Prevention of sexual violence in the public university in Guatemala – qualitative survey on suggestions from students

Sexual violence is a global problem in higher education, with multiple adverse academic, social, and health outcomes. Universities can take several primary and secondary preventative actions to combat violence. The stakeholder (i.e. student) suggestions for universities have rece...

ADHD and Autism in Online Higher Education: A Scoping Review and Thematic Synthesis of Reported Challenges

Studies involving students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or autism have reported a range of challenges in higher education that may affect academic success and retention. Yet, most existing reviews focus on in-person settings at primary or secondary lev...

Performance and Environmental Implications of CO2-Cured Nanoengineered Recycled-Aggregate Concrete with Treated Aggregates

Abstract The large-scale use of recycled aggregate (RA) in concrete is hindered by its high porosity and water absorption, which degrade mechanical and durability performance. This study introduces a novel approach that integrates nanocomposite modification and CO 2 curing to unl...

EXPERIMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF THE STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF LATERITIC SOIL STABILIZED WITH SAWDUST ASH AND PLANTAIN PEEL ASH

Lateritic soils constitute important construction materials for highways, embankments, foundations, airfields, and earth-retaining structures across Nigeria. Nevertheless, some lateritic deposits possess inadequate engineering characteristics that may result in pavement distress,...

Neurodiversity and generative AI in higher education: A sequential multi-method qualitative study of students’ interactions, motivations, and strategies

Neurodivergent students have been largely overlooked in research examining student experiences with generative AI (GenAI) in higher education, creating critical knowledge gaps about inclusive educational technology use. This sequential multi-method qualitative study examined how...

Infant-caregiver vocal contingency changes across varying interpersonal space

Vocal contingency between caregivers and infants is a fundamental building block for socio-communicative development. This paper investigates vocal contingency in home settings and how it varies as a function of the physical distance between infants and their caregivers. We recor...

Real-time measurement error mitigation for one-way quantum computation

Abstract We propose a quantum error mitigation scheme for single-qubit measurement errors, particularly suited for one-way quantum computation. Contrary to well established error mitigation methods for circuit-based quantum computation that require the circuits to be run several...

Artificial neuro-fuzzy intelligence for dynamic tracking and prediction of HIV prevalence and new infections among individuals aged 15 to 49 years in Uganda

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection remains a major global health burden, and Uganda continues to experience rising new HIV incidence, making prevention and management increasingly challenging. Accurate estimation of HIV prevalence (PHIVP) and tracking new HIV incidence...

Tunable Kondo Behavior in a Bilayer Graphene Quantum Channel

Abstract The interaction between itinerant electrons and localized spins is key to a wide range of electronic phenomena. We present conductance measurements of a quantum point contact (QPC) in bilayer graphene (BLG). Beyond the expected quantized conductance plateaus reflecting s...

Anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (Anti-MRSA) flavonoids from Iraqi Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck

Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck (Rutaceae) was investigated as a potential source of anti-MRSA compounds. A bioassay-guided isolation approach afforded fourteen compounds from the peel and leaf extracts of C. sinensis , including a new flavanone glycoside, sinensidin ( 10 ). Structur...

Translanguaging Through Play: PLAYMOBIL Pro-Mediated Serious Play as an Inclusive Assessment Framework in Multilingual Higher Education (UK, Albania, and Kosovo)

Traditional assessment practices in multilingual higher education continue to privilege text-based and monolingual demonstrations of learning, often limiting multilingual students’ opportunities to draw on their full linguistic repertoires and increasing assessment-related anxiet...

Characterising caregivers’ contingent responses: Short, slow, and clear speech facilitates infant turn-taking

Bidirectional temporal contingency in infant-caregiver interaction is believed to be instrumental in shaping the development of turn-taking and speech. Likewise, caregivers are known to modulate their voices in a distinctive register when speaking to infants. Yet, less is known a...

Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Structures Resting on Soil Classes C and D under Repeated Earthquakes

This paper presents a thorough study of inelastic displacement ratios (IDR) of single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems under repeated earthquake loading by accounting for soil–structure interaction (SSI) and system’s degradation. Even though, there have been much research on impa...

Element-Specific DonorNumbers for Anions

Abstract Anion interactions with cations/molecules are crucial across chemistry and biology: in battery electrolytes, synthesis, atmospheric processes, and protein denaturation. Selecting the optimum anion represents an immense challenge, as anion interactions are diverse and com...

A controlled trial of a co-designed virtual reality experience to support wellbeing in students

Abstract Increasing rates of mental health problems among university students require innovative interventions. This study evaluated a multi-sensory, virtual reality (VR) intervention aimed at reducing stress and exam anxiety among students at a healthcare university in the UK. P...
