This paper explores Karl Jaspers' concept of boundary situations and extends it to collective experiences in the modern world. The analysis examines how these philosophical concepts apply to contemporary challenges such as climate change, technological disruption, and social polarization.

This paper presents a seamless multiscale workflow—from density‑functional theory to kinetic Monte Carlo—that captures catalytic dynamics under realistic reaction environments, enabling predictive screening of industrially relevant oxide surfaces.

A systematic review proposing delirium as a final common pathway syndrome driven by neuroinflammatory convergence, integrating recent biomarker evidence with real‑world AI detection models.

This comprehensive review examines the emerging role of retinal biomarkers in Parkinson's disease, focusing on retinal nerve fibre layer thinning and ganglion cell complex degeneration as potential early indicators of neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. The study integrates recent advances in optical coherence tomography with clinical assessments to establish retinal changes as accessible biomarkers for disease progression monitoring.

This integrative review synthesizes contemporary research across multiple disciplines to identify emerging paradigms in scientific understanding. The analysis examines convergent mechanisms across biological, technological, and social systems, highlighting novel theoretical frameworks that bridge traditional disciplinary boundaries and offer new perspectives on complex phenomena.
