This release provides the processed data and R and Python code for the revised manuscript "Wet-Year Precipitation Anomalies and Geohazard Economic Losses in China: A Province-Year Sensitivity and Climate-Exposure Assessment" (IJDRR-D-26-01970). It supersedes the earlier code archive for reproduction of the revised analyses. The archive IJDRR_processed_reproduction_v2.zip contains the 620-record province-year analysis panel, processed climate and socioeconomic trajectories, spatial and figure inputs, the variable dictionary, file and field catalogs, software-version records, execution instructions, and reproduction checks. The full entry point is code/run_all.py. Supplementary Tables S1-S66 are mapped to their calculation scripts or processed inputs in TABLE_MAP.csv. The accompanying SHA256 file allows verification of the downloaded archive. The workflow starts from the supplied processed inputs. Historical trend-bootstrap draws and adaptation paired draws are provided for recalculation of their summaries and accounting. Local execution reproduced the main estimate, passed all 24 groups of numerical comparisons, and generated Figures 1-9 and S1-S2. Detailed results and execution requirements are documented in README.md and validation/. Original third-party datasets should be obtained from their providers under the applicable terms. Zenodo release 3.0.0 contains local reproduction package V2, prepared for the September 2026 revision.

Cognitive theories of distress emphasise systematic errors in thinking, but the relation between cognitive distortions and directly measured languishing remains underexamined. This study tested whether the NARMA Model of Languishing, Negativity, Apathy, Restriction in Relationships, Meaninglessness, and Adversity Preoccupation shows a coherent cognitive-distortion architecture. Cross-sectional baseline records were drawn from a common university challenge recruitment period. Participants completed the same baseline measures before intervention exposure; after consent screening, within-source deduplication, and cross-source deduplication, 492 unique participants remained. Cognitive distortions were assessed with the 20-item Cognitive Distortions Scale (CDS), covering ten distortion types across interpersonal and achievement contexts. Higher NARMA was strongly associated with greater overall cognitive distortion, r = .521, 95% CI [.453, .583], p < .001, n = 484 (Spearman ρ = .518). The association was evident in interpersonal (r = .478) and achievement (r = .503) contexts. Every named distortion was positively associated with NARMA after false-discovery-rate correction (rs = .247–.436), and all five NARMA domains related to overall distortion (rs = .362–.518). Across the complete 5 × 10 architecture, all 50 domain-by-distortion coefficients were positive and remained significant after FDR correction (rs = .155–.443). The primary association strengthened under a complete-case specification (r = .538), and leave-one-distortion-out estimates ranged from r = .502 to .531. The resulting pattern was distributed across the architecture but differentially weighted in magnitude. These cross-sectional findings do not establish causal direction or diagnostic status, but they identify a broad cognitive-distortion architecture associated with directly measured languishing.

Cette étude examine l'utilisation actuelle des Ressources Numériques et des techniques d'Intelligence Artificielle (IA) dans l'ingénierie de la formation des futurs enseignants de français, et évalue leur contribution à l'amélioration de cette formation. Elle part de la question suivante : dans quelle mesure l'intégration de l'IA favorise le développement des compétences professionnelles des futurs enseignants ? En posant l'hypothèse que cette intégration constitue un levier pour renouveler les pratiques pédagogiques et améliorer l'efficacité des dispositifs de formation. Adoptant une approche descriptive et analytique, la recherche s'appuie sur un questionnaire administré à un échantillon représentatif de 73 étudiants inscrits au Centre Régional des Métiers de l'Éducation et de la Formation (CRMEF) Casablanca-Settat. Cette démarche méthodologique permet d'analyser les pratiques effectives des étudiants face à l'utilisation des Ressources Numériques et de l'Intelligence Artificielle, dont le rôle devient central dans les systèmes éducatifs contemporains, d'en identifier les difficultés rencontrées et de formuler des recommandations d'amélioration.

This paper argues that river deltas and arterial trees, though studied in separate fields, share a common mathematical architecture. Using side-by-side images as a Rosetta stone, it treats their resemblance as a diagnostic clue rather than a metaphor. Both are described as rooted, planar, directed, space-filling trees with a single inlet, repeated branching, and many terminal outlets. At every internal junction, flow is conserved. Both exhibit hierarchical scaling and self-similarity. The central contribution is a common variational template. If a branching network minimizes a separable cost combining transport dissipation and maintenance or volume cost, then optimal branch sizes at each junction obey a power-law relation. The exponent depends on the physics: viscous laminar flow yields Murray's law for blood vessels, while Manning-style open-channel flow yields a different, testable river scaling. Thus the template does not prove identity; it shows that one abstract optimization structure can generate known biological scaling and a conditional geophysical prediction. The paper then asks why such similarity exists. It offers conjectures: convergent optimization, constructal law, diffusion-limited aggregation, resource constraints, robustness, and a universal attractor. It states falsification tests: scaling exponents and graph metrics should not be random after conditioning on constraints, and diagnostics should transfer across domains. A second theoretical part connects the networks to thin and thick chaos. It defines a diagnostic tuple and proves transport-graph invariance: if two transport graphs are isomorphic in the relevant sense, preserving coherent and failure regions and the ordering of edge weights, then thin, transitional, and thick classifications transfer. This supports cross-domain diagnostics for flood forecasting and cardiovascular risk, for example, tracking failure pathways. The paper is careful about limits. Rivers and arteries differ physically in fluid, compliance, timescale, and dynamics. The claim is structural and mathematical, not physical identity. The unity is a shared abstract architecture, not sameness.

We establish the mathematical correspondence between non-Abelian vortex strings in supersymmetric gauge theories and discrete vorton networks in three-dimensional hydrodynamics.In continuous field theory, apparent ultraviolet divergences are regularized when physical degrees of freedom are restricted to a reduced configuration space: non-Abelian strings in N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories avoid singular core collapse because their internal orientations parameterize a compact K¨ahler coset space (CPN−1), while adiabatic metric contraction (ϵ2 → 0) of Yang–Mills theory on Σ2 × T2p forces internal curvature freeze-out (F0ij = 0), projecting four-dimensional gauge fields onto the moduli space of flat connections.We demonstrate that the discrete vorton framework provides a hydrodynamic realization of this reduction principle, replacing continuous field divisibility with an irreducible lattice scale ℓv. We resolve all open conjectures into rigorous mathematical theorems.

This book presents a literary moral-philosophical biography of Hazrat Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (RA), one of the earliest converts to Islam and one of the most uncompromising voices of conscience in early Islamic history. Abu Dharr — known to the world as Jundub ibn Junadah — was a man of the desert who rejected the idols of his tribe before Islam reached him, accepted the faith at its very beginning, and spent the rest of his life speaking truth to power regardless of the cost. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ testified that no sky had shaded and no earth had carried a more truthful tongue than his. He was beaten at the Kaaba, walked alone across the desert to Tabuk when his camel failed, preached against the hoarding of wealth in the markets of Damascus, and died in exile at al-Rabadha — alone, exactly as the Prophet had foretold. The book is structured in eight parts and an appendix, tracing Abu Dharr's life from the pre-Islamic Arabian Peninsula through the Meccan period, the years of closeness with the Prophet in Medina, the Tabuk expedition, the confrontation in Damascus, the contested departure from Medina, and the years of silence and death at al-Rabadha. It draws on the classical Islamic biographical tradition in both its Sunni and Shia transmissions — Ibn Sa'd, al-Tabari, al-Dhahabi, Ibn Abd al-Barr, Ibn Hajar, and Bihar al-Anwar among others — and presents multiple historical readings of contested events without adjudicating between them. The work is written in a hybrid method: documented historical narrative, acknowledged narrative reconstruction, and authorial reflection are distinguished and labelled throughout. It is addressed to the general reader as well as to students of early Islamic history, and to anyone concerned with the enduring tension between truth, power, and conscience.
