The Hydra-FHE Architecture: Accelerating Homomorphic Large-Integer Arithmetic via Determinant-Locked Shift Operations
No full textFully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) schemes, such as BGV and
CKKS, are currently bottlenecked by the computational cost of modular multiplication over
large cyclotomic rings. This technical report introduces "Hydra-FHE," a specialized arith-
metic core designed to bypass generic multipliers by exploiting the structural rigidity of
Fermat-based moduli (Fn = 22n
+ 1). By replacing expensive O(N log N ) multiplication
circuits with determinant-locked, zero-cost bit-shift operations, we demonstrate a determin-
istic reduction in latency and power consumption. Software benchmarks on 8192-bit integers
confirm a 20.5x speedup compared to standard arithmetic libraries. This architecture
is proposed as a highly efficient IP core for next-generation FPGA and ASIC-based FHE
accelerator
Philosophy of Parental Influence: How Motherlessness Shapes Human Behavior
No full textThe absence of a mother in an individual’s formative years leaves profound imprints on human behavior, psychological development, and moral formation. In Philosophy of Parental Influence: How Motherlessness Shapes Human Behavior, Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, delves into the philosophical and psychological dimensions of motherlessness, unraveling its far-reaching consequences on self-identity, emotional resilience, and ethical judgment. Published in New York in 2023 under the auspices of The United Nations and The Education Training Centre, this book offers a deep analytical framework for understanding how maternal absence reshapes interpersonal relationships, gender roles, and social structures. By integrating historical perspectives, philosophical theories, and empirical research, the book provides a comprehensive exploration of the cognitive and emotional shifts triggered by the absence of maternal figures, presenting solutions for individuals and societies grappling with its effects.
Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, undertakes an intricate analysis of how the absence of a mother influences human cognition, emotional stability, and moral compass. This work, published in 2023 in New York by The United Nations and The Education Training Centre, seeks to bridge the gap between philosophical inquiry and psychological research, investigating the ethical implications of motherlessness. By synthesizing various disciplines, the book provides a multi-dimensional outlook on the social and moral consequences of maternal absence.
At its core, this book defines motherlessness beyond the physical absence of a mother. It explores emotional neglect, abandonment, and societal constructs that diminish maternal influence. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, investigates how philosophical traditions—ranging from existentialism to ethics—interpret the role of maternal presence and its void.
Motherlessness is not just a personal experience but a societal phenomenon that has historical roots and cultural implications. The book identifies key patterns in civilizations where maternal absence has impacted gender relations, familial structures, and moral education. Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, highlights case studies that showcase the adaptive and maladaptive mechanisms individuals develop in response to motherlessness.
The book is grounded in philosophical principles, including virtue ethics, deontological reasoning, and psychological development theories. By applying these frameworks, Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, constructs a systematic analysis of how individuals compensate for maternal absence and how moral reasoning is shaped in such contexts.
To measure the impact of motherlessness, the book identifies key indicators such as emotional resilience, identity formation, relationship dynamics, and moral decision-making. These parameters help distinguish between adaptive behaviors and those leading to dysfunction.
Examining variables such as early childhood attachment, cultural influences, and social policies, Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, presents a framework for understanding how different factors contribute to the psychological outcomes of motherless individuals.
Factors such as socioeconomic status, support systems, and educational environments play a crucial role in moderating the effects of maternal absence. The book offers insights into how these variables intersect to either mitigate or exacerbate the consequences of growing up without a mother.
Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, proposes intervention strategies that can be applied at individual, familial, and institutional levels. He emphasizes the role of mentorship, community support, and educational reforms in addressing the challenges faced by motherless individuals.
Addressing motherlessness requires overcoming societal stigma, economic constraints, and psychological barriers. This book discusses the obstacles faced in policy implementation and psychological rehabilitation efforts.
In conclusion, Philosophy of Parental Influence: How Motherlessness Shapes Human Behavior underscores the intricate relationship between maternal presence and human development. Through philosophical reflection and empirical analysis, Prof. Dr. Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad, Ph.D., DBA, presents a compelling narrative on how motherlessness reshapes moral and psychological landscapes.

Love Connects Us with Consciousness
No full textThis project develops a philosophical and phenomenological account of love as a transformative structure of consciousness. Moving beyond romantic and psychological definitions, the work investigates how love intensifies attention, reveals unconscious fears, softens ego-boundaries, and integrates emotional intensity with reflective awareness. The study positions love not merely as a relational emotion but as a mode of self-recognition through which consciousness encounters its own depth. The paper contributes to interdisciplinary discussions in philosophy of mind, affect theory, existential thought, and relational psychology
Virtual reality for cognitive–motor interventions in Dyslexia: bridging perception, action, and reading
No full textTechnology-based interventions, particularly virtual reality (VR), have recently gained attention for their potential to promote cognitive and motor training through immersive, multisensory, and interactive environments that foster engagement and experience-dependent neuroplasticity. This project will consist of a narrative review aimed at critically mapping and synthesizing the scientific literature on the use of virtual reality in cognitive and motor interventions for individuals with dyslexia. The review will be conducted in accordance with the Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles (SANRA) recommendations. The protocol will be registered in the Open Science Framework to ensure transparency and methodological rigor. Original studies published in English will be eligible, with no temporal restrictions. Searches will be carried out in the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using combinations of terms related to “dyslexia” and “virtual reality.” Two independent reviewers will screen titles, abstracts, and full texts, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer. The review is expected to systematize current evidence, identify theoretical and methodological trends, highlight knowledge gaps, and contribute to a more integrated understanding of how virtual reality may support cognitive and motor development in dyslexia
Optimizing Leech Therapy for Venous Congestion in Replantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Timing, Duration, and Clinical Outcomes
No full textMedicinal leech therapy, utilizing Hirudo medicinalis, has emerged as a valuable adjunctive treatment for managing venous congestion in microsurgery. Leeches alleviate congestion by actively extracting blood and secreting hirudin, a potent anticoagulant, along with other bioactive substances that promote local vasodilation and temporary drainage . This facilitates tissue survival until neovascularization establishes sufficient venous outflow, typically within 5–7 days post-replantation . The use of leeches in medicine dates back thousands of years, with historical records from ancient Egypt (circa 1500 BCE) describing their application for bloodletting in various ailments [5]. In the 19th century, leech therapy peaked in Europe, with millions of leeches used annually for conditions ranging from inflammation to fever [6]. The advent of modern medicine reduced their use, but the 1980s marked a resurgence in microsurgery, particularly after reports demonstrated their efficacy in salvaging congested flaps and replants . Today, leech therapy is a recognized intervention in plastic and reconstructive surgery, yet its application remains guided by anecdotal experience and small-scale studies rather than standardized protocols
Brain as hardware: A Neurology Network Model
No full textThis project establishes a novel conceptual framework in Network Neurology, proposing a shift from symptom-based diagnosis to a systems-level understanding of bioelectrical hardware efficiency. The "Brain as Hardware" model treats the central nervous system as a computational infrastructure with finite processing resources (Cognitive Reserve), where neurological disorders are viewed as failures of network stabilization and gain control
The Mediating Role of Retrieval Failures on the Effect of Age on State Curiosity
No full textCuriosity in older adults is considered to be an important factor in healthy aging, but uncertainties remain about the mechanisms underlying curiosity in later life. For instance, research on curiosity demonstrates different age-related patterns depending on the measurement approach. Questionnaires about everyday life indicate that curiosity in older adults is often higher than in younger adults, whereas experimental studies that evoke curiosity in the moment often demonstrate higher scores in older adults compared to younger adults. One potential explanation for this opposing age difference is retrieval failures. Retrieval failures occur relatively more often in experimental settings than in everyday life. Furthermore, retrieval failures are more frequently experienced in older than in younger adults and positively predict state curiosity. In the present study, we will examine the role of retrieval failures in explaining differences in state curiosity between older and younger adults
On the Anthropic-Guided Cosmological Bootstrap: A Self-Consistent Engineering Model of Universogenesis Based on Vacuum Potential and Spacetime Loops
No full textBackground and Dilemmas:
While the contemporary Standard Cosmological Model (ΛCDM) accurately describes cosmic evolution, it is deeply mired in two major ontological dilemmas: the infinite logical regression of the "First Cause," and the extremely low-probability conundrum of "Fine-Tuning." Why do physical constants (such as α, G, and Λ) fall precisely within the extremely narrow range that permits carbon-based life? Traditional explanations resort to untestable multiverses or supernatural theology, lacking internal self-consistency within physics.
Core Hypothesis:
This study proposes a novel "Recursive Universogenesis" model to resolve these conundrums. We hypothesize that the universe is fundamentally a macroscopic Closed Timelike Curve (CTC). Its originating energy and physical laws are not the products of random quantum fluctuations; rather, they are precisely set via Retro-causal Engineering by an ultimate intelligent civilization (Type-V Civilization) that evolved within this universe, operating at the Heat Death Point.
Theoretical Derivation and Mechanisms:
Energy Acquisition: Vacuum Potential Pump:
We demonstrate that against the backdrop of Heat Death, a massive potential difference exists between the Absolute Vacuum of macroscopic spacetime and the Local Quantum Vacuum within residual particles. Through engineering means, the civilization shatters this Metastability, triggering controlled Vacuum Decay to extract the Planck-scale energy required to reboot the universe.
Reboot Dynamics: Return to Non-locality:
Utilizing the "Temporal Dimension Collapse" caused by the cessation of entropy increase (ΔS→0) in the Heat Death state, we prove that the speed of light limit of Special Relativity will become invalid at tend. This causes the universe to instantaneously revert from a localized state to a global entangled state of quantum mechanics, achieving an Instantaneous Non-local Gravitational Collapse of matter and energy, thereby triggering the Big Bounce.
Information Encoding: Holographic Parameter Injection:
Physical constants are redefined as the "Genetic Code" embedded into the underlying vacuum by the civilization of the previous epoch. By performing Holographic Information Injection onto fundamental particles in the singularity state, the civilization ensures that the evolution of the next epoch inevitably points toward the birth of intelligent life.
Conclusion:
This theory eliminates the reliance on an external creator, constructing a logically self-consistent engineering closed loop driven by the Strong Anthropic Principle. The universe is its own creator, and human civilization is a critical executable program within this grand self-replicating process
