Determination Of Urinary Metabolites Of Toluene And Xylenes In Paint Workers And Non-Occupationally Exposed Individuals In Saudi Arabia, Ahmad Alturkstani, Radhouane Chakroun, Bassam Jamoussi, Raghad Alhajaji

Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Meteorology, Environment and Arid Land Agriculture

Aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylenes are widely used as solvents in industrial processes, particularly in paint production, despite their known toxicity. Occupational exposure to these chemicals poses significant health risks, especially for workers in the manufacturing and application sectors. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has reported an increased cancer risk associated with paint fume exposure, prompting regulatory agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to establish exposure limits. In Saudi Arabia, a key player in the petroleum and chemical industries, workers face …

The Paradoxical Effect: How Destruction Of Religious Buildings In Ukraine Undermined Russian Propaganda Narratives (2022-2024), Oleksandr Kostiuk, Fedir Vlasenko, Vitalii Turenko

Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe

This research examines the paradoxical relationship between the destruction of religious buildings in Ukraine during the Russian invasion and the effectiveness of Russian propaganda narratives. Using a mixed-methods approach combining statistical data, sociological surveys, and document analysis, we investigate how the systematic targeting of Ukrainian religious sites by Russian forces has produced effects contrary to those likely intended. The research reveals that instead of undermining Ukrainian national identity, the destruction of churches and other religious buildings has catalyzed profound transformations in Ukraine's religious landscape, accelerated the transition of parishes from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) to the Orthodox Church …

“Gen Z Malas Dan Gampang Resign?”: Analisis Wacana Kritis Atas Representasi Negatif Dalam Media Massa, Muhammad Gaza

Jurnal Manajemen dan Usahawan Indonesia

This study employs Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis to examine how Indonesian online media construct negative stereotypes of Generation Z in the workplace. Based on an analysis of 15 national news articles (January–May 2025), the findings reveal that narratives such as “lazy,” “spoiled,” and “quick to resign” are consistently reproduced through word choice, institutional quotes, and framing aligned with traditional work values. The discourse operates on three levels: micro (biased linguistic structures), meso (digital market logic), and macro (intergenerational value tensions). These representations are not mere reflections of reality but symbolic practices that reinforce dominant work structures. A critical reading …

Data-Driven Constrained Control, Ali Kashani

Mechanical Engineering ETDs

Ensuring safety is a fundamental challenge. Traditional methods often rely on precise mathematical models, which are difficult, impractical, or costly to obtain for real-world systems with complex, nonlinear dynamics. This dissertation develops direct data-driven control approaches that enable safe and efficient operation of nonlinear systems without requiring explicit models or performing system identification. This effort leverages machine learning, optimization, and control theory to bridge theoretical rigor and practical applicability. Deterministic guarantees are provided based on the Lipschitz continuity of the system, and probabilistic guarantees through scenario optimization. The computation of safe sets is performed using one-shot approaches with broad neural …

Gene Profiling And Clinicopathological Features For Prognostic Modeling Of Recurrence In Non-Metastatic Clear-Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma., Xuzhi Yan, Jian Chen, Dianzheng Zhang, Xiaodu Xie, Ziqian Wang, Chongliang Zheng, Junhao Jin, Jing Xu, Qian Yan, Qiuli Liu, Weihua Lan, Jun Jiang

PCOM Scholarly Works

BACKGROUND: Accurate risk stratification of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is critical for selecting the most appropriate treatment options. Existing prognostic systems, which incorporate various clinical and pathological parameters, have limitations in terms of accuracy. However, it remains unclear whether integrating molecular data with clinicopathological features can enhance the identification of high-risk tumors. The objective of this study was to establish a model to predict RCC recurrence by integrating molecular data with clinicopathological features and to evaluate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a non-invasive prognostic marker.

METHODS: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on 73 RCC patients, including 54 with clear-cell RCC …
