pH-Triggered In-Situ Nasal Gel Systems for Migraine Therapy: A Review
Abstract: Intranasal drug delivery has gained considerable attention as a non-invasive route for delivering drugs to both systemic circulation and the central nervous system, particularly for the treatment of migraine. Traditional nasal formulations such as sprays and drops often show poor therapeutic performance due to rapid mucociliary clearance and limited retention within the nasal cavity. To overcome these challenges, in-situ gel systems have been designed, which transform from a liquid to …

Predictive Analytics for Student Well-Being and Occupational Success
Abstract: The integration of predictive analytics into higher education has significantly transformed institutional decision-making processes. However, prevailing implementations remain predominantly performance-centered, focusing on dropout prediction and grade forecasting rather than holistic developmental outcomes. Concurrently, higher education systems worldwide are confronting escalating concerns regarding student mental health, disengagement, career uncertainty, and labor market volatility. These intersecting challenges necessitate a broader theoretical reconceptualization of predictive analytics—one that integrates psychological well-being and long-term occupational …

Quantum-Fuzzy Tensor Operators and Uncertainty-Band Bifurcation for Symmetry-Preserving State Discrimination
Abstract: A tensor-operator framework is developed for fuzzy conjunction, fuzzy disjunction, and symmetry-preserving state discrimination in multi-qubit quantum systems. In this formulation, fuzzy membership and non-membership degrees are represented through expectations of effect operators acting on density matrices, providing a natural bridge between fuzzy logic and quantum measurement theory. Conjunction and disjunction operations are extended to the quantum domain via tensorised channels, constructed using projective measurements and unitary transformations, enabling logical …
