Exploring the non-linear impact of information and communication technology, globalization, and geopolitical risks on poverty in Pakistan by Nabila Khurshid, Nabila Akram, Mudassar Rashid

“…Using the Non-linear Autoregressive Distributive Lag (NARDL) model, the findings reveal that improvements in ICT infrastructure (ICT_POS) significantly reduce poverty, while setbacks in ICT (ICT_NEG) have minimal impact. On the other hand, rising geopolitical risks (GPR_POS) worsen poverty by reducing economic activity, investment, and trade, with negative geopolitical events (GPR_NEG) further exacerbating the issue. …”

Hidden monopole dark matter via axion portal and its implications for direct detection searches, beam-dump experiments, and the H0 tension by Ryuji Daido, Shu-Yu Ho, Fuminobu Takahashi

“…Abstract Hidden monopole is a plausible dark matter candidate due to its stability, but its direct experimental search is extremely difficult due to feeble interactions with the standard model particles in the minimal form. Then, we introduce an axion, a, connecting the hidden monopole and the standard model particles and examine the current limits and future prospects of direct dark matter searches and beam-dump experiments. …”

Economic, Technical, and Environmental Benefits of Occupants’ Thermal Comfort-Based Heat Loads Participation in Demand Response Program by Mohammadmehdi Sedaghatzadeh, Mohsen Gitizadeh, Matti Lehtonen

“…The electrification of heating and transportation systems is one of the objectives of developed countries to minimize CO2 emissions. This objective pushes distribution systems’ (DBs) operators to incorporate numerous high-power loads into low-voltage networks that were not designed for such loads. …”

Recent Advances in the Surgical Treatment of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Comprehensive Review by Raghunandan Venkat, Marlon A. Guerrero

“…This paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of the different approaches to thyroid surgery, the utility of prophylactic and therapeutic lymph node dissection, and evidence-based guidelines in the treatment of differentiated thyroid cancers. Minimally invasive video-ssisted thyroidectomy is both safe and effective in the hands of the trained surgeon and, in selected patient populations, has comparative perioperative morbidity and better cosmesis as compared to conventional open thyroidectomy. …”

Tooth Surface Modification for Helical Gear Pairs considering Mesh Misalignment Tolerance by Guosheng Han, Bing Yuan, Guan Qiao

“…It is not appropriate to consider the mesh misalignment as a constant value or even completely ignore it in the tooth surface modification design. Aiming to minimize the expectation and variance of static transmission error (STE) fluctuations in consideration of mesh misalignment tolerance, a multiobjective optimization model of tooth surface modification parameters is proposed through coupling the NSGA-II algorithm and an efficient loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA) model. …”
