EUROPEAN AND WORLD PRACTICES OF FORMING A COMPREHENSIVE HUMANITARIAN SPACE

The article examines the formation of a comprehensive humanitarian space in modern conditions. It is determined that it is gaining strategic importance, as it encompasses the integration of policies in the spheres of culture, education, pre...

Client or Volunteer? Understanding Neoliberalism and Neocolonialism Within International Volunteer Health Work

As international volunteer health work increases globally, research pertaining to the social organizations that coordinate the volunteer experience in the Global South has severely lagged. The purpose of this ethnographic study was to criti...

Risk Assessment of Digital Technologies in Sustainable Supply Chain Management: A Fuzzy VIKOR Method

In recent years, digital technologies have emerged as a key driver of intelligence and visibility in supply chain management, offering companies a competitive edge to enhance sustainability. Despite the various benefits, digitalization intr...

A Sea Ice Entrapment Event in the Southern Chukchi Sea: Analysis and Prediction

Abstract Amplified Arctic warming is reducing sea ice cover, which is driving an increase in geopolitical interest in the region as it offers the possibility of reducing shipping times between Asia, Europe, and eastern North America, at the...

Assessment of the response of tropical dry forests to El Niño southern oscillation

Tropical Dry Forests (TDFs) in the Americas are significantly affected by drought related to El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The analysis builds upon two drought indices: the MODIS-derived Vegetation Condition Index (VCI) and Temperatu...

Role of N343 glycosylation on the SARS-CoV-2 S RBD structure and co-receptor binding across variants of concern

Glycosylation of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein represents a key target for viral evolution because it affects both viral evasion and fitness. Successful variations in the glycan shield are difficult to achieve though, as protein glycosyl...

Impacts of Sugarcane Vinasses on the Structure and Composition of Bacterial Communities in Brazilian Tropical Oxisols

This study explored how different sugarcane vinasses influence the structure and composition of soil bacterial communities in two tropical Oxisols with contrasting textures. In a controlled microcosm experiment with sugarcane seedlings, two...

Fishing, predation, and temperature drive herring decline in a large marine ecosystem

Abstract Since 1960, landings of Atlantic herring have been the greatest of any marine species in Canada, surpassing Atlantic cod and accounting for 24% of the total seafood harvested in Atlantic Canada. The Scotian Shelf‐Bay of Fundy herri...

Engaging Students in Science: The Potential Role of “Narrative Thinking” and “Romantic Understanding”

Engaging students in science and helping them develop an understanding of its ideas has been a consistent challenge for both science teachers and science educators alike. Such a challenge is even greater in the context of the “Science for A...

Can a Technology Enterprise Transition from Niche to Wider Market Appeal in the Turbulent Digital Media Industry?

On the Formation of Retrograde S-type Planets in Binaries with a Polar Circumbinary Disk

Retrograde S-type planets have been observed in several binary systems, yet their formation pathway remains poorly understood. With high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations, we demonstrate that a polar circumbinary disk around an eccentric,...

Impact of Higher Harmonics of Gravitational Radiation on the Population Inference of Binary Black Holes

Templates modeling just the dominant mode of gravitational radiation are generally sufficient for the unbiased parameter inference of near-equal-mass compact binary mergers. However, neglecting the subdominant modes can bias the inference i...

Plasma Exchange for ANCA-Associated Vasculitis: An International Survey of Patient PreferencesPlain Language Summary

Rationale & Objective: We sought to elicit patient preferences regarding the use of plasma exchange in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) and its tradeoffs of risk of kidney failure and risk of serious infec...

Canadian Patterns of Antimicrobial Resistance: Overview of Current Trends Related to Hospital Pathogens

Selection of appropriate empirical antibiotic therapy is dependent on many factors, not the least of which is an understanding of antimicrobial resistance rates in the patient population that is undergoing treatment. Resistance rates may va...

EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF INCLISIRAN BY BASELINE BODY MASS INDEX: A POST HOC POOLED ANALYSIS OF THE ORION-9, ORION-10 AND ORION-11 PHASE III RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS

Therapeutic Area: ASCVD/CVD Risk Factors Background: Excessive bodyweight, often associated with dyslipidemia, may affect the pharmacology of drugs. Inclisiran, a small interfering RNA targeting PCSK9 hepatic mRNA, is an effective LDL-C low...

Assessing PM2.5 pollution in the Northeastern United States from the 2023 Canadian wildfire smoke: an episodic study integrating air quality and health impact modeling with emissions and meteorological uncertainty analysis

Between June 6 and 8, 2023, wildfires in Quebec, Canada generated massive smoke plumes that traveled long distances and deteriorated air quality across the Northeastern United States (US). Surface daily PM _2.5 observations exceeded 100 µ g...

Decentralized Cooperative Localization Approach for Autonomous Multirobot Systems

This study proposes the use of a split covariance intersection algorithm (Split-CI) for decentralized multirobot cooperative localization. In the proposed method, each robot maintains a local cubature Kalman filter to estimate its own pose ...
