The Sulu Archipelago, nestled between Mindanao and Borneo, has been a melting pot of people and cultures for thousands of years. Major sociopolitical changes marked its history, attracting groups of people or forcing drastic dispersals. Today, the islands host various ethnolinguistic groups, including Sama-Badjaw and Tausug-speaking communities. We surveyed the literature from multiple disciplines
Perovskites have attracted widespread attention for laser applications due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, perovskite lasers typically exhibit a wavelength shift as pump density increases. Here, we report a pump-induced wavelength shift-free laser achieved using a perovskite nanoplatelet with mixed orthorhombic and tetragonal phase. At 293 K, the tetragonal-phase perovskite
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) causes tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), a severe and sometimes life-threatening disease characterized by viral invasion of the central nervous system with symptoms of neuroinflammation1,2. As with other orthoflaviviruses—enveloped, arthropod-borne RNA viruses—host factors required for TBEV entry remain poorly defined. Here we used a genome-scale CRISPR–Cas9-based
We study dynamical optimal transport of discrete time systems (dDOT) with Lagrangian cost. The problem is approached by combining optimal control and Kantorovich duality theory. Based on the derived solution, a first order splitting algorithm is proposed for numerical implementation. While solving partial differential equations is often required in the continuous time case, a salient feature of ou
This article delves into the challenges of conducting activist research with communities labelled as ‘marginalised’ within the confines of neoliberal academia. Through autoethnography and feminist decolonial praxis, we draw from our experiences with Lüvo, a feminist antiracist collective, to illustrate how we navigate these obstacles and integrate our scholarly endeavours with transformative activ
Stuttering is a disorder characterized by transient disruptions in speech motor production. This article is focused on the characteristics of stuttering and the immediate vocal tract mechanisms resulting in stuttered speech disruptions. A range of observations from an initial series of studies on the motor characteristics of stuttering events in adults is presented, combined with a narrative revie
The integration of machine learning (ML) into software operations (MLOps) has significantly increased the demand for data to train and test models, making data sharing and reuse essential to mitigate the high costs of data collection and preprocessing. This study aims to advance the understanding of data sharing within an MLOps context by examining the establishment and governance of a data ecosys
This study explores the integration of Large Language Model (LLM) and Information Retrieval (IR) components to enable filtered search over multimodal structured data. We identify core integration challenges and introduce a conceptual framework based on two paradigms: filtered retrieval and filtered re-ranking. With the focus on the latter, we employ RT-3 rank transformation to dynamically adjust t
The browning of freshwater ecosystems is increasingly evident in temperate and northern regions, with widespread ramifications for lake physics, chemistry, and biology. Contrasting results on how freshwater browning may impact fish have been reported, but there has been no comprehensive examination of how browning may cause cascading effects on individual- to population- to community-level traits
Context: AI technologies are increasingly embedded in products and software engineering processes of industrial IoT, autonomous systems, and cyber-physical systems. It is therefore essential to ensure alignment with safety, reliability, and ethical standards. However, practical software engineering methods for managing misalignment risks remain underdeveloped. Objective: This study aims to explore
Independence and collaboration both play crucial roles in PhD students’ research practice and in their socialization into the PhD role. This study examines how theexpectation of PhD students' academic independence intersects with the need for more collaborative engagements within research groups. Drawing on interviews with supervisors and an analysis of co-authorship patterns in PhD studentdissert
Objective: This study primarily aimed to comprehensively characterize the neurological, neuroradiological and neurocognitive profiles, as well psychiatric features of individuals with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 34 (SCA34) associated with pathogenic variants in the ELOVL4 gene. Secondarily, we investigated the relationship between neurocognitive functions and cerebellar morphology in individuals w
Hydrochlorothiazide has been associated with increased cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma risk. Meanwhile, its association with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) risk is controversial. The association between commonly prescribed antihypertensive medications and BCC risk in the Swedish population was investigated. All cases with a histopathologically verified BCC in Sweden during 2007–2017 and 2 matched co
Transgressive learning has gained scholarly interest as a way of enabling learners to question and defy norms that perpetuate unsustainability. However, transgression can also be risky and calls for responsible teaching able to identify and prevent such risks. This paper asks How transgressive learning can be responsibly integrated into sustainability pedagogy. It clarifies these risks of transgre
A search for dark mesons originating from strongly-coupled, SU(2) dark flavor symmetry conserving models and decaying gaugephobically to pure Standard Model final states containing top and bottom quarks is presented. The search targets fully hadronic final states and final states with exactly one electron or muon and multiple jets. The analyzed data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity o
A search for heavy Majorana neutrinos in scattering of same-sign W boson pairs in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV at the LHC is reported. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1, collected with the ATLAS detector during 2015–2018. The search is performed in final states including a same-sign ee or eμ pair and at least two jets with large invariant mass and a large
The two-particle momentum correlation functions between charm mesons (D∗± and D±) and charged light-flavor mesons (π± and K±) in all charge combinations are measured for the first time by the ALICE Collaboration in high-multiplicity proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV. For DK and D∗K pairs, the experimental results are in agreement with theoretical predictions of the re
