Die vergangene Zukunft der Literaturtheorie. Zur temporalen Dimension disziplinärer Arbeitsteilungen
Abstract The essay departs from the so-called »end of theory« and relates it to transformations of temporal horizons: the loss of an emphatic conception of the future, ecological crises, and artificial intelligence. It engages in conversation with two developments, each starting...

A Scoping Review of Vibe Coding and AI-Assisted Programming in University Computing Education
Background: Generative AI coding tools are increasingly used in university computing education, including emerging practices commonly described as vibe coding. However, evidence on their educational effects is scattered across studies that differ in interaction patterns, instruct...

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings p...

A new utilizing STATCOM to improve wind farm voltage stability
In order to reduce and manage general chaotic oscillations in three-area power system, this publication suggests three-wind farm with a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Improved Sparrow Search Algorithm (ISSA) technique is used in conjunction with suggested hybrid approa...

Community-based monitoring of neonatal jaundice using the point-of-care Bilistick® System 2.0
Neonatal jaundice often peaks after discharge, creating the need for reliable post-discharge monitoring. This study evaluated the feasibility and safety of a hospital-to-community pathway using the Bilistick® System 2.0 within routine Community Health Family Services (CHFS). This...

"All I do on this app is cry" : death, grief, and memorialisation content on TikTok
This dissertation examines death, grief, and memorialisation content on TikTok. Drawing on Michael Hviid Jacobsen’s theory of spectacular death as a diagnostic framework and Luciano Floridi’s information ethics as an evaluative framework, the study analyses a corpus of 132 TikTok...

Disruptions of MICP Bonds between Spherical Cone Grains
Abstract Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) technology has garnered considerable interest in the area of sand stabilization. However, few studies have examined the influence of grain morphology on intergrain MICP bonds. In this study, we carry out grain-sc...
