Comfort versus Legitimacy? Student Perspectives on In-Course, Online, and AI-Mediated Assessment
This study examines how final-year undergraduate economics students evaluate contemporary assessment practices in a period of rapid digital change. Using survey data from a cohort of final-year undergraduate economics students at a UK university, it analyses perceptions of in-cou...

Compassion in Mental Health Nursing: A Scoping Review
Compassion is widely recognised as a core component of mental health nursing, yet its meaning and application within this specialty remain underexplored. This scoping review examined how compassion is conceptualised, experienced, and enacted in mental health nursing practice, and...

A Short-Interval Refinement of Brocard's Conjecture at Products of Consecutive Primes
Let $p < q$ be consecutive primes with $p \ge 3$. Brocard’s conjecture asserts that at least four primes lie between $p^2$ and $q^2$. We propose a more structured conjectural distribution of these primes by introducing the intermediate points $p(q - 1)$ and $pq$. Our principal co...

From Perception to Reasoning in Remote Sensing: A Survey and Outlook
With the rapid growth of remote sensing data and multimodal information, foundation models for Earth observation and vision–language geospatial reasoning models have become key drivers of intelligent remote sensing analysis. However, the specific roles and applications of reasoni...

Discovery of the Vacuum Density Constant and Its Relation to the Fine-Structure Constant
Starting from the pure geometric limit of diamond refractive index, this paper discovers that the physical vacuum itself possesses density and refractive index. The geometric extremum of a regular tetrahedron yields the refractive index of diamond relative to a zero-density refer...

Intel-based Apple computers equipped with the Apple T2 security chip have been unable to operate modern discrete NVIDIA GPUs as external GPUs (eGPUs) under Linux, a long-standing limitation unresolved upstream (t2linux issue #189), affecting machines where kernel-level reallocati...

Concerns regarding recurrent fluorescence’s impact on smaller diffuse ISM aromatics
Abstract Recent research implied that recurrent fluorescence (RF) could bolster smaller aromatics against fragmentation in the diffuse ISM, yet that hypothesis is contested by timescales for unrelenting dissociative recombination (electrons), and unceasing dissociating photons. S...

Influence of chemical activation on the strength and durability of lime–corn cob ash cement
The slow rate of strength gain and the relatively poor durability of lime–pozzolana binders limit their broader use in sustainable construction applications. This study examined how chemical activation influences the physicochemical characteristics, compressive strength, porosity...

Lost in translation: understanding of jargon used in clinic-patient correspondence
To establish the level of older adults’ understanding of medical jargon used in letters sent to patients from audiology departments after an audiology assessment appointment. Participants were asked to define commonly used audiology jargon terms via an online survey platform. The...

We study a two-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with saturable nonlinearity on the lattice Z2. Using a variational approach based on the Nehari manifold, we establish the existence of nontrivial periodic ground states on finite lattices and establish the existe...

VERSION 1.12 (2026-08-26) — the amendment is descriptive, and it says so. This version adds AMENDMENT-v1.12.md, which does three things and refuses a fourth. It declares facts about the serving mechanism, the corpus and a pilot series; it retracts twenty-eight earlier claims, eac...

In this paper, we address the fast computation of highly oscillatory Bessel transforms involving algebraic-type singularities and Cauchy principal value integrals. By modifying the numerical steepest-descent method, we propose a new efficient quadrature rule. We first divide the...

Modular Periodicity of the Euler Up/Down Numbers at Odd Prime Powers
Let E_n denote the number of alternating permutations of {1,...,n}, equivalently characterized by Σ_{n≥0} E_n z^n/n! = sec z + tan z. For every q≥1, the sequence (E_n mod q)_{n≥0} is eventually periodic; let d(q) and s(q) denote its minimal eventual period and preperiod. For ever...

Abstract Objectives Advance care planning (ACP) is increasingly conceptualized as a proactive, communication-centered process that supports person-centered care in later life. Although prior research has focused on demographic and clinical predictors, less is known about the psyc...

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme events, including droughts, floods, and compound events. Agricultural drought remains difficult because it is shaped by multivariate interactions among climatic, hydrological, and vegetation-related variables. Al...
