Prediction of Customer Behavior Changing via a Hybrid Approach

IEEE Open Journal of the Computer Society
This study proposes a hybrid approach to predict customer churn by combining statistic approaches and machine learning models. Unlike traditional methods, where churn is defined by a fixed period of time, the proposed algorithm uses the probability of ...

Teaching New Religious Movements Historically: Distance, Empathy, and Cults in the Classroom

Teaching Theology &Religion, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resistance to understanding the beliefs of modern New Religious Movements (NRMs) is well‐known to those who teach in the area. This paper builds on Eugene Gallagher's repurposing of “methodological belief” for college classes on NRMs by suggesting that scholars and teachers in the field of religious studies engage methods and content drawn ...

Is the Scholarly System Breaking Down?

Learned Publishing, Volume 39, Issue 3, -Not available-.
ABSTRACT On the back of countless warnings that the scholarly system is seriously being threatened, indeed, upended by fraud, fakery and numerous bad practices, we set out to establish the extent to which this is true by asking the people who are, arguably, in the best position to know—early career researchers (ECRs).

ATOX1 alleviates radiation‐induced cardiac injury by modulating AMPK/NRF2 to inhibit myocardial oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction

Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 20, Issue 2, June 2026.
This study found that ATOX1 can alleviate radiation‐induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage, maintain mitochondrial function, and reduce oxidative stress by activating the AMPK/NRF2 signaling pathway, ultimately exerting a cardioprotective effect.

Potential Surprise Theory as a Practical and Theoretical Cornerstone of the Uncertainty‐Based Perspective on Risk

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT From all the knowledge that would emerge as relevant to it over infinite time, a risk analysis must be based on the cross‐section available at its undertaking. This creates a knowledge gap, which can lead to surprises. To address a similar problem in economic decision‐making, G. L. S. Shackle developed potential surprise theory (PST).

Finding Stars: Mapping the Geography of the World's Scientific Elites

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract Scientific excellence is clustering ever more tightly in a few ‘superstar’ cities. Four—New York, Boston, London and the San Francisco Bay Area—now host 12% of the world's top scientists. In contrast, the Global South remains largely absent, with the notable exception of Beijing's dramatic rise.

Scalable High‐Force Zipping Electrostatic Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
An electrostatic actuator architecture is presented that combines high energy density with forces and strokes suited for wearable soft robotics. By folding patterned thin films into a scalable honeycomb of zipping units, performance becomes tunable through series–parallel design, achieving over 40 N and 28 J/kg.

Evaluating model and simulation analyzing for P2P Churn

Tongxin xuebao, 2007
Most P2P algorithms based on distributed Hash table（DHT） faced Churn,which was caused by the continuous process of node joining and failure.A Churn evaluating model was proposed and its formulized description,which could give some important instructions ...
