One Technology, Divergent Outcomes: Extending Adaptive Structuration Theory to Explain Heterogeneous Organizational Responses to Generative AI

This paper explains why organizations that adopt the same generative AI/LLM technology end up with different results. It argues the real driver isn't the technology itself but "appropriation" — how employees actually use it day to day, which can differ from how it was intended. U...

Does intergenerational income upward mobility increase the subjective well-being of middle-aged and older people in China?—Evidence from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS)

Intergenerational income mobility is widely regarded as a key indicator of social vitality and opportunity, yet its consequences may extend beyond the mobile individuals themselves. Using 3956 parent–child pairs from the China Family Panel Studies, this study examines whether adu...

Processing of Natural and Regenerated Cellulosic Fiber Blended Yarns: Defining a Novel Yarn Quality Index (YQI) and Fiber Interaction Framework

The growing demand for sustainable textile materials has increased interest in the utilization of natural and regenerated cellulosic fibers in blended yarn structures. In this study, ring-spun yarns produced from Tencel, Modal, Viscose, Bamboo, Cotton, and their binary blends wer...

Convergence Analysis and Error Propagation of the Laplace Residual Power Series Method for Linear Delay Matrix Differential Equations

Matrix differential equations with time delay are crucial to the modeling of complex multivariate systems. However, the existing semi-analytic Laplace residual power series method (LRPSM) literature mainly focuses on scalar or no-delay problems, and lacks rigorous theoretical gua...

DS-RangeNet: Lightweight Dual-Stream LiDAR Semantic Segmentation for Industrial Indoor Environments

Real-time LiDAR semantic segmentation for industrial AGVs must distinguish repeated structures and weak glass returns while remaining robust to sensor-dependent intensity and tight edge computing budgets. We introduce DS-RangeNet, a lightweight range image network that processes...

E8 Geometric Consensus: Phi-Scaled Root Vectors as Distributed Error-Correcting Code — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 E8 root vectors, when phase-encoded at 132Hz and scaled by φ, form a natural [240, 8, 120] quantum low-density parity-check code whose syndrome space is the E8 lattice itself. Distributed nodes — whether cortical columns, network routers, or trading agents — achieve Byzan...

Crusius on probability and certainty in empirical science: a reply to van den Berg and Demarest

Crusius’ work on physics has recently become the target of well-deserved scholarly attention. In this paper, I aim to challenge a recent interpretation of Crusius’ physics as a merely probable science defended by Hein van den Berg and Boris Demarest. By inquiring into the sense o...

Does disfluency affect social judgments and decisions? Evidence from spontaneous speech

Disfluency in speech (e.g., English um and uh , also known as filled pauses ) has long been argued to have social costs for the speaker. However, this conclusion is based on a limited set of measures obtained for scripted, lab-recorded speech. Here, using stimuli from spontaneous...

Home Writing Environments of At-Risk and Typically Developing Children in Spain: Implications for Preventing Writing Difficulties

Writing is a key competence for academic and social success, and for future employability. From a sociocultural perspective, writing development is shaped by both school instruction and literacy-related experiences within the home. However, little is known about what specific wri...

The Characteristics of Kitsch in the Architectural Propaganda of the Third Reich

The aim of this article is to examine the use of kitsch elements in architecture as a tool of propaganda in the totalitarian regime of the Third Reich. The study employs a historical-interpretative research method. It begins by outlining the mechanisms through which kitsch was ut...

Accessibility, Challenges, and Opportunities in Daily In-Home Amazon Echo Use by Sighted and Visually Impaired Users

Smart speakers may support independent living among individuals with visual disabilities, yet evidence on everyday use remains limited. This study examined user experience among 79 participants (41 visually impaired, 38 sighted) over 7 days of naturalistic in-home Amazon Echo use...

A History of the World in Twelve Shipwrecks

In the last 20 years or so, a genre of popular history writing has developed that explores the history of the world, or the history of certain places, through specific objects. Some notable example...

Perceived time in the presence of others: Further arguments for an attentional view of social facilitation

Although the effects of the presence of others on behavior constitute one of the oldest topics studied in social psychology, the reason why these effects occur is still the subject of scientific debate. Three hypotheses are commonly cited: (1) the presence of others facilitates d...

Hot dip galvanized steel sheet: Future issues and opportunities

Hot dip galvanized steel sheet developments continue to proceed at among the fastest rates compared to other industrial sectors. Factors influencing this rapid rate of progress include the unceasing demands of the automotive sector for steels with ever-increasing capabilities for...

Plant-mediated fabrication of Ag/TiO₂ bimetallic nanoparticles with anti-diabetic and anti-Inflammatory activities: Computational and experimental investigation

Globally, diabetes affects 589 million people and is a severe health epidemic, especially in regions where its incidence remains rising. The main challenge is the increase in diabetic complications and antibiotic resistance linked to conventional treatments. Bi-metallic nanoparti...

Crashworthiness optimization of biodegradable 3D-printed structures via geometric triggers and fuzzy Logic integration

This study investigates the crashworthiness of 3D-printed Polylactic Acid (PLA+) thin-walled tubes with engineered geometric cut-outs under quasi-static axial compression. Using a Taguchi L18 orthogonal array, the effects of wall thickness (2, 4, and 6 mm) and cut-out parameters...

Resolving Cross-Border Tax Disputes in China: To Litigate or Not to Litigate?

This article examines how foreign taxpayers resolve cross-border tax disputes in China, focusing on litigation, administrative reconsideration and negotiation. Using the S Company case and recent reforms, it argues that litigation remains exceptional, while preventive strategies...
