Key ideas underlying what is now known as holographic duality in string theory and specifically as holographic QCD (see notably also at holographic light front QCD) were preconceived by Alexander Polyakov (cf. historical remarks in Polyakov (2008)) under the name gauge/string duality (cf. historical review in Polyakov (2008)), in efforts to understand confined QCD (the mass gap problem) by regard…

_Jurnal Filsafat_ 29 (1):102-133. 2019The article aims to understand two issues related to sciences and religions. Firstly, in what forms are sciences and religions related? Secondly, how are the methods of that relation? For that purpose, the subject matter of this study are issues included in the relation between sciences and religion, especially those related to forms of relation and its metho…

_Revista de Direito Lusófono (Rdl)_ 1:1-2. 2026This is a digest for the English-speaking circles of learning. This conspectus develops across five thematic stations, traversing the compass, conceptual apparatus, operational conduct, systemic fruits, and the foundational substrate that order and substantiate Carlos Imbrosio Filho’s inquiry.

_Esamskriti_. 2026"[T]he vast repositories of Sanskrit Hindu literature [continue to be dismissed] as mythological, degenerate, or historically unreliable. This colonial gaze effectively stripped the plural religious history of South Asia of its foundational Hindu layers, projecting a false autonomy onto Buddhist developments. However, contemporary philological, ethnographic, and textual analyses…

The present volume investigates the growing tension between emergent forms of world-binding and a society increasingly organizing reality through stabilization, simulation, administrative legibility, and functional reproducibility. Its point of departure is the observation that modern systems have developed enormous capacities for control, prediction, and technical organization, while simultaneou…

We commend Sanbonmatsu et al. (2025) for centring metatheory and metamethod as remedies to “difficult research problems”. However, we wish to depart from their conceptualisation of what models are and what role they play in psychological theorising. Under computationalism, models are not a container for observations through being fit to neurobehavioural data and should not be held to the standard…

_Journal of Qualitative Education_ 4 (1):103-108. 2008The objective of this paper is to look at the state of education in Nigeria. The focus was on the neglect of mother tongue as the major cause of failure in the Nigerian Educational System. Language was defined. The importance of language in education was discussed. The language of instruction was shown as the major factor that determines the a…

Nature, Published online: 13 May 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01561-1 Data from the 2.8-kilometre-deep core stretches back 1.2 million years. Plus, the cost of using AI tools in the lab and the greatest physics mysteries that still divide researchers.

BackgroundHenoch–Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common systemic vasculitis in children. Recent studies have suggested that gut microbiota dysbiosis may contribute to its pathogenesis, but microbial alterations and treatment-related changes remain unclear.MethodsA total of 142 children were initially enrolled, including 103 HSP patients and 39 healthy controls. After excluding 30 patients due…

The study of host-pathogen interactions in animal infection models has clarified mechanisms of bacterial pathogenicity and supported the development of preventive and therapeutic strategies. Although many virulence factors have been identified in vivo using mammals such as mice and rats, this work requires large numbers of animals. Over the past two decades, insect-based alternatives have gained …

BackgroundHyalomma anatolicum is an important vector of veterinary and zoonotic pathogens, posing potential threats to livestock production and public health. Against the background of rising antibiotic resistance worldwide, it is necessary to explore new antimicrobial candidates. Tick defensins exhibit stable structures and strong antimicrobial activity, making them a valuable resource for the d…

BackgroundEndometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by tumor-like growth behavior and limited therapeutic options. Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbiota may contribute to EMs progression by promoting chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation. Fluvastatin, a lipid-lowering agent, exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and immunomodulatory effects and has a…

Contamination of food by Aspergillus niger is a serious global food safety issue due to ochratoxin A (OTA). This study evaluates the use of low-dose gamma irradiation to maximize the mycotoxin-detoxifying properties of a native Bacillus thuringiensis biocontrol agent isolated from soil. A soil-derived B. thuringiensis strain demonstrated significant intrinsic antifungal activity against an OTA-pr…

IntroductionThe continued use of chemical fertilizers to enhance productivity often disturbs the ecological balance of the soil. Integrated nutrient management involving beneficial microorganisms is a promising option for the sustainable maintenance of soil health. In the present study, we aimed to identify potassium (K)-solubilizing bacteria from the tropical evergreen forests of Meghalaya, Indi…

IntroductionLotus seeds and lily bulbs are rich in active components, including polysaccharides, flavonoids, polyphenols, and saponins, which exhibit a range of biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-regulating properties. Consequently, lotus seeds and lily bulbs find extensive applications in the food and cosmetics industries.MethodFirst, lotus seeds, lily bulbs…
