Parallel Greedy Approach for Phylogenetic Tree Construction in the Context of Marine Species
Abstract: The rebuilding of phylogenetic trees for marine species shows major computing problems because of the massive genomic data and the huge biodiversity inherent in ocean ecosystems. Traditional phylogenetic methods are accurate but become more expensive when they are processing with thousands of marine taxa parallelly. This article shows a critical analysis of parallel greedy algorithms as an adaptable solution for large-scale marine phylogenetics. It examines the main principles of greedy …

A Comparative Study on Religiosity and Spirituality Among Male and Female Psychologists
Abstract: The current study looked at the differences in religiosity and spirituality between male and female psychologists. We selected 60 participants through a convenient sampling method, which included 30 male and 30 female psychologists. The study focused on understanding how gender may influence religious beliefs and spiritual orientation within a professional psychological context. To assess these constructs, standardized tools were employed: Glock’s Religiosity Measure to evaluate levels of religiosity, and Delaney’s …

Emerging Trends in Horticultural Crops: Role of Date Fruit in Promoting Urinary and Kidney Health
Abstract: Dates, or Phoenix dactylifera L., have been widely consumed in different cultures, both as a food source and for their health benefits. Whereas dates have been reported extensively to improve cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and metabolic function, their role in urinary tract and renal health has received lesser attention in mainstream nutritional sciences. This review systematically evaluates and synthesizes the current literature on the potential effects of dates to promote urinary health …

Integrated Surface Water–Groundwater Dynamics: Implications for Pollution Pathways, Prevention, and Environmental Control
Abstract: Water resources worldwide are increasingly threatened by pollution pressures amplified by climate change and intensified human activities. The vulnerability of surface water and groundwater systems to contamination is strongly governed by their dynamic hydrologic connectivity, which is often overlooked in pollution prevention and control frameworks. Rising global temperatures, altered precipitation regimes, land-use change, and intensified abstraction patterns modify recharge processes, flow paths, and contaminant transport mechanisms across environmental landscapes. This …
