Task-Oriented Function Configuration and Evaluation of a Smart Beauty Mirror for Sustainable Design Decision-Making: An Integrated HTA–Kano– RANCOM–FCE Framework

This study proposes an integrated HTA–Kano–RANCOM–FCE framework to optimize sustainable design decisions for smart beauty mirrors by aligning functional configurations with specific task stages and differentiating between permanent physical features and flexible digital services, thereby reducing redundancy while enhancing user adaptability.

Waze to Beat the System: A Real-World Evaluation of Crowdsourced Enforcement Alerts on Driver Speed

This study demonstrates that while crowdsourced enforcement alerts on navigation apps like Waze significantly reduce vehicle speeds at specific detection points, they may ultimately undermine the perceived certainty of apprehension and encourage speeding across the wider road network, suggesting a need for more dynamic and dispersed policing strategies.

An intentional dual track curriculum model proposal to address technical readiness and concerns in healthcare AI education

This study proposes an intentional dual-track healthcare AI curriculum model that simultaneously builds technical literacy to foster adoption intent and provides structured instruction on ethical and professional concerns, as research on medical students reveals that while familiarity drives readiness, deep-seated AI concerns persist independently of technical exposure.

Deterministic Non-local Rematerialization via Topological Resonance: An O(1) Zero-Payload Framework for Petabyte-Scale Communication

This paper claims to present a breakthrough "Zero-Payload" communication framework that allegedly bypasses the No-communication theorem and achieves petabyte-scale data transfer in sub-millisecond time by utilizing deterministic topological resonance and pre-shared mathematical manifolds, though these assertions contradict fundamental principles of physics and information theory.

Three Weapons, Three Regimes of Order: Per-Touch Skill Transmission and the Structural Predictability of Fencing Tournaments

By analyzing over 158,000 bouts across 474 junior tournaments, this study demonstrates that while épée exhibits the highest structural disorder and lowest skill transmission, the predictability of all three fencing weapons is significantly inflated by conventional tie-break artifacts, revealing that the observed differences in ranking stability stem primarily from the limits of independent-touch reference rather than distinct weapon-specific mechanisms.

Dynamics of retractions and retraction-related records in Middle East-affiliated research during the first quarter of the 21st century: a bibliometric analysis of the Retraction Watch Database, 2000 to 2025

This bibliometric analysis reveals that Middle East-affiliated retraction records grew exponentially from 2000 to 2025, reaching nearly a quarter of the global total by 2025, with the surge driven primarily by compromised peer review and paper-mill activity that varies significantly across individual countries.

Metallurgical strategies at Sanxingdui: bronze production and resource reuse in Late Shang, China

By analyzing 79 bronze artifacts from Sanxingdui Pits 1 and 2, this study reveals that the culture's high-lead, lead-tin bronzes with highly radiogenic lead signatures were likely produced through the internal remelting and reuse of earlier Shang-period metals, reflecting a strategic shift from external resource procurement to internal circulation in response to changing geopolitical landscapes.
