circuits on the IQM Emerald superconducting processor, with raw per-circuit outcome histograms, the device calibration snapshot used, and the analysis code needed to regenerate every processed result.

A Minimal Relational Sketch for the Emergence of the Golden Ratio in PDL (Version 2 — corrected)

Version 2 of PDL document D05. This version corrects four errors present in version 1, two of which produced a conclusion numerically incompatible with the formula this note is cited to justify. Taken at face value, version 1 yields R_surf = 574.772 and hence α⁻¹ = 179.921, again...

A Novel Perspective on Intercultural Communication Education: Insights From Ecological Psychology and Complex Systems Theory

Intercultural communication education (ICE) is often viewed as the transfer of stable knowledge, skills, and dispositions. Classroom interaction, as an important component of education, is, however, highly relational and deeply contextual. This paper proposes a novel perspective...

Reaction–Transport Coupling Drives Spatiotemporal Organization in Fuel‐Driven Supramolecular Polymerization

ABSTRACT Chemically fueled supramolecular systems provide a versatile platform for generating nonequilibrium structures and dynamical instabilities, including chemical oscillations and traveling waves reminiscent of biological organization. However, a minimal mechanistic framewor...

Metagenomic insights into mechanisms of coral larval settlement induction and inhibition by marine biofilms

Abstract Background Biofilms are essential to larval settlement in many marine invertebrates, yet the mechanisms driving settlement induction or inhibition in corals remain poorly resolved. This challenge lies in the vast taxonomic and functional diversity of marine biofilms, mak...

A Kohlrausch or Weibull Exponent Below One Admits a Classical Mixture: Pollard's Criterion as a Licence Condition, Two Predictions Refutable Against Existing Literature, and a Self-Audit of the Framework That Produced Them

Consolidated edition. This version merges the three previous papers of the programme into a single document, reordered by logical dependency rather than chronology so that the surviving core is separable from the speculation built on it. 63 pages, 26 sections in 7 parts, 8 append...

The Karataş Protein–Personality Model (KPPM): A Theoretical Framework Linking Protein Expression Patterns to Human Personality Dynamics

The Karataş Protein–Personality Model (KPPM) proposes a theoretical framework linking protein expression patterns to stable personality traits and behavioral dynamics. Drawing from molecular biology, systems neuroscience, and personality psychology, KPPM suggests that variations...

Emergent universe scenario in the modified Chaplygin gas: towards an exact solution and observational constraints

Abstract The modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) model is revisited to examine its capability in describing the complete cosmic evolution within a unified framework. The model is found to be consistent with observational constraints, including the cosmic microwave background (CMB) shift...

When politics shapes technology adoption: a cross-national study of chatbot acceptance

Existing literature on chatbot acceptance has largely relied on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) or Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), often neglecting the broader political, cultural, and attitudinal factors that shape user perceptions. Drawing on a...

Corporate liability for the employment of Indigenous peoples in the extractive industry: A case study of PT. Sambaki Tambang Sentosa in East Halmahera

The extractive industry often faces criticism for marginalizing indigenous communities. This study examines corporate accountability in employing indigenous labor through a case study of PT Sambaki Tambang Sentosa (STS) in East Halmahera, which integrates members of the Togutil g...

Readiness of novice nurses for evidence-based practice in the United Arab Emirates: A national survey

Novice nurses’ knowledge and confidence in evidence-based practice (EBP) competencies raise critical questions about the preparedness of new healthcare professionals in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. Despite the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) strategic direction towards EB...

A Self‐Supervised Framework for Space Object Behaviour Characterisation

ABSTRACT Foundation Models, which leverage large neural networks pre‐trained on unlabelled data before fine‐tuning for specific tasks, are increasingly being applied to specialised domains. Recent examples include ClimaX for climate and Clay for satellite Earth observation, but a...

The new SI – another proposal on the future revision of the International System of Units

This article is an alternative to the proposal of the 24 th meeting of the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 2011 for the future revision of the International System of units. The article starts with a survey of the existing evidence of change of the physical u...
