Title: The Logical Impossibility of Skepticism: The Doubtability of the Cogito Author: Heesung Lim (Independent Scholar) This paper investigates the fundamental contradictions inherent in modern skepticism, primarily focusing on the deconstruction of René Descartes' "Cogito, ergo sum." While Descartes is hailed as the father of modern skepticism, this study argues that he failed to apply the rigo…

_Australasian Journal of Philosophy_. forthcomingThere is a puzzle concerning haptic touch that has by and large gone unnoticed in the philosophical and psychological literature. This puzzle arises from a tension between two claims concerning the spatial phenomenology of haptic perceptual experience: first, that we experience the objects of haptic perception as spatially continuous unified items;…

This paper demonstrates that the concepts of "liberal" and "conservative" are trite, arbitrary, and uncontrollable. They are by no means opposing concepts. Many people hold them as authorities due to the illusion that they are shared concepts. However, these concepts are used arbitrarily, have become established facts, and are now impossible to control. In liberalism, the absence of consideration…

This paper proposes a minimal, non-phenomenological framework for analyzing the state. Instead of treating the state as a predefined entity or a set of attributes, it is approached as a limiting configuration of relations arising under conditions of high relational density and constrained coordination. By reducing the description to relations, their stability, asymmetry, and modes of fixation, th…

The hippocampus plays a central role in converting short-term into long-term memory and is particularly vulnerable to inflammatory injury. Cognitive impairment is a recognized sequela of bacterial meningitis. Isolated loss of memory formation due to bilateral hippocampal destruction is rare.

Nature Communications, Published online: 05 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72791-0 Pre-existing hypoglycemia weakens the host’s interferon-based immune defense by downregulating the antiviral protein TRIM5 in the lung, thereby increasing the susceptibility to influenza infection.

Scientists at the University of Oxford have achieved something never done before in quantum physics: they created a new type of interaction called “quadsqueezing.” This breakthrough could open new doors for quantum computing, ultra-sensitive measurements, and advanced simulations of complex systems. To understand why this matters, it helps to start with a simple idea. Many […] The post Scientists…

Skin lesions are one of the most prevalent form of diseases existing among us. Early detection and classification of potentially malignant skin lesions can give us a lead in the fight against skin cancer. There are many lesion classification divisions on medical grounds; however, an automated system that detects and classifies a majority of these classes is not prevalent. In view of this scenario…

IntroductionThe rapid emergence of the digital workplace has accelerated the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into human resource management (HRM). However, empirical research on the determinants of AI adoption in organisational contexts remains limited, particularly in emerging economies. This study examines the factors influencing AI adoption in HRM within the South African telecommu…

In the busy and stressful modern world, people tend to disregard mental health, still it is an important factor of overall health. The constant pressure to achieve success, the invasive nature of technology, and the constantly growing needs of the contemporary world may all be the causes of stress, anxiety, and other mental health difficulties. Despite growing awareness, mental health remains a s…

IntroductionArtificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in journalism, yet audience responses may depend on both AI provenance, meaning who or what is presented as having written the story, and transparency cues that disclose AI use. This systematic literature review synthesises empirical studies examining how AI provenance cues and AI disclosure cues in journalism affect perceived cred…

Testicular cancer is one of the most common cancers in young men, especially teenagers and those in their twenties and thirties. The good news is that this type of cancer is often very treatable, especially when it is found early. However, early detection is not always easy. Some tumors do not show up clearly on […] The post A new blood test may catch testicular cancer earlier than ever before ap…

As people grow older, keeping memory and thinking skills strong becomes very important. Many families worry about memory loss and conditions like dementia. While age is one factor, researchers now understand that emotional and social experiences also play a major role in how the brain changes over time. A new study from Rutgers Health has […] The post Hidden stress may quietly cause memory loss i…

At constant pressure we have: $$ dq_{p}=dH=C_{p} dT $$ which implies The enthalpy change dH reflects the increase in internal energy associated with molecular motions such as rotational and vibrational modes. The atoms, molecules or ions that compose a system can undergo several types of... Read more

Salt is a common part of everyday food. It is used to add flavor and also helps the body perform important functions, such as keeping fluids balanced and supporting nerve signals. However, eating too much salt has long been linked to health problems like high blood pressure and heart disease. Now, new research suggests that […] The post Too much salt may cause faster memory loss in men appeared f…

Parkinson’s disease is a condition that slowly affects the brain and body over time. It is most often diagnosed in people between the ages of 55 and 65, although it can sometimes appear earlier. The disease affects movement, causing symptoms such as shaking, slow movement, stiffness, and problems with balance. It can also affect sleep, […] The post Exercise may be the best medicine for Parkinson’…

Panic attacks can feel overwhelming and out of control. People who experience them often describe a sudden wave of fear, along with physical symptoms like a fast heartbeat, shortness of breath, and dizziness. These attacks can happen without warning and can make everyday life very difficult. Although there are medications available, they do not work […] The post Small dose of antibiotic could hel…

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most serious and difficult cancers to treat. It often develops quietly, with few symptoms in the early stages. By the time it is found, the disease has usually spread, making treatment much harder. Because of this, survival rates remain low, and doctors are still searching for better ways to […] The post Hidden weakness found in pancreatic cancer offers new hope fo…

Medications designed to help people lose weight, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, have gained widespread attention in recent years. These drugs belong to a class called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which help control hunger and support weight loss. While they can be very effective, a new study suggests that their benefits may decrease if they are […] The post Weight-loss drugs work best when taken without…
