Development Of An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study To Identify Real-Time Predictors Of Physical Activity Among Older People With Hiv: Protocol For A 2-Phase Mixed Methods Study, Dan Song, Lisa Hightow-Weidman, Tuzhen Xu, Yijiong Yang, Jing Wang

Individual Articles

Background: People with HIV are aging rapidly and face accelerated aging-related comorbidities, including cardiovascular diseases and cognitive impairment, due to prolonged HIV-associated inflammation. Physical activity (PA) is a well-established intervention to mitigate these risks; yet, most older people with HIV remain sedentary. Despite considerable efforts to understand PA determinants and design interventions for people with HIV, outcomes have been suboptimal.

Objective: The overarching goal of this project is to use an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) approach to capture ecologically valid relationships between the personal experiences of older people with HIV and PA, as they engage in their normal daily activities. …

Complementary Global–Local Feature Fusion And Ensemble Refinement For Facial-Expression Recognition On Fer2013, H. M. Shahzad, Hassan A. Ahmed

Business Faculty Publications

Facial-expression recognition (FER) on FER2013 remains challenging because of low-resolution images, class imbalance, and label ambiguity. This study presents a global–local feature-fusion framework that integrates complementary representations with validation-based ensemble refinement. A frozen DINOv2 ViT-Base captures global facial semantics, while EfficientNetB3 extracts complementary local texture features. Their fused representation is used for seven-class facial-expression classification. The classification head is first trained with targeted feature-space SMOTE, and the EfficientNetB3 branch is then partially fine-tuned. Five-view test-time augmentation (TTA) is further incorporated at inference, together with an independently trained ConvNeXt-Tiny branch to provide additional architectural diversity. Ensemble weights are selected using a …

The Impact Of Financial Depth Indicators On Economic Growth In Iraq For The Period 2004-2024, Fatima Latif Alwan, Diaa Hussein Saud

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences

This research aims to highlight the impact of financial depth indicators on economic growth in Iraq during the period (2004-2024). It employs a quantitative approach to measure the relationship between the variables under investigation using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The study concludes that the increase in the deposit index and broad money supply does not necessarily reflect genuine development in financial intermediation. Rather, it largely stems from increased cash liquidity outside the banking system and weak confidence in the financial system. Furthermore, the expansion of bank credit has not effectively translated into economic growth because a significant portion …

Impact Of Digital Transformation On Earnings Quality: A Sample Of Commercial Banks Listed On The Iraq Stock Exchange (Isx), Ahmed Neamah Abed

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences

This research will examine how digital transformation influences the quality of earnings of the commercial banks in the Iraqi Stock Exchange. The research problem is that there is no clear picture of what constitutes the relationship between investment in digital assets and the quality of earnings and there is debate on whether digital transformation helps in improving the quality of earnings or that it does not have a significant effect, especially in the new banking environment like Iraq.
The importance of the study is the fact that it presents direct quantitative data of this relationship through the quantifiable financial indicators. …

Children From Six Cultures Reliably Help Their Peers-But In Different Ways, Henriette Zeidler, Marie Schäfer, Esther Herrmann, Patricia Kanngiesser, Luke Maurits, Daniel Haun, Michael Tomasello

School of Psychology

Helping others is an integral part of human sociality, but systematic cross-cultural comparisons of children's helping behavior are rare. Existing work has mainly focused on interactions between adults and children, paying less attention to peer dynamics-which are more relevant in many cultural settings. Here, we report a study of 4- to 9-y-old children's (N = 336) spontaneous helping in 6 highly diverse populations in Latin America, Africa, and Europe (Wichí, Quechua, ≠Akhoe Hai||om, Samburu, Kikuyu, and Germans). In all settings, we observed pairs of same-aged children in an experimental task in which one partner could assist the other by providing …

Designing For Who Actually Shows Up: A Signal Framework For Online Adult Learners In Cybersecurity And Information Technology, Chad Whistle, Mayyada Al-Hammoshi

Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice

Online adult learners pursuing cybersecurity and information technology credentials represent one of the fastest-growing student populations in American higher education, yet the frameworks institutions use to support their success were not designed for them. This population, disproportionately drawn from the 41.9 million Americans who hold some college credit but no credential, arrives workforce-embedded, time-constrained, and skeptical of institutional systems that previously failed to serve them. Existing persistence models grounded in traditional student integration theory inadequately account for the behavioral patterns, motivational structures, and credential expectations that define this learner. This paper proposes the SIGNAL Framework (Skills-based credential architecture, Integrated AI-informed …

Technical Disclosure Specification: Systemic Scale-Invariance And Architectural Metrics Of The Jovian Enclave As A Closed-Loop Failed Solar System (Spec 174), Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical specification establishes the structural, gravitational, and non-equilibrium thermodynamic parameters defining the Jovian system not as an isolated planetary body, but as a fully realized, un-ignited, closed-loop Failed Solar System. Moving away from traditional astronomical classification paradigms that treat satellite moons as passive anomalies, this disclosure formalizes the Jovian enclave as a local mass-accretion engine that mirrors primary solar-planetary architectures with 90% structural fidelity.

Crucially, this paper incorporates recent core-dynamics findings by modeling Jupiter's 50%-radius dilute, "fuzzy" core not as a static impact relic, but as an active, steady-state thermodynamic dissolution zone where metallic hydrogen serves as an aggressive, …

Systems Engineering Integration Architecture: Mission Architecture For Indefinite Surface Operations In Supercritical Venusian Environments (Tectonex-V), Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical specification details the structural integration, multi-phase fluidic control models, and material deployment parameters for the TECTONEX-V planetary lander architecture, engineered exclusively for long-duration operations on the surface of Venus. Moving away from passive, mass-based pressure hulls that succumb to rapid thermal soak and structural collapse, the TECTONEX-V synthesizes an active non-equilibrium thermodynamic shell.

By integrating a monolithic Eckesonium(TM) (iMHEA) structural backbone with automotive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power harvesting, transpiration cooling systems, and non-refractive torsional wave telemetries, the lander converts the intense 9.5 MPa atmospheric pressure and 745 K thermal load of Venus into stabilizing structural inputs. This complete system …
