Verbal violence against children is a pervasive yet often overlooked form of abuse with significant psychological consequences. While international child rights frameworks emphasize protection from all forms of violence, legal recognition and enforcement of protections against ve...

Where's the Team Spirit? An Exploratory Study on Team Development Through Co-located Tablet-Based VR

We explore how narrative-driven asymmetric VR experiences can support the development of teamwork-related knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs), such as communication, coordination, trust, and reflexivity. We present the design and evaluation of a tablet-based VR training exper...

Response diversity increases functional but decreases compositional stability of grassland communities

Summary The insurance hypothesis of biodiversity assumes that biodiversity increases ecosystem stability when functionally redundant species exhibit distinct responses to environmental changes, allowing some species to compensate for the loss of others. However, empirical evidenc...

Understanding pre- and post-COVID urban neighborhood dynamics: a study analyzing georeferenced tweets for New York City

Abstract Sudden disruptions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can reshape multiple dimensions of everyday urban life by affecting social interactions, mobility patterns, and the use of urban spaces. Previous research efforts trying to understand the consequences for citizens relied...

Mapping structural heterogeneity in three-dimensional biophotonic gyroid networks using position-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering

Abstract The wings of select Papilionid and Lycaenid butterflies contain a three-dimensional gyroid network of a solid cuticle phase in air. In butterfly scales, gyroid networks are optically interesting, as they create the green colour observed in the wings of these butterflies....
