Augmented Reality Intersecting Digital Content into Real-Life Environments: A Case of A Rurally Located Institution of Higher Learning, Eastern Cape Province

This paper explored the incorporation of Augmented Reality (AR) within the educational framework in a rurally located university in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The study investigated how digital content within real-lived expe...

Prediction of Sport Participation Motivation among Male Adolescent Students in School Physical Education Classes Based on Basic Psychological Needs and Social Responsibility

The aim of this study was to predict the sport participation motivation of male adolescent students in school physical education classes based on basic psychological needs and social responsibility. The research method was a correlational s...

A security picture: A systematic literature review of social representations of security and associated emotional dynamics in the context of multi-layered citizenship

The political world is inherently a social world, composed of multiple groups and identities that often coexist in conflictual and unstable ways. Consequently, the collective meanings attributed to individuals, social groups, and events are...

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...

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 ...

Adoption and Willingness to Pay for Emerging Dementia Therapies: Evidence from a Nationally Representative Survey

Objectives: Decisions about emerging disease-modifying dementia therapies involve both treatment uptake and willingness to pay (WTP), reflecting the monetary valuation of treatment benefits. Existing studies often do not distinguish between...

Restoring Budget Transparency in Ukraine in the Context of War-Induced Institutional Deterioration

The article examines the restoration of budget transparency in Ukraine following its sharp deterioration caused by the full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation and the introduction of martial law. It demonstrates that, during t...

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...

Momentum-space Langevin dynamics of holographic Wilsonian RG flow: self-interacting massive scalar field with marginal deformation

Abstract We explore the mathematical relationship between the holographic Wilsonian renormalization group (HWRG) and stochastic quantization(SQ) motivated by the similarity of the monotonicity in RG flow with Langevin dynamics of non-equili...

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...

The Role of Mixing in Astrophysics

The role of hydrodynamic mixing in astrophysics is reviewed, emphasizing its connections with laser physics experiments and inertial confinement fusion. Computer technology now allows us to use two-dimensional simulations, with complex micr...

Nuclear structure and astrophysics

The nuclear structure in regions of the Segré chart which are of astrophysical importance is reviewed. The main emphasis is put on those nuclei that are relevant for stellar nucleosynthesis in fusion processes, and in slow neutron capture, ...

Astronomy and Astrophysics

The distribution of interstellar extinction has been mapped over the whole sky, using all available spectral and photometric data.The colour excess distribution is modelled as a function of galactic latitude, longitude and distance within a...

Dijet production in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering in next-to-next-to-leading order QCD

Abstract Hard processes in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering can be described by a factorisation into parton-level subprocesses and diffractive parton distributions. In this framework, cross sections for inclusive dijet production in di...

Where Do Hot Jupiters Come from? Revisiting Tidal Disruption and Ejection in High-eccentricity Migration

The origin of hot Jupiters remains a key open question. In the high-eccentricity migration scenario, traditional coreless models predict a strict tidal exclusion zone within ∼2.7 tidal radii r _t , in which giant planets are either fully di...

Impact of quantum-corrected parameter on spinning particle motion around a black hole

Abstract The motion of spinning particles around a quantum-corrected black hole is examined in this paper. We investigate the dynamics of spinning test particles by using the Mathisson–Papapetrou–Dixon equations, the Tulczyjew spin-suppleme...

Successive Partial Disruptions with Orbital Precession in a White Dwarf–Black Hole System for Repeating GRB 250702B

The peculiar gamma-ray burst GRB 250702B is the longest event ever observed, lasting about 1 day and exhibiting four prompt-emission flares of ∼100 s with irregular recurrence intervals of at least 1 hr. To explain this hierarchy of timesca...

Erratum to: Search for resonant and nonresonant production of pairs of dijet resonances in proton-proton collisions at s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV

Kinetic Theory of a Confined Quasi-Two-Dimensional Gas of Hard Spheres

The dynamics of a system of hard spheres enclosed between two parallel plates separated a distance smaller than two particle diameters is described at the level of kinetic theory. The interest focuses on the behavior of the quasi-two-dimens...

eLISA: Astrophysics and cosmology in the millihertz regime

This document introduces the exciting and fundamentally new science and astronomy that the European New Gravitational Wave Observatory (NGO) mission (derived from the previous LISA proposal) will deliver. The mission (which we will refer to...
