1. Abstract The circadian rhythm (CR), regulated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus, governs the body’s 24-hour sleep-wake cycle and plays an essential role in maintaining immune homeostasis. This review examines how disruption of the CR influences susceptibility to autoimmune diseases (AD). A bibliometric search using Web of Science identified 112 relevant publications, from which the top 100 most-cited papers were analyzed to determine leading contributors a

Abstract The loss of biodiversity and the degradation of ecosystems are often acutely linked to armed conflict. Although studies of war have typically described the human and political consequences, this study provides a review of the ecological aspects of conflict, synthesizing examples of conflicts from global biodiversity hotspots. We identified direct effects of armed conflict—deforestation, habitat destruction, chemical defoliation, and wildlife harvesting—and indirect e

Abstract This paper investigates how explicit and implicit memory systems shape intuitive decision-making in psychiatric patients. Studies show that disorders such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and dementia impair memory processes. These disruptions often increase reliance on intuition, which are helpful but also vulnerable to bias and false memories. In psychiatric care, nurses also frequently use intuition in treatment decisions, though its reliability resides with experie

Abstract Due to their unique atomic and molecular properties, halogen gases play an important role in industrial and agricultural processes, including the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and construction materials. This study investigates the reaction kinetics of hydrogen gas (H 2 ) with fluorine (F 2 ), bromine (Br 2 ), and iodine (I 2 ), focusing on how electronegativity, atomic size, and bond strength influence their reaction rates. In order to achieve this,

Abstract Since the launch of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), various detectors have been released to identify AI-generated content . However, their reliability remains unknown, due to their fluctuating levels of accuracy. In this study, we conducted a preliminary assessment on the accuracy of such tools, namely Copyleaks, GPTZero, Quillbot, Undetectable, and Writer since they were the top results from a Google search titled “AI Detectors.” We tested six text samples

Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that impacts more than 6.9 million people in the United States age 65...
