XR in cultural heritage: a comparative study of motivation, presence, and engagement across 360° virtual tours, VR, and AR at the archaeological site of Villa Regina

Abstract As immersive technologies gain prominence in cultural heritage, understanding their specific experiential qualities has emerged as a central research challenge. This study presents a rigorously controlled comparative analysis of three immersive systems: virtual reality (...

Dysfunctional romantic beliefs of heterosexual women undergraduate students: the role of traditional media and social media

This study aimed to explore dysfunctional romantic beliefs among women undergraduate students and the meanings they attribute to romantic messages received from traditional media and social media. Using a qualitative research design, twenty heterosexual undergraduate women partic...

[Au 4 (dppb) 3 ] 2+ – A Planar Gold Cluster with Bright Excitation Wavelength Dependent Emission

ABSTRACT The reaction of dppb(AuCl) 2 and InCl gives the [Au 4 (dppb) 3 ] 2+ cluster where the four gold atoms are arranged in a deltoid. This contrasts all known [Au 4 ] 2+ clusters which exclusively form tetrahedral structures. Single crystals of the title compound luminesce wi...

Confiding in a maven or a charmer? Impression management behavior of artificially intelligent conversational agents and consumer self-disclosure

Purpose Data-driven hyper-personalization promises stronger consumer relationships, yet growing privacy concerns and regulations limit marketers’ access to consumer data. In this context, voluntarily self-disclosed consumer information becomes critical for creating mutual value a...

Clinical insights into catathrenia: A real-world analysis from a tertiary sleep center

INTRODUCTION: Catathrenia is a rare sleep-related breathing disorder marked by groaning during prolonged expiration, often underrecognized or misdiagnosed as obstructive or central sleep apnoea (OSA or CSA) or parasomnia. Understanding its clinical and polysomnographic features i...

PFUSRC‑166 Topological Unfolding from 0 to 1: Mathematical Validation and Closed‑Loop Confirmation of the PFUSRC System's Foundational Axioms

This paper takes the infinite product constant c_{Pell } ≈0.58058 from the Stevenhagen conjecture as its point of entry, conducting a reverse structural isomorphism comparison from a mathematical phenomenon back to the foundational axioms of the PFUSRC system. The constant is def...

Magnetothermally Responsive Mesoporous Silica Nanocarriers: Materials Design, Thermoresponsive Gates and Controlled Drug Release

Magnetothermally responsive nanocarriers represent a promising platform for spatio-temporally controlled drug delivery by combining alternating magnetic field (AMF)-induced heating with thermally triggered cargo release. Among the available architectures, magnetite-core/mesoporou...

Tricking Turing: How to Build a Geometric Checkerboard on Living Tissue

The snake’s head fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris) displays one of the rarest pigmentation motifs in the plant kingdom: a high-contrast checkerboard of alternating purple and white domains on its tepals. Standard reaction–diffusion theory does not generically produce this patter...

Prognostic value of systemic immune‐inflammation index and systemic inflammation response index with maternal gestational diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

OBJECTIVE: Mounting evidence indicates that the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) might be associated with the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, existing findings remain inconclusive. This systematic revie...

Vernonia cinerea Extract and Its Silver Nanoparticles in the Making of Indigenous Eyeliner: A Formulation and Evaluation Study

Background, Vernonia cinerea Less. (Asteraceae), known as “Poovaamkurunnel” in Malayalam and “Sahadevi” in Sanskrit, is a medicinally significant herb documented in Ayurvedic and other traditional medicine systems for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, and antioxidant...

IN VITRO EVALUATION OF ERK1/2 PATHWAY ACTIVATION BY BACOPA MONNIERI EXTRACT COMPARED WITH BACOPA MONNIERI EASITM IN A DIFFERENTIATED SH-SY5Y CELL LINE

Neuropathic injury is a pathological condition that occurs due to progressive neurodegeneration driven by oxidative stress, resulting in suppression of cellular survival cascade like Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) pathway. The present study aims to evaluate th...

A comprehensive assessment of temporal limit and efficacy of Budyko framework in capturing various climate change and human intervention scenarios using a controlled synthetic environment over ten Indian basins

Study Region 10 Indian basins Study Focus The traditional Budyko framework (TBF) is a simple model developed for studying the long-term mean behaviour of natural catchments, assuming negligible storage change. However, efficacy of the framework under climate change is still debat...

Introduction to the Palestine, National Liberation, and Self-Determination Special Issue

Rather than treating the question of Palestine as part of a “religious conflict,” solely a response to October 7th, or a situation eliciting only pity and despair, this special issue argues that the current genocide in Palestine is part of a longer, historical arc of British, and...

Collaborative Robots in Construction: A Proactivity Perspective

Abstract Achieving effective human–robot collaboration (HRC) in dynamic environments like construction requires robots to function as proactive peers, anticipating human intents and acting in advance. While current literature analyzes enabling technologies through a sense–plan–ac...

Benchmarking of pathology foundation models for assessing HER2 amplification and CEP17 polysomy in breast cancer

Abstract Accurate assessment of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) amplification and Chromosome 17 (CEP17) copy number is critical for breast cancer treatment, yet diagnostically equivocal (IHC 2+) cases remain a clinical bottleneck. This study systematically benchma...

Reputation Arbitrage and the Crisis of Institutional Trust: Defending Organisations When Genuine Identities Perform Fraudulent Actions

The proliferation of generative artificial intelligence has restructured the threat landscape for institutional security, shifting the locus of attack from technical infrastructure compromise to the instrumentalisation of legitimate insiders. This paper, the second in a three-par...
