Resolving species boundaries in Mediterranean Xiphinema (Nematoda: Longidoridae) through multivariate morphometrics and multilocus profiling: four new species and two cryptic complexes

By integrating multivariate morphometrics and multilocus molecular profiling of 50 *Xiphinema* populations from the Mediterranean Basin, this study resolves species boundaries through the description of four new species, the identification of two cryptic complexes, and the expansion of available genetic resources.

The Cost of Inaction: Quantifying the Economic Burden of Overweight and Obesity in Australia

This study estimates that overweight and obesity impose a substantial AUD $45.0 billion economic burden on Australia in 2025, driven primarily by indirect costs that increase monotonically with BMI class and are distributed unevenly across government, employers, and households, with women experiencing disproportionately higher employment and income losses.

Responses to Unfavorable Outcomes Produced by Human and Artificial Agents: A Dual-Pathway Model of Upward Counterfactual Thinking and Intentionality Attribution

This paper demonstrates that unfavorable outcomes produced by artificial agents are accepted more readily than those from human agents because people engage in less upward counterfactual thinking and intentionality attribution toward AI, a disparity that becomes more pronounced when the outcome carries high personal stakes.

A Scoring-Based Approach for Structuredness-Aware Business Process Classification

This paper proposes and evaluates a scoring-based approach that automatically classifies business processes into structuredness categories (structured, semi-structured, loosely structured, and unstructured) by analyzing fine-grained temporal and existential activity relationships within event logs to address the lack of automated support in process mining.

Mechanism-Based Reconstruction of Coastal Blue Carbon Enhancement Potential Along the Land-Ocean Aquatic Continuums

This study introduces a mechanism-based framework that integrates upstream anthropogenic pressures and habitat responses to map coastal blue carbon enhancement potential in the Greater Bay Area, revealing that targeted restoration in specific "Robust Priority" zones driven by community-specific pressure responses can maximize carbon gains while accounting for land-ocean linkages.

Inferring First and Second Use Lifespan Indicators for Household Appliances from Peruvian Survey Data

This study utilizes an EM–Weibull mixture model applied to Peruvian National Household Survey data to estimate the first and second-use lifespans of 12 household appliance categories, revealing distinct ownership diffusion patterns and providing the first nationally representative assessment of appliance longevity and reuse in Peru from 2008 to 2024.

From Cash to Code: FinTech Adoption, Digital Public Infrastructure, and Economic Inclusion Among Tribal Communities in India

While India's Digital Public Infrastructure has driven significant aggregate growth in financial access and digital payments, this paper argues that meaningful economic inclusion for tribal communities remains hindered by structural barriers like connectivity gaps and low digital literacy, necessitating targeted interventions to ensure autonomous and equitable financial participation.

Expression of AUF1 in lung adenocarcinoma and its diagnostic value across three types of pathological specimens

This study demonstrates that AUF1 is significantly upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma and serves as a valuable diagnostic biomarker across surgical resection specimens, needle biopsies, and malignant pleural effusions, offering a potential solution for diagnosing patients who cannot undergo surgical biopsies.

Benzo[a]pyrene Induces Metabolic Reprogramming and Perturbs Cholesterol and Vitamin D-related Pathways in Zebrafish Embryos

This study demonstrates that Benzo[a]pyrene exposure induces metabolic reprogramming and developmental toxicity in zebrafish embryos by linking oxidative stress to the disruption of cholesterol synthesis and vitamin D metabolism pathways.
