A relevant objective of managing an electromagnetic (EM) device is to improve its expected results and reduce its undesirable side effects. In this context, this paper aims to evaluate the interest of the two One Health and Responsible Attitude methods in the daily practice of wireless transmission (or transfer) in EM energy devices. These approaches are respectively linked to device eco-design and optimization, as well as to the protection of biodiversity and ecosystems against device side effects related to EM fi [...]

Increasing local energy access in developing countries, particularly in off-grid regions where mini-grids are often overloaded, remains a critically underexplored area in energy transition. These regions often face significant technical and economic challenges, such as low generation capacity, high energy costs, limited energy access, and heavy reliance on diesel fuels. This study explores capacity expansion by integrating small-scale geothermal energy into such a mini-grid system to enhance the local energy supply [...]

The rising concerns of soil erosion, organic waste generation and global warming have shown the need to address them through multifaceted methods that transcend conventional linear models of resource utilization. Circular economy is a regenerative model that is anchored on caring about waste valorisation, resource effectiveness and environmental fortitude. In this paradigm, biochar has been developed as a multifunctional compound capable of integrating waste management, soil rehabilitation, climate control and rene [...]

The study explores the crucial biological function of nitrogen in cyclic and acyclic structures with resonance potential, including tetrazoles, pyrroles, piperidines, and carbamates, within the realm of chemical neuroscience. It highlights the importance of these compounds for their biological properties and their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to reach the central nervous system (CNS). The study emphasizes the necessity for neurochemical drugs, like morphine, to effectively cross the BBB, as modifi [...]

Schizophrenia is a multifactorial mental disorder associated with multiple SNPs in the human genome, located mainly outside the annotated protein-coding genes. These regions contain a large number of retroelements, which drive epigenetic regulation. Therefore, it is suggested that schizophrenia-associated SNPs exert their influence on the pathological functioning and activation of retroelements, which contribute to epigenetic imbalance in the brain with the development of pathological processes. A reflection of the [...]

Morphological evidence of peripheral glial cell involvement is lacking. Therefore, we investigated the presence of Schwann cells in acupuncture meridians. Eight legs of four unembalmed cadavers were used. Along the stomach meridian and a control meridian, quadrangular samples were taken from skin to the deep subcutaneous fascia and embedded in paraffin. 5 µm sections were stained for H&E and processed for immunolabeling using antibodies against S100 and NFP, respectively. In the stomach meridian, a large assembly o [...]

Taiwan relies heavily on imported fossil fuels, with over 98% of its energy demand supplied by foreign sources, posing significant challenges to national energy security. To explore alternatives, this study investigates the potential of marine renewable energy by developing a 20 kW floating hydrokinetic turbine prototype designed for deployment in the Kuroshio Current. The research encompasses system design, model validation, and both tank and at-sea testing to evaluate hydrodynamic performance and power generation [...]

Recent work with people with blindness and intellectual disability assessed a technology-aided program intended to help eight participants travel indoor routes to reach relevant destinations. The technology included a smartphone, two barcode readers worn by the participants at their ankles, barcodes displayed at specific points of the travel routes, and a mini speaker. The technology ensured that participants received verbal instructions on how to proceed (e.g., take a left turn, cross from one side to the other of [...]

A significant social stigma is associated with loneliness. The prevalence of social isolation, in the dawn of the 21st century points to the growing isolation in America. Lonely people who commonly display negative self-perceptions, show great difficulty to establish social ties, and that may be related to their personal inadequacies, or socially undesirable attributes. Lonely people suffer from a low social perception, painting them as less psychologically adjusted, and not very capable in relating to others. That [...]

Leukemia is a heterogeneous group of hematologic malignancies characterized by the dysfunctional proliferation of white blood cells in the bone marrow. Genetic alterations are important risk factors for the development and progression of leukemia, and their detection is crucial. Although many genetic techniques, including karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), have provided valuable information, they all have the limitation of incomplete genomic coverage. The ev [...]

Mathematical learning often presents persistent challenges for children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) due to differences in Executive Functioning (EF), cognitive flexibility, and symbolic reasoning. These factors can hinder the development of numerical understanding and pre-mathematical reasoning, problem-solving, and abstract thinking, frequently resulting in disengagement and anxiety. In recent years, digital and embodied technologies—particularly Serious Games (SG) and Educational Robotics [...]

Stem cell-derived exosomes (SDEs) have emerged as revolutionary mediators in cancer immunotherapy, offering unprecedented potential to reprogram the immunosuppressive tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). These nano-sized extracellular vesicles, laden with non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), serve as natural biocompatible carriers, capable of orchestrating immune cell dynamics, stromal remodeling, and tumor cell fate. Unlike their tumor-derived counterparts, which often propagate oncogenic signals, SDEs uniquely harbor immun [...]

Dietary factors influence chronic inflammation and immune regulation, potentially affecting the onset and activity of rheumatic disease. Red meat, a major source of protein, heme iron, and saturated fat, has been linked to metabolic and inflammatory disorders, yet its role in rheumatic diseases remains unclear.

Selenium (Se) is a key micronutrient integrated into selenoproteins such as glutathione peroxidases (GPx), which are responsible for crucial antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Oxidative stress contributes to the immunopathogenesis and chronic joint damage of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), supporting interest in selenium supplementation as an adjunct therapeutic strategy. This review was based on a structured literature search of major biomedical databases and evaluated six controlled clinical trials involvin [...]

The effective neutron multiplication factor (keff) of a fissile system is a function of space and time f(x, y, z, t), where (x, y, z) are the coordinates of the reference point in space, and t is time. The evidence of the time-dependence of the neutron multiplication factor of a fissile system was published in 2017. The spatial dependence is as important as the time dependence, as interacting arrays of fissile material during storage can lead to an increase in the system (keff). Therefore, evaluation of how the sto [...]

It has become increasingly evident that individuals who work in the NHS can be heavily impacted by the nature of their work; for instance, PTSD, work related burnout, vicarious trauma, moral injury, anxiety, and depression. In turn, individuals who experience said psychological difficulties often require work-related mental health leave from work. This paper examines the experience of a One-day Compassionate Mind Training workshop (CMT), available for all NHS staff. This day has an emphasis on developing multidirec [...]
