University Students’ Perceptions of Gamified Learning: A Comparison of Students with and Without Prior Experience

The growing integration of gamification and digital technologies in higher education has led to increasing interest in students’ perceptions of gamified learning environments. While existing research predominantly focuses on the effectiveness of gamification in enhancing motivati...

Matter and Antimatter: The Mirror-Flow Model

An accounting model derives the matter–antimatter asymmetry without symmetry breaking, from four assumptions: three axes with two directions each; doubling; unbreakable mirror symmetry; and the rule of existence — nothing exists without completing its cycle. The antiparticle is t...

Acute fulminant cerebellitis in children: a case series and literature review on diagnostic challenges and management strategies

Background: Acute cerebellitis (AC) in children is often benign; however, a fulminant variant featuring rapid cerebellar edema, hydrocephalus, and brainstem compression can be life-threatening. Case summary: We present a three-case series of pediatric patients with fulminant cere...

An unusual presentation of membranous nephropathy with primary and secondary features: a case report

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, broadly classified as primary or secondary based on etiology and pathologic findings. We present a single unusual case report of a 75-year-old woman with an 11-year course of MN featuring concurrent ch...

Development of an intervention for middle adolescents (15–17 years old) using the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) to empower adolescent decision-making regarding HPV vaccination uptake

Introduction In the United Kingdom, where a school-based human papillomavirus vaccination programme vaccinates 12–13 year old students, parents/guardians have been the primary decision-makers regarding receipt of the vaccination. As the average age of first sexual intercourse is...

Familial recurrence and phenotype concordance in non-syndromic congenital heart disease: A tertiary care center study from India

Objectives: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly, yet robust familial recurrence data from the South Asian region remain limited despite a high regional burden. This study estimates familial recurrence risk and evaluates phenotype concordance in mu...

Dual-pathway mechanisms of green technology acceptance and sustainable agricultural practice: capability and motivational evidence from Thailand

Purpose This study aims to explain how green technology acceptance (GTA) is translated into sustained Green Agricultural Practices (GAP) by developing a dual-pathway behavioural model integrating capability and motivational mechanisms. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on the t...

The Endomorphic Collapse Traverses the Foundations of Mathematics

This quiver's canonical bilinear form is provably dead: indefinite, selecting no Dynkin type at all. One bit, a sign on a single vertex, is the entire distance from that form to the Cartan matrix of su(3) ⊕ su(2). The forms deadness is what makes the gauge content live in the bit...
