Academic stress is a leading contributor to deteriorating mental health in adolescents, yet limited evidence examines this using adolescent-specific validated measures. This study addresses this gap by testing the relationship between cognitive reappraisal (CR) and expressive suppression (ES) and ...

This study investigates the strength of the co-relationships between major semiconductor manufacturers and large technology companies through pair analysis and predicts their relevant future performance using machine learning. In recent years, unpredictable global events—including the COVID-19 pandemic and ...

Nanotechnology is an emerging interdisciplinary field at the intersection of science and engineering, focusing on the study and application of extremely small particles and materials that typically range from one to one hundred nanometers in order to leverage unique physical and chemical properties such as ...

Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is regarded as a major environmental issue. Economic growth is thought to increase wildlife trade by expanding markets and increasing purchasing power. However, empirical analyses linking macroeconomic change to IWT remain limited. This paper examines whether economic ...

Machine learning models that predict criminal recidivism raise important ethical concerns because they can reinforce systemic racial biases. These algorithms often lack interpretability and have been shown to disproportionately misclassify African-American defendants. In this study, we developed an ...

Asthma is a chronic condition where early prediction is often hindered by complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Traditional feature selection methods usually rely on assumptions that might not fully capture the complexity of these interactions. This study investigates whether Information ...

Predicting stock market movements remains a complex challenge due to the market’s inherent volatility, noise, and sensitivity to both fundamental information and investor behavior. This study investigates the application of multiple machine learning models for next-day stock price prediction by utilizing five years ...

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is widely used in the treatment of breast cancer, though response significantly varies across patients (Wang et al., 2017; Abidi et al., 2023). Biomarkers such as HER2 status, hormone receptor (HR) status, and MammaPrint risk score are commonly used to predict treatment ...

Soft robotics relies on materials that are lightweight, flexible, and capable of large, reversible shape changes. Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) have become a leading candidate because they couple the orientational order of liquid crystals with the elasticity of polymer networks, enabling programmable ...

This study examined how bilingual schools influence their middle school students’ perspectives on Spanish-speaking immigrants, addressing a gap in existing research at the intersection of bilingual education, empathy, and immigration attitudes. ...

As memes become an integral part of adolescent communication, an important question arises: what impact do these memes have on the average adolescent? Although prior literature has intensively analyzed the relationship between the consumption of violent media and the development of aggression ...

Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging agricultural contaminant with wide-ranging biological, environmental, and economic consequences. This review analyzes MPs impacts on soil health, plant health, and crop yields. In addition, this review assesses direct economic costs of MPs attributed to ...

Recycling contamination remains one of the most significant barriers to efficient material recovery in modern waste-management systems. Improperly sorted waste introduces non-recyclable materials such as food residue, plastic films, and mixed waste into recycling streams, degrading material quality, increasing ...

Rainwater harvesting is an increasingly important strategy for reducing dependence on imported water and managing urban flooding in growing cities and suburbs. However, limited city-wide research has compared rainwater capture efficiency across different building types, such as high-rises, rowhouses, and ...

Inflammation is a necessary biological response to physical exertion, initiating muscle repair at the cellular level. However, in professional tennis, the compressed tournament calendar and back-to-back match schedules repeatedly trigger the inflammatory cycle before it has fully resolved, shifting the ...

The extreme HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa has led to an acute child welfare crisis, leaving many children orphaned or abandoned. Acres of Love is a non-profit organization that attempts to alleviate this problem by using a unique family-based model of child care. However, there is no existing research about ...

The use of social media in our daily lives has transformed social interaction and connectedness. Individuals’ personalities, emotional regulation and considerations of making online friends as true genuine friends may shape their social media use. The current study aims to investigate Cr Our study used ...

This study investigates whether companies with higher ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) scores generate superior risk-adjusted returns than companies with low ESG scores, across the technology, energy and healthcare sectors, with the chosen sample period being 2017 to 2024. The analysis includes ...

Tamoxifen is widely used to treat estrogen-dependent breast cancer while also blocking Protein Kinase C (PKC) in the brain. Understanding the potential psychological effects of tamoxifen’s PKC inhibition in the brain is essential for improving breast cancer patients’ long-term quality of life. This research paper ...

Space exploration will determine mankind’s presence in the universe, and to progress space exploration new propulsion technologies must be developed. This paper reviews many upcoming propulsion technologies and critically evaluates all of their benefits and drawbacks. Along with explaining the future ...

Single-person households have become a global phenomenon, especially in industrialized and developed countries, driven primarily by social changes such as decreasing birth rates and rising living costs. As a result, the increase in single-person households has led to a higher demand for single-serving products ...

This paper analyses the connection between urbanisation and mangrove degradation in Mumbai over the period of 2001-2023 with a particular interest in assessing the environmental cost of coastal development. Mangrove ecosystems are of great importance in protecting the coast, maintaining biodiversity and ...

This study investigated how closely measured RC discharge time constants follow the theoretical relation τ = RC when capacitance is varied in a fixed-resistance circuit. Commercial capacitors from 0.068 μF to 1000 μF were discharged through an external resistor of 67.2 ± 0.1 kΩ, with three trials conducted for ...

Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology have transformed the discussion on digital finance, economic freedom, and economic development. While Bitcoin, the main object of study in this research, was created aiming at a decentralized alternative to the traditional financial system, its economic ...

The United States Supreme Court has historically viewed the practice of affirmative action, where racial minorities are given a boost in areas such as university admissions, with heightened scrutiny. This paper examines the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. The President and Fellows of ...
