Burnout, Resilience and Self-Esteem in School Teaching University Students

Burnout syndrome seems to involve fatigue that is characterised by loss of motivation, lack of energy, and some apathy as a consequence of continued exposure to stress in demanding performance circumstances. Background: The goal of the pres...

Application of Electronic Learning by Utilizing Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) Methods in Natural Sciences Subjects (IPA) in Elementary School Students Grade 3

Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) has stopped all aspects of human life, including the world of education. The Ministry of Education of the Republic of Indonesia has stopped face-to-face teaching and learning activities in schools, repla...

Does economic policy uncertainty affect insurance premiums? Fresh empirical evidence

Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) is the level of uncertainty or unpredictability arising from government policy on topics such as taxes, trade, monetary policy, and regulation. Exploring the relationship between EPU and insurance premiums ...

Correlations between Labor Employment and Economic Growth

The main objectives of macroeconomic policy for most governments are: a high level of labouremployment, price stability and high rate of economic growth. As far as I walk in life, I learnsomething new, everywhere I go, I find something that...

Examining the effect of credit on monetary policy with Markov regime switching: Evidence from Turkey

This paper analyses the effect of credit on monetary policy responses for different regimes in Turkey. To do so, the Taylor rule augmented with the credit gap is estimated by using a Markov regime switching model from January 2006 to Decemb...

Investigating the influence of monetary policy on the balance sheet performance of commercial banks

Research aims: The study investigates the influence of monetary policy on the balance sheet performance of commercial banks in Malawi. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study employed an explanatory research design using time series data obt...

Evaluating the social return on investment of dance movement for wellbeing in the prevention of burnout among healthcare staff: a study protocol

Introduction Improvement in the National Health Service (NHS) employees’ mental well-being and staff retention are current key issues. Evidence indicates that dance movement therapy (DMT) has been effective in improving mental health and we...

Quantifying the effect of sea level rise and flood defence – a point process perspective on coastal flood damage

In contrast to recent advances in projecting sea levels, estimations about the economic impact of sea level rise are vague. Nonetheless, they are of great importance for policy making with regard to adaptation and greenhouse-gas mitigation....

Exploring the intersection between sustainable finance and achieving carbon neutrality in the transportation sector

In the context of China's transportation sector, which has faced escalating challenges in carbon emissions, this study delves into the intricate nexus between sustainable finance strategies and the imperative of achieving carbon neutrality....

Integrating clinical and public health knowledge in support of joint medical practice

Abstract Background Strong relations between medicine and public health have long been advocated. Today, professional medical practice assumes joint clinical/public health objectives: GPs are expected to practice community medicine; Hospita...

Relationship between green bonds and carbon neutrality: evidence from top five emitting countries’ sectoral CO2 emissions

Abstract This study analyzes the influence of green bonds on carbon neutrality. It examines the daily data of sectoral CO2 emissions of the top five CO2-emitting nations from January 2, 2019 to December 30, 2022 using wavelet transform cohe...

Quenching factors for Na recoils as a function of Tl dopant concentrations in NaI(Tl) crystals

Abstract Thallium-doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) scintillation detectors play an important role in the field of direct dark matter (DM) searches. The DAMA/LIBRA experiment stands out for its reported observation of an annually modulating DM-...

Where Galaxies Go to Die: The Environments of Massive Quiescent Galaxies at 3 < z < 5

At low redshift, massive quiescent galaxies (MQGs) are most frequently found in massive, rich galaxy clusters, but at high redshift the trend is less clear. Here, we present spectroscopic evidence of the effects of environment on the format...

Intergalactic Wandering Stars in the Local Universe: Theoretical Predictions for Their Distance and Luminosity Distribution

Intergalactic wandering stars (IWSs) within 10 Mpc remain a poorly explored area of astronomy. Such stars, if they exist, are supposed to be wandering objects as they are not bound by the gravitational potential of any galaxy. We set out to...

For All Humankind: Peaceful, Ethical, Cooperative, and Curiosity‐Driven Space Science and Space Weather Research

Abstract Are we moving into a new reality where the next human stepping onto a different world will utter “That's one small step for me, a giant leap for my country”? Is further tightening Heliophysics and space weather research to military...

Supersymmetric domain walls in 7D maximal gauged supergravity

Abstract We give a large class of supersymmetric domain walls in maximal seven-dimensional gauged supergravity with various types of gauge groups. Gaugings are described by components of the embedding tensor transforming in representations ...

An Investigation of Disk Thickness in M51 from Hα, Paα, and Mid-infrared Power Spectra

Power spectra (PS) of high-resolution images of M51 (NGC 5194) taken with the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have been examined for evidence of disk thickness in the form of a change in slope between large ...

On the Formation of Retrograde S-type Planets in Binaries with a Polar Circumbinary Disk

Retrograde S-type planets have been observed in several binary systems, yet their formation pathway remains poorly understood. With high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations, we demonstrate that a polar circumbinary disk around an eccentric,...
