Metaphysics has always asked some of the most fundamental questions human beings can formulate. What exists? What is reality? What does it mean to exist? Can human beings genuinely know reality? Does existence have meaning? For centuries, philosophical traditions attempted to answer these questions through comprehensive systems of thought. However, modern philosophy increasingly examined the limits of human reason, while postmodern philosophy challenged assumptions about universal truth, stable meaning, language, and objective knowledge. Despite these challenges, metaphysical questions have never disappeared. Instead, they continue to return in different forms. The article “Metamodernism and the Recovery of Metaphysics” examines whether metaphysics can be reconsidered within the emerging framework of metamodernism. Rather than attempting to restore traditional metaphysical certainty, the discussion proposes a more cautious and open approach to questions of reality, existence,...

Artificial intelligence has changed creative writing. With generative AI, producing a paragraph, short story, or even a lengthy fictional narrative can take only a few prompts. The resulting text can be grammatically correct, descriptive, imaginative, and stylistically convincing. But there is a major difference between writing sentences and building a coherent story . A successful long-form narrative needs characters who remain recognizable, events that connect with one another, symbols that have meaning, and decisions that make sense within the fictional world. This raises an important question: How can we evaluate AI-generated fiction systematically? A recent study published in the Open Access Journal of Data Science & Artificial Intelligence explores this question through an Arabic fiction case study, The Temple . The research proposes a reproducible matrix for evaluating narrative coherence, character continuity, and ethical narrative development. What Is AI-Generated...

A bright, healthy smile depends on more than keeping your teeth clean. Your gums play an essential role in protecting and supporting your teeth, and the way you brush can influence their health. Many people believe that applying more pressure while brushing will produce cleaner teeth. However, aggressive tooth brushing may contribute to gum irritation and gingival recession , particularly in individuals who are susceptible to recession. Gingival recession can expose the root surface of a tooth, potentially leading to sensitivity and aesthetic concerns. Fortunately, modern periodontal procedures can help manage selected cases of gum recession. A recently published case report highlights the successful use of Subepithelial Connective Tissue Grafts (SCTG) to treat gingival recession and achieve complete root coverage. What Is Gum Recession? Gum recession, clinically known as gingival recession , occurs when the gum tissue surrounding a tooth moves downward or away from the tooth, exposin...

What if going to school and gaining more years of education could influence more than our careers? Education is commonly associated with better employment opportunities, higher income, and personal development. Yet public health research increasingly draws attention to another possible connection: the relationship between educational attainment and long-term health. A newly published study in Public Health Open Access explores this relationship, highlighting how higher education is strongly linked with better health outcomes and longer life. The Connection Between Education and Health Our health is shaped by many factors. Genetics, environment, healthcare access, lifestyle, socioeconomic circumstances, and personal behaviors can all influence how healthy we are and how long we live. Education may be another important piece of this complex picture. People with higher levels of education may have greater access to health information and may be better equipped to understand health risks ...

Modern dentistry extends far beyond treating teeth. Today's dental professionals frequently encounter oral manifestations of systemic diseases, making comprehensive diagnosis increasingly important. Among these conditions, Celiac Disease deserves particular attention because many of its earliest clinical signs appear inside the oral cavity. A recently published case report in the Open Access Journal of Dental Sciences demonstrates the successful management of gingival overgrowth associated with Celiac Disease over an impressive 24-month follow-up , offering valuable guidance for clinicians worldwide. Understanding Celiac Disease Celiac Disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder caused by an abnormal immune response to gluten. When individuals with Celiac Disease consume gluten-containing foods, the immune system attacks the small intestine, leading to nutrient malabsorption and multiple systemic complications. Besides gastrointestinal symptoms, patients frequently develop ora...

Maternal healthcare is one of the most important indicators of a nation's healthcare system. Despite technological advances and modern healthcare facilities, many women across the United States continue to face significant barriers when seeking maternity care. Geographic distance, limited obstetric services, and the growing number of maternity care deserts have become major public health concerns. A recent research article published in the Journal of Quality in Health Care & Economics explores these challenges through a comprehensive scoping review, providing valuable insights into how maternity care access is measured across the United States. What is Maternity Care Access? Maternity care access refers to a pregnant woman's ability to obtain timely prenatal, labor, delivery, and postpartum healthcare services. Effective access depends on several factors, including: Availability of obstetric hospitals Number of healthcare providers Geographic distance Transport...
