Different prompts – different online learning behavior? Investigating generic, specific, and adaptive specific prompts

Purpose In digital learning environments, learners need to regulate their learning, yet many do not engage in effective self-regulated learning strategies. Prompts can scaffold these processes, but their effectiveness may depend on their specificity and alignment with learners’ o...

Coherent Vibrational Wave Packet Motion in Er Cry4a Proteins Monitors the Redox State of the Flavin Chromophore

Abstract Cryptochromes are blue-light-sensitive flavoproteins that play central roles in biological function. In European robin (Erithacus rubecula) ErCry4a proteins, optical excitation of their flavin chromophore forms a long-lived radical pair through a sequence of electron-tra...

Naga Politics Between Past Aspirations and Present Realities: A Critical Analysis

This article critically interrogates the trajectory of Naga politics by situating its contemporary realities within the longue durée of historical aspirations for sovereignty, identity and self-determination. Moving beyond conventional state-centric and insurgency-focused analyse...

Spectral analysis of groundwater level time series for robust estimation of aquifer response times

Abstract. Groundwater resources represent Germany's most important source of freshwater but they are increasingly under pressure. Climate change, societal developments, and rising abstraction rates are impacting subsurface storage in ways that are currently difficult to predict,...

Spin Polarized Transport in Copper Oxide Atomic Junctions Revealed by Anomalous Shot Noise Behavior in the Presence of the Kondo Effect

Abstract Noise measurements provide a valuable tool for revealing spin polarization effects in the electronic transport through quantum coherent conductors. We present an extension of the Landauer description of shot noise to include energy dependent transmission functions and ap...

Plyometric-jump training with versus without unstable load to improve physical fitness in trained young volleyball players: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Plyometric-jump training (PJT) has been recommended as an effective resistance training modality for enhancing vertical jump and lower limb muscle power in young athletes. While unstable surfaces are popular means to address progression and specificity, an alt...

When boundaries are crossed: Children's voices on care, power and accountability

Children's everyday accounts of life in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) reveal the moral complexity of their relationships with adults, where care and control are intertwined. Drawing on participatory, child-centred research with 86 children in six German ECEC centres,...
