Abstract

Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynecologic malignancies due to late diagnosis. Early detection is critical for improving survival rates, yet current screening methods are inadequate. To identify and validate non-invasive biomarkers for the early detection of ovarian cancer, focusing on improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. This study utilized proteomic and genomic approaches, including mass spectrometry for protein profiling and next-generation sequencing for analyzing cfDNA and miRNAs. Blood samples from patients with early-stage ovarian cancer, healthy controls, and individuals with benign conditions were analyzed. The combination of CA-125 and HE4 biomarkers significantly increased sensitivity (85%) and specificity (90%) for early detection of ovarian cancer compared to CA-125 alone. Proteomic analysis identified significant differences in protein profiles between cancer patients and healthy controls. Genomic analysis revealed specific mutations in cfDNA associated with ovarian cancer. The study demonstrates that a combination of CA-125 and HE4, along with multi-omic approaches, can enhance the early detection of ovarian cancer, providing a basis for the development of more accurate diagnostic tests. Further clinical trials are necessary to validate these findings.

Abstract

Urban populations often face high levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout, which can negatively affect their overall well-being. While mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been widely studied for their effectiveness in reducing symptoms of mental health disorders, less attention has been paid to their potential in fostering positive psychological outcomes such as flourishing and psychological capital. Flourishing, characterized by life satisfaction, meaning, and engagement, alongside psychological capital, which includes hope, resilience, self-efficacy, and optimism, are essential for long-term well-being and adaptive functioning. This study aims to explore the role of mindfulness-based lifestyle interventions (MBLIs) in cultivating flourishing and psychological capital among urban populations, beyond the reduction of negative symptoms. The research utilized a mixed-methods design, involving pre- and post-assessments using the Flourishing Scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire, and qualitative interviews. A sample of 100 urban residents participated in an 8-week MBLIs program. Results indicated significant improvements in flourishing (mean increase of 1.2 points) and psychological capital (mean increase of 1.2 points). Participants reported higher levels of self-efficacy, optimism, and emotional resilience. In conclusion, mindfulness-based interventions can serve as a valuable tool in enhancing psychological resilience and well-being, particularly in urban populations, supporting long-term mental health and flourishing.

Abstract

Drug discovery increasingly relies on accurate simulation of molecular Hamiltonians, yet classical computational methods face exponential scaling barriers when modeling complex quantum systems. Recent advances in quantum machine learning (QML) and the availability of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices offer new opportunities to accelerate molecular simulation despite hardware noise and qubit limitations. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of QML-based variational algorithms in improving the efficiency and accuracy of Hamiltonian simulation for drug-relevant molecules on NISQ platforms. A hybrid quantum–classical methodology was employed, combining variational quantum eigensolvers, noise-aware circuit optimization, and supervised learning models trained to predict energy landscapes. Experimental simulations were performed using IBM-Q and Rigetti NISQ architectures, supported by classical benchmarks for validation. The results demonstrate that QML-enhanced variational circuits significantly reduce computational depth while maintaining competitive accuracy compared to classical methods, particularly for medium-sized molecular systems. The findings also reveal that noise-adaptive training improves algorithm robustness, enabling more reliable energy estimation under realistic quantum noise conditions. The study concludes that QML provides a promising pathway for accelerating early-stage drug discovery by enabling efficient molecular Hamiltonian simulation on current-generation quantum hardware. Further integration of error mitigation and scalable QML frameworks will be essential for future advancements.

Abstract

The coupling of superconducting qubits with spin ensembles has emerged as a promising solution to bridge the microwave-optical frequency gap in hybrid quantum systems. These systems are crucial for advancing quantum communication, quantum networks, and integrated quantum technologies. However, achieving coherent coupling between these two platforms remains a significant challenge due to the differences in their operational frequency regimes and their susceptibility to decoherence. This research aims to explore the coherent coupling between a superconducting qubit and a spin ensemble, specifically focusing on its potential for efficient microwave-to-optical transduction. The primary objective of this study is to develop a hybrid quantum system that enables the transfer of quantum information between microwave and optical domains with minimal loss of coherence. Experimental and theoretical approaches were used, involving superconducting qubits and nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamonds as the spin ensemble. The results demonstrate that the coupling mechanism is efficient, achieving high transduction efficiencies and long coherence times, particularly at optimized coupling strengths. These findings suggest that the hybrid system can be used for scalable quantum communication systems, facilitating quantum information transfer across different frequency domains. In conclusion, this study provides a robust method for microwave-to-optical transduction, opening new avenues for quantum network development and hybrid quantum technologies.

Abstract

The Brantas River Watershed, a vital socio-economic region in East Java, Indonesia, faces escalating environmental pressures from unplanned urbanization and intensive agriculture. These challenges are exacerbated by climate change, leading to increased land degradation, soil erosion, and severe flood events, which threaten the watershed’s long-term sustainability and the livelihoods of millions. This study aimed to develop and validate a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based Decision Support System (DSS) to aid policymakers in formulating integrated, evidence-based strategies for sustainable land use planning and climate change adaptation within this critical watershed. The DSS was constructed by integrating a multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) framework within a GIS environment. Key geospatial datasets (land cover, soil type, slope, rainfall projections) were weighted using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The system models land suitability and vulnerability to environmental hazards under various climate change scenarios. The developed DSS successfully generated high-resolution maps identifying priority zones for conservation, reforestation, and sustainable development. The model revealed that 22% of the upper watershed area is at high risk of landslides under projected rainfall patterns. The optimized land use plan proposed by the DSS demonstrated a potential to reduce surface runoff by up to 35%, significantly mitigating flood risk. The GIS-based DSS is a powerful and effective tool for integrated watershed management. It provides a dynamic, scientifically-grounded platform for strategic planning, enabling policymakers to balance ecological protection with socio-economic needs and enhance the climate resilience of the Brantas River Watershed.
