Monosodium Glutamate Modifies Sex-Dependent Metabolic Adaptation and Hepatic Redox Vulnerability during Carbohydrate-Enriched, Lower-Protein Feeding in Wistar Rats

Chronic monosodium glutamate exposure in rats modifies sex-dependent metabolic adaptation to a carbohydrate-enriched, lower-protein diet by preserving systemic metabolic stability while progressively inducing hepatic redox vulnerability through altered antioxidant capacity and increased oxidative stress.

Prevalence of movement behaviours among adolescents in the Republic of the Marshall Islands: A nationally representative study

A nationally representative study of nearly 2,000 Marshallese adolescents reveals critically low adherence to daily physical activity recommendations and sleep guidelines, alongside high levels of sedentary behavior, with significant variations observed across sex and age groups.

Spatio-temporal Dynamics of Physico-Chemical Hydrology and Aquatic Insect Assemblages in a Western Nigerian River: A Canonical Correspondence Approach to Ecological Integrity

This study utilized Canonical Correspondence Analysis to reveal that hydromorphological attributes, rather than nutrient gradients, primarily structure aquatic insect assemblages in Western Nigeria's Omi River, which maintains high biological integrity despite significant seasonal fluctuations driven by the tropical climate.

Humans Disengage, Reasoning Models Persist: An Item-Controlled Dissociation in Deliberation Allocation

This paper reveals a critical dissociation between humans and large reasoning models (LRMs) in deliberation allocation: while both spend more time on harder problems overall, humans invest less time on items they ultimately get wrong (abandoning difficult tasks), whereas LRMs paradoxically generate longer reasoning traces on problems they fail (persisting in uncertainty), highlighting a fundamental difference in stopping and control policies despite surface-level similarities.

Resource Adequacy and Uneven Equity Gradients in Creative Thinking: A Multilevel Analysis of PISA 2022 Indonesia

This multilevel analysis of PISA 2022 Indonesian data reveals that while educational resource shortages significantly hinder student creative thinking and equity gradients vary across schools, the mediating role of creative self-efficacy observed in high-performing systems is not yet active in this context.

New Concept of Space-time with Mathematical Measurements derived from the Holy Quran

This paper proposes a new concept of space-time with mathematical measurements derived from a specific interpretation of the Holy Quran (Surah Al-Kahf, verse 25), claiming to establish a theoretical scale smaller than Planck's limits and offering potential solutions to problems in the theory of everything through a correlation between Quranic verses and scientific findings.

Closing the EP–Cap gap: a global spectrum of research-integrity governance

This paper argues that research-integrity failures stem from a structural imbalance where the leverage of talent titles outweighs the expected penalties for misconduct, and it proposes a global governance spectrum ranging from stable to collapsed systems, using Germany's rigorous model of criminal referrals and fund recovery as a benchmark to restore evolutionary stability in scientific inquiry.
