Detecting behavioural signatures of depression from everyday digital traces is a central challenge in computational psychiatry. Real-world datasets from smartphones and wearables often suffer from sparse labels, heterogeneous sampling, and highly imbalanced case control ratios, limiting the development of robust models. To explore these challenges under controlled conditions, we construct a clinically inspired synthetic dataset of daily behavioural trajectories for 200 virtual subjects monitored...

The disassembly and assembly of marine oil-separators is a core experiment in marine engineering. To overcome the limitations of traditional physical disassembly and hands-on training, this study employs the implicit three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction theory. By utilizing a large dataset of high-definition images captured from specific angles and leveraging the Laplacian operator-based deep neural network Neural-Radiance-Field algorithm, high-precision 3D models of the oil separator body and ...

The mechanisms underlying accelerated cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remain incompletely understood. Accumulating evidence suggests that AD is a complex, multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder in which oxidative stress plays a central role. Oxidative stress, often triggered by amyloid-β (Aβ)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS), leads to severe cellular damage and contributes to cognitive deterioration. This study investigated the effects of phenylethanoid glycosides (AIE

This paper is a descriptive study of segmental and supra-segmental features of English and Ịzọn languages as well as the interference that occurs in the spoken English performance of Ịzọn English bilinguals. It investigates the differences in the sound systems of both languages that result in interference. Through the literature and by observation, the researcher noted alarming phonological errors or interference in the spoken English performance of Ịzọn speak...

Healthcare organizations operate in environments characterized by regulatory intensity, professional pluralism, technological disruption, and chronic resource constraints—conditions well described by complexity science. Traditional bureaucratic leadership models can secure reliability and compliance, yet they often suppress the interactional dynamics through which adaptation and inclusion emerge. This manuscript advances Complexity Leadership Theory (CLT) by integrating complex adaptive systems ...

Taking Tanzania as an example, this paper systematically analyzes the current situation and challenges of primary school science education in Africa through questionnaires and interviews. The study points out that the lack of teaching resources, limited professional knowledge of teachers, and low learning interest among students are the core issues currently facing primary school science education in Africa. In response to these problems, this paper innovatively proposes specific strategies for ...

Length of stay is a crucial metric in healthcare management, reflecting the duration a patient occupies a hospital bed. According to the Kenya National Commission of Human Rights, around 25% of outpatients and 40% of inpatients are affected by mental health disorders. Kisumu County Referral Hospital (KCRH) is a key provider of mental healthcare services in western Kenya. However, there is a lack of robust data analysis regarding patient flow and length of stay within the psychiatric unit. This s...

Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a rare and aggressive form of multifocal oral lesion characterized by slow progression, resistance to treatment, and a high rate of malignant transformation. This case report describes a 70-year-old female patient presenting with a six-year history of asymptomatic multiple white oral lesions. She reported no history of tobacco or alcohol use but had been wearing an ill-fitting removable denture and using a plant-based mouthwash on a daily basis. Clini...

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education has emerged as a vital concern for countries aspiring to develop innovation systems and move towards a sustainable, knowledge-based economy. In Malaysia, STEM has become a national priority as highlighted through documented policy reform measures; specifically through the Malaysian Education Development Plan 2013–2025 (PPPM) and the National Policy on Science, Technology and Innovation 2021–2030. Despite the existence of these fr...

Decolonization must be inclusive of gender and diversity, and of equal importance, is the sustained relationship with the natural world. Indigenous philosophical practices provide a foundation to create a paradigm shift in socio-economic, and political practices. In this way, instilling principles of indigeneity across boundaries can help mitigate climate change. Red pedagogy asserts and premises Indigenous knowledge and praxis in education [1]. This paper expands upon this premise of praxis wit...
