Construction Method of Cyberspace Coordinate System Model Based on Topological Structure

This paper proposes a Cyberspace Topological Coordinate System (CTCS) model and a corresponding 3D framework that utilize logical, informational, and social relationships to effectively visualize and analyze complex network structures, outperforming traditional methods by integrating diverse data types and revealing node attributes and propagation paths.

The International Power Structure System in South Asia and Its Operational Mechanisms Based on Social Network Analysis(SNA)

This paper utilizes Social Network Analysis to map the multi-dimensional power dynamics among South Asian nations and China, revealing a core-periphery structure dominated by India, characterized by tight economic interdependence but sparse military ties, and evolving toward a multipolar system through external intervention and alliance balancing.

Decomposing climate–health vulnerability into structural, system buffering and amplification components: a longitudinal analysis in Kenya

This study introduces a layered vulnerability framework that decomposes climate–health risk in Kenya (1987–2023) into structural, buffering, and amplification components, demonstrating that while baseline susceptibility explains most variation, system capacity and amplification pathways are critical independent modifiers of realized impacts.

Scenario Based Dynamic Material Flow Analysis of Dutch Macro Infrastructure Stocks: Assessing Future Material Demand and Circularity Potentials

This study employs a dynamic material flow analysis to forecast future demand and circularity potentials for steel, concrete, and asphalt in Dutch macro-infrastructure, revealing that while end-of-life material recovery could theoretically satisfy the majority of future demand, technological and regulatory constraints currently limit closed-loop circularity to significantly lower levels, necessitating targeted policies to reduce virgin material use and achieve net-zero targets.

Evolving genetic landscapes of Plasmodium falciparum Kelch-13 polymorphisms in Nigeria: A systematic review and meta-analysis

This systematic review and meta-analysis reveals that *Plasmodium falciparum* Kelch-13 polymorphisms in Nigeria are highly diverse and independently emerging rather than dominated by a single mutation, underscoring the urgent need for sustained genomic surveillance to prevent the spread of artemisinin resistance.

Correlation and Agreement Between StrokeVista and RAPID Results: Analyses of Computed Tomography Perfusion Parameters and Thrombectomy Decisions

This study demonstrates that the novel StrokeVista software exhibits strong correlation, negligible measurement differences, and almost perfect agreement with the reference standard RAPID in perfusion parameters and thrombectomy decision-making for acute ischemic stroke patients, validating its reliability as a clinical decision support tool.

Explaining the gender gap in profits among entrepreneurs in Malawi

Using novel survey data from Malawi, this study finds that while male-owned businesses earn 120% higher profits than female-owned ones, the gender gap is primarily driven by caregiving responsibilities and capital access, though gendered workplace hostility significantly and disproportionately reduces profits for female entrepreneurs.
