Cultural Framings of Cancer: Medical Anthropology on Narrative Intertextuality, Immunotherapeutic Integration, and Neoliberal Resource Conflicts

This medical anthropological study aims to explore the cultural framings of cancer in urban settings, focusing on narrative intertextuality, immunotherapeutic integration, and neoliberal resource conflicts, to understand their impact on health experiences in a globalized context. Through a descriptive synthesis of secondary data—drawn from ethnographic studies, biomedical reviews, and policy reports—it examines how communities in cities like Mumbai, São Paulo, Chicago, and Nairobi construct cancer meanings, integrate biomedical treatments with traditional healing practices, and navigate systemic inequities. The methodology involved selecting peer-reviewed sources from 2000 to 2023 via databases like PubMed and JSTOR, using narrative synthesis and thematic analysis to identify key themes across global North and South urban contexts.Key findings reveal cancer as a contested phenomenon: intertextual narratives frame it as a “divine test” in São Paulo or a “modern affliction” in Nairobi, creating tensions with biomedical approaches like immunotherapy, often seen as foreign. Neoliberal health policies exacerbate resource conflicts, limiting access for low-income groups in Mumbai’s slums and Chicago’s underserved areas. Urban communities show resilience by integrating pluralistic practices—e.g., Ayurveda with chemotherapy in India or spiritual rituals with hospital care in Brazil—though cultural misunderstandings and economic barriers persist. The study advocates for culturally sensitive, equitable interventions, emphasizing bridging biomedical and traditional ontologies through trained providers and policy reforms. Contributing to medical anthropology, it offers interdisciplinary insights into cancer care, providing actionable recommendations—such as subsidizing immunotherapies and employing cultural mediators—to address conflicts and foster integration.

Integrating 5PL Frameworks with Drone-Based Last-Mile Delivery: A Model for Future-Ready Logistics

The rapid evolution of logistics service providers from 1PL to 5PL has underscored the growing need for intelligent, data-driven orchestration across the supply chain. Simultaneously, drone-based delivery has emerged as a promising solution to last-mile challenges, particularly in urban congestion zones and infrastructure-deficient rural areas. However, current deployments of drone logistics remain largely siloed and unintegrated with broader digital logistics platforms. This paper proposes a novel conceptual framework that embeds drone-based last-mile delivery within the orchestration architecture of fifth-party logistics (5PL) systems. Leveraging a multi-agent digital twin model, the study integrates technologies such as IoT for real-time tracking, AI-based metaheuristics (ALNS, PSO, NSGA-II) for route and hub optimization, and blockchain for SLA compliance. A simulation case based on India’s rural healthcare supply chain and ONDC clusters demonstrates substantial improvements in delivery time (↓65%), operational cost (↓40%), and carbon footprint (↓90%) over conventional 4PL systems. Sensitivity analyses under weather fluctuations, demand surges, and battery degradation validate the model’s resilience and adaptability. The findings position 5PLs as future-ready orchestrators of autonomous delivery systems and offer actionable insights for policymakers, supply chain managers, and technology developers toward building sustainable and scalable drone logistics ecosystems.The framework emphasizes interoperability and modular deployment, ensuring ease of integration with evolving logistics platforms.

Neuroarchitecture and Mental Health: The Role of Sustainable Building Materials in Cognitive and Emotional Well-Being

Growing interest in sustainable architecture has highlighted not only ecological benefits but also potential impacts on mental and neurological health. This review explores the emerging field of neuroarchitecture, focusing on how environmentally friendly building materials influence cognitive function, stress regulation, and emotional well-being. A narrative review was conducted across interdisciplinary literature in neuroscience, environmental psychology, biophilic design, and sustainable architecture. The review analyzed peer-reviewed studies on eco-friendly materials—including wood, bamboo, cork, and stone—and their influence on neurological biomarkers, sensory engagement, and psychological health. Preliminary evidence suggests that exposure to natural, non-toxic materials is associated with reduced stress markers (e.g., lower cortisol), improved mood, and enhanced cognitive clarity. Some studies indicate potential links to increased neuroplasticity, greater hippocampal activity, and reduced neuroinflammation; however, these findings are largely derived from animal models or short-term human studies. Materials such as untreated wood and cork provide multisensory stimuli (visual, tactile, olfactory) that may activate brain regions involved in emotional regulation and attention. Sustainable materials may offer neuropsychological benefits that extend beyond aesthetics and environmental responsibility. While early evidence is promising, more longitudinal and mechanistic research is needed to confirm their impact on mental health. Integrating biophilic principles with evidence-informed material selection could transform how architects and designers support well-being through the built environment.

Enhancing Road Safety and Network Intelligence through Vehicleto-Everything (V2X) Communication: Architectures, Models, and Performance Analysis

Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication is a transformative and rapidly advancing paradigm that enables real-time, bidirectional data exchange between vehicles, infrastructure, pedestrians, and broader network systems using wireless technologies. As urban mobility becomes more complex and traffic congestion, collision rates, and demand for safer and more efficient transportation rise, V2X emerges as a key enabler of smart mobility and autonomous driving. By integrating various modes of communication—including Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), Vehicle-to-Network (V2N), and Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P)—V2X provides a unified platform for situational awareness and proactive decision-making. This paper offers a comprehensive survey of V2X communication modes, detailing their architectures, use cases, and deployment challenges. Each communication mode plays a distinct role in enhancing traffic flow, improving road safety, and reducing the burden on human drivers. Moreover, the study introduces mathematical models designed to evaluate crucial performance metrics such as latency, packet delivery ratio (PDR), and network throughput under varying conditions, including traffic density, node mobility, and infrastructure placement. The simulation results underscore the impact of relay node positioning, Road Side Unit (RSU) density, and packet size on the efficiency and reliability of V2X networks. The concluding section highlights the need for dependable and scalable V2X infrastructure and advocates for the integration of intelligent routing algorithms, adaptive communication strategies, and context-aware systems. These advancements are vital to achieving robust, future-proof smart transportation networks that can adapt to evolving technological and societal demands.

Efficient Photocatalytic Degradation of Crystal Violet Dye Using a Synthesized CdO:V2O5 Nanocomposite in the Presence of Sunlight

Materials containing two or more separate phases, at least one of which has nanoscale dimensions, are called nano composites. Coupled semiconductor metal oxides have drawn a lot of interest among these because of their special and improved physicochemical characteristics. These characteristics frequently result from changes in the density of states, electron tunneling, surface plasmon resonance, and quantum confinement effects. In this work, a straightforward and economical co-precipitation technique was used to create CdO:V2O5 binary metal oxide nanocomposites. The presence of crystalline phases corresponding to both CdO and V2O5 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), which was used to evaluate the structural properties of the resultant nanocomposites. The Debye-Scherrer formula was used to compute the crystallite sizes, which showed that the particles were in the nanoscale range and had high crystallinity. The degradation of crystal violet dye under visible light was used to assess the produced nanocomposites’ photocatalytic activity. To investigate the impact of composition on photocatalytic efficiency, nanocomposites with CdO:V2O5 molar ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 were investigated. First-order kinetics was confirmed by the regression coefficients for the degradation process, which were 0.9919, 0.9903, and 0.9800, respectively. The two semiconductors’ synergistic interactions, which improve charge separation and light absorption, are responsible for the difference in photocatalytic performance. These findings imply that CdO:V2O5 nanocomposites are potential options for effective photocatalytic applications, particularly in environmental remediation and wastewater treatment, especially when used at optimal ratios.

Exploring TESOL Pedagogies in Japan: An Autoethnographic Study of Eikaiwa Teaching Practices

With eikaiwa (English conversation schools) playing a crucial role in Japan’s English education landscape, the pedagogical methods used in eikaiwa have received relatively little attention. Thus, utilizing the three-dimensional framework of temporality, sociality, and spatiality, this autoethnographic study explored and documented the teaching practices used and adopted by one of the researchers as a TESOL teacher at eikaiwa schools in Japan. The findings reveal a transition from grammar-focused instruction to student-centered, interactive approaches, influenced by communicative language teaching, task-based learning, and translanguaging strategies. It concludes that factors like social dynamics, institutional constraints, and physical environments shape teaching practices and dynamics in eikaiwa settings. These factors influence teachers to either withdraw or transition from the dominance of grammatical formalism to more student-centered, responsive, and contextualized approaches to learning, as demonstrated by the participant. Moreover, the study points out how the commercial environment in eikaiwa often leads to a conflict between educational purpose and commercial gain but believes that these types of constraints can be the ones that can also drive pedagogical innovations. Lastly, it highlights the role of spatial design in improving classroom and learning interactions that may be relevant beyond eikaiwa settings. While findings may be applicable beyond eikaiwa settings, the study acknowledges its limitations in terms of generalizability across Japan’s eikaiwa institutions. Further studies are needed to shed light on the overall circumstances of eikaiwa teachers in Japan. Implications suggest the need for greater pedagogical autonomy and professional development in private language teaching settings.

A Decomposition Model for Risk Equity and Network Accessibility Trade off in Hazardous Material Transportation: An Empirical Study

A major part of goods and substances transported across the world is categorized as hazardous materials (Hazmat) or dangerous goods. Hazmat transportation has potential risks in nature, so it is essential to avoid risk agglomeration in the most frequently selected routes while transport planning in practice. The concern leads authorities and practitioners to prevent risk concentration, so-called risk equity or risk distribution, but it affects a crucial parameter in transport planning known as network accessibility. This study proposes a procedure and develops the corresponding mathematical models for trading off between risk equity and network accessibility. The linearization technique of decomposition transforms the nonlinear format of equations into the linear ones as well as the risk distribution technique of Min(Max) spreads Hazmat transport risk over the network. The inter-relation between risk equity and accessibility has been illustrated to be easily understood and typically studied as a case study in an intercity road network. The proposed procedure has been performed using experimental data, including network specifications and the Origin-Destination matrix of Hazmat planned to be transported. Based on the research results, applying Hazmat risk distribution techniques and network accessibility measures have a reverse relationship. Therefore, authorities should be aware of the effects of risk equity and road network accessibility in Hazmat transport planning.
